Most kids are watching CBBC or CBeebies anyway, not BBC1. They're looking for their kids programmes there, so it makes sense to shift it. Of more concern is what they decide to replace it with. More of that bald Dom bloke chasing dodgy builders? Or something about antiques, more likely
Okay, we've shot the solar powered route down. Why not a combination of solar and wind ( would be popular with Register staffers, ha ha ha) ? Run the thing constantly, even out of drought and use it to top up aquifers and the water table.
Set up a few smaller plants along the estuary and leave them to keep working, then we'd have plenty of cheap water with less whining from the hand-wringers.

Actually, just thinking about it, ten times bigger? Modern fleas are only a few millimetres long, so they'd not be that massive would they? Maybe 15 - 30mm long?
/squirts Frontline on back of neck, just to be sure.

There's a really unpleasant bit in Will Ferrell vehicle Land of the Lost where he gets drained by a massive blood sucking insect. Am I the only person who finds Ferrell not as funny as everyone says he is?

"Real guns you need to aim ahead, game guns you don't."
Not sure what games you're playing. Was on BF3 last night, long range sniping down a street, you have to account for bullet drop and the fact you're trying to hit a guy running across the road means you aim ahead. I discovered I'm pretty crap at long range sniper shooting.
Ha ha, I thought this as well, though it sounds far too risky for the Puppeteers to use a supermassive black hole to achieve escape velocity. Unless of course they weren't inhabiting the system at the time. Though that would mean they had to have added the Fleet of Worlds at a later date...
Didn't somebody work out if the Pak used controlled solar flares to move their sun, it would leave the Ringworld behind?
we're not working on it and can everybody just shut up. That way if you are you could spring it on us and then everyone would be happy? Even if it's not very good?
Come on Gabe, Half Life fans are going to start dying of old age soon. Throw us a fricken bone, here.
The problem is if it keeps happening, then people can't access games they've paid
to be able to play. I quite like Steam, it's a good platform, but with such a massive user base it's got to be reliable. Especially now EA is trying to get it's Origin system off the ground. Although having seen that, it comes across as a soulless carbon copy of Steam.
Speaking of which, does anybody else think that the whole Battlefield 3 browser thing is a bit mental?
There have been some genuinely good moments though,
the kid in a gasmask was proper scary and so was the Blink episode. Them things in suits were horrible as well, but I have to agree that the end of season episodes tend to be rather touchy feely soft. A proper visceral episode would be good, something horrible with Baker era too-wide smiles and weirdness. I reckon Matt Smith could do this and Moffat could write it if he can shake off some of the RTD-isms.
The cult of Jobs now has the kernel of an afterlife myth. If only people buy Apple products and services, they too may follow Steve into a smooth, minimalist version of heaven. You aren't allowed out though and there's a strict dress code.
The best thing about zombies is the noise they make when you hit them with a shovel.
Been playing Dead Island, you see, though not as fun as using the guitar in Left 4 Dead (not technically zombies, of course).
A lot of people like zombie movies because they like the survival aspect of the aftermath and wonder how they would get on in the event of a zombocalypse, rather than being a zombie (which is probably the more likely outcome).
Personally, I think B&Q would be my first port of call. Lots of good weaponisable stuff in B&Q.
played through several times on the Mega Drive, then went and found a copy of Another World and played that to death as well. The graphics were pretty unique for the time and still stand out today. I think it was the fluid movement of the characters that made it also, the freaky aliens were cool as well.
I still can't believe John Woo made such a fcukup of Payback
The original short story is fast paced and actually reads like a treatment for an action movie, yet the film was tedium incarnate. They should try remaking that instead as the original (unlike Total Recall) is a crime.
So in essence, it sounds less of a remake and more like an enitrely
different film in all but name, with a vague nod to the original concept. Why call it Total Recall? It's irksome to fans of the original story and the film and means nothing to the kids they're expecting to pay to watch it.
He can give me 2 million quid then spend the rest of the year trying to cagde it back. He will, I fear be unsuccessful. But I'm sure important life lessons will be learned by all concerned.
but voting for popular players (something of an oxymoron in most of the games I've played online) seems doomed to fail, abused by players that can and despised by players that can't.
I'm sure some sort of reward for gamers that play a lot would be better (Nintendo already thought of this with their stars vouchers given away in Wii and DS games), which players can put towards new games.
That said, I'm happy when I get a new weapon or a hat in TF2. Maybe hats are the way to go, with lumps of coal for the trolls.
Paris, because she may or not be popular with gamers.

