  1. Re:Physical security? on British Military Deploys Skynet · · Score: 1

    Surely it's much better for it to get shot down than hacked/eavesdropped upon. Expensive, though.

  2. Why? on 256GB Geometrically Encoded Paper Storage Device · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't work, really should it? I mean it's all very well saying 'ooh we can get an infinite number of different curves in this finite area', but at the end of the day, you're going to be limited by the resolution of the scanner or printer. But for a given resolution, you can store the most data by drawing arrays of coloured dots (the curves surely have redundant data in them). Which isn't a very novel idea, at all. Maybe I'm wrong. Besides, think of the trees.

  3. No on London Police Equipped With 360-Degree Cams · · Score: 1

    They won't, if they extend the existing standards. That is to say, cops in the UK have notepads with numbered pages, so they can't tear them out to withold evidence or change their account... Well, not so easily, anyway.

  4. Re:if only... on Ballmer Sounds Off · · Score: 5, Funny

    How about "The Internet" which they kindly link to from the start menu? Remember that it won't fit in the recycle bin...

  5. Re:What is Tesco? on UK's Biggest Supermarket Challenges Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Well, Tesco are generally very good, however, they are sort of, indirectly related to one of the bigger politic scandals we've had here. Read more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirley_Porter But they do cheap and good food etc.

  6. $600 Million? on Suit Blames Videogames for Homicides · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And on what grounds do they think they deserve $200 Million per deceased family member? I don't mean to be a dick, but I don't think that's a reasonable estimate of their value...

  7. In Soviet Russia... on Power Suit Promises Super-Human Strength · · Score: 1

    In Soviet Russia, robot wears a stupid man suit!

  8. Re:Propaganda? on Hezbollah Hacked Israeli Military Radio · · Score: 1

    >Just because it's on the internet, doesn't make it true. WHAT? You mean the nice widow from Nigeria ISN'T going to give me $6 million (SIX MILLION DOLLARS)?

  9. Re:MPAA/RIAA press release on The Pirate Bay Is Back Online · · Score: 5, Funny

    "The MPAA has a multi-pronged approach to fighting Internet piracy, which include educating people about the consequences of piracy" Is this going to be the old-school 'piracy == terrorism' line? I hope not; I'm look for a more SouthPark style: 'Here's X's private jet, notice anything? X used to have a Gulfstream 4, but now she's had to sell it and get a Gulfstream 3 because people like you used to download her music for free. The Gulfstream 3 doesn't even have a remote control for its surround sound DVD system. Still think downloading music for free is no big deal?'

  10. Re:Lots of things on Is Silicon Valley Reproducible? · · Score: 1

    Wikipedia seems to have an answer to this - Silicon Fen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Fen/
