Although i do like the odd zombie film , I think it should have remained a one off idea , ie when romero did his first 3 , not a "genre" to repeated over and over again.
Are we that obsessed with the idea of our own dead bodies coming back to eat people?
I think a return to the sorcerer controlling the zombies would be a nice variation, but modern audiences would no doubt say "Oh, its gone all like magical and sourcery and stuff - thats just silly"
good point & well made agellos
I cant imagine what those two thumbs down are for , probly from Jake and some other pfy
You only have to look at the purile stream of idiocy below most utube videos to see this effect.
I'm not saying you should never be able to be anonymous but it should be the exception rather than the rule.
I'm sure Halifax bank wouldnt repond too well if you tried to open an account in the name of

if you dont wanna use your real name , dont use faceb of the google wotever it is , those are apparently for people secure enough to use their real name.
If you think back to the original social networking site - "Friends Reunited" - what would be the point if your friends didnt use their real names? same with facebook, the entire concept requires people tell people who they are.
simples
They have actually retained a very innovative safety feature which does the opposite of what you suggest . The car John Delorean copied from (which looked pretty much the same) was tagged the "worlds safest car". It even came in colourslabelled 'safety green' , ' safety red' etc
The gullwing doors were put there explicitly to make opening the doors easier when in close proximity to something else (e.g in a crash) Those doors extend from the car only 6 inches on their way up, whereas if you open a normal car door six inches you couldnt get a sheet of paper out , never mind a person!
probly dont work too well if its on its roof though :)
The vultures that bought the wreckage of the astrology company must have been over the moon to see that the whole internet was using their database to tell the time!
So are ICANN continuing to breach copyright? , or using a different source? or payingh royalties to the vultures.
Can you really trust a database made up by a bunch of astrologers???
you have an entertainning turn of phrase sir!

Although this would in my opinion destroy the data beyond retrieval , It wouldnt meet current standards. Mainly because you you didnt pay through the nose to have someone else do it - the difference being that person has a government EEE certificate.
I think they shred the drives , then feed them to shark with a frikkin laser on its head , that is then sent out sea 10 miles and detonated. This ensures safe data destruction.
Bloated! not kidding!
Never has a simple document reader got so far above itself , 100's of useless "features" that a simple document reader has no business having.
go back to .txt I say!
whenever an email is sent round our building with a pdf attached , or a link to one, there will always be half a dozen Adobe reader installations that have out of the blue decided to stop working , or stop being integrated in the right way.
Thing is NomNom, we're already totally reliant on fossil fuels.
I think from the extensive reading I've done on the subject we are heading for a giant size crash which will mean nothing less than the end of civilsation as we know it.
It'll go something like this:
-Fuel runs short
-hauliers go out of business, therefore other busineses fail
-people cant get to work
-nothing in the shops
-locally produced stuff in the grounded trucks sold off locally
-no fuel fuel for farmers - crops go unsewn/harvested
-people are getting hungry
-authorities struggling to retain order
-military efforts to secure new oil result in death all round and fail due to lack of fuel
-gangs roaming the streets scavenging what they can
- Fire, Brimstone, dogs and cats living together etc
The end
I dont know at what point someone (govt) might decide to build nuclear stations, or mass wind turbines, but the right time has already passed.
So if this little pocket of gas is going to cushion us, in the same way an airbag will save you if you car went off the cliffs ov dover, then all the better.

"The Partys Over" by Richard heisenberg
when this story was on the news last night , there was was a whiny greeny saying we shouldnt use the gas because "its fossil fuel" !!?!?!?
Doesent he know about the 80 million barrels of crude oil burned daily?
Does he have some secret answer to the energy imminent energy apocaypse that we dont know about?
I'm all for environmentalism , but I'm not worried about our greenhouse because i know the amount of fossil fuels we use is shortly going to decline a lot faster than we could ever have enforced on ourselves.
...And as a Blackpool resident - Yes bring it on , You can use my back yard!
Stick a few windmills up while your at it.
i had a few monitors at my house from last project like this, and I recently decided to remove all the spare CRT tellys from my house.
at the the end of the day, you cant give a CRT monitor or telly
tried free ads the local paper and freecycle , took a while but they eventually went on freecycle, the telly anyway - the perfect working order IBM 20" monitor had to go tip . ( recycle centre)
sorry Chris, not buyin it, agree with faceless man
my ex's abusive ex had no problem working out where i lived , by recognising her car, without the help of a shopping centre ANPR cam.
Also your your theory depends on the villian getting a call from the henchman informing him target is shopping - so what difference does it make where the car is?
Or if it does make a difference he could use the time honoured tradition of wondering round the car park looking for it, like the rest of us .
Once again , i cant see how this matters at the end of the day.
I mean, that data is also available to anyone who was standing outside the shopping centre all day.
So come on , someone give me clear cut example of how this is a disaster,
Paris , cos i'm obviously too stupid or niave
I'm intreaged, does it work as well as on a pc?
can you adjust the sensitvity etc?
can you map keys to controller functions in any combinations?
do you have to join special servers that permit that? or is it a transparent replacement?
can you play any game or special ones that arecoded for it ( like CS as mentioned above)
"everyone is lumbered with it." true but i still dont like it
For me the Mouse & Keyb system crossed a very important line - being able to control the game as fast as you can think, rather than waiting for the commands to take effect
(the newest analog consoles do provide for this, technically , but no human can control their hands on the analog range of those mushroom things as well as they can a mouse)
Theres a good reason they dont have cross platform fps games, a 4 year old with a mouse would easily pwn a veteran clan member on a console controller.
The anonymity offered by the internet really brings out the worst in people. They just run around on a verbal 'shooting spree' .
I was horrified this morning at the torrent of racial abuse commented on a particular video on youtube showing some indian chappies . I know thats where you find the worst kind of dickheads but i really was surprised by the vehemence , vulgarity and the quantity of racist remarks.
(i'm white btw)
These were people just hiding behind their youtube Nicks, The Reg seems to go a step further and offer this extra layer of "anonymous coward"
is there no accountability in the world?
Isnt shoplifting a copy the same as downloading it from a torrent?
apart from the cost of a disk and some cardboard ( 50p) ?
sorry to be pedantic )
true the lost sales dosent hold up completly, but if there are 100 pirate copies then maybe that represents 10 people who would have actually paid for it if there was no chioce.
does anybody ever stop to think if the data was actually dangerous?
if it was just a list of appointment times then who cares? although i suppose best to take the line all data is confidential.
...but i remember the days, when i was a kiddie in the 70's, BT used to publish what was known as a "directory" , and in it was everybody who had a phone's Name , Address and phone number!!!
ahhh, the memories , more innocent times eh?

Democracy in action!
all show and no go
they can talk the talk , but can they walk the walk? no
all the gear and no idea
--------------------------------------------------------
What a beutiful , simple , cheap idea this was to connect the populace to the government , to give a real feel of openess , communication , and democracy.
And now its "we've not got time" FFS these issues should go to the top of the queue, they are the ones that we , the people , their employers , ie thier boss, want discussing .Not whatever other naval gazing bullshit they had scheduled.
I guess they realised that some of the questions might be a bit unpleasant for them.
"You cannot extract enough information from a card to spend someone else's money," he stressed"
How can you spend your own money then? at the very least someone could grab whatever information IS available , put it on a blank rfrid chip and use it for free london transport.