Console monkeys will be getting owned by their keyboard and mouse wielding PC gamer overlords
in the FPS stakes.
But again I ask, what am I supposed to do when my shitty connection goes down.
Anyone for Ker-Plunk?
What does it matter?

Dear Japan,
Seriously, you chaps need to get out more.
Regards
The rest of the world.
^This in spades
I've seen more convincing student projects than this effort. Low fucking poly!
Meh
I'll stick with BF3 on PC I reckon, despite the bugs and the cheats.

Well, it worked in Sim City 2000.
It looks like a ferret
in insect fancy dress.

Tsk. Shelbyville kids.
Now if he'd been from Springfield...
Your acronym in the title doesn't work.
Office of Screwing Over Murdoch would be OSOM or OOSOM, not OFCOM.
I just thought I'd point it out.
Am I the only person that quite enjoyed
War of the Worlds? Sickening Spielberg schmaltz aside, it has it has some truly awesome moments.
Paris because she's made some terrible, terrible films.
Re: You've nailed it!
I just stopped using it because it's fucking shit.
I wonder what he traded?
Spare jarate would be my bet.
It's clear who wears the hats in that relationship
I wonder if she crafted them herself?
It all sounds rather preposterous.
Why would a PM pay for an exclusive app to do something he has staff to do for him?
More likely this is a non- story that's just there to wind up the speak your branes crowd.
Two peaks above water?
The Lara Croft references just keep on coming.
Thought it was going to be sexy,
turns out it was just creepy.
Why not just say
we're not working on it and can everybody just shut up. That way if you are you could spring it on us and then everyone would be happy? Even if it's not very good?

He should apply for listed status,
or enter it in the Turner prize.

Something like this happened last month as well, though I don't think we ever got an explanation.
Very frustrating as I'd just got back into TF2 as well.
Who's the Mount & Blade fan?
I think we should be told.
If he was into Trek instead,
springing him from jail would be a doddle.
Perhaps someone at the Mail has finally seen themselves for what they are
and through wracking sobs of self-loathing nuked the website for the good of humanity.
I do know he wrote those episodes. Credit me with some intelligence.
He is responsible for the series as a whole now. I think there's still a bit too much legacy of RTD in there. So ner, fartface.
There have been some genuinely good moments though,
the kid in a gasmask was proper scary and so was the Blink episode. Them things in suits were horrible as well, but I have to agree that the end of season episodes tend to be rather touchy feely soft.

Also, Rory is ace.
Mount & Blade!
I spy the loading screen from Mount and Blade Warband in the article link.

Jason Statham
He can have a bare knuckle fight with Microsoft stooges in a warehouse and use his shirt as a weapon. Bill Gates to be played by Alan Rickman.
Six Macs in the front room?
Do you live in a shop?
I think you need to clarify what these figures represent.
It's the number of transactions positvely identified between journos and private investigators. Or something.
No we tried that.
Why? 42.
See? It doesn't scan.
Turbocycles in 'Galactica 1980' managed it alright.

I wouldn't call it stylish.
It's an ugly bugger is what it is.
I live near Bolton and I think I'll be checking Borat's out.
It sounds great. What was that phone number again?
Vaudeville?
Somebody forgot to tell Varg Vikernes then.
Phil Harrison
Used to come in for a lot of stick on UK Resistance I seem to recall.
The only reason gaming is the top activity on the iPad is there's fuck all else you can use it for.
Let's not mention the incest
that must have happened to repopulate the earth afterwards. Let's just not.

would be an ecumenical matter."

Is it in 3d?
If he wants a challenge next year
He can give me 2 million quid then spend the rest of the year trying to cagde it back. He will, I fear be unsuccessful. But I'm sure important life lessons will be learned by all concerned.
Why bother trying to shoehorn such a long-winded name into an acronym?
They could have just called it Geoff.
Windows Live Family Safety logs site visits.
Not sure whether it covers inprivate browsing, but it defauts Google and Bing to safe search etc. Great fun can be had setting access times.
Best option is keep the PC in a family room and keep an eye on what they're doing.
I agree with rewarding committed gamers
but voting for popular players (something of an oxymoron in most of the games I've played online) seems doomed to fail, abused by players that can and despised by players that can't.
