Saudis to execute Sri Lankan teen

doh

and I so wanted to say "in before - what's the it angle" legitmately *sigh* maybe next time.

Speedy evolution saves blue moon butterflies

lol

the title says it all.

Student's suspension for IM buddy icon upheld by US court

lol

and this is why kids are crazy in the states and go around shooting people, seriously who wouldn't go demented in such a retarded nation.

Long gone are the days of playing doom using skins of your most hated teachers (O the lols of "I've fallen and I can't get up" coming from the headmaster). Who at school didn't know someone (or was the someone) who doodled cartoons of getting one up on teachers.

I've since drawn cartoons including the obliteration of several senior figures at a certain electricity company, my own managers and various others. Such things are a way of blowing off steam and having a good lol at people to far off to touch.

Anyway another sign of the good old usa being crazy, much like that unfortunate teacher and the porn pop ups. Evidence? Crimes? who needs such things to disrupt peoples lives in a Mcarthyesque era.

You're all extremists bent on the destruction of good solid christian values and you will all be found guilty (at least that seems to be the opinion of the state.)

Yahoo!'s pink liberation army a threat to America's youth

Well trolled

well trolled indeed.

Icebergs collect mini ecosystems, lock up carbon

well

more proofs that none of these ecogeeks have a clue what's going?

The worlds been around for a looooooong time, and it will continue to be around for a longer time, and nobody really has a clue how the world deals with things, nobody can fathom how it cycles, filters and maintains itself. We're just passangers on this ship and nothing we do can match up to the way it balances itself.

We give ourselves too much credit.

Post Office loses Amazon contract

good

royal mail are a bunch of ------- it's funny that there is never anyone at home to sign for things when they deliver at 10am Mondays to Fridays and you can't reschedule for a Saturday delivery.

Royal mail = fine if you don't work normal hours.

Can't wait for the day they never blight my door again.

Investigators find secret White House email accounts

Trolled

^ anon - awful troll, but so many people fed it O.O

UK mulls drink-drive limit cut

better idea

How about we ban drinking! All together, just outlaw it, then you couldn't drink drive *nods* and you wouldn't get liver damage either - it's a flawless plan!

While we're at it we could reduce the number of traffic accidents by 100% if we banned driving! It's for our own good.

Also I think that tripping over is a big risk to people, so walking should be banned. Talking can upset people so that should also be banned.

Looking at porn of course means you want to have sex! And if you want to have sex you may want to either A: rape people or B: have sex with children. So we should ban that too. It's for our own good.

Infact new government policy is that all humans should be kept in growth tanks and fed introveniously whilst watching reruns of lazy town. This will reduce crime and accidents to zero and everyone will be safe.

10 reasons why the Black Hats have us outgunned

uplink

makes me want to play uplink again lol.

Iran approves death penalty for pornographers

O No, wait o

O you said Iran, for a moment I had it confused with our own do gooding nannying nation. But don't worry we're sure to follow suit soon.

Macs are more secure: official

GAMEZZZZ

I always liked the spoof I saw where the smug mac was boring us to death and the pc guy simply went

"Well.... I can do GAMEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ GAMEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ GAMEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ"

I think it sums it up really.

YouTube, Disney to trial copyright takedown software next month

Anyone remember napster

the slow demise of a really rather handy service. I only use youtube to watch music videos of people you'd never see on western TV. Much like I use bittorrent to get hold of shows that wont be out for years (if ever) and if they do come out will be charged at £20 a dvd with only 90 minutes of entertainment per DVD and upto 9 DVDs a series.There are far better things to spend £180 on. Now if there was a TV channel showing what i liked for £20 a month I'd pay it (as long as it wasn't dubbed and it was only a few months behind the origonal releases. This however will never happen.)

You can see youtube going the same way as napster, but there is always a new place to get stuff that isn't worth any money (except in the deluded world of executives and lawyers) the world post-napster just lead to a greater spread of places for us to get stuff from.

