Most fans of the Dark Knight appreciated the overall tone of the latest film to feature Bruce Wayne and his alter ego, Batman. The emphasis on Wayne's transformation into the Caped Crusader gave Batman Begins a psychological edge and complexity that... oh, who am I kidding? It was the Tumbler that we all loved. Typically outrageous without being overly cartoonish, it was a reconfigurable warship on wheels. With a follow-up film on its way, it was inevitable that rumors about the newest Batmobile would eventually surface.
BB 2 will take the series further back to its roots by featuring one of Batman's greatest archenemies, The Joker (here's his pretty pathetic set of wheels). It will also, apparently, bring back another iconic Bat vehicle: the Batcycle. Actually it is called the Batpod and, thanks to Gizmodo, we have a couple of pics of this new Batride to share. Our first reaction was that it looks like half of the Tumbler, minus the bodywork with the same chunky tires and mutating layout. The Batpod also features huge cannons up front and no immediately identifiable engine. Speculation suggests wheel-mounted electric motors. It's definitely intimidating, although we're not sure how those wheels will affect its driveability. Some have also noted its resemblance to the Tomahawk, minus the Viper V10. Where that Chrysler show bike is pure muscle, this thing looks more military.
We'll get to see more of the Batpod when The Dark Knight rolls into theaters next summer. Or as soon as more pics surface.
One more pic after the jump.

Issued at 630 PM CST Sun Nov 23 2014 Updated aviation discussion only. && .SHORT TERM...(Tonight through Tuesday night) Issued at 100 PM CST SUN NOV 23 2014 Certainty Pops are playing out as advertised, with large mass of overrunning rain anticipated to continue into the evening. Overnight, the parent Low will be lifting northeastward, and tightening the gradient substantially. Sustained Winds and Gusts will reach toward advisory criteria by 09Z and hold thru much of the day, as they shift from southerly to westerly upon system passage. Rain winds down accordingly as well. SWODY1 continues inclusion of thunder, and collab suggests we should too, at least thru mid evening. While we think it is unlikely, the elevated parameters do suggest its potential, so an isolated mention will hold til dropping off shortly after 03Z per the collab pic. Improving but cool conditions will mark the remainder of the short term forecast period as the system departs and lower heights hold with a surface high building in Tuesday. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Sunday) Issued at 100 PM CST SUN NOV 23 2014 A parting shot from the broad cyclonic flow will move through the WFO PAH forecast area at the beginning of the extended forecast period. Although the mean trough axis will be along the east end of the WFO PAH forecast area, one minor shortwave will dive down from the upper Midwest, phasing in to the trough axis during the day on Wednesday. The deterministic runs of the 00z Sunday ECMWF, Canadian (GEM), and the GFS Ensemble numerical guidance focus the shortwave a little further north over MN vs. the 12z Sunday deterministic GFS which places the shortwave over Central Illinois. The main impact of this spatial difference is the trajectory of the moisture/lift associated with the shortwave, with the GFS having the greatest potential for light precipitation on Wednesday. Will still acknowledge some minor precipitation chance for Wednesday, but anticipate it will have very minor impact for pre-Thanksgiving Day travelers. Beyond the Wednesday system, the persistent East Pacific closed low off the Western U.S. coastline will force a broad zonal flow eastward across the conterminous U.S. This will temper the cold air intrusions, but will place the WFO PAH forecast area within a tighter gradient flow from north to south. The southward extent of this gradient flow will impact the development of any shower activity in the sheared flow aloft for next weekend. Forecast confidence is low (less than 50%) as to the degree of precipitation coverage next weekend. Plan a compromise, keeping any rain chances focused toward the southern 1/3 of the WFO PAH forecast period during the Day 6 through 8 time period. && .AVIATION... Issued at 630 PM CST SUN NOV 23 2014 We are expecting improving vsbys as a low pressure system pulls away toward the Great Lakes this evening. Some showers may develop overnight ahead of a sfc cold front which is forecast to sweep west-to-east through the region. These showers are not expected to affect vsbys for significant lengths of time. Though there may be breaks here and there, the predominant cigs are expected to be IFR through the night with some potential LIFR, lifting some shortly after sunrise, especially in the wrn half of the region. Late in the night, winds are expected to howl in front of and behind the front, gusting to 25 to 30 kts.

