North Americans just don't steal handsets, apparently...

@Wonderkid

You don't have an analysis you just spouted uninformed right wing rant. You think it's appropriate to incarcerate people for decades because they steal mobile phones and that this process is "working". The US prison population is currently in excess of 2.38million which is a sign of a degenerate society in extreme crisis. 25% of black males will serve time in prison because of institutional racism and enforced generational poverty. It's not helped by uneducated reactionary types with no perspective whining for insane sentences for minor crimes.

You can tell he's a schmuck from his lame TED appearance.

Please stop. You can't rely on silly hollywood movies for all your knowledge, your nonsense is painful.

Missing Webroot founder found dead

What a tool, all that money and he couldn't even get his head shrunk, pathetic.

Raptor and Eurofighter go head to head

Stupid old losers

See how they live in the past, pathetic. The bang bang zoom whoosh machines of the stone age are a joke. All that needs to be done these days is for China to halt exports to a country for a couple of weeks. No need for rockets or knuckledraggers with guns or stupid expensive flying machines. All the WWII types are dead so the only clowns still interested in this kind of bullshit are victims of too much Victor and Battle Action as children. And of course the american criminals who make money from fear, an apparently endless resource in the failed ex-colonies.

Guns are for people with tiny malfunctioning cocks and religions are for people with tiny malfunctioning brains. That country is a Jim Davidson joke, crude, sexist and unfunny. Give them all guns and let them clear the place out for the new owners.

Getty dips into Flickr to beef up photo stock

Finally

At last I'll be rightly reimbursed for all those pictures of my bollocks I've been uploading. Do they pay by the inch or the pound, or is it some metric system?

BBC must reveal EastEnders costs

Don't fuck with the BBC

Look at SKY, now look at the BBC.

Now kneel down in front of your TV and apologise to the BBC for ever thinking such terrible thoughts about it. The BBC is more religion than corporate entity. Saint Ezterranzen saved the people from false profits. Saint David Attenborough, OM, CH, CVO, CBE, FRS, FZS compiled a bestiary for his people. Vic'n'Bob drank 75 pints while singing for children's charity.

Hawkeye technology turns tennis into a cartoon

It seems from the general level of cantankerous displeasure running through the article that a dab of the right stuff in the right place may be called for.

All the old Blanc and non-Blanc signs are probably sitting in a government warehouse in SA.

Asahi premiers pint-pulling robo-barman

@Craig McC

The worst possible pint of Guinness is served in Toners. They just pull it straight in a full pint and then you have to watch it settle and then taste it. It tastes like metal filings mixed with the bitterness of disappointment. The 2/3 pint pause gives a decent head which doesn't immediately go nicotine brown and flatten to a millimetre in height.

Guinness have instituted a task force which goes round the pubs checking for clean beer lines and doing refresher pint pulling courses for the more imbecilic barmen.

Google plugs YouTube into Playstation 3

Real world

In the real world there are two candidates for the job Mediatomb and Twonkyvision. Twonky seems to work OK except it doesn't do transcoding which means the ultra picky PS3 will not play the vast majority of movies including some h264 jobbies. Twokyvision will also kill your network if you have it scanning large directories (even on a tiny 320GB drive).

Mediatomb will use VLC to transcode on the fly to a suitable format. So they say. To set it up, especially to install it on a NAS is erm quite fiddly.

I'm happy enough with my XBMC on an XBox for the moment but without doubt PS3 and HDMI is the better solution, just not quite yet. This google thingy may be the solution but until it transcodes and runs on linux/osX it won't be a killer solution. Still it does give Google Desktop a reason to exist.

DOJ sinks another EliteTorrent admin

Utility computing's 'dirty little secret'

@SG

Please stop with the outdated notions. Charge customers for the service not for the software, it's really really simple and if you don't get it that's because you're stupid not because the open source model doesn't work. As a newbie you probably haven't been in the business long enough to know how it works but the price always tends toward zero.

San Franciscans prep monument to US prez

@Robert Scott

Bravo, fantastic work. I particularly liked the 5 raped women bit, I hadn't heard that one before. The problem with your post is, well executed as it is, is that certain sections of the septic isles think exactly like that. It's impossible to satirize them they are completely mad. I've read through the comments on Anne Coulter posts and to quote Frank O'Connor "It was like a long slow swim through a sewage bed". A lot of those people would post what you did in complete earnest, the crazy rat bastard idiots.

EU Commission plots to end rip-off Britain online

It's not the EU

It's the way the UK govt implements the EU directives which is utter bollocks. Some new regulation comes in whereby a farmer has to perform some task every three or four months on each and every piece of livestock. In most of the EU he'll receive a subsidy allowing him to hire an extra guy for the job but not in blighty. That's why so many small farmers end their careers by gobbling a shotgun blast. Fucking civil servant wankers.

Nvidia blows out Moore’s Law with fresh Tesla

It's allabout the flops

It wouldn't have been a big deal to actually go and interview some heavy duty research freaks from a UNI. Ask them what they thought of the performance and bang for buck when it comes to calculating how many spheres fit into a cube or whatever.

Surely the opinions of people who have to do hard sums every day is better than the delusional ramblings of a bunch of old men fondly remembering a child's toy.

BBC deploys the Tw*t-O-Tron

@Mike Smith

Regarding gobshite usage. Gobshite is a title or job description rather than a substance. Correct usage is "That fucking gobshite is for a hiding" or "Which one of you gobshites was talking about my Ma". It's not used in the sense of I've got gobshite on my boots. (unless it's bits of hair and skin, scraped from a gobshite). A gobshite talks shite (or occasionally bollocks) and you could say was talking shite, but not talking gobshite. It's the same as Frenchman really.

