The Culture

Ian was right...

So...

Will this prove the Flat Earth folks wrong after all? :D

Flat Earth...

Oh, and you can't get heavier than air objects to fly. And super-sonic speeds, never. As for instant global communications, no way. And you can't get computer controlled cars to go about without killing everyone.... Yawn... I can't wait :)

would i but one..

Fill in the gaps.... would I ++++!

Scotland..

We have a saying in Scotland:

Aye right!

( feel free to argue about the punctuation )

Missing the GeoStationary Point

Ah...that title has no meaning...don't let it worry you...

but what we need to do is attach engines to the EARTH. That way we are in control :) ha ha...off to escape from my straight jacket now :)

Focus...

Ford....Not by human thought...so when your car auto-parks over someones' toes....not your fault...no human thought...well..maybe the speed...how long till that aspect is removed? It'll be interesting to watch in any case... I've used too many of these .... now ....

All together now...

because it's fake!

<< leaves

:D

Don't read this...

I've said it before, and I'll say it again....yawn....what a fecking waste of human resources....imagine what good these companies could do if they were working for humanity and not just for their bottom line....all pulling in the same direction as opposed to fighting each other...a doubling, at least, of productive capabilities...in the mean time....watch the court battles...this is, after all, a natural system that must have been given to us by god....

Children...

If we, as a species, feel that we "know it all", and that our "currently established laws" somehow describe the totality and that then allows us to make sweeping statements about what is and what is not possible then we are, as my title suggests, children.

Keep asking the questions...

Our fire has become our electricity...what will our electricity become?

@BinaryFu

That ID would not be allowed on Google+ . So good luck with your move :)

@Wommit

I'll watch thanks...send me a post card...

Thanks...

...For the link...Now I have to look into what "mobilenationhq" is all about...having just about bought the idea of Basic4Android...hmmm

The notion of developing an app in a browser freaks me....google App Factory...brrr...

@SteveBalmer

The point was made before....in capitalism a company does not get "taken over" or enter into deals that are not "beneficial to it", unless they have to. "They have" is defined as "keeping their profitability", in this case. It's easy to blame M$ if we dismiss the larger picture. For a better understanding of that, head to http://www.realityinfo.org . Peace.

LOHAN

L33t Operation to Heaven And beyoNd?

Landing Obviously Harder thAN taking off... :D

Launch Over Hope And Nous

If only you'd given us a better name to work with... :D I don't know any "celebs" :(

There's no IT in the name...

Cheers.

The article made even someone as thick as me think that they understand the concepts; thanks.

I Like This :)

"Secondly he accused Google of blocking Windows Mobile phones from **working properly** with YouTube." ( My *s )

So you can access OWA via IE and get a full interface but on FF or anything else you only get a cut down version. In fact, as you log in you get told:

"If you are using a browser other than Internet Explorer 6 or later, you can only use the Light client."

Restrictive? I mean, we pay for the service...Oh yeah, there's the problem :)

Fiddle me this...

Nuff said

I Love it,..

There are two strands to this story

1) Business as usual. Your tax payers money straight into the hands of private companies.

2) Less murder machines on our planet. Result.

No more killing please people, this is not the dark ages. Fuck, it’s not even the 90s. Time to grow up.

Peace.

I'm still looking for the IT angle mind...

@petur

That made me smile..I wrote a very similar line in a comment of an assember(80x86) file viewer that I wrote, many, many years ago. It was able to show 4GB files in the good old DOS days..I wrote..

When we have files larger than 4GB, I'll think about re-writing this....

Time to head to the drawing board...I'll give you a kick when we meet your wake up point...don't get too comfy...

I suppose this is why we're in geek-ness...it's just so dynamic and fun :)

Waste aside...

"If all goes according to plan, it will dock "directly and autonomously" with the ISS's Zvezda module on Thursday, 24 February."

WOW! Really!? We can do this but still we have war, famine, poverty, unemployment, homelessness back down on the planet...tech, I'm sure, will help save us, for sure...I think it's way over time we used it for the benefit of all humans...oh yeah, that means you! I'm connected...

Que?

"More recently, Sony has expanded its legal offensive to other PS3 hackers by requesting subpoenas that, among other things, would force Google to identify people who viewed videos posted to GeoHot's private YouTube channel."

Really? So "knowing stuff" now is a crime. Well, we saw that with that dude that downloaded that terrorist training manual...I wonder what would have happened to all those readers of the (g)olly R0dgers C00k book back in the day? Rip your brains out now in case you have ever seen or learned anything that you've never put into practice which may or may not be deemed or not deemed "illegal" and against the profits of company x,y,z or the gov....run!

Feck.

@Martin19

Good man yourself. I was just going to say the very same thing...well done BBC! NOT! Apples belong in orchards! Send them back:)

More functionality or not, this is a development for a minority of a minority...total waste of time / tax money.

Lethal

Where's Riggs when you need him?!

...while Rome burns...

Springs to mind....

Gullible is not in the dictionary...

"The software giant points out that maintaining three accounts, presumably with three different passwords, is a pain."

Yeah, and the more "data" that M$ can control, the better.

Aye...right!

"Small set back for gov"..."large step forward"..."the move is great"....it's great for one thing..and one thing only; PROFIT.

They tax you.

They give that money to large "boys club" companies.

Who pay you

They tax you

It is *NO* problem for this system to create tech that it "doesn't use", in any way....as the usefulness of the project has already been realised...until next time...

Get off now you know :)

The Elephant In The Room

I know you all accept this is a "as it is", and "how it has to be"...but the elephant in this particular room is that *any* of the day to day working of *any* of our civil SERVANTS is in any way classified at all.

Truth and openness, it would seem, are the enemies of the state.

What are they hiding?

We elected them.

They WORK for us.

They are only our REPRESENTATIVES, but yet they keep all their discussions etc behind closed doors.

You are a fool if you think this is healthy or “pro-you”; it’s not.

Result :)

Cheers.

How accurate..

The top of Page 2 was...I got to the bottom of Page 1 and had a good chuckle along those very lines...

"Open sourcers might chuckle at the predicament of the Windows fan:"

Of course that dude that *expect*s M$ to fix this! Yeah...And world capitalism really is really good for you and for all humans...DOH

Skull and Cross Swords as I'll be long in my grave before some folks waken up to the horrors...

Cortex

I had the pleasure of developing an embedded application on the Cortex last year, from scratch...Lovely chip...Long live ARM :)

Driving with the brakes on...

Just more evidence that the current system, capitalism, is holding humanity back.

Research budgets cut...so we'll have to wait for our time travelling hover boots then?

Let me get this straight...

So the gov pay, using collected taxes I presume, lawyers / others to protect folks that they have, potentially artificially, labelled as criminals. In essence, they have created a rule that means they can pump more public taxes back to private companies...yeah...another win for the boys club :)