Good shawerma in Chicago?
I'm visitting Chicago for the first time next week (from San Francisco). A former Chicago resident agrees with me that the San Francisco shawerma offerings are weak and claims that Chicago has options that are "way better". But sadly she can't offer any concrete suggestions.
I'm aiming to sample some of the Chicago shawerma offerings that are near to where I'll be, though I might have opportunity to venture out a little further for anything considered spectacular.
- I'll be staying at the Congress Plaza Hotel.
Address is 520 South Michigan Avenue.
Believe the neighborhood is considered "South Loop".
- Will be spending much of next Fri/Sat/Sun at The Hideout
for the Touch & Go Records 25th Anniversary Party. This is
at Wabansia & N. Elston. Neighborhood is shown as Bucktown /
Wicker Park.
Would much appreciate any shawerma recommendations in these areas!
The short answer is No, you are not going to find outstanding shawerma in either the South Loop or Bucktown/WP. The neighborhood you should go to is Albany Park, reachable via the Brown Line el, get off at the Kedzie stop. Search here and on lthforum.com for discussion of Salam, Semiramis, City Noor Kabab,... The neighborhood is an interesting mix of Arab, Mexican, Bosnian, with a lot of Korean just to the west. I'm not sure if any of these places serve after 10 (per your other query), but perhaps someone else can chime in.
enjoy your stay,
re: Amata
Shawerma can be tricky in terms of quality because an optimal degree of turnover is needed. Not enough and the meat can dry out while too much turnover can lead to poorly browned meat. This is the same problem with Greek gyros and Mexican al pastor. Nobody seems to be totally consistent, so you have the luck of the draw. The odds are better in Albany Park with a bunch of competing Middle Eastern restaurants from various ethnic and religious groups than in a yuppified area such as Wicker Park and Bucktown. In Albany Park most of the customers will be from the Middle East FWIW.
Salam and Semiramis are roughly across the street from each other on Kedzie just south of the Brown Line stop. Both serve shawerma that has been subject to debate on lthforum.com. Semiramis closes at 10 PM and is closed on Sundays. Most of the other Middle Eastern restaurants on that strip close at 10 PM. City Noor Kabab is roughly the same distance north of the station. Early on (two years ago)they were not using their vertical spit but were griddling the shawerma. It has been a couple of months since I ate there but seem to recall that the spit looked pretty pristine.
Mataam al Mataam (NW corner of Kedzie and Lawrence) used to be open 24 hours and may still be. I avoided it because it also used to be extremely smoky. It is on my list for trying in the near future if they seem to be complying with Chicago's ban on smoking in most restaurants.
The Adams and Wabash and State and Van Buren (Library) Brown Line stops on the Loop elevated line are very close to jflesh's hotel. None of these restaurants are more than a standard block from the Kedzie stop.
re: Eldon Kreider
I also should have noted that most Chowhound posts on the Kedzie restaurants are at least two years old. There have been a lot of changes since then with a fair number of older restaurants replaced be newer ones. City Noor Kabob had a pretty bumpy start but got their act together.
A little out of the way, but about two blocks north of the loop is a good Lebanese place called Kan Zaman (617 N. Wells). I've never had the Schawerma, but the Veggie plate, Hummus, and Gyros are all very good, so its a good all around place. I've been there a couple of times. FYI, its BYO, so bring your own (Binny's is a good beverage store nearby at 213 W. Grand. If you're walking/cabing from the loop, its on the way). Also, Belly Dancing on Friday/Saturday nights. Several good restaurants on the same block - Tizi Meloul, Crofton on Wells, Sushi Samba Rio, Lou Malnatis Pizza, Pepper Canister is a good Bar.
Babylon on Damen Avenue just North of Armitage serves up great middle eastern food. The homemade sharwerma is excellent.
GREEKTOWN: Very high quality food for dirt cheap prices.
Rodity's has delicious homemade Grecian style gyro's. A bit greasy but fantastic! Try the spanakopita as well.
Santorini at Adams and Halsted for more upscale serene atmosphere. Amazing seafood, lamb, steak, etc.
Dunno if they're open on weekends, but there is one possibility downtown: Oasis Cafe, at the back of the Jeweler's Mall at 21 N. Wabash. Cheap, tasty, high turnover (again, don't know what the deal is on weekends). It seems Lebanese to me.
