Bucks village repels Street View spycar

Lottie

prats

If the road was private, I guess they could have told the driver where to go, but if it wasn't, isn't obstruction of the highway an offence that lets the police club the shit out of you these days?

White wine stains your teeth too

Lottie

so....

Black tea after drinking wine leads to staining.

Well duh!!!

A more pertinent test would be to see if chili sauce stains your teeth if drinking Thunderbird whilst eating a kebab.

Great story

Almost believable too. Was uncertain up till the WTF2 radio station.

Hope Sarah hasn't <i>really</i> gone.

Problem solved

I was umming and aahing about getting a little nettot and the deciding factor for not getting one was the lack of an optical drive. This seems to be a slightly pricy, but decent solution.

So is she just complaining that folk can see bap and beaver shots without having to pay?

I swear, these people don't pay attention to what's outside the windows anyway.

Sex crime 'lie detector' pilot could prompt wider use

Boffin

Hmmmm How will this work then?

"so Mr. P. Phile, have you had contact with children recently?"

Paedophile thinks about certain type of "contact with children" and heart rate, sweat production etc all increase and register false positive?

Boffin builds DIY solar cell from doughnuts and tea

Lottie

Pretty cool

The world needs more bonkers scientists who do this sort of thing. Non-conventional thinking is the way forward.

Brussels: Old-school lightbulbs to be gone by 2012

Lottie

Lava Lamp

So does this mean that my lava lamp that relies on the light AND heat of the bulb will be obsolete?

Etailer flogs signed Jade Goody biog for £1,000

Lottie

Amazing!!

It's good marketing.

6 months later and the seller wouldn't have been able to sell for much as her "amazing recovery" would lower the price.

If she really DOES have cancer, I feel sorry for her kids, but don't care much past that as thousands all over the world live with it and they don't get fuck knows how much for their stories of bravery.

What is the actual SPL rating. dB is more a ratio than a definition of volume.

Google's email service goes down

Lottie

That's it!!

I want my money back.....

Axe poised to swing at Vodafone

Lottie

I wonder

Does the fact that their service has almost ground to a halt recently mean anything?

Last week, my other half was regularly finding that folk had txted her in the morning and nothing was delivered until well into the evening.

17in MacBook boasts bloody big battery

Lottie

How long?

How long until we see replica stickers for sale on ebay "for entertainment only"?

Replace the battery, slap on a replica sticker, waranty still intact.

Forget flying to the stars - try quicker-drying bras

Lottie

hmmm

If I ever spend that much on a bra, I'll get myself checked in tot he nearest mental unit.

As for drying them, I find that hanging them on the bedroom radiator works well enough.

BBC, what a bunch of tards.

Mind you, at least they were nice enough to try and sort it all out.

Joker must retire, insist Heath Ledger fans

Lottie

Dumb!!

I watched the Dark Knight, hoping for a really amazing performance and was mildly let down in all aspects. That includes the role of the Joker.

I remember when he was still alive and the film buffs were all "Heath can't do the Joker, he's not good enough" I actually agree witht hem.

HD TV beats depression, claims HD TV company

Lottie

Better cure

Spend the money on something decent.

Seriously, in the closing down sales, for the price of an HDTV, Sky HD subscription and telly licence, you could buy so damn much. All the DVDs of Simpsons and Futurama that would be repeated ad nausium anyway for example.

That ought to elevate the mood.

Yes! It's the cardboard PC!

Lottie
Happy

I'd buy one

I like the concept, but if he could make it look like a pizza box it'd be cooler :-)

Think of the children!!

I think this is exactly the reason we and america need to join forces and ban extreme sci-fi. Obviously, this fella watched one too many episodes of stra trek and it made.. nay, forced him to commit these crimes.

Why won't someone think of the kiddies?

Wot??!!

So if I photgraph a copper, I run the risk of 10 years inside and she gets less than 2 years for killing someone through sheer fucking stupidity?

Father of Playmobil dies at 79

Lottie
Unhappy

Reconstruction

If we get a playmobil reconstruction of his life, what happens when he invents playmobil? It'll be weird and recursive and make the universe collapse..... or not.

It's actually a shame that his name wasn't really that well known but he affected so many kids lives for the better.

Woolies to be resurrected as online-only store

Lottie

Neat

I always wanted to visit an online shop that was dirty, sold crappy DVDs of awful movies and was full of staff who had to look at their hands to count to 12.

Wrong kind of winter brings England to a halt

Lottie
Thumb Up

aaah

My little brother loves this weather. He drives round in his REAL landrover and charges people to tow their X5s and fronteras out of ditches.

