I think the fact that so many hardware hackers have embraced the Pi is actually a good thing for its image, if kids learn to use them at school they'll likely discover a whole world of non-school people using for a vast array of uses. Never had that with the BBC Micro when I was young as they were mostly confined to schools, although I still have my BBC Master Compact in a drawer somewhere.
I played GTA V on the day it was released round at my brother's, next day I went out and bought an XBox which came with a free copy of GTA V and have been having quite a bit of fun hopping between playing the storyline and free-roaming.
But now I completed the main storyline missions it does seem samey samey, I found a PC program called XBox Horizon which is designed to modify game saves for a variety of games (including GTA V) so gave each character 2 billion dollars and full ability stats but even with that it seems somewhat lacking.
The only way I can describe it is Avatar - I really did enjoy the experience of the film in the cinema but looking back and re-watching it at home the plot was lacking and it feels empty. But at least with GTA V I can start at the beginning again and play things out slightly differently during the storymode, not something that you can do with a film.
And yes at first Trevor just came across as a horrible oaf but thought about it and came to the conclusion that he is the most interesting character in the game, half the time I can't figure out if his (often very funny) one-liners are serious or sarcastic or both, but I do know they add much needed richness to the game. Without Trevor the storyline would suck.
I haven't played it online as I haven't yet activated XBox Live, I don't know if I want to pay to be humiliated online (I can already do that here for free!) by children not old enough to legally buy the game.
So does this mean that if you can post pornography (either fullsize, thumbnail or browser-resized to a single pixel so site visitors don't actually see it) to a 3rd party website/forum you can get that site added to the filter list which will apparently be quite difficult to be removed from?
Some people are going to have a field day with that...
The Mobius, from the manufacturer that created version #16 of the 808 carfob 'spy' cameras. By far the best full 1080p HD miniature camera for its price, can work as a sports cam or a dash cam (continual loop recording of short files).
Full review on Techmoan's site, with sample clips to download and link to the eBay seller who's the manufacturer's shop front. If you order one, look at the sellers other items for mounts, long USB cable etc.
I got one, only took 6 days to arrive from China, and am about to get another to install permanently in my mum's car it's that good.
I recall more than one tech news article in the past proclaiming just that.
Well if the manufacturers of these new fangled networked appliances can't even secure a simple lightbulb properly then we're all screwed, I don't want to come home and find my frigde got hacked and ordered 1000 gallons of milk from a home delivery supermarket.
Horizon even did a show about it in 1991 called "Colonziing Cyberspace", the Virtuality system is featured in it:

Worth a look just to see the real early days of realtime 3D graphics compared to what a pocket phone of today can accomplish with ease.
Now I'm on BT Infinity 2 I get just under 80mbit, and I'm practically in the countryside (I look out my windows and see fields and hills & homes, not a cold concrete cityscape)
You just gotta be in the right part of the countryside to get the best of both worlds.
Dear El Reg,
Why do you keep changing the forum layout for the worse? It's all looking uglier and uglier.
Recently the flat-look colourless design, with the need to click a tab to select the forum icon which has now been shifted over to the right hand side.
And now replies to existing comments are 'nested' by shifting the left hand edge of the text area more to the right, causing them to be squashed up into a smaller space, meaning long comment replies get even taller on screen.
Can you put it all back please, we don't like it :(
Does this mean Apple are scrambling to "invent" the next big thing (that nobody needs but suddenly everyone wants) to sell to the gullible masses?
My money's on an iPet, just because the Sony Aibo and the Ugobe Pleo weren't instant overnight successes it doesn't mean that robot pets can't be sold to everyone and their granny with the right company & marketing scheme!
Let me get this straight, when they tried to block TPB a whole bunch of proxies suddenly sprung up seemingly out of nowhere by a bunch of random people doing it for absolutely free.
But now they want to block en-mass a MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR industry!?
It's going to be insane, the porn producers will not take this lying down (ahem), they'll fight back and they have an enourmous amount of money to do so.
If dozens of free TPB proxies spring up overnight because a country put blocks to A SINGLE SITE, how many proxies and innocuous links/sites will spring up for the 4.2 MILLION porn sites out there?
Actually 4.2 million might be a little conservative as these statistics are for 2006 - http://internet-filter-review.toptenreviews.com/internet-pornography-statistics.html

For a guy who's been dead for nearly 20 years he manages to talk more sense than any politician currently fucking up our country.
Yep, he certainly did, along with some other crazy antics, very funny to watch:
It's almost like they only want the lazy patrons...
I can't suggest cyclists organise a mass descent on drive-thru's to try and get them to change their mind because if it worked then the remaining few healthy people we still have in this country would be encouraged to eat that slop - just imagine the advertising campaigns.
