Comment Pointless (Score 3, Insightful) 168

I'm more concerned with what they will start blocking now they have a precedent, wouldn't surprise me in ten years if you have only government licensed sites and a seriously crazy darknet going on, I think they'll come to regret trying to censor when they realise they have lost all control . I'm on virgin and had a check, yes t's blocked but it took me ten seconds to be able to access it anyway.

Comment Maybe I'm crazy (Score 1) 1174

I've always wondered why they don't just put the door to the cockpit on the outside of the plane surely this would be the best way to prevent hijackings. I'm aware that doesn't solve all security concerns but it would have been enough to prevent 911, my other thought for the other worst cases are giving the pilot cctv, radio links t the other crew and even possibly a sleep gas button although I also can still remember how that went for that school taken hostage n Russia.

Comment Re:used or bust (Score 1) 423

They really are it's already happened where I am, because of EA and Capcom basicly killing of the GAME uk stores I've been unable to buy games for the simple fact that I can't find them, at least the titles I want, it's pretty annoying because I have new Vita which just doesn't have the storage space to go digital (UK is limited to 16gb cards which is absolutely pathetic).

I'm honestly sick of spineless UK politicians sucking up to them we should just strengthen our ties with Europe instead.

Comment I'm on Sonys side (Score 1) 293

I can't really blame them for this when hacking basicly destroyed the PSP and really limited the games being developed. Vita is only out and it's actually a very promising bit of hardware, there is also no reason for homebrewers to hack it as they are making PS suite available to anyone who wants to make programs for it.

Just for the record I did boycott Sony for quite a few years myself and they have done some downright despicable things like the rootkit and the otherOS removal but I think their improving and so far this year I've bought an eink reader and a Vita from them both purchases I'm pleased with.

Comment Spider Goats (Score 1) 96

Kinda weird just before I read this I was just watching a show (Horizon - Playing God) where they were showing spider goats which are basicly geneticly engineered goats which make a lot of silk. I don't know if that's progress or just scary.

Comment Re:CPU & GPU performance not relevant (Score 2) 197

I think I might be one of the few that actually likes the Atom I have a netbook I actually use for tons of stuff and the Atom gives me over a ten hour battery. I basicly use the netbook for everything I would do on my desktop and it works fine I've even watched 720p videos on it.

I think the early Atoms might have been poor and that's how they got the bad rep but the one in my netbook seems to be pretty good to me and I really like the battery life.

Comment phonedog who (Score 1) 267

Know nothing about the company I've honestly never heard of them ever but reading this story makes me dislike them. Ironicly I do recognise Noah from revision 3 podcasts so I think it's much more likely him being followed than phonedog. May well be a case of him being bigger than the company and pure jealousy, in my opinion it's very likely the followers will all leave on mass if they do get the account.