If you need any watch repair or maybe a ring stretched or engraved, you could also get that taken care of while you eat.
Re Oasis, Metromix says:
"Oasis is closed (they are moving to 17 S. Wabash Avenue). The target reopening is October of 2006."
I agree that Oasis (when open) is a good lunchtime option considering the limited offerings in the Loop. But it closes pretty early, or at least it used to (for future reference).
Pita Inn, 3910 Dempster in Skokie (north shore suburb), 847-677-0211, lunch and dinner only. It's a long cab ride, and not readily accessible by El or Metra. Clientele is mostly Middle Eastern, college kids and chowhounds (average tab is about $8). This is not a hip foodie place - tables are battered, and don't take a real close look at the floor. But the shawarma is awesome, unless you're a purist who needs to eat shawarma from a pushcart. Expect to wait for a table, unless you go about 3-4 in the afternoon. If you speak Arabic, you may have more leeway in ordering specials. Have fun in Chicago -
re: Grenouille
I love the Pita Inn, but Skokie is a LOOONG Cab ride from 520 S. Michigan - probably a $30-40 cab ride each way. Could be an hour ride if you get stuck in rush hour. And not a lot of cabs up that way when it comes time to go back. But you're right - it is great cheap food. I go to the one out in Glenview every couple of weeks. If only they'd open one in the loop...
re: jonesybot
Hmmm. Thanks for the Al Khayyam-eh rec. What stands out at Al K.? Have you tried Babylon on Damen? It's definitely above average and better than most. Everything is incredibly fresh.
re: jonesybot
i tried this one out as my first arab retaraunt here and it was good. all the ingredients were very fresh. i had the chicken shawarma and it was good but not rediculous or anything. it doesnt compare to the schawarma i had in dubai 2 weeks ago but maybe thats an unrealistic comparison.
Many thanks for all of the suggestions. Was able to take the
Brown Line out to the Kedzie stop on Friday afternoon before the show started. Saw Semirami's and Salam and what could have been a handful of similar places judging by the signage.
Ended up at Salam, largely chosen because of the minimalist decor and a fair scattering of consistently Middle Eastern clientele (which seemed like a good real-time endorsement to me).
Tried the chicken shawerma, and while the pita and fixings were good (esp. the onion), the chicken itself was on the dry side -- I worry I came late-in-game, as the chicken rotating on the spit looked close to depleted, suggesting maybe I was coming in after the tail end of the lunch crowd (circa 3 PM).
Still, this certainly had potential, and would've been solid had the chicken not dried out.
The hummus was very good however -- very vibrant chick pea flavor, with fresh whole chick peas served as a garnish in the center (I'd never seen this presentation before). And the
baba ghanoush was _phenomenal_. Really smooth with a great crisp smokey flavor. BG was hands-down the high point of the meal.
This Kedzie-area (Albany Park?) appears to be a great neighborhood for food; we don't have any similarly concentrated Middle Eastern fare in San Francisco. May have targetted Al Khayyam-eh for the chicken shawerma had the rec come in time for my trip, but hopefully I'll get to try it next time!
Again, many thanks to all for the suggestions. Also spoke to a couple of folks at the show who recommended Sultan's Market
on North Ave (fairly close to The Hideout, I was told).
But their description seemed to _praise_ the fact that the chicken shawerma was soaking wet with tahini, and I usually consider that a fatal flaw (common in SF shawerma too).
Who wants to eat a cold homogenous mess? And while I enjoyed our conversation otherwise, they kinda lost credibility on the
shawerma. Not sure if anyone here has any additional comments about whether Sultan's Market is worth trying.
Am looking forward to referencing this material again the next time I visit! Thanks again!
re: jflesh
Hi J,
as I said in your other thread, it's wonderful to get a report back from a visitor. Thanks! And I'm glad you made the trek out to Albany Park and had a good meal at Salam. So much of the great food in Chicago is in the outlying neighborhoods like Albany Park, and it's a shame that most visitors to the city don't explore them.
Re Sultan's Market, here's something to confirm your intuition:)
(perhaps the author of that post will add further comments here :-)?
It was funny, when I read your report I thought, "Oh, CHICKEN shawerma??" It made me realize that when I think shawerma I have beef or beef/lamb in mind. I suppose this fits the stereotype of Chicago as a red meat kind of town!

