the links in the words "100 things we didnt know". I think the fact its a link becomes hard to see if your monitor settings are off, tho it should be underlined as a link anyway, it is for me. Good old BBC using taxpayers license fees for important stuff like this!
Found the top 5 freeware games of 2005, I can't believe there is a Zak McKraken game in there, the original was amazing! Also the rest look and sound fantastic, they're all going on my must-do list for when I get caught in a time paradox loop and therefore manage to get some free time (my life is complicated right now, how's yours?).
The BBC lets us know 100 things we didn't know this time last year including gems like;
11. One in 10 Europeans is allegedly conceived in an Ikea bed.
23. In America it's possible to subpoena a dog.
45. C3PO and R2D2 do not speak to each other off-camera because the actors don't get on.
Pub conversation starters like that are gold-dust ! And who said the Dreamcast was dead anyway, this great machine (oh yes it was!) still has new games coming out for it!
Played the original and wasnt overly impressed with the stuff that seemed to be impressing everyone else. A mad seller though and i've often wondered why.
I stopped playing as the computer AI was mental, got to the stage where i occupied most of the map and then found the computer had like 10 times the armies i had but was just sitting them all in one square and not taking over the world like it clearly could (with ease!).
Northern Ireland didnt get any that sat
Remember Y2K? I still can't grasp if it was the biggest scam ever or if we just dodged that bullet. I suspect the former. Well, it's back only now its 2038. Stock up on tinned beans and water now folks.
The next GTA game is rumoured to be set in London.
Not sure why everyone thinks London is some sort of romantic victorian city when really it's just a dirty depressing dingy hole but there you go. I suspect the Olympic committee will come to rue the day they decided to send their precious games our way!
I give it 2 minutes before the porn industry jumps on this and finds a way to use and abuse it.
Whereas this delights and horrifies me in equal measures!
And i look foward to becoming a human LAN. Machines using us as energy sources, bloody hell, someone call Neo !
Battlefield 2 | December 27, 2005 at 04:55 PM
Anyone played it? I'm pretty sure i'm missing out on something special here, but am unsure as to how much single player content there is on it...
Ever downloaded a torrent just to find the rar files were password protected and no-one knows it or worse, you can't remember where you got the original link? Check out Rar Password Cracker.
Elsewhere, uber-geeks do stuff to shots from Mars to show a more accurate picture of the landscape. Like me, you may be shocked at the amount of strange blue dust and rocks
Want to learn to hack Google (kinda), check this out. The tutorial continues into the forum thread on that site.
Anyone else out there have a history with Commodore? Turns out they are still alive and making GPS systems. Weird!
Google decides to not piss off the Israeli's by limiting its satellite photos of their sensitive military installations..
Here is a public service announcement, avoid New Years Greeting Ecards, as they may likely contain evil viruses that will make your toes fall off.
This'll open a can of worms but my 8 year old nephew plays GTA San Andreas. Loves it too.
Wasn't my choice to let him play it, his useless parents didnt notice the 18 cert so he was playing it and the other GTA games for ages before I found out about it. Caused some controversy for me to say the least.
From playing it with him, i'm fairly happy the swearing and uber-violence goes over his head and is not having an effect. He just wants to drive around, wrecking things and blowing things up. Which is exactly what I would want to do at his age.
I can also remember seeing bits of movies that were inappropriate for me at an early age and they didnt do me any harm. I think.
Am somewhat lost as to how to ween him of GTA:SA, it is lets face it one of the most fantastic games ever, i cant tempt him off with many other games, nothing really compares!
Piracy | December 24, 2005 at 06:06 PM
I've found my own experience with piracy means i buy more original goods. Eg i download an artist i dont know, and if i like it I buy the original cd or follow up cds.
I dont think i've ever stopped myself from buying a game/cd etc that i REALLY wanted just because i thought i could likely download it for free.
Downloading games can be hit and miss anyway, nothing beats downloading something over 4 days and then finding out its in polish language, argh!
And there are a lot of tv shows i download, that i cannot see otherwise whatsoever, that i rave about to my mates, thereby promoting them.
Yeah i've installed a lot of quiet fans from quietpc.com and they generally do bring the noise down substantially but nothing yet has actually been silent - its a reflection of the power and heat output of the processors sadly

Britain is to become the first country in the world where the movements of all vehicles on the roads are recorded. A new national surveillance system will hold the records for at least two years.
Using a network of cameras that can automatically read every passing number plate, the plan is to build a huge database of vehicle movements so that the police and security services can analyse any journey a driver has made over several years.
The network will incorporate thousands of existing CCTV cameras which are being converted to read number plates automatically night and day to provide 24/7 coverage of all motorways and main roads, as well as towns, cities, ports and petrol-station forecourts.
