Next phase?

I imagine the next phase would be to have an array of satellites around the globe with loads of these puppies in them, ready to load them into a droppod and fire it to whatever location on earth that needs "cleansing".

Whatever next

Things really are becoming a bit silly over the pond these days. If it is not companies having a bitch fight in the courts then it is ridiculous stories like this.

It's a wonder the police have the time to catch or prosecute any real criminals.

Hell, I would wager that a bottle of coke and mentos has more "destructive power" then what she made.

People need to calm the heck down and be reasonable. When I was a kid we used to do things like this all the time without fear of being labeled a terrorist. Yes, times may have changed some, but just because there are bad people out there who want to blow things up it doesn't mean we have to jump out of a skins every time there is a loud bang... and then arrest the offending party for making the loud bang in the first place.

The one point I was say is that she is possibly a bit silly for doing this on school property. Do it off school property and then throw the bottle onto school property if you really must.

I'll get me coat, it's the one with the Anarchists cookbook V1 in the pocket.

Why are police not knocking on this guys door?

Surely posting that constitutes some sort of evidence in a murder case? Unless they don't count such things as worthy of police attention in Malaysia.

But agreed. Pretty f'ing sick bastards whoever watched that and "liked" it.

I call

Shenanigans.

Sounds to me like someone is ramping up to sell "THE ONLY COMPLETE ANTI-VIRUS/MALWARE PACKAGE TO DETECT AND REMOVE THE MAGIC MALWARE!"

I think the only magic trick here is how we are all being fooled into believing this is actually real without any evidence.

Am I missing something here?

If she was really that pissed off with him playing too much xbox then why didn't she just go switch off the electricity to the house/flat? Or just pull the plug?

That is what my wife used to do when she was pissed off at me playing World of Warcraft instead of coming to bed with her. For the record though I stopped playing that years ago when I realised just how much time and money I had wasted on a game I didn't even actually own.

I suppose that is one way

To make sure people don't use personal electronic devices at work.

Heck, I would probably encourage it, just to watch their faces when they are in the middle of tweeting about their lunch or latest bowel movement and the magnet fires up

This assumes the person is contactable

So what if there is no e-mail account on record for said offender? Say I don't have an e-mail account with my ISP package and I never register one with them. Then their automated system has nothing to go from. Then lets say they decide to send the warnings by snail mail.

I turn around after they start suing and state that we have had a problem for years now where mail goes missing, so we never received the first 4 letters. If there is no way to confirm receipt of the warnings then how can they say I ever received them in the first place?

Just seems to me that this idea has a few holes in it before it has even started.

Privacy nightmare

I imagine that the Uni would technically be the owners of said iPads. So how long until they start demanding that the students offer up all their relevant passwords (e-mail, dropbox, apple ID) as they will be expected to support the students and their fondleslabs with the software they need on it.

And then subsequently, how long until the Uni uses picture/video evidence recorded on said Pad showing students taking illegals substances to suspend/expel them?

Or, if you prefer, how long until a Uni tech person gets done for taking copies of someones naked pictures off their pad or for installing software that lets them remotely view the iPads video (installed only on female students tabs natch).

Maybe it's just me

But I always check the privileges of an app before I install and have passed up installing many bits of well rated software because I didn't agree with the privileges it was wanting (why a simple game wants access to my accounts, to check network status and change system settings I will never know).

But failing that Droidwall would hopefully stop anything that managed to slip through the net. So personally I don't see any droid users with half a brain falling for this.... oh wait, we were talking about the Yanks weren't we?

Credit where credit is due?

I see there is no mention of James T Russell. The actual person who first came up with the concept of the CD and created them in the first place.

I can just see it now

User: "The servers are running a bit slow today."

Tech: "Ahh, one of the drives must have sprung a leak,"

User: "Well can't you just fill it up again?"

Tech: "We would, but we used up all the spare helium doing funny impressions last week after the pub."

Farmhouse Granary Loaf/Bap

Now that's the way forward.

Nice succulent bacon on the inside, then some ketchup, melted butter, soft fresh bread and then something crunchy on the crust to keep it all interesting and add some flavour to the whole thing.

You know it makes sense!

Roll up roll up

Yes sir, this new patented system will 100% guarantee to ensure you don't give in to temptations.

Step one is a large burly man walks alongside you wherever you go.

Step two is, if he see's your eyes straying onto things it shouldn't then he punchs you. If you continue to oggle at Bulgarian airbags and the like then he pops you in the other eye. Your eyes swell up and then you can't see anything! Problem solved!

Then when you cannot see anything the burly man helps you not walk into things.

Praise buddah, your soul will be saved!!

That will be £999.99 please.

And if you look at it from the other side

Canis Biz Media...

Wouldn't that just be cartoons and cooking shows?

So glad I stopped playing wow a long time ago

They obviously forgot to recast their firewall buffs!

I have one of each

I have 1 cat that is a Garfield (even looks like him and is as fat), and doesn't do anything more than occasionally bring in a frog to play with in the house. Never kills anything that one.

But then his sister, now she likes to bring in baby birds from our garden. She tried taking on the parent birdies but couldn't do more than hurt it's wing.

Yes, cats are wild animals essentially... but ain't we all. ;-)

Funny

I had the experience of teaching some young IT apprentices last year and helping them get their Comptia A+ certification. When we got to learning command line there was all sorts of grumbles of "why would I ever need to know this?" and "I'm never going to use this, I can do this all in windows.". At the time I never thought that they were going to learn what I considered very basic commands.

Now, a year on the 1 young man who has done quite well for himself has told me that knowing those few simple command lines has helped him to not only do his job, but to progress his learning far beyond that of the certification.