It's a sign of the times, more people are receiving assistance with food in El Paso County.
You'll find long lines at the Department of Human Services--people waiting for help. DHS says about 14,000 more people are receiving food stamps this year compared to 2009. That's an increase of about 30%.
We're told the people who are lining up now, have exhausted all of their options.

November 27, 2014
NEW YORK (AP) - The Recording Industry Association of America is expanding its gold and platinum certification program to include song streams on the Internet.
The first round of 56 combined digital single awards counting both downloads and streams go to artists like Eminem, Adele, Justin Bieber and Carly Rae Jepsen.
The RIAA is the latest to recognize the popularity of streaming music over the Internet. Billboard also recently changed its chart system to include streams. The gold and platinum certifications will be based on data from on-demand streaming services like Spotify and Rhapsody and video streaming services like YouTube and Yahoo! Previously, only song sales had been recognized.
The RIAA says in a Thursday news release that 27 artists will receive multi-platinum certification, 18 platinum and 11 gold.

Now Apple wants Samsung S III, Galaxy Notes off the shelves too
*shakes head in disbelieve*
If was was a cynical person I would say that Apple would win this to increase relations between the US and China. If I was a cynical person........
FFS it will not be long until the only phone supplier in the US will be Apple, and then what!
Apple are like a big kid and imho need a good slap across the arse and put on the naughty step
MSI mobo ditches Bios for EFI
Old news
BIOS is old, but it works and has a smaller footprint than EFI.
It takes up more space on the board and therefore costs more......remove the over the top functionality...My God I can play a game crap.
Also I will not trust any manufacturer who cannot spell CONTROL (not Contorol - see page 4 second picture), how many typos are in the code then......?
I can quite happily OC any mobo from good old text using a KEYBOARD.
WAIT...........I have just realised, I could make a fortune from private jobs from PEBKAC (Problem exists between Keyboard and Chair) errors cause they have clicked on something then clicking on YEs when it says 'Are you Sure' (All accientally of course).
EFI.....when can you start all is forgiven Kerching..........

Next Windows name unveiled: Windows 7
It may be a surprise but this is Version 7
I have the answer
Windows 1.0 - Version 1
Windows 2.0 - Version 2
Windows 3.1, 3.11, NT 3.51 were all variations of Version 3.0
Windows 95/98/ME and NT 4 were all varitations of Version 4.0
Windows 2000/XP were all variations of Version 5.0 (2000 was 5.0.nnn, XP 5.1.nnnn)
Vista was version 6.n.nnn
Therefore the next will be 7.
PHEW thats that arguement sorted...............i think ;-)

In one hand I have the ability to download 1.25MB of Data a Second or 75MB a minute, or 4.5 GB an hour or 108GB a day. In theory then how long exactly would it take me to get past the fair usage policy? I would imaging less than a day.
In the other I have a letter threatening me with disconnection due to sharing illegal files.
What is the frigging point in having 10Mb then for?
Does the data protection act not protect me, or has the terrorism act overridden that. Will it become illegal to encrypt everything just incase you are sending instructions on bomb making.
Where will the complete and utter B*ll*cks stop

In Post: Like all law-abiding companies, we comply with local laws and valid legal process, such as court orders and subpoenas. In compliance with valid Indian legal process, we provided Indian law enforcement authorities with the IP address information they requested in this case
Google were asked for the details under Indian Law. I would rather Google get in trouble for COMPLYING with the law rather than BREAKING it.

