Re: Matter/anti-matter

Exotic matter. Lets build a stargate!

you could I suppose use an MD5 sum

If you have an original work, you could register it (by posting it to flickr say) with an MD5 sum of the full size orginal, with the exif data in it. That way you could proove it was your image at such and such a date

Re: You are right.. and wrong

Ah I thought DNS worked by looking at /etc/hosts and then always doing a recursive if it was not in there.

The plot thickens, thanks for explaining this point.

Re: The sound you hear

Its probably like the archer cartoons in there

Re: Wrong, but not ridiculous?

I cycle and drive, and 99% of the time what holds me up when driving a car, is other cars....

(cars hold me up occasionally cycling as well actually)

Re: Facepalm... @ AC 12:26

Are your elderly disabled neighbours physically fit enough to drive a car safety ? Also 8 months pregnant congrats, but should she not have her husband/partner help out ?

Re: On this logic

fatties should be taxed, they produce far more CO2 at rest than a fit person, and they are a burden on the NHS, with demands for heart/diabetes/blood-pressure/anti-inflamatories/stroke medicine.

Re: This is it!

I am a cyclist and have a resting HB of 45. This means that for the 2 hours or so of cycling to work, I may output a little more CO2, but the obese person is worse, They produce more than me when they are at rest. Nd I bet they use a car too. Tax the unfit!

Re: This is it!

I am a cyclist and have a resting HB of around 45....

Re: 3.2 Million reasons to love speed cameras

I have seen someone die trapped in a car in front of my eyes in a road accident.

It was a very upsetting experience.

Not silly talk. 3000 deaths a year on our roads is pretty amazingly high.

Any other `industry' would be shut down. Back to the incident I saw...

The police got there first, I was putting out the fire on the dripping exhaust pipe on the upside down car.

The ambulance and free service were probably lost (I hear they are pretty bad at navigation generally

I guess Rabiit80 if your are really an ambulance driver, you mostly arrive too late)

But I do think, on a lateral tangent here, that technology may well be the only thing to

reduce road deaths. Automatic braking systems to aid the awful human reaction times, and

monitoring via GPS to prevent people speeding (and doing a runner).

All things just around the corner so to speak.

you obviously never used FORTRAN, or DEC plot, or gnuplot ...

Re: 3.2 Million reasons to love speed cameras

Its mostly third parties that get harmed by speeding car drivers---speed cameras in theUK are placed where someone has died. often a child. Imagine, the child in shock half under the car mangled crying for mummy... but you would rather get from A to B 3 mins quicker....

Re: Cry me a river

or the practical compromise. Buy a new battery for the phone off ebay and go to a minimal 300 texts 100 mins 10 quid a year contract

Re: What is the UK's take on a drone camera?

that helicopter looks very unreliable from the reviews

Re: Sweet Jesus H Christ On A Bike

Ah I see, the BIOS detects an `overrun', thinks its under attack, and then self destructs.

Bit like a Japanese WWII soldier, rather commit suicide than be captured.

I pity the poor owners of these machines...

Re: har har!

Whats worse than being raped by ten pirates ?

Being fingered by captian hook !

Re: ELOP FAIL

Eadon, keep pointing out the truth. Thankyou.

Re: ELOP FAIL

Only reasons I still run windoze:

* Black Mesa Source

* Legacy code on MPLAB 8.66

* Portal 2

Re: ELOP FAIL

I would never buy a phone with windoze on it. that would be just asking for trouble, totally agree, nokia used to be OK, must have ditzy management now

This scientific paper shows us how to deal with it.

Re: Another bit that isn't original

Starship troopers was 1958.... What rubbish to start yelling about IP on the concept of a space marine.

Re: Lemme know...

Like a ring world ?

Re: Entropy: Big Problem!

Ever noticed some seaweeds are red not green ? Thats because, the UV and even the blue and green light is not available a few meters under the sea. Nature adapts. Even here on earth we have photosynthesis that can use much lower wavelength and engery EMR than UV....

Re: Space is big but time is big too

The cosmic seeding idea. Absolutely, what is all that junk DNA really for. Bet its for a creature with a big brain, four arms (it lives in micro/very low gravity) and a 1000 year life span... we are mere monkeys compared to what the seeding has in store for us...

Re: Ability Plus?

I had a summer job as a lifeguard and the beach inspectors used that to keep track of all the beach hut problems.