Congressmen say Chinese hacked their PCs

D'you like dags, capitalist dags

Having the Chinese take over is probably the only cure for USAyness. Lets face it the yanks are falling further away from the European model and degenerating into barbarians faster than they can build rockets (Predator in CH11). Whatever fructose and poison induced craziness is going on in the US, stupidity now rules with an iron fist, even compared to the McCarthy days.

The Chinese hopefully will put some discipline on their new possessions and the southern states get to see the return of their beloved slavery albeit in a slightly different format.

It's either that or sub contract the Russians to nuke the US, but then there's the environmental problems.

Navy sonar dolphin 'massacre' - the facts

Gullible Reg

So if the navy had hard documentary evidence that some kind of sonar or suchlike was in fact screwing with marine life, you're contending they'd publicise the information rather than conceal it. That would be a break with tradition given how many innocent fishermen have been dragged to their death by submarines over the years.

US bars ID refuseniks from planes - but not ID losers

More money for Canada and Mexico

Surely meeting yanks for a meeting should be done in Canadia. Refusing to enter the US is a pretty reasonable thing to do these days. Unless the Canuks have rolled over.

MPs urge action as spooky caller ID-faking services hit UK

It must be cool

Look at all this unanimous fucking whinging by all the constipated types. Oh no teh callerid is lies!!1! So what.

It increases the anonymity and freedom of the average Joe Public and allows kids to drive anyone they like demented.

British workaholics win EU opt out deal

No really compete with the Chinese

Just eat shitty food, think that a moped is a status symbol and kill your kids until you have a son who will have to marry a ridiculously spoiled bitch.

Soon you'll be so competitive you'll be dossng down under your desk and you can have a day off every 2 weeks. Naturally all those hospitals will have to make a profit too.

Next get rid of that pesky minimum wage and all those stupid health and safety regulations.

Phoenix chokes on 'clumpy' Martian soil

Waste of time

Lets go to Mars to find water with a machine which can only handle dry sand and dust and is completely useless with mud. Another masterpiece of committee driven buck passing non planning.

21000 unique samples per day, every day. There isn't that much unique spam never mind virii. Looks like someone used to work in advertising.

US nuke boffins smash petaflop barrier with 'Roadrunner'

Err

They need all that power to check if a nuke is stale or fresh. Isn't there a boffin with a Geiger counter and a slide rule who could figure that one out? I mean if it's 10 megatons or 9.7 it isn't that important.

Also seeing as this information is coming from the US shouldn't it be assumed to be a lie, almost everything they say is a crock of shit why should this claim be any different. They're already fighting a propaganda war with the Chinese.

Asus quietly demos Eee Box

DVI to hdmi is just a question of using an adapter cable hdmi is DVI plus a few extra bits for sound and control. Haven't seen a dvi + audio -> hdmi yet.

NASA chief: Europe should have own astronaut ship

@Pass the buck

Go back to editing wikipedia you're absolutely and totally wrong.

For a start the ATV is attached to the ISS for months, it's rated for human occupancy. The Ariane was developed to launch the Hermes and so is completely rated for human safety. That'd be the opposite of what you said.

Also the design is European rather than the laughable dross the septics slap together. Looks like they're fucked without NAZI's and Russian engine developments.

What the fat mouthed Griffen is doing is pissing off the Russians. Which is bright of him because the Chinese will piss themselves laughing when he has to go cap in hand begging for a lift. This stupid Mars folly is ridiculous, the Moon is the target.

US air force chiefs sacked in robot-armada brouhaha

Why can't we all just get along?

Why don't the fucking morons stop building pointless shitloads of weapons playing stupid monkey games from the past. How much of the us money gets fucked down the military money shredder every year? No wonder the country is full of retards.

Google silences Android critics

Hopefully Android will work unlike the vast majority of googles big talk stuff which remains shitty and unused.

UK is not a surveillance society, MPs claim

Lying criminal bastards

All you're seeing is the backwash. They've been spying so long and hard for their septic masters they just can't help but bring their work home with them. Echelon works so well it'd be a shame not to apply it in blighty as well as outside.

Amazon.com's US site KO'd!

Chinamen

I pulled my tinfoil hat down over my ears and I could hear a secret morse code message, it just kept repeating Chinamen...Chinamen...Chinamen. So clearly it's a Russian attack, cleverly trying to put the blame on the Chinese, but they can't fool me oh no siree bob.

Security militia sought to brutalize ransomware virus

Bounty

A bounty equal to the ransom either for the key or the chaps who wrote this thing. Then you still have to pay, but the money doesn't go to the perpetrators.

That'd be the rest of Europe except Ireland, seeing as how we use the three pronged jobbies here too.

Ofcom slaps MTV with £255k fine

2 complaints

Why does ofcom have the power to apply censorship based on noone actually giving a shit. Why are two complaints sufficient for this draconian bollocks, if they applied that criteria to the government or the cops we would all be quids in.

World+dog ignores Sweden's Draconian wiretap bill

@AC

Motherfucking echelon, those greasy bastards. If all the spooks worldwide were executed tomorrow the whole world would become a MUCH safer place. The majority of funding for terrorism comes from drug money rerouted by spys. It's the CIA modus operandi and I'm sure the other fucking assclowns in the various spook groups do the same. These crazy paranoid parasites are the real problem with their civil service mentality. Yes Minister with poison gas.

EU security agency warns over insecure printing

@nomen

Lisbon will be passed by a convincing margin. Read the treaty rather than xenophobe interpretations.

Printing is primitive stuff, it should be possible to throw a load of "paper" into a washing machine and then dry and press it back into blocks of a4,

Over half of US HD TV owners blurry on Blu-ray

The fact that you're impoverished really has nothing to do with the technical merits of Blu-ray. Carry on with your wife's feet jammed wherever you like but really money talks and ... well, you know who you are.
