I hear

In the new report they will be putting in the new Gorrilla's album as proof of AGW. Well they've written songs about it so it must be true.

After that its the age old 'Well its on a t-shirt so it must be true' science, they've just got to print the t-shirts once they get there grant money for the year, see AGW does exsist now give me hundreds of millions of pounds.

Wally's world

Just when you thought the world couldn't get any wackier the EU grows some common sense (yes you can grow it, i'd ask the Dutch), whatever next a goverment that looks after its citizens and not how much money it can make and spend, not in my life time i bet (Simpson's said it best "Tax and spend, Tax and spend").

Home Office spawns new unit to expand internet surveillance

And sorry

But can the Apple PR department please leave the comments section alone at El Reg, the amount of comments i've read on El Reg about the iFail that read like adverts is annoying, 'Me and my wife will be happily watching video, listening to music and browsing the internet's', please what sort of brain dead idiot comments like that on the interweb, funny enough most of the Apples PR departments comments here are the only comment they have evet made? strange.

Fanbois

or Apples PR department, Its a sh*t laptop that brings nothing to the party, if your on here listing its qualitys, which can be said for any laptop (although laptops are not locked down so your stuck with a 16Gb drive to save all 2 movies onto).

They've missed the boat it should of controlled you home media TV, music and browsing the internet all from your coffee table instead its all half arsed and down better by a laptop, less powerful for more money.

Unless your a fanbois this has FAIL written aqll over it.

Just don't ask

What the MoD pay per computer with support with your tax payers money, we're talking one computer on a desk, think of a number and triple it and your probably not even close.

You've fallen for it then, here's an idea buy a life insurance policy for say 10 million and buy a lottery ticket every week, you got more chance of winning the lottery then being involved in any sort of terrorist attack.

Multiple travel firms refuse ID cards as passport alternative

Scott 19

Once

Someone's actually travelled around europe on one and had no problems then i will believe them, i'll be honest though if i was going to travel around europe i'd take the old out of fashion passport with me just incase.

I'll be honest hopefully this guberment hass cocked this up so much that when it finally does die off the next time they try it people will be living on Uranus.

China moves closer to a smut-free internet

I bet he wanders around mumberling under his breath 'if it weren't for those darn Euro's in there Brussel's i could do this', sorry Mandy it was your lot that signed up for the EU without asking us, it's your own fault if they keep getting in the way of your new China republic with there darn Human Right's thinge.

It's the old

Why spend 3 million dollars making a pen work in space when you can take a pencil, if you suspect someone get a court order and listen in, it has the added bonus of all the people your trying to catch move to another medium.

Its another CCTV response to something they can't control, i say let them spend there 2 billion and the extra 10 it'll cost them to actually make it work and then FOI there ar*es to see how much it actually cost to run.

I haven't seen solid figures about CCTV but i'm guessing the cost of CCTV is thousand if not hundreds of thousands of pounds for each crime solved.

Can anyone explain the chunnel fiasco?

Scott 19

Protest

to much me thinks, job on the line?

Oh and if i was stuck on a train for 16 hours i would like to know why and see that/the people responsible sacked and as you can guess there will be a cover-up/scape goat found from the people involved so a public enquiry is the only way. I see the french man in charge has already had his man in france in to explain what happened but as usual good old Ove rLord Brown doesn't see any votes in it so he can't be bothered., surprised The Dark Lord ain't got invovled though as this seems right up his 'stick my nose into everthing' street.

The Noughties

The decade that allowed Sheep free access to information. It was a good decade, free information for all, abit like the 70s and the free love. A golden by gone age where you had to be there.

And yes UK.Gov in no way, shape or form will be out done by our cousins down under.

File-sharing Bill could give Government control of the internet

Scott 19

The Dark Lord

Why does this man scare me like the Sith Lord from Star Wars trying to grab power, ever media outlet sound have to play the Imperial March everytime he appears on TV or in media clips on-line (even though you may not have connection for much longer).

And for the Dark Lords next trick blocking all information about any political party he's not in at the present moment, not sure if the Tories would have him back but the Dark Side is strong Ju-Ju.

'CRU cherrypicked Russian climate data', says Russian

Scott 19

Derren Brown

I'm a fence sitter but these guys at CRU really aren't helping the credibility of the UK science community. I hear that the IPCC is going to be employing Derren Brown soon to help with persauding gouberments that there friends with millions of pounds of grants on the line (although the recent summit has proven that they still believe) deserve there money.

Might be better to all sit around and discuss it like adults such things as yes climate change due to civilisation (The human population), population growth, resources ie chopping down all the trees to make bio fuel and meat and energy resources such as distribution around the world, trust me people in cold countrys generally need more energy than people that live in hot countries.

But i believe that some god type creation is going to come down and intevene and that we're here all on our own and the human race has to deal with these issues.

another useless Quango that i miss out on, i so want one of these jobs you have no powers to do anything about CCTV except give people a phone number but get paid for it. Nice work if you can get it, anyone know the correct way to shake hands in these job interviews?

The Great Aussie Firewall is dead: Long live the firewall

Scott 19

US of A

The biggest threat to them in power is the free exchange of information and the internet doesn't help them in this, they need to take control again before everyone becomes to well informed. The UK is trying with BPI but the Ozzys are going one better and just blocking everything along the lines of China and Iran. Our American cousins seem to be lagging behind this but with kids shooting each other in school the 'think of the children' brigade may not sound as loud.

Who would of guessed owning a gun would help with freedom of speach?

Bye my Ozzy friends

Once El Reg's play mobile re-enactments get rated its bye-bye Oz.

The real test will be proxy's, what will be the buisness case to block these as i'm going to assume they will be pretty quick.

If i didn't

Have to worry about an E-CRB check for my job i'd be out there protesting, catch-22 boys and girls, go against the establishment once and find yourself outside the 'Law' abiding society.'

Its that slippery slope and we're at tipping point, Police doing what the hell they want and guberment not giving a s*it as long as you pay your taxes.

And its a joke round here but if you gave the option that every UK citizen work up with a bar code on there head linked to a DB in UK.Gov central do you think them in power would vote 'yes'? (excluding themselves).

Home Office battles to make CCTV useful

Get the crim's to fill out a form before they commit a crime that way they can be pointe din the right direction and i think generally they are not used becasue the picture quality is so s*it.

Nu-Lie-Bour gets my vote

Never liked kids anyway this now makes sure that i never have to go near one ever again and yes i'm aware about the employemnt side of this, nearly ever employer in the country will use this as an excuse to run checks on new employees.

But like i said before its the sheer number of checks that will cause this like all other guberment run initiatives to run years behind and be completely useless, just ask the immigration office who still are reviewing files from 1997 and they had to build prison style detention centres just to handel the back log, can't wait to see if the same happens with this idea? locked up until your CRB check is cleared and your allowed back onto the streets to mix with the yoof.

My new moto 'The UK the first country to regress back to a 3rd rate tin pot regime in history', all i can say to you Scot's, Welsh of NIers is get out while you can before we drag you down as well.
