Comment Re:Good to see game developers put their foot down (Score 1) 277

Yes, because after all, a single video game being judged by a board of people as being above their criteria for classification; that board presumably appointed by a sovereign government, elected by the majority of the people of Australia with full suffrage is a lot like that, isn't it?

If in 20 years times the history book shows this as the event that sparks the Australian Revolutionary War of disgruntled gamers against the federal government, I will be rather surprised, and even more spectacularly disappointed by human nature.

If people don't like policies, write to your representative, or run for election. Advocating armed action against policies as a first resort is rather bizarre (politest phrase I can currently find). Perhaps decades of living in Northern Ireland where people have been keen on using guns to make their diplomatic points has jaded me, maybe is it a jolly good idea after all with no drawbacks. Carry on. Start firing.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but the Boston Tea Party didn't even start off that way, did it?

Quite so. I'm a UK citizen and have signed the petition, but let's stop the nation bashing, most countries older than a few hundred years have lots to be embarrassed about, and for that matter, the USA, which is only a few hundred years old has accumulated its fair share of things to be ashamed of too, like every other country.

Comment Re:Android G1 also heats when using GPS (Score 5, Informative) 364

When I truck a lot of traffic over 3G to the G1 I also seem to have some overheating problems, albeit not as severe as those being discussed above. Notably trying to watch TV in beebplayer seems to cause overheating which may or may not be why the video often halts for me in that application. That might tally with those proclaiming general traffic as being a problem too. PS. No idea why you've been modded off topic, since a comparison of similar issues with other phones seems highly relevant to me. Had I mod points I'd have corrected that.
