What would be even more hilarious would be the Chinese and Russian response. Then we'd be rid of the self-appointed world poli^H^H^H bully once and for all.
Seriously I would expect some very strong diplomatic objections.... together with sighs of relief.
Wouldn't it be hilarious if some passenger planes flew into some large office blocks in the only country which has ever used nuclear weapons, what a hoot!
"...not only vibrates like existing devices, but pulls and stretches the thumb tips in different directions to simulate..."
what kind of games are these guys playing?
And if it is only their thumbs they are putting in the controller.
And people are afraid of Iran creating nuclear weapons when we should also be very afraid about the US for creating such devestating devices (and especially a country which still creates nuclear devices and have proven to actually use them (and made a LOT of innocent victums (by direct hit, and later due to the radiation) with that action which wasn't even necessary to begin with)..
I'm not for Iran having nuclear weapons (far from it), but if other countries (like the US, France and israel) still are making/having them, then I must admit that Iran has just as much right for having them as the countries telling them they cannot. Those countries are just a bunch of hypocrits when it comes to such things..
The problem is at Iran is an Islamic country, which has stated that one of its aims is the destruction of Israel, America, and many other Western countries. Many muslims would see a counterstrike against them not as a deterrent but a bonus - the whole country become martyrs. Just think of Muzzies with nuclear weapons instead of planes to fly into our buildings or backpacks to set off in our underground stations.
It could be that key information or steps are missing
Entire exams have been ruined by incorrect questions. Apparently, reading and writing is not a hard requirement for being a mathematician.
It has alaways been like that. I can remember back in the 70s we were given a previous year's GCE A-level paper for homework. There was one question that we all decided was impossible. The teacher agreed, but we had one genius in the class (who later got a full scholarship to Cambridge) who said "Sir there is a solution in terms of sets using number theory" and then wrote some stuff up that none of us understood.
In the USA, it requires a significant number of states to agree to the amendment (don't know how many).
I don't know about the UK, but in Sweden, a change to our "constitution" (Grundlag) only requires two successive governments, with an election in between, to approve the change..
In the UK they can just change it. Want to change the house of Lords... just pass a bill. Want to change to fixed term elections... just a bill. Want to abolish elections altogether because we all love "mein Führer"... well our supposed safeguard is that the monarch will refuse consent to the bill... but promise them a few more powers and who knows.
Really despite them teaching us that we have an unwritten constitution the truth is we haven't got a constitution, and we are always potentially one election away from losing democracy.
Very impressive, though I can't help thinking its a vanity project and broadcasting from a number of smaller towers would be cheaper. I suppose that probably goes for all the world's ultra tall buildings though
Got the two locales from a quick search for city--city distances --- unfortunately Penzance to Berwick didn't show up. The extra 140 miles doesn't change my argument, and even doubling it doesn't alter it that much (800 miles is still w/in what I've personally done in a day).
The furthest I've done is London to Kyle of lochalsh, which is just under 600 miles. I way underestimated how small the roads in Scotland were - I thought it would be a 12 hour drive but it was nearer 20. This sort of extra long trip doesn't reflect on most people's normal commuter trips though, evidently the average distance to work is 12 miles (one way).
I wouldn't mind if some pumps started showing "country of origin" like for other consumables we buy. And I wouldn't mind paying a premium for North Sea oil to support the countries of origin.
I wouldn't mind betting they'd all say "produce of more than one country". A bit like the budget brand raisins.
How often do you need to drive from Dundee, Scotland to Poole, England?
646 km seems to be about as far as one can drive in the UK --- that's just 400 miles
Rubbish, you can do 540 miles in England. If you live in Inverness, Scotland you are over 200 miles further North than that, and in a fairly sparsely populated area. If you live right in the North of Scotland, like Durness that is another 120 miles of tiny little roads which will take you about four hours to drive - though not many people do. Of curse most people would fly from Dundee to Pool, just as most people would fly from New York to Houston.
Even assuming that you manage to travel at highway speeds for your entire commute, that's about an hour and a quarter of your life spent each day just getting to and from work.

All 3 remaining Linux users will be thrilled I'm sure.
Meanwhile the rest of us will be using our new iPads and Macbook air's to do *real work*.
Losers.
If you call looking at gay porn real work that is....
Yeah, started as a quick joke, but grew in to an Uncyclopedia article. I'm going to sit down with a cup of tea.
Seriously, its worth posting there!

Silence from the Muslim quarter please
All you need to create a good programming language is a beard. The more epic the beard, the better your language will be
I personally look forward to the zombie Muhammad programming language
Wouldn't it be funny ... if they all accidentally landed on Iran's nuclear sites.
Can't be bothered with BS like this. Do you realize who may be in control of internet policy a year from now?
Who? The Bavarian Illuminati?
There's difference between an anecdote and a scientific study.
Do you have the statistics to back that up?
I'm tired of hearing about Raspberry Pi. Really sick of it.
Like Homer Simpson, I'll never grow sick of Raspberry Pi.

Yeah like fucking Virgin Mobile Australia charging 2c per KB over.. which means you can clock up $thousands in a very short time.
Yes, Virgin Mobile, I am talking about you.
They are the damn pirates.
50MB over = $100. Ouch. For a lousy $600 phone on a $40 per month plan. You go over.. you PAY.. bend over boy.
My first over the cap bill was $5500. You can't kill me. Wife already tried and damn near succeeded.
When she asked you why you used so much data It was probably a mistake to tell her how much better the porn movies are in HD.

Imagine if they used their technology for good. Like to protect people from earthquakes ... oh wait!
Although Waffen SS did include camp guards ....
its all that black leather and tight trousers

1) Commit a crime
2) write a story about it
3) sue all witnessed of copyright infringement
4) profit

I know it needs to be strong enough for earthquakes but the design looks a bit dated.
haven't you heard, retro is the new modern.

you must build... an ark, with two of every device
I've heard that one of each Apple device will do.

i don't know, Epcot to the magic kingdom has a nice monorail

Unless he's German.
