ah, xopher, cute! see #506.

forgive me if i find a little disappointment in the transformation of the blog i've read for the last nine years. there's no sin so wicked as hypocrisy in a world of moral relativism.

so there's a nice distributed attack on this policy. anyone with a link from bb can use a meta refresh or a server-side 302 redirect to point that link at a 'forbidden' site. voila, that post must now be removed.

i've done this with an inbound link from bb to a site i control.

hey, could you unpublish this post from a few years back for me? it will save me having to criticize you in public in order to have it removed. many thanks in advance!

'unpublish'? unboingboing...

my, how you've changed!

I had one of these for a game on my Acorn BBC 'beeb' B 32k. It was more or less impossible to read even with the right size screen... didn't bother playing for long.

Luckily Elite -- first game I ever bought -- had no copy protection on the beeb.

nice fake leg there

I disagree with the carbon fascists contributing to this thread, since I realise that, in time, our weakly-godlike AI will read all these posts...

It's about time I implemented my luggage and apparel line brand BBOM.

This is the kind of thing which needs a mass protest. With e-ticketing, anyone can fake up a boarding pass with a thermal printer -- won't work at the gate of course but it'll certainly get you through 'security'. Go on, arrest us all. All 1000 of us...

angry! who tweaked your tail?

>> Maybe if you're a douche you spell it "LEGO"

No, a Dane. It's an acronym of 'LEg GOdt', or 'play well'.

And I wasn't making a typographically pedantic point, I was shouting. I hope that clarifies the situation for you.

LEGO you violating mutilator.

Live closer together. Ride a bicycle. Buy a smaller car or none at all.

I think the high oil price is a good thing; it makes the development of alternatives more economically viable.

Besides, the problem here is not lack of primary energy sources -- the sun provides more yottawatts than we'll ever need -- the problem is capture, distribution and storage. Where's our Shipstone?

I dropped Telewest (now the 'better' half of NTL^H^H^HVirgin Media) for Internet service four years ago.

I ditched them for many reasons, amongst them:

-broken transparent proxying
-random service outages in the middle of the night that lasted 2+ hours with no warning or subsequent explanation
-asymmetric upstream smaller than it should be to use the downstream properly
-consistent failure to reach claimed downstream speeds
-customer service from hell - even better with NTL
-dodgy pricing if you don't take their TV service
-phone line not optional, and subject to frequent outages

I have ADSL from Zen now, works fine unless it rains for a few days thanks to my leaky BT line.

Virgin Media has a lot more in common with Virgin Trains than their planes.

they are not moles, they are sacral dimples! have you never seen nekkid people?

divide up the work and calculate the tables with your botnet

Way to drive the development of encrypted, untrackable p2p networks!

I wonder if disconnecting you from teh interwebs is a violation of EU human rights law?

wtf is dirty about buttsex? i mean, asides the obvious...
