World's wittiest lonely hearts ads
gareth: My favourite is 'I like my women the way I like my kebab. Found by surprise after a drunken night out and covered in too much tahini. Before long I'll have discarded you on the pavement of life, but until then you're the perfect complement to a perfect evening. Man, 32, rarely produces winning metaphors.'
Gareth:
Cheney says "insurgents in Iraq have increased their attacks in order to influence the upcoming US mid-term elections". So in other words, he's blaming the insurgents in Iraq for making it look like the Republicans completely f*cked up Iraq (which they would never ever do)
Gareth:
"The FBI has announced an innovative plan to root out potential evildoers with the launch of the new game show, Who Wants to Be a Terrorist."

Reader Aaron says :"While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles. Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction and there is nothing you can do about it."
gareth: I don't believe it without a link!
Marcus:
One of those online 20 Questions "pit yourself against the computer" things. Hint: it didn't know Darth Vader, but it does now. (Thanks Jim!)
gareth: It didn't get Darth Vader for me, either. It was close at first as it guessed a robot, but apparantly the way I answered the questions, it seemed like what I had in mind was more of an egyptian mummy. Although I guess mummy + robot = vader.
Marcus:
This passed me by: the UK's new 101 phone code for "non emergency" police calls. (Thanks Martyn!)
Marcus: Appparently it's for stuff like drunk people being rowdy, vandalism and grafitti and "problems with street lighting".
Marcus: Although the Telegraph reckons it's a big waste of time, and will "end up costing lives".
gareth: Did anyone else think of room 101?
Marcus:
Live webcams of an awesome Halloween display. (Thanks Alek!)
Marcus: You can even control the display from 10pm GMT tonight!

Penny Arcade touches something I've always been curious about.
tim: its a lie, trust me, the thing with mobile phones is that they switch between recievers on the ground too fast as a result of the speed they are going in a plane and c*ck up the network
Gareth:
"Ofcom received 251 complaints after the Tory leader was asked if he ever had schoolboy sexual fantasies about former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher."
Dave:
This doesn't count as a double post, because no one's ACTUALLY linked to the site and the last time it was mentioned was over 2 years ago : ). Anyway, if you haven't already seen it, www.419eater.com is where Scam baiters trick the people who try and con money out of you via email, into doing stupid things. Idiots.

Dave: "What a pleasure. Folks, BELIEVE THE HYPE! Transformers next summer will own you!"
Justin:
Dick Cheney is under fire for supporting water boarding - here is a video of water boarding.
Dave: Good God that's disturbing.
american government: We don't support terrorism, except for when we do.
gareth: Damnit, that was meant to be torture (not terrorism). Man I'm tired.
Dave: In the interest of fairness, I think we should point out that the media is (once again) putting words into the mouth of yet another politician. Whether Dick supports water-boarding or not, he did not say he did. It makes me cross when this happens. It's rubbish reporting and it's a lazy way to demonise and undermine politicians. Don't get me wrong, I'm no big fan of Cheney, but I think I hate the media more.
justin: I got the feeling that he was implicitly referring to waterboarding no? but isn't that fun? like waterskiing or something?
Marcus: "Would you agree a dunk in water is a no-brainer?" "It's a no-brainer for me..."
Marcus: It's disingenous to claim that this isn't a clear mark of support for waterboarding. Still, that's spin doctoring for you.
Gareth:
Youtube: Good day Mr.Kubrick from 1963 and then the followup.
gareth: I'm pretty sure the second guy is kidding, but it's a bit fuzzy. What I am sure about is that it's pretty damn creepy.
gareth: And then the supposed meetup between Atene and Kubrick
justin: I was gonna post this - he's excruciating.
Justin:
Evolving Time Fronts: Spatio-Temporal Video Warping.
Justin: We propose 'evolving time fronts', a new framework for spatio-temporal warping of video... We manipulate the time flow of a video sequence by sweeping an evolving 'time front' surface through the video's aligned space-time volume.
Justin:
Courtney Love does the math - The controversial singer takes on record label profits, Napster and "sucka VCs."

