UK Call Centres?!??!?!?!

VM have UK Call Centres???

Scrap metal

Just send metal theives into orbit, they can scrounge for the scrap metals.

Missed one

...as thick as two short planks...

Why not...

...remake IV, V and VI. It's pretty close to a remake with all the added CGI, etc.

After all Hollywood are remaking films that are not as old as Star Wars.

Customer Support

Dealing with Indian call centres is a pain in the arse.

Companies operating in the UK should be forced to have call centres in the UK and employ people that can speak English clearly.

There are plenty of towns in the UK with high unemployment that the calls centres can be based. At least it will get people back to work and government will get more in taxes.

Storage Media

Looks like the tech companies will have to come up with a new storage media to replace Blu-ray that can put a full extended version on LotR onto 1 disc instead of splitting it over 2 discs.

Licenses Sold

"We recommend folks look at upgrading to Windows 7, which is the fastest selling operating system in history, selling over 400 million licences to date," wrote LeBlanc.

There is a difference between licenses sold and licenses in use.

Does this figure include OEMs who's computers are still in the showroom waiting to be sold?

Scandel

Once the next scandel brings down The Sun On Sunday, it might also take The Sun with it.

It's time for an enemy...

... that cannot be defeated by the Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver.

Not matter what speed you have...

...you are still limited to the speed the host can send data to you.

My questions are

Like with previous Medal of Honor games (Allied Assault, Spearhead, etc) for the PC

1. Can we set up a dedicated server running on our own hardware or rented hardware that players can join ?

2. Can the players create their own custom maps ?

3. Can the players mod the game (like freeze tag, etc) ?

After the farce with Modern Warefare and the absolute crappy IWNet for P2P multiplayer game play (which has put me off buying anymore Activision/Infinity Ward games) I am hoping that all the questions for Medal of Honor is yes.

If not then EA Games needs to have a good think about the PC gamers.

After all it was the custom map makers and modders that made the orginal MoH series one of the best FPS games in years even when Activision tried to copy it with their first Call of Duty series.

What if...

...I use "There is an application for that" ??

Budget

This trip to the US of A must have blown the entire season's budget.

Guess they will make up for it by shooting all the other episodes on the strrets of Cardiff instead in the studio on the sets of alien worlds.

Stephen Hawking

"This view is not shared by professor Stephen Hawking, The Australian notes. He recently warned: “I imagine they might exist in massive ships, having used up all the resources from their home planet."

Has Professor Hawking been watching Independence Day?

Facebook is a film??

I for one will not be watching this film.

I will keep my pennies for something that is worth watching. Cinema prices are bloody expensive.

I hope this will become a very expensive flop.

Quota

Since I won't be buying an iPad the poor bloke can have my quota.

Rural Area

Why the hell should people with land lines pay an extra tax so rural areas can have broadband?

I'm sorry but it's the telecoms companies that should pay for this. Not add more tax.

They asked for Government help because it isn't cost effective to put the infrastructure in place.

And what will happen if (not when) all this in place? Will they remove this "tax"?

Cut them off

If China won't allow freedom of speech on the Internet then I say cut them off. Deny China (and any other country that wants to do mass censoring) access to the Internet.

Put it this way we will have less spam, virus and hack attempts.

Plugins

Why should we need to install a plug-in to opt out of Google Spyware?

Google Spyware should be opt-in and you opt-in by installing the plug-ins.

Isn't it time for Vivien Reading to look into Google Spyware like she did with Phorm?

Apollo 11

Will they be releasing photos of the Apollo 11 landing site?

Backward compatibility

Why would you want WinMo7 to have backward compatibility with previous WinMo's?

Do you want WinMo7 to be bloated like Windows is?

Personally I think Microsoft should create a new OS (Windows and Mobile) from scratch and screw backward compatibility. Get rid of the bloat.

If your WinMo6.5 app is any good, the author would create a new version for WinMo7 to stay up to date.

Alien Life

If Alien life was detected, it would have been hushed up to avoid global panic and mass suicides.

And all religions will realise that God/Allah/Budda/etc do not exist but have infact been worshipping aliens. Goa'uld System Lords (Ra, Apophis, Anubis) perhaps?

Explains the birth of Jesus...

Mary impregnated by aliens.

The 3 "Wise" men following the light of an alien ship which then shone it's searchlight onto the stable.

Jesus has "special" abilities, like heal people with a single touch. Alien psychic powers.

Now only if...

...they force ad companies to use dot-ads so we can easily block them out as well.

Windows.Next

The next version of Windows should be 64 bit only.

It should be written from the ground up.

There should be NO backward compatibility built into it, no legacy crap.

For backward compatibility, Virtual PC should be used with older OS installed on it.

International Effort

If there is going to be any manned missions to the Moon or Mars (or further) it will have to be an International Co-operation.

We can no longer rely on the US of A for advancing mankind into space.

If the International Community pools their resources (man power, technology and money) we could be on the Moon again within a decade and on Mars with 20 years.

I'm sure China or India would love to get a man on the moon, well any other nation just to beat the Americans.

Constructions

Will you be releasing photos of the construction and testing of PARIS and Vulture 1 before the final launch?

Software

Hollywood might as well go and sue Microsoft since Bit Torrent runs on their Operating System.

Well it is the operating system that stores the data on the hard drive/removable media.

Larrikin Music

Why has it taken Larrikin Music this long to sue Men at Work?

Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree was written in 1934.

Down Under in the early 1980's.

It is now 2010, nearly 30 years since Down Under and 76 years since Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree.

Is Larrikin Music going to sue all the schools for allowing the children to sing this song as well?

What's next...

We have the Jesus Phone, Moses tablet...

What's next... Noah's Ark for a storage server?

Smut

Only 14% was smut?

hmmm... better do my own survey to see if that's accurate.

MW2

IW alienated clans who wanted their own dedicated servers to run training and play in ladder matches.

IW alienated the modding community when they dedicated not to have dedicated servers so there was no chance of people creating custom maps.

For these types of games to succeed on a PC the games need to allow players to create their own maps and create custom mods.

It was for these reasons why many people cancelled their orders and went back to CoD4.

Do this claim take into account cancelled or refunded orders?

This reminds me when there was an outcry from PC gamers about CoD2 which had no anti-cheat technology which caused the CoD community to lock out their servers for a day as a sign of protest.

Earth-Like

I think we should start using planet classifications like in Star Trek instead of using Earth-Like.

Earth = M Class - sutible for human life.
