A night flight. The plane is quiet.

Suddenly,

"Yeah, I couldn't sleep... No, they've fed us.... HA HA HA HA HA!!! Yeah, that's right! HA HA HA HA HA!!! I know what you mean and there's that.... HA HA HA HA HA!!!! Do you remember that?... HA HA HA HA HA!!!"

Where is this Doomsday clock? It certainly can't be Europe or America, because otherwise it'd be at 5 minutes to 11 due to daylight savings.

Oh, the irony!

Does this mean that people leaving positive feedback should also be unmasked?

Seriously, I completely avoid any service that has all 4/5 and 5/5 stars because in real life at least one person would find fault with it.

Can you not further improve your motor skills through repeated Skyrim playing (or moving onto more demanding games), or is there simply a limit on how much you can do now?

I can't find any information about where this was downloaded from. It's not on the Play Store (or at least, not anymore), so where were people downloading it from?

Mount a camera on the drone and let me watch my package flying over the landscape via the "Track my package" option.

2... 1...

The cause of the delay was due to the fact that the operators were diverted to a call centre operator in Mumbai who simply read off a script and provided no actual help.

The whole reason for a protest is to go to jail.

What the fuck are you talking about? You only go to jail for protesting for two reasons:

1. Your protest is illegal, perhaps because your country bans protests, or you're intentionally trying to incite a riot.
2. You decided to be a dick and smash stuff up instead of just marching peacefully.

I think you've confused protest with coup.

Syria: As you can see, we've gotten rid off all the chemical weapons.
UN: Great stuff, and I see you've redecorated this building too.
Syria: Yes, we decided the old place could do with a lick of paint or two.
UN: That curtain's new...
Syria: Oh erm, we had someone come do some Feng shui to allow the Chi to flow better...

Let's pretend for a moment that Nintendo was to make a Mario game for iOS. Would it be in full 3D like Mario 64, or a classic platformer like Super Mario 3?

Neither, it'd be an endless runner where you simply tap the screen to jump on Goombas and over gaps, because touch screens lack the control for anything more sophisticated.

Sure, there are games on the App Store that are fully fledged platformers, but are they any good? No, because (in my experience) your hands are covering 80% of the screen making it impossible to see what's actually going on.

If this is the future of gaming, you can count me out.

Makes you wonder which country is the real threat in this world.

So what they're saying is that we can use replacement printer parts to make guns?

Looks like Slashdot's been hacked.

I suspect they would have a lot less problem with terrorists and ne'er-do-wells.

Nope, there'd simply be a lot more people getting shot.
