There is an argumenent in the UK at the moment about deporting and extraditing people to nations who have poor human rights records. I think a nation who imprisons people without trial and without legal representation is a perfect example. Step forward the land of the (mostly) free.
No, NOO i tell you! I saw a nice, middle class family on Watchdog complain about this. Are you trying to tell me that somewhere in their midst lies... someone of dubious morals? I can't and won't believe that, for heavens sake there was a copy of the Daily Mail on their coffee table!
...they cant have much personal information other than your viewing habits. Can they?
You see that little green LED on the front? Yep... integral camera and microphone. On a serious note those boxes have been known to go nuts and dial 123456 and immediately hang-up every few seconds, as this connects to the "Speaking Clock" in the UK it is quite an expensive bug:-)
Evar had a 1GB MP3 player you can use as a phone, too? Or (if your wallet is so inclined) a mobile that will stream music from the Net? These things are hugely underrated.
Well i can watch TV on my phone which is slightly cool but not in its current implementation. It is such a waste of resource to stream it over a packet switched network, the sooner proper broadcast decoders get into mainstream handsets the better.
Uhh, this is nonsense. None of those are the "top mobile operating systems" as the vast majority of phones run on a very slim RTOS with custom MMI. These are the top 'smartphone' OSes, but who cares about smartphones?
In Omagh the Real IRA engineered the sitution to move people into the path of an explosion killing nearly 30 people. This is similar in nature as the bus explosions happened after the tube stations were closed forcing many more people onto buses.
Ok most 'analysts' are saying it'll be an Al Qaeda linked group but we shouldn't forget that our British cities have been blown up by much closer enemies for many years.
There is no 'click to zoom', if you want to zoom into a specific area you have to position it in the middle of the area and zoom it seperately. That's really clumsy, it needs to either click to zoom or have a drag box to select an area.
Now someone is going to tell me i've missed the big 'Click to Zoom' button on it I imagine.
There was a similar incident a few years ago on a UK motorway. A huge, gigantic, whacking great truck was out of control with a stuck throttle and the driver called the emergency services. He didnt want to flick the engine off as he'd lose brakes and steering, I can't remember the justification for not simple engaging neutral.
Anyway, afterwards he was accused of doing it on puropse as a publicity stunt - his truck with company name were shown on TV from news helicopters.
I think its very inappropriate for them to continue the back-slapping presentation while the craft is still in the air. This is a prototype space craft which has just gone through major stress (possibly outwith spec) and is gliding unpowered from 35k feet.
Each episode will be available for 7 days following the Thursday evening repeats.
So no need to destroy your mind with a homemade Total Perspective Vortex if you don't catch it first time. Though I'm sure a CD release will follow shortly.
I always thought the cricket commentary in the books was one of the funniest bits of the series! It is so accurate as only cricket fans (like myself) can probably appreciate.
The first commentator you hear on that trailer is the legendary Henry Blofeld who has been around on BBC Radio 4 for around 500 years. The second voice is Fred Truman, who has been commentating on cricket for the BBC for only 300 years.

You were going so, so well until "Darren Aronofsky, >b>Guy Richie, and Christopher Nolan".

This is the sort of problem which the corporate world created lobbying to solve.

They are closed, proprietary protocols. The future of PTT is PoC/PAG as defined by the OMA.

Can I have a tool to locate and delete people who use the word 'boxen'? GPL preferably.
Not wishing to be critical, oh all right...

I like that!!

I think it was announced that it was wind shear which caused the roll on the first flight.
Let him land it then carry on with the 'show'.
Commentary on NASA TV seems to have altitude and it made it, it was rolling horribly on the way up... horrifying to watch.
The BBC stream seems totally broken and unreliable but the Nasa TV one is fine.
