Shenmue

I miss Shenmue. Come on SEGA, Shenmue for PS3!

Any program can do it

The future is IP, and any app to any app, like email.

If I want to do voice/video/im chat, I should be able to use any app I like and I pay for bandwidth to my ISP. What is the point of skype then?

what is theft...?

27% APR!

B*st*rds!

That is all.

More content please...

Future of TV/film, Spotify-esque subscriptions or advert-supported free service.

Why it took 6 days...

Day 1:

PSN Admin: We've been hacked! And it's possible user data was copied! We're patching the servers now....

Sony: Doh!

PSN Admin: Should we inform our users? Get them to change their passwords...?

Sony: Let me think....thinking....thinking....

PSN Admin: <sigh>

Sony: I got it - shut down PSN!

Day 2 - 6, meetings:

Sony: what to do... umm... aah.... er... thumb twiddling...finger in ar$e.......smells finger.

Day 7:

Sony: PRESS RELEASE - We've been hacked!

Welfare cheat

The Queen's the biggest benefit scrounger of them all.

Short-sighted move.

A boring world. Science and maths only? A limited range will stifle innovation. Discoveries in one area can help developments in another area. We are a DEVELOPED country and that is why we have lots of "soft" subjects, why we have "soft" industries, film, tv, games, professional sports, books, magazines...

We need more graduates, it will encourage growth and developments of new industries and markets in the long term.

After spending ~£50,000/child tax payers money on educating kids from primary to GCSE, is it right that they fail to go to University? Should they become cleaners and burger flippers? How many years of work before they pay the tax payers back? Should we not expect them to go into higher paid jobs and pay more tax? The burden on the tax payers are people brought up here ages 5 - 16 and don't get good jobs/ become unemployed, waste their benefits on booze and burgers, and then become a further drain on the NHS.

The Tories banning free swimming is also short-sighted. In the long-term it would have saved the NHS bilions (reduced obesity and muscular/skeletal problems).
