phone number

Seen the number? + 23 417 238 107.

Funny that if that was 1 number different, it would have been +23 419...

Mac OS X firewall blocks Skype and online gamers

gamers use macs?

I didnt think macs even had graphics cards, based no their lack of a decent OS to the point of having to run windows.

@Declan

The Matari would never use solar panels - these would make their ships be too slow...

A satnav has just tried to kill its owner, and this is not even the first incident of this kind!

Yahoo! assists! searches!

Jacob Reid

Irritating, intrusive rubbish

Argh, not this again! I couldn't think of many more annoying things while I am entering a search, and OFC there is the privacy problem - does this mean they will be saving search logs for even longer?

Developer deploys graphics cards to accelerate password cracks

@E

an 8800GTX has 768MB of RAM - 2 of those would be good for most applications and give huge processing power. I suspect the real problem is the architecture.

Why not...

Why not just get a large sign mounted on your back that says 'MUG ME' - it would be a lot cheaper!

Finger-chopping jihadis derail MPs scanner system, claims MoS

Jacob Reid
Paris Hilton

Why not...

Why not just use a retinal scan? They don't work with dead people, and it would be fairly obvious if someone is walking at gunpoint with 6 terrorists behind them.

I find EasyJet treat passengers worse than cargo. Last time they threw us all in the hold and put the bags in seats.

@Anonymous coward

Never buy a stock built PC, it will come loaded with 'FREE software worth £500!!' - which includes rubbish like Norton Virus, Yahoo Spyware, Google Search Tracking, Dell PC Stability Reducer and other such rubbish.

'the MAARS is unable to fire directly at its own control console.'

Hmm, fine when a human is controlling it, but when happens when the Rise Of The Machines finally starts, then it will be no longer human controlled, so presumably its 'controller' will be the first target.

@Rick

Now you've done it...

I was hoping the RIAA/MPAA hadn't caught on to my illegal repeat memory based access. Ohnoes!

Jacob Reid

hacking?

I do not count guessing a password as hacking. Anyway, AOL users have no right to human rights.

Yes, but...

How does this relate to IT and/or Paris Hilton?

Canadian prof develops drunk-driving sim

Jacob Reid
Paris Hilton

re: So where's the download?

'Parker said the design team hopes to get funding to finish a more complete version before letting schools and police get their hands on the game.'

Now why do you want to play it?

Jacob Reid
Coat

What a random idea...

Only problem is you would need to get drunk in the first place to want to play it.

Perhaps the two drunk effects will cancel each other out

Drunkenness + drunk driving simulator = perfect driving?

Church slams cathedral gun battle game's Bafta nomination

Religious nutters again...

Do they ever shut up?

If they want to get back at sony, maybe they should make a shooter based in sony's offices where the aim is to kill the RFOM development team. Oh wait, I forgot, they are anti-everything.

UK police can now force you to reveal decryption keys

Jacob Reid

Truecrypt FTW

Encrypted volume containing a second, hidden encrypted volume. Place decoy files in the first layer, give out encryption key when the .gov take you over to Guantanamo, your real data is safe.

Brain-sucking parasitic killer menaces warming lake waters

Jacob Reid

Hmm...

Sounds to me like a relative of the headcrab. Any reports on whether the dead bodies are then getting up and killing people?

Jack Thompson might go down in gay porn shocker

Jacob Reid

re: It always amazes me...

Yep. Jack Thompson is a complete nutter, although when I saw the title of this article I thought it meant he was found in possession of gay pr0n lol. Unfortunately not that funny but still a great read.

Fundy dunderheads make monkey of monkey man

re: Fundamentalism

I am an atheist, and I hate all religion, but the difference is I am not going to strap a bomb on and go blow up innocent people, go on a genocidal hate campaign against people who oppose me or stone people to death for saying the wrong thing, where religions encourage people to do just that.

Man sues God

Jacob Reid

Suing nonexistent peple? I'm in.

Maybe I can sue the nonexistent man who gives everyone 55million for not giving me any money.

Hey, maybe I could sue fictional characters as well.
