Everyone in the UK pays assloads of tax on fricken everything. If you think it should entitle you to access the things paid for by those taxes, you are on another planet.
Can we agree on a flag to wave so that, once the 3vi1 h4xx0rs have destroyed all the intarnets, we can signal to others in visual range 'willing to trade pr0n dvdroms via sneakernet'? Maybe any suitably encrusted piece of fabric?
I wonder how well those techniques would work here in blighty, with the road 'calming' measures such as big bumps in the road, traffic lights and artificially narrowed roads(so that you have to wait for oncoming traffic to clear before you proceed)? More miles per gallon would be useful for us as more and more roads and bridges are blocked off or become one-way systems. The shortest drivable route to the centre of town (6 miles as the crow flies)has increased at least 10% since i learned to drive (and the average speed has probably dropped by a third).
Not at all. I run one myself. It has a big funnel on the roof which feeds a reservoir. A simple waterwheel and high ratio reduction gear provides forward movement. Okay, not much forward movement, but as climate change increases the average rainfall, things can only get better.
Where the heck are these lexus minicabs? Knightsbridge? Minicabs here up north are diesel skodas or random japanese stuff. ( With cages for whippets or ferrets to comply with local laws )
hmmm.. if they give out a spec, everyone will rip the piss out of them for both the bugs that make the program fail the spec and for lameness in the spec itself. If they release the source, hilarity at any lame coding. Any open source microsoft office will be a _new_ project.
With the recent improvements to graphics cards, computers have now got enough power for the next level of PVR to become possible. I refer of course to Personal Video Rendering, ie locally generated real-time TV. Even modest AI can handle the retarded talk shows and formulaic sycophantic interviews.
Just imagine: you can watch computer generated random pointless drivel such as 'my boyfriend left me for a transexual limbo dancer and now i am marrying his mother' with 5.1 surround whooping and hollering from the audience for as long as you like (with artificial repetitive and annoying 'advertisement' breaks, of course), then decide to watch a blu-ray hd film. The software would automatically flip to rendering 20 minutes of a sports game, followed by 30 minutes of tedious analysis by virtual sports presenters before showing the film. Artificially intelligent filtering would then cut many of the scenes and redub profane dialog no matter what time it was being watched. Monitoring daemons would flag the kind of shows that you like to watch and then 'cancel' them.
I think you are wrong in describing fashionable people as 'fucking morons who will believe anything they see on TV' . Lifestyle magazines are more influential than TV to those fucking morons.
The music-listening public has just as much appreciation for today's sucky pop music as we always have; we're simply pirating it a lot more than we used to.
..maybe it is just that we are pirating it in a way that can be more easily measured than in the past?
... are these large hadrons anyway? Couldn't they have built a small prototype machine for colliding tiny hadrons first, then scaled up when they had got it all sorted out? Idiots!
Speaking of crims and terrorists, they also get money from unemployment benefits and the like. Ergo, your TAXES are helping support terrorism. I assume there will be a big campaign to publicise this and recommend people avoid paying taxes........ Real soon........Anytime now...

This is precisely why I am still contemplating and not buying third generation video players and HD - any player that wants to put itself online and check/revoke license keys is not welcome in my house.
I wouldn't mind any supplier's gadget phoning home from my house as long as I can charge them for doing so/fine them for unauthorised lan access/charge interest on money owing/charge them for correspondence etc. I need to get some of those nickels and dimes back.
Duh! They can't take back the bits you downloaded because your upstream is much slower than your downstream, and you might have deleted some of the bits or send fraudulent bits. Obviously they will send you 5 copies of the inverse of the bits you have received. This will create even more bandwidth problems and ensure more lucrative consultancy work.

TFA doesn't mention the free snorkels. Wtf?

The fine article isn't displayed for you, as you don't have your security I.D. transponder within range. Duh!
but how can they test it when the output is always either 0, meh, pfft or 1?
If the attackers want to maximise chaos, they will leave the traffic signals functioning normally.

Heh. I don't doubt it. I thought you were proposing to fill the non-watertight vault with oil.
.. but water leaking in would just displace the oil.
Hah! Ok, how about a test on soap operas or celebrity trivia. Or sports?

DOH!
Thank you.
In Paris, FR for whatever reason.
Pffft! We could build 2 for the money we are pissing away on the 2012 olympics.
Or, more likely, we could build 1 for $80,000,000,000.
