Re: Out of the box
I tried it, random lock ups with my SSD Raid OS Drive
After half a day or so digging around, for reasons, Microsoft tried to blame my choice of hardware
Windows 7 works fine
Let's launch a neodymium magnet satellite built with thrusters which are designed to guide it (and anything stuck to it) into the atmosphere in 2 years time.
Bagsy it lands in my back garden so I can claim the scrap
it was channeling the spirit of a Vel Satis
oh no, there's this really dangerous thing that's in a place you didn't think of
And the thing you thought was dangerous isn't
We can help you fix that and only for a medium amount of money

I wrote to my MP outlining why it's a ridiculous piece for the government to be cocking about with
(I even persisted in the consultation piece even though it was a disaster)
I got a 'won't someone think of the children' reply, seems to be the common response in all things from this government, how could anyone possibly not want to protect children from nasty things.
In other news I saw a report about a parent having to skip meals just so they could put a bowl of soup in front of their child due to cost of living overtaking salaries
Won't someone think of the children
Fucking government is the shits
20 grand for a cardboard box with a potato in it

punch card...

3D added nothing but a headache
willing to bet
that something as simple as dialectizer breaks this let alone getting technical
If I was a corrie fan
I'd be happy to drop £5 into an online wallet at ITV and then burn though it against PPV as long as me fiver didn't expire and that I knew there was more stuff in the pipeline soon
Yeah, make sure they feature match the rest of the list as well

ICO
The ICO has an implementation of this live right now
www.ico.gov.uk
See how nice it looks? /sarcasm
See how it fails gracefully when you click Continue without ticking the box /sarcasm
I like a bit of sarcasm
i think the ICO are doing us a favour by showing how crud it is, shame they dont sell stuff or carry advertising
Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start

Another load of crap from people who are clueless
Puts netcard into promiscuous mode, goes to jail
Makes website drop a cookie, goes to jail
Does a cartoon of a tiger and a laaaydeeey, goes to jail
I hope someone, somewhere is writing a list

Write to your MP suggesting they stop listening to these nutters

I was lost
The Hasty Pudding Cipher ?
wtf is an HPC ?
tbh, tl;dr
Did he just crawl the sitemaps?
wow, impressive ... erm... wait... no...

First rule of Stoneghost, don't talk about Stoneghost
It's blatantly obvious
that any mechanism that can be implimented will immediately be bypassed by 14 year old boys in their bedroom on a PC that their parents think is 'safe'.
The knowledge of how to (offshore VPN a connection) will immediately be shared and passed around to lots and lots of other 14 year old and younger and the whole mechanism will be rendered redundant withing 2 weeks.
The only people left being filtered will be the parents, who should have known better in the first place
I'd suggest contracting a VPN in the Ukraine, or using Tor
People who think this kind of filtering is a good idea are damning themselves to having to learn about stuff they've got no hope of understanding if they think they can stop little Johnny from looking at porn with ISP filtering
some...
might say that the ICO are toothless and that the fine is tiny and inconsistent to the crime committed
Others might think that by not wringing the parasite dry there might be some cash in the assets which will be distributed amongst the wasted costs claimants which Judge Birss has opened the way for
Well...

fsck the title
This is gonna be awesome

it's because no one actually wants 3D?
May be they realise it's just a fad pushed by tech corps as 'the next big thing'
May be
just saying like
Well,
this can only end well
ah,
I was wondering if it was the same one, is it the same one as they broke on that awful The One Show as well?
okaaaay,
If ever there was a time when the phrase 'cutting edge' should be avoided, this was it.
hmmmm
Hope they're backing it up somewhere
RM Machines
ah, the 380z ... Have RM updated anything since then?
errmmm
I don't like it when you draw the mouse down from the searchbox (where you left it to do some typing) and mouseover the related searches (by accident) changing the list of products you were heading for.
gakk
I'm 12 years old and what is this?
brilliant
Rampack wobble

it'll never catch on
When will Gaikai be able to offer games to everyone, everywhere?
Gaikai's business model may be different than what you'd expect. We're not trying to offer a subscription-based service, so there's no expectation that everyone will be able to play from day one. Instead, we're powering demos of games on publisher, retailer, and associate sites. These demos will only be offered to users who meet the standards required for an awesome gaming experience. Users who don't meet these standards will never know they missed anything ... but they will help us understand where we need to add servers next. Over time, we'll be able to serve more and more demos to more and more users, across the world.
Yeah, sounds like a winner