HP begs AMD PC owners to put XP SP3 on ice
hmmm, not had a problem yet
Reformatted 4 AMD computers (all under 2GHz chip speed single core) and installed XP. First main update was SP3. All 4 AMD machines ran the SP update and rebooted fine.
The only glitch was having to manually register wups2.dll (stopped updates installing)

However a (non IT) manager tells us that there was users data on it (It beggars belief how many users will NOT save on the frigging network) and can we please get her data. After showing him the damage he still requests an attempt. One hour later I had managed to prise what was left of the case off to reveal un damaged platters!!!!!. Moved them to a good (same spec) drive and hey prestro, the users files back, well all frigging 25MB of it........;-)

Obituary: HD DVD 2002-2008
Looking back at the history of formats
Reading up in the history of the CD, DVD, etc etc, Sony with Phillips (and other manufacturers) have been developing new Disc formats for a good many years. Due to this I backup Blu-Ray from the start of this war.
However, I suspect that the HD DVD format is not totally dead and buried yet....even though the coffin has been bought and the hammer at the ready.
Time to look out on Ebay for some good HD DVD deals

Dell XPS M1330 laptop
@John W
Why do people like you blame Dell for an Operating System Flaw. Do you see HP, Fujistu or Toshiba telling you that.....NO.
For those who do not have an idea what we are talking about it appears that Microsofts Operating Systems can only allocate a Maximum of 4GB of RAM. If for example you have a 256MB Graphics Card, Windows allocates 256MB of addresses, meaning that Windows can only see 3.75 GB of RAM.
If you have a Beast of a computer with two 512MB Graphics cards Windows will only be able to access 3GB of memory even if you have 4GB installed.
Its good to see that after all these years Microsoft are still shite at designing an OS for a top end machine.

Cloudy outlook for climate models
Political Crap
Climate change,
If I believed all I was told in the 1980s, we would have no oil and no ice. Hmm we still have shed loads of both.
And as for 'Global Warming' my father was telling me how in the 70's we were experiencing 'Global Cooling'. Go figure
As a non scientist I read what you all write and have spend time reading books and doing research on this 'Climate Issue'. To be fair I read up on both arguments. What did I find out:
That you appear (remember not scientist) to simply make the facts fit the crime.
Now IMHO from my research:
We are in a warming period: Our eliptical orbit has taken us closer to the sun. Graphs created by sceintists show that the temperature is not as high as the highest ever.
Ice is melting: See last point.
Less rain: Recent higher solar activity blowing causing solar winds which in turn blow ions from the atmosphere (required to hold water)
CO2 levels high: Caused partially by us, however forest fires and Volcanic eruptions odvisouly have nothing to do with that. Of course knocking down miles of rainforest has nothing to do with that either. However CO2 levels have been a lot higher and hmmm Earth is still habitable.
CO2 ocean sinks not working as well: Underwater volcanos, releasing shed loads of CO2 straight into the sink. Need I go on.....
I am not going to go on, as no doubt there will be plenty of people who will disprove what I say. But I am not paid by the governments of this world to 'manufacturer' a reason to tax the f*ck out of me.
REMEMBER I am a IT bod NOT a scientist.
Simply put: As long as Governments in the world can get as much money as possible, ANY theory no matter how far fetched can be proved/disproved.
Remember no matter what the human race can do, nature can do one hundred fold worse. One average Volcanic eruption will emit more crap than what we can do in our cars in at least 100 years. Imagaine, just Imagine if Yellowstone (as it has before) blows again. Man what we humans have done will be totally and utterlty irrelevant.

Me: Have you done anything to it.
Her: Yes I topped up the fluids.
Me: Looked around and saw nothing but a watering can. What did you top up
Her: Everything
Took oil filler cap off.........
She had 'filled' the car up with water. It took me 10 trips but its topped up.
Me: At this time trying not to laugh....Call the AA
The AA came and drained her oil/gallons of water. He then towed her to a garage where she had her fuel, oil, brakes and power steering drained.

