And the chopper guys where are they now? Just wondering.

Steady on there mate, remember Operation Ore?

EPIC WIN

Hope it continues.

I wonder if there's any places left in the CIA black-ops prisons in the middle east now that the yanks are pulling out...? Eye for an eye and all that, plus they probly pretty willing to sing, cos we already know they're scum and they know that too, unlike a fighter doing it for the love of his country and/or god, misguided though he may be.

NASA confirms first Earth candidate in habitable zone

Assuming internet data leaks out to space via sattelite links and whatnot... What's the odds that in 1200 year's we'll pick up a "Piss off puny earthlings!" transmission?

F.A.S.T!

Cisco to HP: 'Stop suing former staffers'

If an employee leaves for a rival company (one assumes the employee is specialised in a certain area, thus will seek a place with a similar company) for better pay and/or conditions... Isn't that like a customer buying a rival's product or service because it is better and/or cheaper?

Well HP, is it or isnt it? Clearly it is.

Or to put it another way: That's capitalism, bitch!

Samsung strokes big bulb that'll keep going for decades

Grab your sander. it is all down to the nature of the optics, which in the case of a bare transparent LED is a bit of epoxy or whatever plastic.

Photosynthetically Active Radiation?

The PAR bulbs on the other hand, can cost as much as $59.98 for the 1100 lumen, 75W version.

Yeah... They know who's willing to pay that for a PAR oriented bulb that's energy efficient, cool, safe, and will last for yonks.

*cough* Good shit, Sherlock!

Swearing fine quashed as teens have heard it all before

I believe that just being politely epicly smug would have been a better tact, but you must consider that the police often invite this sort of treatment. Even I know this from experience, and I'm white FFS!

See Confessions of an undercover cop. (recent documentry) On joining a peaceful protest he was shown so much simple manners by the police that blood poured out of his head.

Hear here!

Problem: Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker and tits.

My proposed solution: The Japanese language. (IIRC it does not have any swear words.)

Ten... best Blu-ray movies of 2011

May I humbly recommend Ink (2009)

http://www.doubleedgefilms.com

It is one of my trio of all-time favourite films. An independent masterpiece made on a shoestring in Colorado by a husband and wife team. Shot in HD, then spent 14 months in post with plenty of rotoscoping, to pump up the visials to make this a real work of art, with a soundtrack to match.

But most of all it is the story, which reveals its depth and sophistication through repeated viewings. Intelligent, original, and beautiful.

The creators deliberately released it for p2p download, and there is a good article about that on the site. I downloaded, loved and purchased. You'll likely do the same.

Yeah, I'm a fanboi for this film. I have the signed Blu-Ray. :)

OFFICIAL: Last Western Black rhino snuffs it

I saw this coming.

Not cos I'm a smartarse but because it was reported on a documentry featuring White Rhinos (Last Chance To See with Stephen Fry) that since none of the Black Rhinos had been spotted for a while, the preparations were under way to have it declared oficially extinct.

Alien: "WTF? That virus with shoes is pretty damn nasty! Tell the Whitehouse where to stick their dinner invitation..."

Compact Disc death foretold for 2012

Modern players, YMMV

I burned a variety of tracks from FLAC to use in a listening test when I decided to get new speakers. Burn verefied just fine.

Once at the Hi-Fi shop both a £500 Arcam and a £300 Cambridge Audio player were having none of it. I had to resort to a pressed Gnarles Barkley's St Elsewhere that the shop had knocking about.

Back home my 15 year old £120 Technics CD player didn't bat an eyelid and played the disk perfectly.

As I said though YMMV as I'm just one bloke recounting one experience.

UK CB radio crowd celebrates three decades of legality

I have no interest in CB or other such matters

So I can speak free of bias as an objective observer. That may ruffle a few feathers but so be it, here goes...

