That's cool.

I went to an event at futuresonic, didn't see this though.

This is a copypasta from one of the comments in the BBC's thread.

You can ask they remove your details under the Data protection Act:
Right to prevent processing likely to cause damage or distress (1) Subject to subsection (2), an individual is entitled at any time by notice in writing to a data controller to require the data controller at the end of such period as is reasonable in the circumstances to cease, or not to begin, processing, or processing for a specified purpose or in a specified manner, any personal data in respect of which he is the data subject, on the ground that, for specified reasons -
(a) the processing of those data or their processing for that purpose or in that manner is causing or is likely to cause substantial damage or substantial distress to him or to another, and (b) that damage or distress is or would be unwarranted.
(2) Subsection (1) does not apply -
(a) in a case where any of the conditions in paragraphs 1 to 4 of Schedule 2 is met, or (b) in such other cases as may be prescribed by the Secretary of State by order.
(3) The data controller must within twenty-one days of receiving a notice under subsection (1) (¿the data subject notice¿) give the individual who gave it a written notice - (a) stating that he has complied or intends to comply with the data subject notice, or (b) stating his reasons for regarding the data subject notice as to any extent unjustified and the extent (if any) to which he has complied or intends to comply with it.

Not that much.

I hate that they've made the Olympics politcal, it shouldn't be, it's sport.

Secondly, the chinese, like every other nation before it that have had similar problems, can only be changed from within.

There's also sex in God of War for PSP. 333Mhz of hardcore MFF action.

Who cares tbh, if kids play this game and kill some whores, I'd be the first to point my finger to the kid's parents.

Everyone who has played an MMO ever, has definitely played more than 25 hours.

Doesn't he die like every year? I swear that there's a story about his death every so often.

@#5:

"The prohibition on owning child pornography is because child pornography is, usually, photographs of children being abused."

I'd go as far as saying that 99% of child porn is cartoon, hentai porn.

Thanks!!

Excellent post, RFID should stay where it was intended, in warehouses and production lines!

Looking forward to Unitiled 2

Favourited :)

4 weeks paid leave or something for the Cop?

The title of this post is hugely misleading.

You can't "brick" a frankenmac. But there's no support for it.

Nice, but it's got 28GB less ram than it should have. :(

@ #17:

You are my hero. Thanks !!!!

Pitchfork ratings SHOULD never be part of any algorithm to decide popular music.

Come on.

Pitchfork would probably rate themselves a 4. And that would be GOOD!

That's right... all the tea.

Looks like Varnassi is not on the list (yet?).

But I'm pretty sure that they're from here:
http://www.space-invaders.com/sominv.html

I've seen them around in 4 different cities, and first became intruiged by them in 2005 when I spent a week working in Avignon.

*sigh*... communists.

@#5, not really, it's definitely more an American thing, but I don't think it's particularly interesting, because everyone knows the saying One Nation, Under God.

Wow that's great!

@#24,

Wow. that looks amazing I admit.

@#22 Asuffield,

Internet in the UK is a joke, the most expensive Zen Broadband allows only 50Gb downloads in a month.

Haha, for a whole family to use that, say maybe 2 adults and 3 children, that's 10Gb a month each pretty much.

That's insanely low, that's what? maybe a few piracy downloads, say 3 seasons of scene quality releases? 2 720p movie releases? or 2 DVD ISOs? 10 720p tv shows? not even 2 games!

Even for the father of the family who uses the internet legitimately, that's maybe 30 streamed TV shows (around one a day on 4OD, BBC iPlayer, ITV catchup), then he can't download any more albums from itunes...

Sorry but I'm here in Switzerland getting 15mbps downstream (maybe drops to 8 during peak hours) and unlimited download, it's about time the UK caught up I say.

Before the end of the week, Branson will issue a retraction statement and give every subscriber something for free.

Branson is hugely pro-innovation, you can only expect he won't be happy with this. And Virgin are known for giving free stuff to unhappy customers.

Shouldn't they have MoH:AA in there?

Who knew a popular vegas act would solve Colony Collapse Disorder?!

Get Charlie Epps and his image enhancing algorithms on it!

Obviously these conspiracy fools don't watch Supernatural.

That's a Devil's Trap, it's supposed to keep demons out or in.

Hahaha. I don't cringe at those, I love finding pleonastic words in names of things. (sounds like a setup to an XKCD comic! erk)

Stupid American pig dogs and your californian products! I never will use iphone again.

@15:

Oh of course, because a "guy on the internet" saw it, it's true

@12 : proof plz.