Are these the same people
who are happy to pay tax to combat 'global warming'.
Looking at the world atm it is run by idiots and dictators, so no wonder why the flock are following their shepards.
Between Gordon Brown and President Bush there is such a huge gulf between what they say and reality it is only comparable with the space in their heads.
When we get sane, intelligent leaders (Yes I know winning the lottery is more likely) there will be better shepards and more intelligent flocks.

If 7 million managed to get through and 2000 couldn't. That means an outstanding 0.028% got the busy line. I think ITV could not have done better than that. If Leon won through votes HE WON GET OVER IT.
If I had a choice of a lad off the street and one with 5 years vocal training, I would vote for the natural, not taught talent.
What makes me laugh is that there were 7 million people who paid 10p per call to vote. Thats £700,000 minimum from the final alone.
That £700,000 would have done a lot better going to people who at this time of year need shelter or food.
Come on people that are more important things at Christmas than who won a REALITY SHOW. GROW THE F**K UP and stop your whinging

Virgin Media network collapses nationwide
On the Plus side
I think Virgin are getting there, they are infinately better than NTL
Been a Diamond Cable/NTL/Virgin customer for 12 years now. In all that time I have only had approx 5 hours of downtime on my phoneline/broadband in total. My mates BT line is lucky to stay up for 5 hours, with rude phone support.
The TV Box, however has gone down about 5 times (replacement boxes cured them).
Every time I rung NTL it was like banging my head against a brick wall. Now Virgin have taken over, I have found them to actucally be most helpful, even though I have been talking to people in India.
Virgin even corrected NTLs diasterous billing errors within 1 phone call. (Got 3 months free due to overbilling)
As for last night, was browsing and watching TV fine.

The New Armed Forces Ad:
Would you like to serve your country? Would you like to visit exotic places. All training will be supplied. In return we will offer you:
Free return travel to your desination (single travel if you die in service)
Good rates of pay. (We cannot guarantee regular payments)
Compensation in case of injury. (The more you risk your life the less you get)
All uniform and guns supplied free of charge (Due to stock issues we cannot guarantee bullets or bullet proof armour)
Meet friendly and outgoing locals (Who may want to kill you)
For free information please contact 0800-NORESPECT or text FORYOU.
Before anyone thinks otherwise, I personally have a LOT of respect for those in the Armed Forces. I also think that for what you do, you are treated both unfairly and without respect by the Governments who ask you to serve.

Microsoft on the hunt for 'serious' Windows flaw
I helped a total IT illeterate sent up his router.
In 4 years:
How many viruses has he had....none,
All I did was instruct him to do a google for 'secure my router' and then he followed the instructions.
He did is within 10 minutes and did not need me to do anything but check.
He (Not me) set up:
His router has a unique password, it blocks ports (except ones used), its own firewall is enabled. Windows is fully up to date (with its own firewall running as well)
As he only has two PCs on his wireless network he has assigned 2 IP address (assigned to MAC addresses), so even if a hacker wanted in they would not get an IP Address by hacking into the Wireless
You do not have to be an IT boffin to secure your router, the ablity to do a simple search and follow very simple instructions is all you need.

Wii regains US next-gen console arena leadership
For the last time.....
The Wii is NOT a designed to be competitor for either M$ or Sony. The race is between M$ and Sony and not anything to do with Nintendo.
Its just that Nintendo price things within Mr and Mrs J Bloggs price range. Also this is only 1 Wii. M$ and Sony should make their top console within the reach of ALL. Give people a choice of different models of the same system(expecially confusing ones) and they will go into DUMMY MODE. They then see the Wii are relealise that there is 1 model and they go for it.

