Actually, tucked into one of the DVD cases was a copy of DVD Shrink. Gordon simply needs to install that, and he's good to watch the movies without FBI warnings and unskippable trailers.
I like to pick my nose, but I have an IQ of 91. So bang goes your theory.
Seriously though, why would anyone NOT just use mobile data these days, surely it's AS easy to get a grandparent using a simple HSDPA dongle as it is plugging in a phone cable.
That's why you should back HD DVD. It's been pretty well hacked to death, and it can easily be backed up. Blu-ray has fractionally more secure DRM, thus is one to avoid. Plus it's a Sony show, which makes it a danger to all who go near it.
I'm not disputing the validity of the investigation, I'm questioning the methods they use.
For example, walking round saying "There's radiation here" when there is radiation of some kind pretty much everywhere isn't a proper investigation.
As for YouTube, I think it depends on your outlook. You don't have to look too far to find a whole bunch of illegal activity online. That doesn't mean we should have people policing the internet shutting sites down, or lobbying against them. What YouTube needs to do is provide information to the police that can help catch the uploaders, and thus get to the souce of the crime. Also, victims should be encouraged to report such crimes to the police, who should be taking them seriously.
If you try to police the net, you'll end up seriously short of time, and in a really bad mood.
I refuse to accept that the BBC would ever engage in bad science. Don't forget, they are the ones who put us onto the dangers of WiFi and more recently, kids fighting on YouTube.
I beleive people actually WOULD rent an iPod if it cost, say, $5 a month to do so.
Of course, this isn't the same thing you are talking about, but what if Apple announced a subscription service on iTunes that for a bit extra each month enabled you to rent an iPod.
But it is the customer who suffers, right? People buy the newest things running Windows. What do they get? Beta devices. Buggy. Feature poor. Scant battery life. Rotten interface. Such a great way to build a world-class device that everyone desires, isn't it?
Now look at Intelligent Design in consumer computing. Look at anything made by Apple.
Yes, lets look at the first generation iPod. Which had a crappy battery, got so hot you couldn't touch it, and possibly would burn your skin, and generally didn't work at all including skipping, cutting out, etc. And this was AFTER Creative had already proved it was possible to make an MP3 player
So judging Apple by your own daft set of rules: they blow.
My problem with this is that it doesn't matter how many millions of bacteria there are on anything you touch, its the kind of bacteria they are. For example, I'm certain dishcloths and kitchen utensils contain bundles of bacteria, as long as they aren't harmful, I'm not too bothered.
Actually, I probably would. Dr Who should be sexless. Its not about that, nor should it be. The Sci-Fi is supposed to be the core of the show. Not who is getting laid with who (no pun, really, no pun intended).
The bisexual thing doesn't bother me at all in fact. But it does irritate me slightly that Russel T Davis is using the show to "enlighten" everyone that being gay or bisexual is fine. Of course its bloody fine, but I don't care about it in my sci-fi. Well, not in Dr Who anyway.
Except that all the other music stores in the world that aren't iTMS are using WMA. With the exception of Real, who are using AAC. Although God knows why, given that Apple are too monopolistic to allow them access to the iPod hardware.
Face it, Apple are just as keen to lock their customers into one format and store as Microsoft are. The difference is of course, with Microsoft you get to choose the hardware you want, and aren't stuck with that ueless monolyth of tacky white plastic know as the iPod.
"The developer likewise announced that Microsoft would be releasing updates for Office 2000, XP, and 2003 to read and write the new formats when the new version of Office is released."
There have always been cross-format converters available when new formats are announced.
Oh don't worry, Britain (Specifically Blair) love the US making suggestions. We wouldn't be able to run our country without your help.
No disrespect to actual Americans, but our Governments together are a bloody liability. They just agree blindly with what the other says and ignore what the voting public want. Its a huge back slaping excercise.
Thank God both countries contain (some) sane people!
On the subject of these cards, the expected cost is supposed to be about £80 (~$140) which is really not going to be popular with the public when it launches.
I'm all for clever technology to prevent crime, but the ID card is not going to help at all.
You make a good point. I'm not diabetic, although I have a number of friends who are and I know it is a pain, especially as you say, if you can't go somewhere unless you are sure the drugs are available.
That said, a lot of people manage their diabetes really well, knowing the warnings signs their body gives them and medicating, and keeping sugar levels regulated with their diet.
In an ideal world there would be a device that releases insulin into your body slowly, over time, when needed.
I'm pretty sure too, there are some fairly nasty side-effects to anti-rejection medication. After all, it works by surpressing your immune system doesn't it?
Still, different things work for different people.
Indeed, this was reported in the UK some months ago. But what would you rather have, Diabetes, or be dependant on anti-rejection drugs for the rest of your life?
Personally I'm not sure, but I think Insulin is easier to use, and diabetes easier to control than 'organ' rejection

If this were true, then Vampires would die young. But they're immortal. Thus this theory holds no water.
I should like, totally do science for a living.
Good stuff. Is YouTube broken again?
correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't S K and G sell Dreamworks to Paramount some considerable time ago?

You do know what a question mark means, don't you?

And I thought at the time, this can't be especially good for my health.
Should I start the litigation now?
...or is this a massive security risk?
From what I can tell, you are esentially giving him your uTorrent login info.

Which to be honest, I've always known anyway.
Sorry, buggered those URLs with trailing slashes: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3505414.stm http://people.ku.edu/~jbrown/ecoli.html
These bacteria stories have been floating around for ages. Indeed there is one from 2004 here, on the BBC News site: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3505414.stm/
My problem with this is that it doesn't matter how many millions of bacteria there are on anything you touch, its the kind of bacteria they are. For example, I'm certain dishcloths and kitchen utensils contain bundles of bacteria, as long as they aren't harmful, I'm not too bothered.
Here is a nice little thing about why E. Coli is both essential to humans, and deadly too: http://people.ku.edu/~jbrown/ecoli.html/

I have Lexa Doig for my sci-fi sex interest
They already failed with WMA thanks to iPod.
Except that all the other music stores in the world that aren't iTMS are using WMA. With the exception of Real, who are using AAC. Although God knows why, given that Apple are too monopolistic to allow them access to the iPod hardware.

Actually, I've already paid for Rome, because it was part funded by the BBC and I pay £126 a year to the BBC.
So if I want to watch it a few months early, surely thats not hurting anyone.
I don't, because I haven't actually heard a good review of the show yet.
"Bugging" you is not the same as making you pay though is it. They HAVE to enfoce the licence fee, its their bread and butter after all.
Also, collection issues are really the fault of Capita so really its them who need their arses kicked.
Well they do suggest you preview before hitting 'post'...
Did you actually read the story at all?
"The developer likewise announced that Microsoft would be releasing updates for Office 2000, XP, and 2003 to read and write the new formats when the new version of Office is released."
There have always been cross-format converters available when new formats are announced.
I mean, why not? If the pr0n sites want to identify themselves as porn, then surely thats good if you are trying to avoid that sort of thing.
.com domains and any other you care to mention.
Of course, there will always be porn
Maybe I just rubbished my own point!