Shame if it's true :(

Sweet to see my university in the boingboing headlines :) !!!!!

I'm starting to doubt whether this is scripted. :|

Actually people rode this during the depression hoping to die in a collapse of the structure.

I like the idea, but as a libertarian, don't think it's a good idea for the government to make it a law.

Keeping relationships together is important, whether with your, gf/bf, spouse, children, friends, sometimes in this hectic world of today, we just don't have time to keep in touch with everyone.

@ #2 : Flipa

I don't think it's wise to compare the role of women in Italy, to those elsewhere in the world, the culture there is very different and reminiscent of the Mussolini era where women were praised for having like 7 children.

This is STILL not worse than lotus seed boob. NOT WORSE.

#4 :

A government employee, charged?

Hell, frozen?

Well at least now I know where to send those that tell me the earth is 1/3rd water!

I still think this is the coolest one:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Vitrectomy3727-PH.jpg

I'm having the same problem as Chr11s... :/

I love the wikipedia page on eye diseases, for some reason looking at the pictures of eyes with weird stuff is kind of interesting !! :S

So many arguements, about dietary SUPPLEMENTS!!!!!

Come on guys, 99% of these smart-drugs are vitamins or plant extracts.

Just adhere to a healthy diet: 5 fruit/veg a day, lay off the salt, sugar and fat. That glass of wine perhaps and a cup of coffee and you're cruising.

#21, nevertheless it's now available to Dutch expats, citizens of Dutch speaking nations in S.America, and Afrikaans speakers in S.Africa and Namibia.

Sure the market may not be as big, but it's a step forward in non-restricted content delivery

The Dutch public broadcast have it right : uitzendinggemist.nl

Unfortunately it's a (not easily rippable) WMV stream, but it's all available (except sport, but thats different, it's a simulcast) and everywhere in the world.

Why is the kid still smiling?

Also the bit where it says [WTF].

He says: Allemagne

French for Germany

Erm, he got beaten up by bikers in the middle of the day in a public park, while someone was filming it.

It's a joke, not a hoax.

Once I finish my degree, I am leaving for good.

A total of around 10 months to go ! :D

Looks are worth the price.

I don't mind so much seperate ISPs choosing to block certain websites, after all, their company, their choice.

However, rights of free speech start to be infringed as soon a government forces all ISPs to block access to certain websites.

No no no, you all have it wrong!

The project actually turned a fossil into a real life dinosaur who (in perfect english) gave evidence that humans were around at the same time (and dinos also had vocal chords).

Yeah, though I'm sure that had parental help too, no child has access to enough nuclear materials.

Regarding the upside down pool, I always wondered if it's possible to do this:

Using a lot of electrical current to put a pool's worth of water on the ceiling of a room (in a similar fashion to static electricity from a baloon moving a water stream from a tap).

Probably not, but I can dream!

rofl, how is david gray - babylon a torture track?!

Relief when killed?! I tend to be angry when I die just before getting that chopper support on COD4!

@#2 DEVOPHILL :

Yes the ones in the Netherlands do have food prepared on the other side, most of the time it's dutch fast-food such as Kroketten, Frikandellen, Loempia's etc.

We always used to go to the one at a Shell station near Breda when going back to The Hague when we had been on holiday in Switzerland. :D

My parents live in Switzerland, and I make a habbit of buying my contact lenses there because you do not need a perscription, just turn up to the shop, tell them what you want, 2 days later go and collect your order.

As it should be,

On the front page it reads 200y

@21 Moonbat

Except for the fact that Governments all over the world have DNA libraries and fingerprint libraries.

Unless they have an LED that can cover our DNA!

Hahaha amazing, who can translate the other languages!?

Pretty cool, although Eve's economy is not as free market as many people make out, moreso than other mmos though. Plus Battleships are not garguantuan :P.

I have my doubts that he's really your brother, he doesn't look like it at all.

Pretty interesting, I'd like to know more about how a screener gets from an academy award previewer to the internet though.

If it's watermarked like they say it is, it seems a bit risky.

Interesting nontheless

@#7

I agree, and no need for fancy-pants Wikipedia-ing to show that 5kms is way sub orbit. I mean, jets fly over 10kms!

It's pretty cool that he's able to do that, but to be fair, people claiming that space is anything below 100kms annoys me. Especially calling it orbit is lame, because there's actually no chance a bottle rocket could orbit earth at such altitudes.

Who is the top most left guy? I think I know him...

Yeah wtf, Sauna is 100% Finnish!

