Nominet to release super-short domain names

What's the point?

Geez, I'm so glad there will be .uk addresses. It takes so much unnecessary effort to type in the .co before it

1984 film classification law gets reboot

Why do they even bother

When I were a lad ... films received an 18 rating for Arnie cutting his eye out in Terminator or a flash of boob. Now something like that is lucky to get a 15, you go to the cinema and it's full of 12 year olds chucking sweets about so why bother classifying it at all?

Also, a couple of button presses on the internet and there's someone chuffing his load in some chicks face, kids have seen it all before,

World braces for Lindsay Lohan sex tape

Surprise!!

Oh boo hoo. Didums, I can't imagine the mental torment she must be suffering, the poor wee lass ... after all, we've all seen her beaver getting out of a car.

If you're going to allow yourself to be filmed bestowing an intimate blessing upon a rather long member of the opposite gender then don't be surprised if it rears its ugly head on the internet for cash, especially if you become as famous, hot and slutty as - say - Lindsay Lohan.

Knuckle rap for riot shield sledging coppers

Lazy so and sos

No time to look for my bike that got nicked but plenty of time for sledging hey?

I'm so glad my taxes are paying for them to go sledging during work time instead of helping the elderly do their shopping or clear their paths in all this snow. Wonder if you'd like your water rates to pay for me to go sledging too?

I'm with Supt Andrew Murray on this one, do some work you lazy layabouts

Mozilla teases surfers with near-final version of Firefox 3.6

Noticed the same

What we want is something fast, 64bit, muticore support. Back to the original ethos of FF - fast, stable, secure. It does seem to be getting a bit bloaty lately. Now there's something to change the look of it with a single mouse click. How useful is that not going to be?

Southampton chap lodges todger in steel pipe

How? Why?

Unless he had the 3" pipe up to the hilt and the other 9" hanging out the end.

Wonder how long it took to pluck up the courage to go to hospital and show someone what he'd done with a 3" length of pipe and his herman gelmet

Firefox 3.7 to feel need for speed with multicore boost

3.7?

We're still on version 3.5.7, concentrate on getting 3.6 out before you start feeding us titbits about the release after the next one.

In version 10.2 we'll have realistic 3D holographic images. All together now ... Wooooooo!

Asus goes wide with Bang & Olufsen laptop

More money than sense

More nice styling you pay well over the odds for? Isn't that why we have Apples?

Oh yeah, I forgot, Apples work some times and don't fall apart after the warranty runs out so there is a gap in the market for rich people to swank off about something that looks nice, will go wrong and cost a fortune to repair.

Looks nice though

Westfield opens kimono on EV Cup racer

Meh

Meh Meh Meh!

Westfield have made some of the lightest and most fun cars ever made for the road and the track ... now this publicity stunt

It's not road legal, it's heavy, only good for 55 miles from a full charge. Give me a bike engined Westie SEiW any day over that ... anyone want to buy my old kit car to fund it?

Plod to retain personal data from DNA innocents

The begining of the end

The time has come when our DNA will be used to create half-man, half-pig bird snakes who will commit crimes with our fingerprints and leave our DNA behind to falsely imprison us and steal our identities to take out huge loans in our name.

Grow up Britain and stop worrying about everything. If we let criminals out and don't keep tabs on them we'll winge, if we do keep tabs on them we'll winge. If this prevents one serious crime then I'm all up for having my DNA stored on the big bad database

Research suggests Wii Fit is no flab fighter

Shocker!

You mean computer simulated exercise isn't as good as exercise?

You know what would be better than a Wii? A walk/ jog/ run in the fresh air. Get off your backsides and do some proper exercise. GF's lost 2 stone over the last year and gone from a size 16 to a 12 by eating smaller portions and getting more exercise. It's hardly rocket science

Google chief: Only miscreants worry about net privacy

Hang on ....

I wouldn't mind someone rifling through photos of the 2005 works christmas do, what I have on my computer would be totally uninteresting to anyone.

I'm sick of all this wailing and bleating about privacy, it's one big over-reaction. If you own a credit card their file tracking what and where you buy doesn't attract this kind of attention. You have been tracked all your life through the education system, cctv cameras, your workplace, national insurance number, car registration, mobile phone company and now you complain the internet is doing it?

Grow up world and get on with your lives, they're not after your bank account so Mr google can spend the paltry savings you've scraped together or nick your fingerprints so he can commit crimes in your name. If you don't like it use another search provider. Simple as that. It's not like you're being forced to use google.

Eat frozen food and avoid line-caught fish, says eco study

Missing the point

When will the eco-hippies understand the problem isn't lines or nets, it's not carbon footprints, there are simply too many people on the planet for the resources to support.

Reduce the birthrate, reduce the number of mouths to feed and we can all chew as much fuel, gadgets and food as we like.

Still, I'm not having kids, I don't care
