Re: Merchandising!
Dammit! Given a list of n items. People will only remember n-1. Which is why I always put an elephant at the end of my shopping list.

Merchandising!
Where the real money from the movie is made!
Spaceballs the T-shirt!
Spaceballs the Colouring Book!
Spaceballs the Lunchbox!
Spaceballs the Breakfast Cereal!
Spaceballs the Flame Thrower!
(The kids love that one.)
Re: Probably doesnt trigger gaydar
He's probably picking interference from a gay weather balloon.
We should be sending more.
With today's technology we should be able to get better instrument packages to the heliosphere in less than 35 years surely?
Re: "God Speed"
God Speed isn't fast enough!
He's looking a bit peaky
Someone call 111!
Re: Council statement is here
"Argyll and Bute Council wholly refutes the unwarranted attacks on its schools catering service which culminated in national press headlines which have led catering staff to fear for their jobs"
I'd fear for my job too if I was producing meals of the quality depicted in the article.

5.3 million kilometers away
I guess that's too far away to hit it with a mining laser and scoop up free metals?
Kids today!
With their legitimate blogs with interesting stories.
If Martha had been blogging about anything else and had got her picture in the papers, you can guarantee that the Head would have capitalised on the publicity.
If I was in charge of El Reg I would be offering her a job. Lunch Register anyone? :)

Re: It's an adult game
It's not something that I would want to expose children to.

Re: It's an adult game
It's an adult game. Marketed at and played by adults. It depicts the main character gunning down various other characters. Killing them.
If the game explored the issue of racism, then I would fully expect it to have racist themes.
It'll never happen
That sounds too much like common sense Benjamin.
We can negotiate for a lower tax bill!?
I'm writing my letter to George Osborne now! :D
Bi-sexual Icons too please.
Let's not leave anyone out.

It's an adult game
Why should it not have adult themes?
PRC Have a better patent than that.
They have a patent for an "Image display device", if they enforced that patent, then they'd make billions!
Quote From Article
"I don’t think we should pass broad laws on a promise from government that they will never abuse them."
I think Julian Huppert is a bit late...
This is difficult
Lately I'm finding it very difficult to tell the difference between the government and the terrorists that they claim to be trying to protect me from.
I don't think women are that influenced by what they see on TV
Or if they are... They haven't been watching enough Lynx adverts.
Lawyer hands out free advice
And it turns out to be worth exactly what was paid for it.
Sales Reps usually are hot.
Because sex sells. There's a reason that advertisers drape scantily clad women and men all over their products. Because it works.
Integration across Whitehall is an issue
That's always been an issue. The governments right hand is barely aware that its left hand exists.
That's the deadly threat of torrents dealt with once and for all.
I for one will be happy that pop stars, actors and movie moguls will be able to eat three square meals a day and keep a roof over their heads now.
Or at any rate, it should give them one less excuse to hang around begging on the streets of LA.
Where can I buy some lead underpants?
I'm now concerned about x-ray laser wielding scientists rampaging over the city. Run for your lives!
I was disappointed the the article did not relate to the picture.
Paris Icon. Because that doesn't relate to the article either.
What goes around
Comes around I guess. At least on poorly configured networks anyway.
Definitely Beerworthy
I'll bet there's some champagne corks popping at SpaceX right now too.
That is frigging genius!
I'd always thought that some of the worlds major problems could be solved with magnets.
Conventional Access
So maybe it's time for a little unconventional access.
Paris... because, well... you figure it out.
It's Science Jim,
But not as we know it.
Not quite SpaceX is it?
I'm surprised Mr Branson didn't just buy SpaceX and slap a Virgin Galactic sticker on it.
What? It's what Virgin Media did with Telewest, NTL, etc.
Re: Contracts
I'm not telling everyone what I think the law is. I'm asking what the law is.
Is ticking a box and clicking a button signing a contract?
Contracts
Checking a box and saying I agree to the terms of use of your website is not a contract is it? After all, nothing has been signed. You could even argue that for most people, checking the box and clicking the button is just a hurdle to jump over to do the thing that you actually wanted to do with the site.
Same goes for EULAs.
Re: Win-win
That's all very well ukgnome. But do they know how to program my TiVo?
I'm not scoffing.
At least, not over an unencrypted traceable internet connection anyway.
Re: Is it just me....
Funny, I was just thinking the same about the members of the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games...
There are tools for this sort of thing.
Has no one at the BBC ever heard of Tineye?
Has anyone applied for
.gullible yet?
1.8 Zettabytes
Great Scott!
Virgin Pipes Clogged
Is that why my Pirate Bay torrents have been running so slow lately?
I don't think that this is a world first.
There have been plenty of chips made before that have undocumented "features".
Re: From the other point of view.
It's easier to go after Google than the actual infringer. After all, if Google doesn't index it, it doesn't exist right?
Of course, it's harder to go after every search engine. But after a listing has been taken off Google, it magically makes it disappear from Altavista, DuckDuckGo, Bing, Yahoo, Excite, and the rest..
Hundreds of thousands of Brits

One local apparently suffered a shock when they touched the wreckage.
What on Earth possessed them to touch it?
If you can be jailed for joking
Then the terrorists have already won.

Deforestation
Have you seen a Leyland Cypress grow? Those buggers grow like weeds!
Cookie What Now?
Didn't we go through all this cookie paranoia nonsense in the 90's? And in the 00's?
There's a bloody setting in virtually every browser to stop the menace of cookies. I don't expect people to know the ins and outs of exactly how their browser works, but I do expect them to read the fucking manual.
Reading the manual solves an awful lot of problems. Such as cookies (which seem to be a problem for some people).