Bloody good stuff! Keep up the good work! One day when this handcart nears its fiery terminus, we will surely need you. ;-)

Party hearty and remember: On Citizen's Band, everyone can hear you slur.

Boeing 787 Dreamliner makes first commercial flight

Yeah it's a real devil all that carbon fibre fatigue! And the stuff hasn't even been tested yet. And what with a bunch of amateur shed fiddlers like Boeing nailing it together.... We're all doomed!

At least the silver lining is that commercial aircraft can fly on a single engine.

On time if not on date!

16.5 inches?

I've got a few extra kilos but I'm definitely not what you'd call fat. Chubby at most.

I just measured my seated backside at 18 inches.

Debt collectors warned off pursuing punters on Facebook

Real name on SN sites?!?!?

What sort of raving idiot publicly uses their real name on the internet? In any case how would the knuckle draggers know they had the right John Smith?

In my experience, there's only so many "No, haha, get f****d!" that they can handle. Oh and remember to refuse any recorded delivery/courier documents.

Halifax annoyed me so they lost over £20K and I never even needed to consult my solicitors!

'Mental act' computerisations no longer automatically unpatentable

Setting aside commercial and political issues...

If you are patenting a mathematical method, aren't you patenting reality itself? Or am I missing something, which I genuinely may be.

Note I'm not for a second suggesting that boffinry, mathematical or otherwise, has no monetary value.

4chan founder bashes Facebook, Google+ on identity

I suspect a hurdle might be having access to the Politburo's central databases to verefy them.

And my passport through Royal Fail? Might as well send it to the Centrol Cleerings State Banck Of Nigeria!

So it's an emailed scan, which is probably as risky as snailmail, but but at least there's the option of photoshop if you know what you're doing with with the code formats, checksums etc.

Spotify adds 'temporary' private listening mode after Facebook backlash

*Yawn* quick recap of the basics for you.

Is a bloke who paints your lounge an artist? No.

Purchase of material outside of the sound data which has no _material_ value. T-shirts, cool album packaging, etc. That stuff can't be sent over internets, which is the delivery format this story and my post relate to. I could've been clearer on that point, I admit.

Do only Folk groups do gigs? No.

Do I download films too? Damn right. As a carer I dont have the money to fork out for a DVD only to watch it a few times maximum. Do I buy films? Damn right, if it is a genuine work of art. http://www.doubleedgefilms.com Ink deluxe blu-ray package was my last purchase. There is also a good article about piracy on that site.

Too late.

At least two of their customers that I know of are already back on isoHunt and What.CD.

Personally, I never left iH/wcd. After all, how can anything compete with free FLAC? Can't. Bitches.

Boffins invent miracle pill that counteracts effects of booze

Oh thanks guys!

I'm newly teetotal (again, after a couple of weeks relapse) and now I don't get to feel smugly superior and blackmail people after all? The only amusement I'll have is hearing their livers exploding from time to time!

More seriously, if this were readily available it would be a good way to thin the naturally irresponsible from society (through their livers exploding) kinda like we do with cars for teenagers.

Crazy pot smokers get high on wireless power

I love nothing more than a mind-emulsifying digi-vape night, but once I've piled up the drinks and munch, fired up the vape and stuck the Sneaker Pimps on the system... I aint goin' *nowhere*

Brits not keen on 3D, reveals poll

I've not properly seen 3D cinema due to being a bit far back in the Avatar queue thus getting a seat outside the "sweet spot", that being due to me and a mate smoking some aesthetically sensitising cigarettes in the car park immediately prior. Looked very promising though, at least at IMAX scale.

From what I've seen though, I wouldnt piss on a 3D telly if it was on 3D fire. I'll give the tech another decade or so to reach puberty.

"the most satisfying and most complete computing experience" AKA a keyboard. And I like ports. Lots of ports.

Anyway, isn't it always the way that the new shiny is released in Q1 so that they can shift a job lot of the current tech at a higher price to the uninitiated over xmas?
