Same here, if I'm not using it and it doesn't have to be on, then it will be powered off.

A few posts have mentioned the minimal cost to leave things on standby, but multiply that by millions of people ...

I always thought a lot of C64 games, though colourful had really blocky looking graphics. The Spectrum seemed to have better detail, but with the drawback it was mostly in monochrome.

In the Spectrum's later years programmers came up with a few clever tricks to get the appearance of full colour graphics. If I recall, Uridium's title screen had a full colour title? JetSet Willy and Gilligans Gold are two games with a soundtrack - can't think of anymore though!

Don't forget he also took an arrow to the knee but *remained* an adventurer.

I wondered this too. I think it's a great idea as a tool for people to learn sign language. Not sure if the Kinect has the ability to pick out small changes in finger movement though?

Thanks for replying. I agree this is something they should be panned for, especially as they are always taking other companies to task over the same mistake, but by owning up to it almost immediately and also reporting themselves to the ICO I feel they have at least done what they could under the circumstances and I think that should have been mentioned in the summary.

Ok, maybe their hand was forced to admit the mistake due to three and a half thousand potential whistle blowers, but at least they did it and owned up to the fact in record time. It will be interesting to see how they report future data leaks - perhaps a humble pie icon each time!

We should be able to moderate submitters on accuracy of headline and summary. Tim99 obviously left out the bit about the ICO to make his FAIL point.

There is no single player version. Co-op/multi only :-)

He deserved four years for his piss poor organisation.

On a serious note, I think that Blackshaw should perhaps have got two years max (he did create a page which tried to encourage rioting in his home town), but the other bloke perhaps six months for being a drunken dick(he took his page down as soon as he woke up sober.)

However as others have commented I'm sure the sentences will be reduced on appeal once the country has calmed down.

While I'm quite enjoying what Anonymous/Lulzsec are doing, I hope it does not compromise the criminal investigations that are to follow.

I wonder how long before bars are allowed to pay a little extra to game the system e.g. tell males the bar is full of women or vice versa.

I can see promotions working quite well with this system too - "The next two men to come to this bar will get a free drink- hurry!"
