Brilliant

Lets spend a small fortune on that - duplicating all of those roles that we currently "Share" (or have England pay, depending on who you ask) with the rest of the UK - We're going to need some Ambassadors, and they're going to want pay parity with their english counterparts. Oh, and we'll need a foriegn affairs ministry, and all sorts of other things... Who's going to pay for all of this?

Oh I forgot... The Unlimited supply of oil in the North sea.

What do you mean it isn't unlimited?

No

This might be arguable if GTA was out in the past few months... Instead it's currently a bargain item awaiting a new installment... But f you want to argue the police are emulating LA Noire, go right ahead.

The bankers seem to be doing a good job of playing railroad tycoon - if you go bust, restart or reload.

End Communication

Brother Chad of The Peacekeepers, Alpha Centauri

Or heaven forbid - actually talking to each other

In other news a tottenham MP has called for any oral vocalisations to be banned.

Meh

If you don't wan't negative Press - don't do anything worthy of Negative Press.

Google deserves scorn for this. If the Patents are phony maybe they should have spent their time and money challenging them, noy trying to buy them.

Given that El Reg isn't on Apples' invite to press confrence list, much less Steve's Christmas card list, I think you're overreacting.

That's odd

Because I did blast off to Alpha Centuari and start a thousand years of bloody conquest in the name of the UN... but I never played Alpha Centuari....

@ Sooty

Agreed. The kids today just can't appreciate the pleasure in finding the exact combination of device drivers being loaded (and loaded into UMB) that will suddenly make a game work...

Privateer was a pain in the neck - for some reason to get the thing to work I'd have to DriveSpace my C:, install the game on the rump bit that isn't compresseed, and then in an optional boot mode choose not to load drivespace - if I didn't drivespace the damn drive it wouldn't work for reasons I could never figure out.

It worked in the past...

That was the way ITV originally worked. You put in a bid comprising of a bit of cash, and what you'd actually do with the broadcast space, and if you had a strategy that looked like... I dunno, ITV today, you didn't win.

Does

Your home DVD database spot dodgy political donations?

Isn't that like blaming the immobiliser for a criminals arrest, rather than the fact he's stealing a car?

I didn't realise

That android had a music store.

@ JakeyC

To provide every film ever made would likely require a time machine given that I'm sure some films must have been lost to the sands of time... Much like a lot of early episodes of a certain series involving a Doctor.

But other than that I think you're spot On. With the price of storage ever decreasing there is absolutely no technical reason why netflix couldn't offer their entire DVD catalogue via streaming - just legal ones.

How dare someone vote that down....

Oh help me Obi-Wii-Kenobi, you're my only hope.

Err

If your going to argue someone isn't a has been I wouldn't mention games that were made several gaming generations ago.

Yup

Expect more to follow.
