  1. Yes they do.

    If you want to know more about their products, just Google it....

  2. Re:With a RTG, it couldn't have got to the comet. on What Would Have Happened If Philae Were Nuclear Powered? · · Score: 1

    Please forgive my ignorance because you clearly are making a really good point but surely RTGs would also weigh very little in space?

  3. Re:Wouldn't it suffer eminent heat death? on What Would Have Happened If Philae Were Nuclear Powered? · · Score: 1

    ...and all this time I thought I was doing nuclear stuff then it turns out I was just the friggin' tea boy.

  4. I had to stop listening to the video on GNOME 3.14 Released · · Score: 1

    Guys, I'm going to be totally honest with you here.

    I love GNOME, I use two huge screens in a multi-workspace, multi-tasking environment and it suits how I work perfectly. So I really am pleased to see all the hard work going into GNOME.

    But if the person on that video is considered to be correctly pronouncing it as 'Guh - NOME', I'm going to have to stop using it out of sheer principle...

  5. Just Google? on Canadian Court Orders Google To Remove Websites From Its Global Index · · Score: 1

  6. Just Google? on Canadian Court Orders Google To Remove Websites From Its Global Index · · Score: 1

    <tt>I know that a lot of people making these legal decisions might not be the most technical but surely they realise that Google is not the only search engine and that removing something from one search provider's index does not make the information magically disappear.<br><br>Since this is not the first request (and you can guarantee it won't be the last either), does anyone else find it a bit suspicious that many of them appear to be singling Google out? I have seen the odd report where Bing (Microsoft) and Yahoo have been presented with similar take down orders but it doesn't appear to be on the same scale.</tt>

  7. This must be pretty serious on Why Is Broadband More Expensive In the US Than Elsewhere? · · Score: 1

    I had to scroll for ages before I found a funny comment....

  8. Re:filtering. on Snowden Claims That NSA Collaborated With Israel To Write Stuxnet Virus · · Score: 2

    Cool, they could return that email I lost...

  9. Fighting the good fight on Google Aims To Cull Child Porn By Algorithm, Not Human Review · · Score: 1

    I think we should be praising and supporting any organisation that is trying to protect innocent children from being subjected to this. We should not only lobby governments and organisations to do more to stop the practice and bring these people to justice but also praying for the poor children that are at the centre of this.

    Also, spare a thought for the poor Google employees who are going to have to test this algorithm. I sincerely hope that Google ensure that these people are given any support and counselling they might need.

  10. Clearly we remove the comments before entering... on The Underhanded C Contest Is Back · · Score: 5, Funny

    #include<stdio.h>
    #include<process.h>

    main()
    {
        /* Distract Judges */
        printf("Is that a free beer stand behind you?");

        /* Launch our evil masterpiece */
        exec("", "", NULL); /* TODO: Find out the command to start Windows 8... */
    }

  11. Well done for listening on GNOME 3.8 Released Featuring New "Classic" Mode · · Score: 2

    I should say straight away that I will not be using classic mode because quite frankly, I like Gnome Shell as it is. I get on with it really well and running a pair of screens with it suits my needs brilliantly. We are all very aware however that many people have not taken to the new interface and putting something in place that helps those people to continue to use Gnome in a way they prefer is surely a good thing.