Armed cops in Lara Croft bust action

lol

more examples of the retarded state of our legal system, the fact that he filed a complaint about getting nuisance calls and is now charged with firearms offences just sums up the discusting state of justice in Britain.

So porn, lolicon and not answering your door will all land you in jail. It's only a small step to violent computer games and movies getting you arrested too.

Virgin faces customer exodus over Sky battle

pile of s--t

I live in Milton Keynes, no signal of any sort, you either must have sky or virgin.

Before when it was NTL you paid £3 and you got sky one fair enough it has like four shows I watch and you got a generally decent signal.

Now the great t--t Branson has come along swinging his microscopic penis and now I get Hallmark instead... have you watched hallmark? It's less worth watching then QVC, suffice to say my unrestricted unmetered internet connection has been very busy since. O also for the privelage of not watching TV anymore I now must pay £4...

So glad that useless W----r bought NTL... Really cheers me up.

Role-players amok in Second Life

Roleplay

It actually sounds like SL is the only place I've seen in a long time that actual roleplaying occurs as it sure doesn't happen in all the grinding games (WoW, RF, RS, etc, etc)

Roleplaying isn't about stats and numbers those simply give a frame work to resolve actions in more complex games, roleplaying is about storytelling and interactions. Roleplaying is just cowboys and indians played by grownups.

Most "rpgs" and "mmorpgs" arn't in anyway shape or form a real roleplaying game and don't offer a roleplaying experiance.

Let's face it as a GM you're always shocked when instead of following you're well laid out adventure all the players decide to head off on a complete tangent and go sun bathing in Hawaii. Just can't happen in most of these rpg games, it's "kill the monsters, get the item, gain the xp, pown some noob, repeat" and more often then not it's "kill monster, kill monster... 100 monsters later congratulations you have improved by10%..."

So for once SL almost sounds interesting, but I don't think proper RP will be about online for a long time yet. Other then in IRC lol and forums.

Vonage admits it can't avoid Verizon patents

title of some sort.

""yes: US patent issues are adjudicated by jury." Is there a point to this comment?"

Well yes as the idea that very technical issues are decided by a group of dimwitted American citizens as opposed to experts of some description is pretty lol worthy.

But anyway it's just an other eample of how uncapitalist the States really are, and how retarded their overly broken patent system is, and the EC want to make ours more like theirs lol, soon no new technology companies will be able to come into play (lol amazon one click).

Wanna copy of Windows XP next year? Forget it

heh

Not suprising - but in a home environment, who cares just pirate xp. It's better then getting the vista aids.

At work, stock up on those volume licenses *shrugs*

Sadly as long as you like rts or other strategy games you need windows, and the windows that gives best performance in this area is XP.

but yeah Vista = Me2

Sony US yanks 20GB PlayStation 3

didn't learn anything from "core" then

the 20gb version was never going to sell, much like the xbox 360 core version which appeared in gamestation windows on the same day as the 360s release as people went "lol I don't want this shizz."

"budget" versions were an absolute waste of components that could of gone into the European market months ago, but heyho we Europeans get stuff late and get overcharged for the privillage.

Darfur genocide mapped from space

you know

I fail to see why we should care?

We don't run the country and we don't live on the borders of the country.

If we got directly involved we'd end up in another quagmire. If they want to butcher each other then let them it's not our problem nor is it our fault.

Imperial guilt is something people like to hold over the west but but it's junk and just another example of lilly minded left-wingers trying to go "o it's not they're fault, it's our fault"

"It's the websites fault kids "bully" teachers online and get away with it becouse they can upload videos."

"It's societies fault kids are abusive and violent becouse we don't give them enough respect."

"It's the wests fault that African countries are poor and spend a large amount of their time killing each other becouse of the empires and business."

"It's our fault black kids fail at school becouse of slavery."

I could go on and on and on. It's not our fault, it's not our problem, we have enough problems of our own to deal with.

UK.gov tells websites to stop bullies

I think

A victorian nanny had a hell of a lot more power then a modern teacher!

