  1. BOMB! PLANES! OSAMA! on UK Outlines Plan For Internet Black Boxes · · Score: 1

    As a test to show how good the Black Box system is, let's see how long it takes for my house to be raided by the secret service.

    Did "God" vote?

  4. Re:Same old same old... on In UK, 12M Taxpayers Lost With USB Stick · · Score: 1

    Mail, Express, The Sun etc. Whatever gets printed in one gets re-printed in another. And then it finds its way on the news. Then there's a debate about it, an MP wades in, followed by another, etc etc etc etc.......

    I'm not sure what part of the UK you live in. But in the part I live in, kids don't seem to get stabbed every week. And if a memory stick has gone missing, luckily it's not affected me personally.

    Strangely, things in my part of the UK aren't that bad. Sure there are problems, but there's problems everywhere, in every country.

    It doesn't seem so bad when you don't read the daily mail.

  6. All night tube on London Is Still World's Wi-Fi Access Point Capital · · Score: 1

    London's Underground network can't run all night. It's closed during the night for essential works. It only has one set of tracks, unlike the NYC subway which has two (so when one closes, the other can be used).

    If it were being built today, no doubt they'd dig two tunnels, but unfortunately the network is over 100 years old and they didn't think of that back then.

  7. Re:It's always been required... on Passport Required To Buy Mobile Phones In the UK · · Score: 2, Interesting

  8. Re:Drat you Steve! on Users Rage Over Missing FireWire On New MacBooks · · Score: 1

    I've never used Target Disk Mode myself, but I did read about ImageBoot, which will apparently be a feature of OS X Snow Leopard, when it eventually comes out.

    4th paragraph down, linky below.
    Does this help at all?

  9. Re:Noone likes DRM on Bad Signs For Blu-ray · · Score: 1

    My S350 loaded Spiderman 3 in 15 seconds.

    I still think that's painfully slow though. The DVD plays almost right away.

  10. Re:Noone likes DRM on Bad Signs For Blu-ray · · Score: 1

    Even most people with high definition TVs don't see much real benefit from Blu-ray over properly upscaled DVD playback, either.

    I missed the survey where most people said that. I wasn't surveyed, but if I was I'd be the the minority who can see the difference.

  11. I didn't RTFA on Today Is International Talk Like a Pirate Day! · · Score: 1

  14. Lawsuit? on UK Mobile Operator O2 Leaks MMS Photos · · Score: 1

    Dude, please, we're in the UK. We don't sue people when things like this happen. We moan about it for awhile, form our opinion based on a tabloid newspaper article, then we go and drink tea and forget about it all.

  15. Foreign sites? on Man Fired When Laptop Malware Downloaded Porn · · Score: 1, Funny
