Re: What virtual F1 lacks

Dixons Carphone to shut down 134 shops

So. How long is the shop banner going to be?

So will these stores get renamed?

"CarphoneWarehouseCurrysPCWorld"

The ability to react professionally

4K catches fire with OTT streamers, while broadcasters burn

The BBC have stated in the past that 8K will be the final step in terms of the resolution debate and a limit in Biology. Therefore I'm just going to wait until 8K sets are reasonably priced.

1080p is good enough for me. I'd rather see investment getting more content in HD sorted first, ie getting off the SD broadcasts making HD standard.

Sky bangs on Ofcom's door – demands BT competition probe

Re: Without supporting Sky in any way...

Probably from the same place that the Government gets them. Overpriced and usually with a complete misunderstanding of IT themselves, hence the usual cock-up.

"Those that cannot 'do anything specific' or 'teach'; Manage IT projects"

UK.gov spaffed billions into IT projects at 'high risk of failure' last year

Those that cannot 'teach' or 'do'. Project Manage. I had a senior IT project manager ask me how best to describe a service request to provide access to a new system hosted by a council via Citrix..... Its obvious why these all fail. Especially the NHS unified patient db.

Bring on HL 3!

Is lightspeed really a limit?

Light is.. just light?

photons travel at their natural speed without any extra input.. We can break the sound barrier... beating photons in a race shouldnt be that hard... be interesting to see what happens when you approach the FTL barrier.. does everything get blurry and then blackout?

Ubisoft: 'Vast majority of PC gamers are PIRATES'

They'll have to try harder...

Most games are built around the multiplayer side these days and well, why pay for a game that gonna be hacked in a couple of days anyway.. Why pay £29.99 for an 18+ rated FPS only for a 13yr old to scream and swear at you?