Yet another example of government lolz and a reluctance of anyone to except responsibility, we could be talking about porn, piracy, hooliganism, drinking, etc, etc, etc...

Now days there are retarded concepts like "respect agenda" where the govenrment/public services just give sniviling brats respect. I remember having to earn respect, but in these heady days such a concept as "earning" something is lost. I'm not talking about a long time ago either 86 to 96 ish, although by the end of sixth form you knew that relatively disciplined time was well and truely over when a 1st year blocked your way and went "wot r u lookin at?" a retard obviously.

But like one website said "How about you just ban mobile phones in schools?"

How about we give teachers the power to deal with these hooligans? How about using the law against them? If nothing else they've breached privacy laws, sue their filthy families into the ground. It's about time we stopped treating children like adults.

IPPR wants health warnings for planes

lets face it

Shipping creates far more pollution then flying, that's before we get onto the extended pollution caused by producing and maintaining shipping fleets in comparision to maintaining an aircraft.

Also livestock makes more co2 then planes.

Driving creates more pollution, if the country had a 1/5th adequate integrated public transport network we'd more then make up for the extra flying.

The whole pressure on the air industry has only one result stopping poorer people from traveling abroad. It wont effect people with higher wages really, or people on business trips, but it will effect people (working/lower middleclass folk) who want to take the family to disney land.

Production of most "eco-fuels" generally creates more pollution then most non eco fules.

Lets face it we scrap the coal/oil plants and build nuclear, and we implement carbon storage. It's the only way to go, but the crazy hippies don't like that idea. So we'll keep on cruising with lol worthy generally very expensive measures that shall do nothing.

Have "green" taxes stopped people driving? It's a crock of poop, made by hippies who think that living in mud huts and reaching a grand old age of 45 is a great way of life.

Technobullies on the rise in school yard stripping games

lol

I felt tempted to use the "post anonymously" ticky, since when has this been a new problem.

It's well known that if a couple have mucky pictures of one or other (mucky video tapes/dvds/files even) it will at the point of a brakeup go public. It will probably go public when the boyfriend has a bunch of drunken mates around too.

Anyone watched trainspotting? The Pam Am video? Paris Hilton?

Tshhh spend money on something useful for Gods sake.

Teens get way harsh on MySpace

well

we all know the optimum responce to such things online is

"Lol - I gave you aids."

Utah backs calls to boot porn from Port 80

lol

This has now become the most retarded thing I've read today, I thought the car game thing was gonna hold that title, but oooo no.

The internet is what it is becouse people wanted their porn faster and better, better image and video compression, flashy sites. Long ago you had two things online, geekyness and boobs. People don't like going into shops to buy their smut, and there has been a long line of innovation towards getting more smut with less human interaction.

But then we all know the yanks hate porn, it's their number one hate, blow some dudes head off? Snort a few lines of coke and shoot up some smack, go ahead, drive by shootings, run some ho over, no problem. Consentually nob your girlfriend HELL NO NOT IN OUR US OF A you can shoot her in the face with a semi automatic pistol whilest stamping on her grandma, but you can't make love to her (the girlfriend not the grandma lol).

I love those crazy yanks. All hail porn bringer of streaming media, jpegs, video chat and all the other mighty wonders of the net.

lol drama llamas

Racing games increase real world crashes

meh

too many researchers not enough real things to research, all of the little parasites are just looking for the next bull---- news title and a few equally s--t press conferences.

Can't wait for the court cases "I drove like a retard and ran people over coz I played a game" says retarded chav so claims diminished responsibility.

THE GAMES AND MOVIES MADE ME DOOO IT O.O

These pointless prats should jump into an ocean and do the world a favour.

Plus if a game doesn't excite you it's a pretty rubbish game ¬.¬ garghh why don't they do some real research. Tshhh

Joss Stone pays price for Brits train crash

huh

Who? Why does anybody care?

AXA grabs ink with business crime league table

However

Most people are paid by companies (so most income tax, council tax and VAT pretty much directly comes from companies), most companies also pay a National insurance and a paye contribution for each employee they pay.