But the debate of whose babes are hotter is still on going... I still think norway.

What's wrong with microsoft? It's a company started by a cool, philanthropic guy. Plus he doesn't like the fact that he's been imprisonned because people like his product.

Yahoo are the ones that worked with the Chinese Government to cause a whole load of trouble. Torture, censorship anyone?

Grats!

There's one fatal flaw with cheating.

The stuff I do exams on now, is too complicated to be able to cheat with.

So if I were to make some kind of cheating strategy, that would probably work, I would also, already have read the material and apropos not have to cheat.

The link to San Quentin State Prison doesn't work unfortunately, but it's a great episode that aired twice in recent weeks on the BBC.

Louis really is a genius of the reporting world. Always neutral, and always asking questions.

In holland a program called "Nu we er toch zijn" airs on the public broadcast. It's based on a similar principle. Without spending money, the presentor, one soundman and a camera man aim to visit different municipalities for a weekend and rate them according to their hospitality.

They try to find a means of transport, find places to eat and sleep, meet interesting locals and the mayor.

They even went to Curacao for a special episode and spent a few days there without spending any money.

But I guess, like this guy, and them, if you have a camera man with you. It's a LOT easier!

cool but could be better.

For example:

Missing Veoh and Stage 6 on the dailymotion line.

Demonoid doesn't exist any more.

Silverlight should really be on the end of the green line somewhere.

maybe?

Nice resolution!!

Daniel.

With the US $ so low, and the £ high. If the plane is booked months in advance, and the spending into the thousands of dollars primarily on ipods and brand name clothes. This will indeed save money, and is fun.

I cant believe they want to renew the pipe.

Surely you can get a chainsaw and cut little chunks out of it?!

Can't be that hard...

great, but the only interesting port would be nintendo DS. And we already have a Sim City DS and soon a Sim City DS 2...

@#24 : simplehuman ,

So because he's got a good job and makes a lot of money he's not allowed to have a political ideology?

Sorry but I don't think you quite understand that in a libertarian society , social security gets replaced in the form voluntary donations.

Bt yr pst jst mks t snd lk y'r jls bcs y dn't mk s mch mny s hm.

OMG!!!! I can't believe this is on here :D

I was going to scan and send it in when I got it in the post a few days ago.

Cool that it's up :D

Seems like every company is making custom rap songs for their products these days...

I'm specifically thinking this, and COD4 :S ... WHY?!

Oh Shi--

And I thought the mould around my window frame was harmless.

May get that checked out now...

Still!!!! It's still scaring me!

Like the Lotus Seed Boob... I'm crying :''''(

Jesus! Scared me to death!

Oh just to confirm before I lol, is the 5th unit from the left a Swiss plug?

I walked past the vacume cleaner in the hall and realised that I didn't see a swiss plug in that array!

iirc, the OZ plugs should fit in the 3rd from left.

Also, looking forward to the rest of your photos from switzerland :)

That guy is my hero.

I'm going to start doing that soon!

I'm not pro surveillance, no where near it. But people blow the threat of it out of proportion a lot of the time.

Nevertheless, it's an interesting map!

@ #16 billy & #21 dculberson

Some people in the New Hampshire Free State Project also believe in seceding from the Union, they are a major influence in NH political issues, so they would be a good group to have on their side.

That's amazing, I didn't think it would actually happen. Back in my chemistry classes for A level, I was told that ingesting silver compounds (Silver Nitrate I think it was) could cause skin discolouration, so we had to be extra careful. LOL.

Confirmed

BILLOFWRITES:

Don't generalise republicans. Ron Paul.

As much as one may argue this is a "good law", as a true free-marketeer I cannot condone this.

Shooting != Killing, they have tranquilisers now, also we don't even know if the paper just made it sound like he meant shooting as in with a gun, which is not abnormal for the press, when he probably meant with a photocamera...

Wow lagos looks so awesome, and except for the government mandated clean up day (but I presume there will be a lot of competing clean up services already!!), it's a perfect example of how the free-market is perfectly suited to a developping nation!

I predict that within my lifetime (the next 60 years), Lagos will indeed be like New York, or London.

I live in Switzerland around 5 months of the year. I think it's pretty sick that this is happening now, but understandable as Switzerland a country once standing for independence and freedom is turning towards notions of the larger political entities, like EU, UN etc.

I would like to know where it is possible to sign this petition for referendum.

Also, it might be interesting to note that Switzerland is home to one of the largest file hosting websites - rapidshare.com - also used in trading and sharing of warez.
