No I live in Scotland, where we don't give a hoot what colour skin you have. People just tend to get along when you stop blaming others for your problems.

Ignoring your obvious racist message, developing countries have better things to spend their resources other than an army of robot worms. But scientific research does take place in more relevant fields http://m.scidev.net/en/science-and-innovation-policy/r-d-in-africa/news/south-african-scientists-win-first-obasanjo-science-prize.html

I was implying that they could replicate the Mars Climate Orbiter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Climate_Orbiter

Just run this as a joint mission between the US and the EU, problem solved.

My detectors on the blink, so for the good of Humanity I'm going to assume that was sarcasm, just poorly implemented.

Thank god Britain has moved away from this! even the cheap meat in the UK is rarely from futher than the continent, most supermarkets won't stock any other meat than british, unless its maybe a new zeland lamb or a danish pig. The thought of importing meat from Botswana because it is naturally low in fat and mixing it with beef which is high in fat, rather than just cutting the fat off before you mince it, and using that fat for beef dripping, suet, lard, and countless other rendered fat products seems odd? You will find meat from South Africa from trade suppliers, but even then not that much, because the british beef/pork/lamb/chicken etc labeling is worth so much to us. So no, i dont want skinny cows raised on reclaimed rainforest, with visable bones providing my meat thank you very much. I'm looking at the field that supplies my local butcher and local supermarket outside my window. I'm just off for a Rib-Eye....

The hackers also started to post email addresses and passwords they claimed were from Sun staff, and said to have accessed a mail server at now-defunct News of the World." So LulzSec have introduced reasonable doubt to a massive judicial enquiry? Using this information the NotW lawyers can play down any email discovered as the work of these hackers. Rupert Murdock, rather than being hurt by these action, is probably laughing all the way down to his topiery garden!

Well then you don't use this system in an internet cafe. I dont use my fingerprint scanner outside my house, i just have to remember a password, urgh

Nexus one is almost exactly the same phone as the Desire, HTC made the Nexus for Google. The desire has just added firm keys instead of the Nexus touchscreen keys at the bottom and changed the crazy ball for a crazy optical eye - oh and slung the HTC Sence interface on top of it, which really is the USP. Same screen, same processor, same battery, same phone.

Sounds like you have been slashdotted