Most people working in the public secter are in turn paid by taxes which mostly come from income tax which again mostly comes from Companies.

EC agrees to cut carbon, fumbles renewables deal

Of late

I've been curious about several things so I did a bit of digging, one thing I found was a list of temperatures from greenland for the last 49 thousand years. Turns out there have been plenty of times in just the past ten thousand years when the little island has been far warmer then it is now (by a good 2 to four degrees.)

Makes you think when you see data like that what's really going on in the world. Hmmmm I wonder. Perhaps people should stop listening to government and global warming movement scientists and start looking at hard numbers.

But no, nevar, the media, scientists, global warming monitoring expecters and the like all need the fear generated by the end of the world far more then realism.

Did you know mosqutos thrived in cold climates? Shocking.

Also apparently it's getting hotter on Mars! Damn those pesky martian factories ¬.¬ we'll need to put a ban on them.

Sky goes dark for Virgin Media

Milton Keynes T.T

here in MK we don't have a real choice, the terreteral TV reception is almost zero in the city and most houses don't have arials. Everybody has ntl going into there house and it's the only way to get tv and ntl charges everybody £3 basic rate with which you get sky one and some freeview channels and the standard 5.

So the question is, shall I be able to just stop paying ntl becouse I'm no longer getting any pay content off of them?

Japan scrubs Antarctic whale hunt

Lets hunt tree hugging hippies instead

It'd be fun and I bet they'd taste better anyway.

Sure it proberbly wouldn't be much sport what with afformentioned hippies not owning any spines. But it could be a laugh for a little while.

I think the hippies should all go live in the jungle while they can and leave the rest of us to our own devices.

P.S. me and my mates want to do a world tour eating as many endangered and cute animals as possible. Whale is high up our list (even though it apparently tastes terrible.)

Dutch demand ban of virtual child porn in Second Life

well

I have to say that people shouldn't use the whole

"It's better them doing it in second life then in real life" tatt

Becouse 99.99% or the people who do roleplay these things would never ever do it in real life anyway and the 0.01% of people who would are proberbly already doing it.

And we should all remember that most child molestation occurs within the family by parents, uncles, aunts, grand parents and first cousins.

All this other stuff is a smoke screen to hide us from the truth, to place the fear on the bogeyman the phantom childmolesting curtain twithcer.

For every one kid hurt by a stranger there are likely dozens, if not hundreds hurt by a family member/close family friend.

heh

Start of Lolz

I suppose these "experts" are the same sort of people that believe playing GTA and Marilyn Manson leads to people going on deranged killing rampages...

Now do I think the whole area is a bit sick, sure, do I think it shouldn't be allowed in public view, sure, do I think it should result in legal precedings and deranged accusations? No.

I know some people who have some pretty crazy fantasies, one person has this thing for being eaten alive while having sex with something. I know some others who have this thing about penis so big they split woman in two. I know this one lass who has a thing for grinding body parts up.

Pretty crazy, scary stuff. However they're all very normal folk, with normal jobs, who have normal sex in normal ways with normal people. It's just everynow and again whilst strumming the bean or spanking the monkey they think about some REALLY demented things. They write odd fiction or draw peculiar pictures. *shrugs*

But that's the thing, there is a distinct difference between real and fantasy, all these "experts" do is provide excuses for truely deviant people who have lost touch with what it is to be a human being.

And where does it stop, virtual pedophilia, virtual bestiality, virtual murder, virtual rape, virtual S&M, virtual GBH, virtual Tentical rape?

If I were playing a tentical monster that rapes a large number of (prearranged willing) loli at once then what? Am I a pedophilic tentical monster? The possibilities are mind bogling, "Cthullu was yesterday arrested for molesting twelve loli at once with his huge tenticals, he was also accused of mass murder and bringing about a virtual apocolypse." He is to server 7 billion consecutive terms for virtual murder, and 12 terms for raping a virtual minor.

end of lolz

O well, funny stuff.
