Commented on Replica Monty Python hand grenade causes bomb scare in London
They should have been more worried about the killer rabbit. They go for the throat, you know!...
Commented on London imposes de-facto 9PM curfew on under-16s
At the risk of stating the blindingly obvious, under-16s already face serious restrictions on their personal liberty. The government requires them to go to school, for one thing, and their parents get to tell them what to do. I fully...
Commented on Czech artist tells European Union to lighten up
It seems a lot of folks just completely don't get it. Here's the "Dick and Jane" explanation. Vaclav Klaus, the Czech prime minister, is an ardent Eurosceptic who views Brussels in approximately the same light that an Appalachian survivalist militaman...
Commented on I Dream of CES: Your Input Requested, With or Without Kitteh Assistance.
More KITTEH! In these times of Woe, kitteh are a lot more useful than consumer electronics. They can be a hot water bottle, an entertainment device or, should things get desperate, a meal replacement and a pair of furry winter...
Commented on Arab shoe-tossing isn't a gesture of friendly affection
Sorry Cory, I have to agree with Blwant - yes, it's obviously not a complimentary gesture, but the point is that shoe throwing has a specific meaning in the cultures of the region. It's apparently a recognised way to express...
Commented on Palin hears rally attendee call Obama "n-word" during speech, keeps on truckin'.
I'm not personally any variety of Palin fan, but even assuming the recording shows what the "headline" says, I can't fault her. She's making a speech in front of a lot of people. Assuming she has heard it, the shouted...
Commented on US gov wants data on Europe air passengers
It's actually all a bit irrelevant for EU citizens - the USG is busy pressuring EU members (starting with the UK) to turn over (sorry, "share") all the biometric data collected on their citizens. In Britain's case, that means all...
Commented on Proposal to extend Euro copyright, and to force ISPs to spy on customers dies! EPIC FAIL!
Glad my e-mail to my MEPs wasn't wasted!...
Commented on Wubi: Install Ubuntu on Windows like installing an app
Nice idea for all the reasons Cory gives. The big problem for me in using any linux distribution, and Ubuntu specifically, is that I don't have a cable connection to my home router and my wireless card (extremely common Broadcom...

Takuan commented on London imposes de-facto 9PM curfew on under-16s
apart from a society and economy so dysfunctional that so many kids live in poverty, what I find distressing about this curfew is that it is yet another expression of a police state machine that has woken up and become independent of any human directives. I don't see any Sutler, any cabal, anyone at all to clearly point to as the author and driving engine of a relentless stripping of basic civil rights and freedoms. Restrictive measures like this one should be resisted as a matter of principle until the tide is turned in the current inundation of liberty. You've...
TroofSeeker commented on London imposes de-facto 9PM curfew on under-16s
MDH: "Troof, are you blaming alcohol or your father for the neglect? Sounds like you blame the drinking. I've never been arrested, I blame my father too. Blame? Neglect? None of that. My dad was always fair, and I've respected and loved him all my life. I was always out at night, often all night, and a few times the cops caught me. They knew us 'Seeker' boys all too well. The only electrical appliance in the bedroom I shared was the light. It was boring, so I went out. My older brother was a biker, so he had worn...

Good thing London's got all those sticky-beak cameras, eh? ohohohohohoh! Looking at the footage for those teeeeeeeerrrrrrrrorists, those naughty teeeeeeeerrrrrrrrorists, eh? Nudgenudge, winkwink 'e said, knowingly. Oooooo yes, quite holy, innit?...
