The BBC have shovelled a HUGE quantity of money into iPlayer. That spending has to be justified, which means it will stay largely as it is for at least the next five years.
Do remember that for every Watchmen project, Gibbon gets paid twice, both his share and the writer's. I'm sure he's happy about anything that has the name Watchmen...
That's an awful car analogy, let's try something more sensible.
It's like teaching someone only how to drive an automatic. They'll never have a problem getting a car, but they'll be hopelessly lost if they ever get into a manual.
No... a 100kW laser powered by a 75kW source would be 125% efficient. This thing is going to need 500kW. It would probably work on a a large tank or a ship, but I see no reason why you'd want to.
Well, I'd want to, but that's just because lasers are cool, and natoinal defence isn't my job.
*sigh*, just another sign of how ridiculous this country is right now. I'm going to be voting for the conservatives because the labour party is too right wing...
It's a shame our three party system is currently right wing, more right wing, and retards. (I'm a liberal at heart, but christ, have you seent the libdems policies?)
The story isn't about russia 'advancing' to the wonderful world of open source. It's simply that they're broke, and are no longer paying for schools' IT budgets.
I don't think funding your country's education makes you a 'technology backwater'.
What? They're not taking control of a market, the education department is simply just no longer buying software for itself. It's a cost cutting measure, not nationalisation.
They're not stopping anyone else from buying software, and I imagine private schools will continue to use microsoft software.

Let's be honest, Russia's claims of georgian 'genocide' were about as accurate as western europe's claims of serbian ethnic cleansing in kosovo...
Just standard NATO and russia taking political potshots at eachother by getting involved in someone else's civil war.
Hah, I don't think you understand bureaucracy.

probably the mac version
Please don't use terms you don't understand.
India is not a communist country, or under the political influence of the soviet union. Therefore it is not a "second world country".
The term 'developing country' was made up to replace 'third world' after the collapse of the soviet union made the first second third system obsolete.
yup, nothing like a nice game of gaelic football.
This isn't the government. The IWF is a private organisation that ISPs voluntarily sign up to.
In my opinion, this is even worse, as there is NO review process, and noone ot be held accountable for mistakes.
Put labels on them and keep them in a credit card pocket of your wallet.
This is seriously not a difficult enough problem to warrant a /. story..
"prices as low as 69c" means 10% at that price, the majority of selling tracks at $2.50
There'll be plenty to whine about.
I did far far less than 52 hours of homework a year.
Thinking about it, there may be a reason I failed high school..
Well, at least it's a nice hotel.

And most of them are connected to the same city, where one ship can drag its anchor across all of them at once.
I know you're not being serious, but Virgin don't own Virgin Media anyway, NTL just license the brand name.
Because of course, NO OTHER VEHICLE THAN A BOAT ever travels "over the earth's surface".
The actual reason is for navigation by the sky, so you can use a sextant without even more maths.
No, that would be slander; libel is in print.
It's not libel unless she tells other people; this was a letter she sent to him, which he then put up on the internet.

LSD, pot, Linux... ah, those crazy college days!
Obviously she went to Berkley ;)
Uh, I'm on Virgin Media and it loads fine.
Is this only on the ex-NTL network or something?

I'd hazard a guess that it has far more to do with the fact that dolphins are mammals, and sharks are fish.
The most worrying thing is that enough people got the joke to mod him 5, Funny.