PicLens is a gorgeous plugin for OS X's Safari web browser that allows you to instantly turn flickr albums, Google Image search results and other web-based photo albums into fullscreen, controllable slideshows. Really impressive. A Firefox implementation would rock. (via)
Marcus:
Comedy Central has had all its TV show clips removed from YouTube. (via)
Marcus: Goodbye to clips from The Daily Show, The Colbert Report and South Park.
Marcus: In my opinion this is a really stupid and likely damaging move for Comedy Central - a gigantic nose-thumbing to their primary market.
Marcus: These shows are clued-in, irreverent, smart humour vehicles made for intelligent people who also "get" the internet and are increasingly likely to watch their TV through YouTube/P2P/etc rather than an actual TV. Don't piss off your demographic.
justin: Well, "pissing off your demographic" is one thing, but lets face it - offering free shows means your demographic don't have to watch your TV channel nor watch adverts from your sponsors.
justin: Although the advert for keepign them up is compelling as well - I'm so confused.
Marcus:

This is the longest dominos thing I have ever seen.
Dave: I was all set to say "Surely that's a fake" but I checked Lunatim's site and it seems real enough.

A beginner's guide to freelancing. Lots of cool general tips, so it works for more than just one area. (via)
Marcus:
LifeHacker: Top Firefox 2 config tweaks.
Marcus: Some handy tips, like how to turn off the close buttons on tabs (that's what a middle mouse button is for).
gareth: I'm mostly trying to find how to make it more like the previous iterations of Firefox.
Marcus:
YouTube: clips and other previews for Hot Fuzz, the new comedy from the Shaun of the Dead team. (via)
Marcus: Bit of a Shaun of the Dead gag rehash in the second teaser trailer (jumping over the fence), but yay for using an eels track.
gareth: Heh, looks like it'll be more of the same (which is a good thing)
Marcus:
Slate: "How Nokia can knock the iPod from its perch." (via)
Marcus: It doesn't exactly take a crystal ball to see the future of MP3/phone convergence and where that leaves the iPod (we've been saying it for over two years. Quite a lot.)
Marcus: In fairness, I suspect the situation in the US is muddied by their slightly backwards mobile phone situation, although they seem to be catching up.
Marcus: Anyway, here's my prediction for what Apple is going to do within the next 6-12 months, assuming those loud rumours of a 100% "Apple" phone are true:
Marcus: Apple are going to launch a music-oriented phone, probably with iPod nano-style 4GB or so flash RAM. Simultaneous to this they will launch a "mobile" version of the iTunes Store, enabling consumers to purchase tracks (and probably short video clips) directly from the handset.
Marcus: It will do quite well as a "fashion" phone, but due to the size of the mobile market, can never hope to dominate the way the iPod dominates the MP3 player market.
Marcus: Tune back within a year or so to see if my predictions were right. If they're wrong, ignore everything I just said. I'll delete it later when nobody's looking.
justin: The reviewer seems to be willfully ignoring this and this. I've been using the Sony Ericsson K series phones for 3 generations now - sticking in my memory cards and happily listening to music and doing all kids of things with them. Mobile phone music is already here.
Marcus: I don't know about "wilfully" ignoring Sony. There's plenty of other decent MP3 phones out there too (and remember the US may not have the same phones as the UK, and this is a US article).
Marcus: It's just that Nokia is "getting it" more than the other manufacturers - an ergonomic, music-centred phone with a large built-in storage capacity that's soon going up to 8GB.
Marcus: The trick is getting it done right - and I'd venture that the problem with a lot of phones right now is not the fact that they can play music (that's easy-peasy and most new phones can do it). It's that it's not idiot proof user friendly enough to get music onto the phone. That's what Apple will be angling for with a combined and solid software/hardware approach. (That's a big part of what won them the MP3 player market.)
Marcus: Early adopters (I've been playing MP3s and video using a Treo years before most people) are prepared to suffer a certain amount of hacking about and fiddling to get stuff to work. The trick is to make it mass-market and simple. And attractive to use. Nobody's quite got that yet.
Marcus: This guy reckons that the Apple phone won't even have music playback, which is an interesting idea that would completely doom it in the UK for starters.
Marcus: I think the Business Week article "Another Music Phone? Yawn..." is right on the money.
Marcus:
BBC: "Crushing pills to make them easier to swallow can cause serious side-effects that can sometimes be fatal." Yikes.

MediaFire claims to offer "100% free. ad-supported" file hosting with unlimited filesize and download/upload bandwidth.

OS X (and OS X Firefox) tip: download Uno to reskin all your windows to a unified theme (no more brushed metal!) and the new Firefox 2.0 GrApple Uno theme to make Firefox look the way it should on a Mac.

iLounge's iPod Storage Calculator, an online tool to "quickly estimate how many compressed audio files of various types will fit in any current or past iPod’s storage capacity."