I however just find it a nuisance. I have to walk a little more carefully, but the opportunities to take some awesome pix on my cameraphone are worth it.

Hybrid fusion-fission reactors to run on nuclear 'sludge'

Lottie
Thumb Up

Cool

I like the fact that they have a new take on stuff and HAVEN'T hailed it as a cure all. They admit it's a bridge and IMHO, if the future is (as it seems to be) based on nuclear energy power stations, I wholeheartedly welcome any system that can help reduce the impact of the waste. It sounds a little more friendly than dumping it somewhere.

World's fastest production car to gain electric twin

Lottie

Garage

I reckon it's a case of the 220 V supplying a big station at home over time and then dumping it in to the battery really quickly via huuuuuge cables.

Where has all the bad storage gone?

Lottie
Thumb Down

Storage?

I was assuming this was going to be an article about what disks to avoid/ the history of how they have become more reliable. We got a bitch about tape storage and then an advert for Apple.

Whatever.

Bonkers but cool

If I had a spare 50K lying around I'd so have one of them. Any idea what the biofuel will be?

M&S to sell Elonex netbooks

Specs?

Any details on the 'puters specs etc?

I wonder if we'll see them for £45 in the next clearance shop with labels like "last seasons colours"?

Windows 7 beta washes up on Pirate Bay

Lottie
Pirate

eh?

What would the risk to my environment be from downloading pirate software?

Apart from improving it that it. As we all know, the more pirates there are, the less Global Warming there is.

Kiwis deploy nut-crush powered jumbo

Lottie

Title-2.0

I hope the constant use of 2.0 was just to wind the readers up?

Anyway, this is a good proof of concept, but just throwing a bunch of new nut trees into a desert could cause massive issues. Especially in the numbers needed to produce a fuel oil alternative for everyone in the world.

Boffins keep transplant lungs alive in glass dome

Lottie
Coat

Brilliant!!

This is great; reconditioning organs is such a fantastic idea. I'm glad that

a) there's now a chance that a case of "we found a donor, but their lungs were too shot to use" will be eiliminated

b) I can treat my body like sh*t in good concience because I know that if my lungs are needed after I'm gone, they can be reconditioned.

Title says it all

YouTube 'poisoned baby food' hoaxer pleads guilty

Lottie

@ hikaricore

I think there's a big difference between protecting "free speech" and causing fear and panic.

Essentially, this guy essentially said "If your child has eaten this food, it'll die".

There's a law in this country and I assume in the US too that covers causing fear, which is what this guy did on a large scale.

Financial loss for the company would be an issue too. I suspect that there will still be some stigma in panicky parents minds that connects the company with "poisoned foods" which could lead to losses.

Watch out BOFH!!

I'm impressed they could remove the data after the fire/ falling through the floor.

Bofh might need a new way to destroy his tracks.

Egads!!!

The employee needs firing, their manager needs firing and the ICT dept need a right bollocking for not making sure that encription/ paswording of documents was a policy for memory sticks.

ooh,

1) I'm so tempted by the Sony and now more so

2) how long before the cavalry arrive to dispute the list and demand the ipod be placed at #1?

Fiat shows solar-panel wrapped 'Panda of the future'

Lottie
Thumb Up

I like it.

It's a bit garish, but I like the idea. From an automotive POV, the low weight is a very good idea and... I dunno, I always thought small FIATs were *supposed* to look quirky.

It looks like it has personality, isn't too much slower than a cinquecento and shows that EVs can be fun.

Where do I sign up?

Brit ISPs censor Wikipedia over 'child porn' album cover

Lottie

Who decided

I may have missed it, but just who decided that this was potentially illegal? Surely if IWF had looked at it, they could asscertain for certain the legality?

Also, I'm assuming that the people who *did* make the decision are in jail now as obviously seeing such corrupting images will turn them into peados in the blink of an eye.

Pair arrested over leaked BNP list

Lottie

Really emotive issue,

but if you take emotion out of the picture for a moment, it's simply a breach of the DPA and should be tried as such. Of course, I'd like Redwatch site maintainers to be targetted for their lists that breach the DPA. *Fingers crossed eh*

Violent games arent anti family though

I remember spending a wonderful time playing Streets of Rage 2 with my dad.

Brits decline to 'think outside the box'

I have to admit....

...to using a lot of phrases like this, but only ever in jest.

I like this series so far, but I love most post apoc. stuff :-)

I hope I'm not as daft as some of them though if it all came real. After all, almost all of them seem to have forgotten to arm themselves.

@ Conrad Longmore: Agreed.
