@Dazed and Confused

Dutch MP releases anti-Islam movie

re:this is where it gets weird

"Do a google image search on the phrase "BEHEAD THOSE WHO SAY ISLAM IS A VIOLENT RELIGION.".

Here's what I see:

Lots of pictures. But on the top row

A photo of a person, presumably a moslem, holding a placard saying "BEHEAD THOSE WHO SAY ISLAM IS VIOLENT"

And next to that:

A photo of a person, presumably a moslem, holding a placard saying "BEHEAD THOSE WHO INSULT ISLAM". The two pictures, and they are repeated, are identical apart from the text on the placard.

Say Hello to Mr Photoshopper."

there is now a third saying "behead thouse who don't laugh"

makes you laugh

Pork and politics energise the biofuel delusion

michael

ethonol enifecnecy

the efecency of bio fules is only a problem is the energy would not have been wated in the first palce imagen a ethnol farm where all the mecheens are solar powered from the tractos to the refinery then it would not matter that 1000 cals of sola made 1 cal of ethnol cos the 1000 of sola would have gone to waste if b4 the farm was there

what we are making is a PORTABLE energy store turning the suns energy into a portable usuable energy store the best way of doing it is open to debate (we could have a sola powered hydragon farm insted)

ISPAs 2008: Music can save broadband

michael

@ac

"Did I read that right? I'm more than happy to pay £24.99 a month. What I'm not willing to pay £24.99 a month for is a service that's heavily capped, where the ISP decides what data gets priority and what doesn't. Who is the ISP to say that a download of a Linux ISO for an important task is less important than some teacher gossiping about how they kissed some other kid at school via Skype?"

I have pluged them b4 and I will plug then again this is my current isp

Japanese ISPs agree three strikes-style anti-piracy regime

better anaolgy for what they are doing

you go to a shady place and say

"hello I am x and I am looking for y" where y is illagle

some pepol in the room say "hello x here is some y"

you stay there

later a new person walks into the room says "hello I am z and I am looking for some y" you chime in with over pepol saying "hello z here is some y"

then a perosn in the corner who has not said anything takes down your names and pictures and sends them to the police who arrest you later