However the fact that the Wii sold shed loads more that the others put together means the others are basically doing shite in Japan.
Also with the new Mario Party game coming out I feel the gap may widen for a month or too.
Just one thing thou.........How is it a Console which is not a competitor for the XBox or PS3 (Nintendos own words) is selling better than the graphically superiors Colsoles......
Cheaper Maybe.......Could it be because it gets you off your seat and more active.......Maybe.......or is it that the product was aimed for the whole market and for all ages.
As I have said in previous posts, if the XBox and PS3 was cheaper with cheaper games they they will do better. Oh look they have both dropped their prices and well they are still not selling that well.
Just my 2c = 2p worth

IT exam overseer fails test
If Only
The government would check over what the government does. Wouldn't it be nice for the government to say that the government is not doing its job properly and should stand down and have an immediate General Election.
Is anyone else confused ;-)

Rhys Jones 'killer' named on YouTube
First, what the fuck were you losers going on about grammar for, ffs this article is about a serious issue.
I can see why gun and knife crime are on the increase - too many losers out their pointing out how they are better than the next (in this case grammar).
Lets get to the issue here, a young boy tragically lost his life when a bullet struck him. Does it frigging matter if it was meant for him or not.
Its time to get the little 'Street Cred/Respect' shits off the street, its time to disperse the gangs, its time to get OUR communities back from these wankers who think shooting a gun gives them respect. What will happen to the killer, will he go to prison or more likely go on a fucking safari on OUR hardearned tax money.
We have fought and stood together as a nation in TWO world wars, and yet in some communites we bow down to the gangs. I am not blaming those innocents people living in these communities, as being alive is better than dead.
For the sake of Rhys and all others killed through mindless and fucking street cred crimes its time for the nation to stand together, and unite in making ALL communities safe for OUR children. Before anyone thinks why can't the government sort this out. They are more worried about their pockets than our lives.
No doubt half the readers here will be concentrating on my spelling and grammar that the point made, to them GET A FUCKING LIFE!
Record industry pushes ISPs to cut off file sharers
Lets See:
Its the year 2010:
All ISPs are running at a max 512Mb/s due to scanning all data passing through.
You have a £500 per year Video/DVDRW License (just incase you record something from TV
You have a £500 fine everytime your next door neighbour or man on the street hears music from your CD player.
All Cars have a device limiting the sound output (Failure to do this is 3 years in jail) so noone can hear your music.
And everyone has the same boring ring, ring ringtone on their mobile
Apple have the monopoloy on music downloads, and it now the richest company in the world (thats to its pay twice policy). They have also introduced fines for those who unlock their iPhones.
Over the top.......I suspect not ;-)
Motorola: Apple will not open the iPhone
Simple Ansa
Just don't buy the damn over priced Jesus Phones.
I can get 500 mins and 100 texts a month for just under £20.
If the iPhone was every released for that price then I would consider it.
FFS the bottom line it is a Frigging phone with many extras. At the end of the day most people will use it for Music, Video, Sending/Receiving Calls/Texts and the executives may use a email client.
Guess what my phone does that with a fantasic camera (shite camera on iPhone). Why oh Why would I want a phone on contract I have to sell my soul for.

Police bail OiNK admin after filesharing raid
Well, well, well
CONGRATULATIONS to all the Police making the arrest what a SUPERB use of resources.............NOT!!!!!!! :-(
I am totally and utterly fed up with the monkeys who govern this country. Why the FUCK are we following the American music industry.
What makes me laugh it that they are keeping his name quiet but PHOTOED him. What a bunch of tossers.
And in the news, as well as the raid on the house of an p2p user, the media has reason to believe that the reason the police did not go to the other 5 emergencies at the same time is they were understaffed. Unfortunately due to understaffing the police have yet to follow up on:
A known phedophile sitting in a busy park.
Three youths going down the high street brandishing Knives and Guns
Three children killed as a drunk driver jumps a red light.
However the media have just learnt that the local police have spent the day raiding the local ISP, as they have not done anything about file sharing. Gordon Brown states that this is a reasonable use of resources and that many lives will have been saved due to less illegal music being played.
Over the top........well who knows with the governments crime fiction sorry statistics.
Nu Labour strikes again..........Please can we have an election....QUICK!
Cops crash invite-only BitTorrent network
And just down the road......
......are 3 pedophiles busy talking to our young people on the internet, half a dozen youths with 'street cred' sorry i mean knives and a 9mm, while a drunk driver is speeding down a road near a just finished school.
But WELL done you caught a a software pirate who is SO much more dangerous than the above.
As long as the frigging Taxman is happy eh?

