Is this even a search engine? I typed in something and pressed search and after a stupidly long time it loaded up something that looks terrible and didn't "fit" right, the search bar is cut off before the end with the search clicker so it looks terrible. Worse than that for a "search engine" is I typed in something to search and I have no idea where the results are... since i'm not blind and have looked everywhere I could think they would be I'll assume it hates me or is the worse designed peice of **** I've ever tried to use. It has genuinly made me angry. Google.ig, which has loads of RSS readers and what have you on it works quickly and effectively... and I'm not even a fan boy for google... hell, I was even considering using MS live search if it was good. it is not.
...was that they changed the cat emoticon on msn messenger, back in the day typing in (@) would make a nice old school looking cat which had a good retro feel, now (@) looks all "new" and crap... I tried to use an older version but it said that it could no longer be used... d'oh, forced upgrades...
how can they know that the records won't be forced to be released in the US... I think it'd be best to go somewhere like switzerland, then it'd be safe, no one ever asks questions there
It seems to have the same properties to custard powder, so it you want to know what its like you can play with it yourself... it does sound like a more practicle set up though, also if it could stop a bullet it would be useful to put under body armour (and could go over the head)... the only problem is the impact which would break all the bones in that area... hmm, could even be worse than a through and through...
anywho, about the custard, if you mix custard powder with water (I'm not sure of exact quantities) you can make a substance which is liquid and you can move your hand through but if you puntch it it'll go hard and your hand won't be able to get through it... you can also make it into a ball and then hold it in your hand and watch it melt... tis cool.
Isn't the idea of evil a religious concept, which cannot be proven, therefore under your own scheme it is infact "stupid"... whilst on the whole people who are against stem cell research might be misinformed (and I happen to think its a very good idea) their oppinions should be challenged with rational ideas, and education, thats how youwin an arguement, not just by saying people are wrong.
It isn't anit-capitalist (at least in my view of what that means).
In a capitalist society a company should have no shame, they should do whatever they can to make profits regardless of the costs to anything, however it is the governments job to stop companies from doing things we see as "evil", and through a system of fines or other methods make it not rational to do because of the cost. Basically everyone should act in only their best interest, and it should be in the Government's interest to keep people happy and safe across the world... I know i'm being normative... I'd never really happen like that, its just how I think it should
One interesting section I saw was when Yahoo was being quizzed about handing over information to the Chinese Government about a Blogger. They were asked if they would have done the same if the Nazi's asked them the location of Anne frank. Its good that people are drawing paralels on these areas, they are very similar but I think it helps people to think about it more deaply than they might have done. The Nazi state is something people understand and have seen a lot about, China is similar but a lot of what you get taught about it in school is about Mao and later leaders, all told in a possitive way, and less about areesting people who want democracy
Its the legend of zelda: occarina of time and Majora's mask
I recently completed Occarina of time again and its as good today as it was all those years ago. Easily the best games I've ever played and truely defining moments in me growing up.
unfortunately (or not depending on the law) the House of Commons has the suprime authority over all issues and can use the Parliament Act of 1947 to push a law through that the Lords reject after 3 tries to get it through regularly. the system is different in this respect; the house of representatives can't over-rule the Senate.
Still if you think thats a bad system the Prime Minister could pass the law overnight, all he'd need is to get the Privy Council (which is made up of cabinet ministers - some past and present - and a few others) to agree and then the Queen to sign it (still the Queen can refuse to sign any law and then it doesn't become law - a power which hasn't been used since queen Anne - but still exists). Then it'd be law tomorrow... and the best thing is we don't need to worry about the seperation of powers or people's rights... oh, wait...
Not being from America I have no idea how your tax system works... do you have to pay taxes on all winnings? at what rate would you pay it? and who decides how much a prize is woth (is it its cost price or market value if it were new in a shop - and if so what shop)?
Will you introduce a system of editors to moderate what people are saying? With how easy it is at the moment to put anything up regardless of its truth this might be a good way of avoiding possible law suits/ spreading of false info.
The japaneese have done a lot with inovation in games, they also make interesting game which challenge you in different ways, and sometimes they just push the envolope in weird.
Electroplankton for the DS seems really inovative and i'm looking forward to being able to buy it, its nice to see an inovative take on something like that, using the microphone and it being a game where you don't have to go through levels, its more just for fun, no begining, no end, just fun.
Spyware will start to fall off (or become more secretive and worse) because everyone now has a copy of spybot or adaware or whatever, even my mum does (and she still uses IE 6 because she doen't trust anything else)... When people start to find them quicker they can do less, and if they can do less people will make less money out of them, so it'll fall a bit, also I've stopped going on porn, so thats 500000 less peices of spyware on my computer each week, meaning the distrobution is falling
are they not already small enough; I have one in my card and its the same size as any other credit card. I alwyas like to see people pushing the realms of what is possible but haven't we already reached a situation when its already "small enough"... not to mention the fact that now they are so small I'll not know where to put the tinfoil... dam it, the tinfoil could even have RFID in it:O...
I think there is always a desire to go beyond what was put down in the first place. The advantages mentioned above are obviously postives, although i was supprised that they didn't mention the fact that it can make a game go forever, when you keep people coming back you can make more money on the game but also you give the players more as it continues and grows beyond the original "levels"...
I also like the idea of being able to set up a theatre group, and I'm reminded of when a Chineese girl died playing one of the games they held a vidgil for her centred round an ingame church, it was nice... in a slightly weird way...
well you seem to be putting a lot of faith in the "security" of the database, I'm reminded of those 35,000 or so patient records which were stolen from an employees car which were supposed to be being held "securely"... at least if someone robs your card they only get one person's data... alhtough it'll probably have a coresponding database anyway, in which case they are just creating more potential problems
an atricle here: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/02/03/clumsy_id_ card_study/ on the subject of Uk ID cards, it seems like they might not be that useful for stopping theft... I still think that they are useful for stopping low level crime if they are linked to a national register of fingerprints and DNA, although in this example it seems to only be the prints.
well, it is certainly more portable and better looking than your average tower. I think that there could well be a market for these things, in all different types of bottles or shaped glass cases... If you wanted to go all out you could put a plasma screan on the side... set it to show the original label as a screan saver if you want to go all out...
I'm glad that they are doing something like this, in the UK people have been estimating that "in the city" only around 50% of companies are anything like prepaired for an attack of this nature, hopefully this will show people what needs to be done...
I hope no real attacks take place during this time though...
it could well help avoid fatalities in road chases, the police can then hang back and not push too hard on the person they are chasing, this should help take some of the tension out and reduce the risk of the criminals trying something stupid and killing people, police helicopters can then be called in to keep track and the people in the car can be arrested when it stops (or if the tyres are blown out in a safe place)
It's good to see them looking into non-destructive ways of doing this, traditionally if you wanted a 3D image of a fosil you'd have to take out a hammer and try and get it out that way, whilst this isn't too much of a problem in most circumstances; it can be in some. This will help on earth when we have a chance of a rare fosil that we can't risk damaging, enabling us to get a good look before we try anything dangerous, or on mars where fosils might be increasingly fragile or hard to detect.

You make a good point, and to quote futurama...
"have you ever tried just sitting down with your kids.... and hitting them?"
No, it said "how to serve FOR man".... there must have been some space dust on the book when you looked... crazy

Ah yes, I remember my grandad telling me about when he was a young lad, reading Dante's divine comedy...
