GATTACA

Wasn't there a scene is Gattaca where the hero's DNA was suripticously taken from his keyboard by his corporation for testing? It looks like science fact has caught up with science fiction.

A Richard Madley icon for the reporter

As pointed out by many others, this survey shows that women are four times as clever. Can we have a Richard Madley or Peter Andre icon to complement the Paris Hilton icon?

It should be made

The Nicolas Cage version was dreadful and although the planned official sequal would not be a patch on the original, I believe it would have been a worthwhile film to make and would donate a small amount to have it made.

A bit premature to run this out this century

Flight by machines heavier than air is unpractical and insignificant, if not utterly impossible.

Airfix

It is more than suspicious that Boeing announce a plastic plane shortly after Airfix stop manufacture. If anyone sees a giant tube of UHU in the Seatle area then this whistleblower's report is only the tip of the iceberg.

I visited Bletchley Park recently and urge all you geeks to go visit.

Anyone involved with IT and even those who are not should pay a pilgramage to Bletchley Park. The work of Alan Turing, Tommy Flowers and the rest of the experts should be celebrated more regularly as these people were heros. At Blecthley Park the first Electronic programmable computer was built. A recreation of it has been built there now, which is an awe inspiring sight.