I say use whatever you are comfortable with. Personally I think both have a time and a place. But even now I still make simple little script files to do simple things quickly. Makes my life easier.

But then again I find Exchange 2010 easier to administrate in GUI, even though I know there are certain things I can only do in Powershell.

Just depends on what job you are trying to accomplish and what you feel comfortable with. But restricting yourself to one or the other simply on the fact that a CLI or GUI is what it is, well thats just plain crazy!

But your honour

We are not infringing on their "use your fingers to slide and unlock" patent because we intended people to use their tongues to slide and unlock!

Anon needs to step up

This is the fairly boring standard of Anon these days "ohh, you did something we don't like, lets take down your website!". Seems to me this is their default volley and getting a bit boring.

Now.. if they managed to take down the whole of VM ISP.. now THAT would be a stand worthwhile of notice. As it is I think I along with many others are getting bored of Anon's "protests" as they do nothing except give people who are against this kind of censorship a bad name.

Heavy Metal?

Where the heck was Heavy metal? Perhaps not a rock related movie but with such a rocking soundtrack and a name like Heavy Metal how is it not on the list??

Interesting idea

Although if like me you would program it on keywords such as X-Factor then it would effectively make my tv unusable for part of the year.

But I can see the potential behind this. Imagine going to your mates house and programing it to mute on the word 'and now' or 'the'

I'll get me coat. It's the one with the remote that has the mute button glued down in the pocket

Poor kid

Can't you see he's nuts?!

Shame on that company for singling him out. He's just an impressionable youth who has been corrupted by the rap of today, video games and "ghetto" attitude in movies.....

Nah... actually. I'm with the Captain on this one. I would have given him an atomic Wedgie if I were the arresting police officer. If he isn't going to pull his pants up then someone is going to do it for him!

I have to wonder

Since they are changing the setting and some of the premise then why not just change a few names and the name of the movie? I mean it sounds half decent, I just don't get why they HAVE to call it total recall?

Bin tugging

I have to agree, this sounds like propaganda to me. Pure and simple. However, maybe they were wrong about Mr not bin getting laiden being completely off the grid and all this smut was just the results of pop up ads or malware?

Terrible ad

Just terrible

Although. Not a bad looking bit of kit. Look forward to it being "officially" released into the wild.

Trim the bushes

Can't please everyone. On the one hand you got neighbours being peeping toms to catch a glimpse and on the other ( the side you didn't hear) you got neighbours telling you to trim the bushes so they can see the show too. ;-)

Paris.. cause she knows how to put on a good show.

Bath salts eh?

I once tried sucking back a tube of anti-age wrinkling cream but that didn't do anything... apart from perhaps giving my stomach and digestive tracts the appearance of much younger organs.

The answer is simple

Decriminalize, then regulate. Put health and safety regulations on the growing of it (has to be in an open area, not to close to schools.. blah blah blah). Not to mention the hemp industry could take off meaning less need for other crops and less need for pesticides (as it is generally a more bug resistant plant). Not to mention all the CO2 saved by people having to go pick-up from their dealers as they would either grow it themselves or just go to the local pot shop/pub to get their stashes and if they were growing it themselves there would be more plants soaking up the C02.

Seems a no brainer.

Paris, because she is the queen of no-brainers.

What a bunch of d*cks!

With all this attention in the media they are likely to get big heads!

Stems and Seeds?

Is Mr Bon Jovi somehow suggesting that one would need to be rather high to want to listen to his music? Well... can't argue with that logic really.

F*cking A

Got to love those Danes. They talk a lot of f*cking sense!

I suppose that is one way of getting high

Woah man, I need need to stop smoking this stuff...I just saw drugs flying over my house.

Paris.. cause she knows all about getting high.

One serious cock up

I bet he was wishing he paid heed to his mothers advise to leave his cock alone. Especially when he has played with it so much that it was red and black... not to mention angry.

Paris... for obvious reasons.

Really?

Quick poll of myself and 3 other friends (including my wife who after seeing my new android phone just had to get one) who have android phones and non of them seem to have had these issues.

I will admit that sure my Galaxy S has some problems. The GPS isn't great and sometimes it can be slow to boot, but I keep a lot of media on my phone most of the time as I find it great for watching things on the train to and from work and a lot of that is the media scanner running on boot.

But speaking with my sister, her brother and their friends who all have Iphones they also have niggling issues, not that they like to advertise it. But after a few beers they have admitted they too have the occasional issue with their IPhones.

Just goes to show that no technology is perfect. Android is a perfectly viable alternative to an IPhone and in some aspects better IMO, in some aspects not as good. Overall I prefer Android, but thats partly from annoyance to Igeeks who have for years been IBashing me about how good their apple products were and how much better they were it automatically makes me not want one as I would have to shoot myself if I became like that about anything.

Though this article does read a bit like it was read by a Apple fanboy.

Guess it's that time again

George must want to build that expansion on his house. Either that or he needs another private jet.

Sad thing is that a lot of Fanboys will go watch this just because they have to see if it is as bad as it was the first time round. Me, I'm going to wait for it to come to tv.. you know, cause 3d tv's will be the standard by then.

Apple

We are the keepers of the sacred words: Ni, Ping, and Nee-womm!

Nee-womm coming 2011 as an upgrade on the new IphoneNi. ;-)

And who do you believe

Or perhaps it's more of a case of Iphone users are more willing to "say" they have sex more regularly because in actual fact they are sad, lonely fanboys. Whereas Android users don't give 2 hoots about some report and just tell the truth.
