Submission + - Sony Get Nasty With PSBreak Buyers (dcemu.co.uk) 1

Submitted by YokimaSun on Sunday October 17, 2010 @01:39PM

YokimaSun writes: The War between hackers and Sony over the Playstation 3 has now taken an even more sinister turn with Sony now going after not just shops but actual buyers of the PSBreak Dongle, threatening them with fines of many thousands in Euros and forcing them to sign Cease and Desist letters. Seems that Sony will use any method possible to thwart both Homebrew and Piracy on the PS3.

As someone from Yorkshire, I know he was well established in the charity scene and his loss will be felt around the region. He donated across the spectrum and encouraged other wealthy individuals to do so. Not all of us forget so quickly.

Make that two of us. I removed my account and 'lost contact' with loads of people. By lost contact, I mean returned to life pre-facebook, which suits me just fine.

Everytime I tried Wave I couldn't escape the feeling it was just like a busy wiki, with a superset of features.

Well said. Article was submitted on the basis of the changes to the local ecosystem, rather than as evidence for the global debate - but this is slashdot....

Incorrect, his statement of there being no documented cycle for that amount in that time frame is correct. It is only the implications you could refute.

Submission + - Loss of ice on Mt. Everest is "Devastating" 2

Simmeh writes: The BBC reports on new photos of the Himalayas taken from exactly the same position as ones from 1929 and compares the ice coverage. The Asia Society who did the groundwork are quoted as saying "If the present rate of melting continues, many of these glaciers will be severely diminished by the middle of this century.". I guess the previous claim wasn't too unrealistic.

The current government are into reduction - reducing the public sector, reducing the size of the statute book so cynicism aside I think their manifesto platform will hold.
