  1. Re:Elite.. on Shadowbane Now Free As In Beer · · Score: 1

    I dont think planeshift will ever make it out of beta. I remember seeing an elite based game, with space trading, etc, but also the ability to walk around the space stations, but I really cant remember what it was called. Certainly if none of us can remember it, it probably doesnt exist anymore. Real shame.

  2. Elite.. on Shadowbane Now Free As In Beer · · Score: 1

    Are there any other MMOPG (i know this is off topic a little) that are like elite (other than eve online), and that are preferably free? I was told once that there was one, open source too, yet never found it! nevermind

  3. As well noted. on UK Demands Sourcecode for Strike Fighters · · Score: 2, Funny

    As well noted the US has a history of thieving other countries technology on the pretence that they're going to "share" the result. If I remember rightly (although I cant find any information to back this up) they asked to see alot of our development files on the Eurofighter, saw what brillient research we had done, and stole it to produce parts of the F22. Still if they share the source code on this maybe things will change. I wonder what its written in anyway!

  4. Re:Um on Ubuntu Linux Eyes Gadget Apps · · Score: 1

    Whose maria? is she fit? Surely a video camera would work just as well, oh low and behold, a text book. Seeing a dolphin on a PC monitor is not going to be _THAT_ amazing to a bunch of kids that havent seen one before.

  5. I'm sorry, what about the US??? on Standby Electronics a Waste? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Excuse me? are the entire UK the only people wasting electricity this way?? what about THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF THE US?

  7. right...so thats were my money goes.. on UK Record Companies Suing File Sharers · · Score: 1

    ok... so instead of sorting out crime... like the bastards that stole my car stereo, OR LIKE RANDOM BOMBERS... they're going to travel around prosecuting the more legal amoung us that can afford to own a computer sort your life out UK legal system, please dont become another America. At least democracy is still intact here.

  8. Re:It doesnt matter.... on 'Operation Site Down' Closes 8 Warez Servers · · Score: 3, Funny

  9. Re:Unintended side effect on 'Operation Site Down' Closes 8 Warez Servers · · Score: 1

    Just check your email.. If you dont get any I can send some to you... lol

  10. It doesnt matter.... on 'Operation Site Down' Closes 8 Warez Servers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It still doesnt matter. Everyone is still going to do it. Like shutting down napster... like that was going to change anything! Someone just developed a method to get round the law.

  11. wish I had an ipod on CNN Interviews with Harlan Ellison, Bruce Sterling · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I wish I had an ipod.... so i could listen to podcasts.

  12. Old News.... on School-Lunch Monitoring System for Parents · · Score: 1

    We've had something like this at a few schools in the uk for ages now. At one girls school I used to visit they had cards that monitored their meals, due to problems with anarexia, miss a couple of meals in a row...bam...visit from the doctor. To be honest though, you Americans need this more than anyone else..

  13. I hope so. on Oracle and Mozilla Foundation Work Quietly Together · · Score: 1

    I've had to live with outlook long enough! oh.. whats that.... I'm timing out but i'm not going to tell you..... and i'm going to freeze so you loose all your email you were just writing.. rubbish hurry up moz and oracle!

  14. Re:Hey, that should be the new OSS slogan on Build Your Own Linux Home Theater PC · · Score: 1

    so true.. so true.. Its the variable names I'd be worried about, lets just hope the client doesnt see our code... $pimp + $hoes = $bling; debugging that in the morning wont be fun.

  15. Re:Get an xbox and mod it on Build Your Own Linux Home Theater PC · · Score: 1

    agreed.. but you wont be able to record tv... although, XMBC is amazing. V useful with the official xbox remote. I hardly ever use my pc to play back movies anymore. (appart from the media center pc)

  16. Re:Hey, that should be the new OSS slogan on Build Your Own Linux Home Theater PC · · Score: 0

    lol. It should be... except in the morning when you try to read your code. Good luck with that.

  17. This looks good on Build Your Own Linux Home Theater PC · · Score: 5, Informative

    I've been running media centre pc 2005 on our plasma screen for a while now... and although its good at tv, its complete rubbish when it comes to web interfaces, remote control and most of all the music library! It can take over 5 minutes to load, and there no option to organise on directories instead of media tags!

  18. So they could only afford Troi then? on Enterprise Finale Airing Tonight · · Score: 0

    So they could only afford Troi and Riker then. Better luck next time. Maybe the Nazis or will make an appearence.