Marcus:
Google Video: Japanese vid of lots of ingenius kinetically-powered machines that do cool stuff (think of the classic Mouse Trap board game.) (via)
Marcus: I'd like to think that the little Japanese vocal ditty that plays after each video translates as "because we're better than you".
Marcus: This video also indirectly led me to the knowledge that what we British call a "Heath Robinson" device is known as a "Rube Goldberg" in the US. Hopefully this revelation will promote greater understanding and unity between our two nations.
Dave:

Hong Kong games hardware importers Lik Sang have been put out of business, apparently because of "multiple Sony lawsuits". (via)
Marcus: It's extremely saddening and ominous that Sony has been able to legally bully a major import retailer out of business simply because Sony doesn't want its cheap East Asian hardware/software sold in Western markets.
Marcus: And, amusingly, the press release lists a whole bunch of Sony Europe execs who bought import Sony stuff through Lik Sang: "Ray Maguire (Managing Director, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Ltd), Alan Duncan (UK Marketing Director, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Ltd), Chris Sorrell (Creative Director, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Ltd), Rob Parkin (Development Director, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Limited)."
Marcus:
Music Free Buses. A campaign to stop morons playing their crap music through tinny 0.5w mobile phone speakers to the general public, and use their f*cking earphones instead. (via)
gareth: What really bugs me is when people have headphones on, but the music is so loud you can hear it nonetheless. What's even worse is when it's rap.
justin: I dont really have a problem with this, apart from the really tinny sound. When the speakers get better themusic will sound a bit better. The thing is though, it's all done by chavs - who don't respect anything or anyone, so a ban or any kind of posters simply will not work. I think I'd be inclined to play my music loud as well to interfere with theirs meaning we either have silence or nothing.
Laura: There are chavs who walk past my house with these phones, blaring out happy hardcore music. Not even the sleepy towns of East Yorkshire are safe.... If only they'd play something decent then I wouldn't be so bothered.

"I felt as mad as a bag of snakes". Hammond's on the road to recovery.
justin: Scary stuff. Reminds me of when I got into a gang fight (me versus a gang) and was knocked unconcious - and kept lapsing into short term amnesia wondering if I still had the Playstation I was carrying and repeating a line from the movie The Crow. My parents and girlfriend convince me that my girlfriend was pregant - which I kept on forgetting and remembering. Funny(!)
It was mad though, when I walked in to my house, parents were worried and were asking me questions like my sister's name and the Prime Minister - it was really scary when I couldn't recall them.

It really is worth reading up a little on what Habeas Corpus is, it's the first thing we studied when I did GCSE Law (or Law 101 as you yanks might call it).
"A writ of habeas corpus is a court order addressed to a prison official (or other custodian) ordering that a detainee be brought to the court so it can be determined whether or not that person is imprisoned lawfully and whether or not he or she should be released from custody."It's pretty important that such a fundamental law like that is not revoked.

zanna: I am so bored by all this terrorist stuff now. I was more interested by gay animal show on the bbc site.
justin: Maybe we should simply announce to Al-Qaeda and all the Muslim extremists that they are boring all of us by constantly b*tching about sh*t and they don't even know what they are talking about.
gareth: That's the key! They're like annoying children: if you stop giving them the attention they want, they'll eventually stop bothering you.

Lost has been lost to Channel 4 in the UK. Poached, like most good things in life, by Sky. (via)
Marcus: "Sky One, which also broadcasts the hit shows '24' and 'Nip/Tuck', said it planned to make 'Lost' available on multiple digital platforms so audiences could watch it when they wanted."
Marcus: "Marcus, who also downloads a whole bunch of other hit US shows he'd rather not wait a year to watch either on C4 or some crappy pay TV platform, said he planned to make Lost available to himself by downloading it off the internet so he can watch it whenever he wanted".
Marcus: (Obviously I made that last bit up - of course I'd never download anything off the internet, ever. That's naughty and wrong and only helps terrorist paedophiles in their wicked deeds against freedom and democracy.)
justin: That stupid advert in cinemas about piracy "you wouldn't steal someone's purse would you?" - no, but if I could duplicate it exactly including the money and contents whilst the original owner remains unaffected, then yes, yes I would.
gareth: That's definitely something that gets on my nerves - it's not stealing at all if they still have it when you're done.
Gareth:

Marcus: (Due to the horrendous leval of semiliterate vitriol in the photo comments, ChavScum is possibly NSFW.)
Dave: If you can't tell that a site called ChavScum might be a little NSFW, then you probably shouldn't be reading this site.
gareth: I agree on both counts.
