For sale: One des res nuclear bunker

Ben Rosenthal
Terminator

flaw in your plan

as amusing as the latter part of the pan is, the actual method of surviving the nuclear firestorm sans bunker seems a bit sketchy.

and you've make no mention at all on dealing with the HK units that would surely follow :D

New cig peril: Third-hand smoke coats puffers in poison

Ben Rosenthal

been quit....

..since November.

But the first sign of turning into a whiny, sanctimonious, rubbish spouting non smoker will see me take it up again......I'd rather get cancer than sound like them.

Hopefully by then we'll also have sensible laws on assisted suicide.

You really think I'm going to break contract almost a year early for a software update then you are severely mistaken!

leave 'em alone I say!

rather see them engaging members of the community than tasing, shooting or kettling them.

Police management really really stink at PR!

This is what the public want to an extent, police being visible and present in thier communities, looking out for the public interest rather than the companies and organisations that made the right political donations.

Survey outs Britain as nation of tech twits

Ben Rosenthal

so

89% of us know at least one social networking site, that seems pretty switched on for the general Joe public tbh.

The other information expected of them, tells me more about the people asking the questions than those that answered (out of touch bunch of hypergeeks that actually put importance in obscure acronyms and trendy buzzwords).

all I want for Christmas

is a government more interested in running the country, and less obsessed with trying to run me.

NHS targets, dangerous roads and a lifetime at war with the east.....those are real issues, not what some tosser from Manchester shoves up his beak at the weekend in the privacy of his home >.<

Sony plots death of Amazon Kindle

Ben Rosenthal

torrent sites?

eww, that's like so late 90's :p

don't most modern books start off in a digital format, before they ever get near to a piece of dried wood pulp these days?

I'm as shocked as the next guy about how much I've agreed with in this statement from Sony, maybe there are not totally beyond hope after all!

Android 2.0: what to expect

Ben Rosenthal

some people

seem to get confused about which is which when it comes to whether certain functions and configurations are down to google Android or down to the phone manufacturers own preference.

has anyone mentioned to them that if they do this, they will then be photographed by the police forward intelligence teams and kept on file as a potential trouble causer to be stopped and searched as and when the local plod see fit?

@ stabbed by chavs

well it's lucky we don't have your insane lack of gun control or we'd be getting shot by them too.

How dumb are you pro gun people that you will spout this rubbish in the comments of a story, where an American version of a chav poses with a gun that he used to rob someone?!?

and are you really suggesting that in the event of problem with a member of the local constabulary, that I should pull a gun on them?!?!

Good luck with that!

forget the metal detector

grab the proper star trek tri corder, you will bloody love it.

Yeah Android can do all the things listed by bygjohn using FREE apps off the marketplace (except Bloom, however I'm sure someone will get round to knocking at least a conversion out soon enough).

The you get onto stuff like proxoid which I don't think has an Apple equivalent (use your phones net access from your PC/laptop without having to get dodgy root permissions or anything contract breaking).

Oh and we've been playing Doom and it's sequels on it for ages.

The most recent update has now convinced me I can sing it's praises and it probably wont freeze up just when I go to show it off :D

Basically, if you read the Reg, you should be trying one out. Even if you previously loved the fruit vendors wares.

I freely admit

I know pretty much bugger all about the theory behind all this, but best of luck to him.

Many times in history a massive advance is ushered in by a brilliant crackpot like this that won't accept the text books. Maybe this is one of those times, maybe not, maybe all it needs is a really, extremely hot cup of tea!