Virgin Media pins hopes on the broadband donkey
A few Points
I have been Diamond Cable/NTL/Virgin customer for 5 years. Their service (I have M TV and M Broadband) has only rarely caused me to ring them.
However there 'technical support' need huge improvement. I use a wireless router and the connects to my NTL modem. When it stops I remove the network cable connecting them (so nothing connected to the modem except power and the NTL Cable). The 'techie' asked me to reboot my PC. I explained that my modem is not connected to my PC and my broadband goes through my router, which had already been rebooted and the network cable removed. (The router was fine, just wasn't getting an IP address from the NTL Box). He again asked me to reboot my PC, and again I explained to him. Guess what, he told me he could not help me unless I reboot my PC.
I asked to speak to a manager. The manager explained that the PC reboot was essentail because it is my PC causing the NTL box to not give my router an IP address. (Remember my PC is connected to my router not the modem).
I asked him what qualifications he has. He 'claimed' to have just received his MCSE. After picking myself off the floor laughing I asked him to maybe ping my NTL box just to make sure it is working. (the connection was there just very unstable) I even rebooted the NTL box for him. Guess what connection. Ended up with a new NTL modem...........!
The best part was when I asked the 'MCSE' manager about the OSI layers for detecting networking issues and he said, whats an OSI layer........Nuff said
I also remember when NTL contractors drilled though my employers 100MB site link......buts that for another day.
Rockstar to battle BBFC over Manhunt 2 ban
It should NOT be banned, I grew up playing SOF and GTA. I have never felt the urge to go out and shoot/stab people.
Whats next: I can also see the BBFC also banning all car games incase the local car theif kills someone in a car they cannot control while driving said stolen car at 100 mph. I can just see the papers - I could drive at 100 on my PS3!
And after that all Flight simulators incase it may teach the terrorists how to fly
After that RPGs like Final Fantasy with its sword fights.
Even Mario could be banned when kids say that they were copying Mario after jumping on someone.
I can see that in about 10 years Pong may make a serious comeback.
FFS people its about time Parents stopped letting kids play the games unless thay can bring their kids up knowing right from wrong and the REAL respect NOT Street CRED Respect

The One-Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson.
Swedish humor is NOT an oxymoron :>
Author and satirist Jonas Jonasson, has written a fictional history of an everyman, who does everything his own way, lives over 100 years, manages not only to be at major world events, but also, be intimately involved in them, changing the course of history to what we have studied at school. Funny we never learned that our jaunty, one-of-a-kind anti-hero, actually made it ALL happen!
Be ready to laugh out loud and wonder how our author made up this shaggy dog story. Wouldn't we like to live our lives exactly as we wished and manage to end up rich and with the perfect gorgeous mate?
Join us at the Lakeview Book Club to talk about it and have more laughs!

Wenger: United are the best and deserve title
Arsene Wenger last night told Sir Alex Ferguson: Your Manchester United side are the best. The Premier League champions can retain their title by taking just a point against Arsenal at Old Trafford tomorrow. And Wenger, whose team trail a distant fourth, admits the table does not lie. He said: "The 18-point gap is a reflection we have to take on the chin. What people forget is that we were very far behind and we dropped too many points. Man United are world champions, European champions and will be champions of England. Everybody has to cope with that, not accept it and come back next year and beat them." United can complete another Double by beating Barcelona in the Champions League final later this month. And after years of bitter fighting over the Premier League title, the French manager insisted this season his fiercest opponents will be worthy winners. "Manchester United have been better than us without a doubt, the whole season." said Wenger. "They played under pressure, Liverpool won the day before, the next day they come out and they believe they will win." - Neil McLeman, Daily Mirror
The Carlos Tevez affair continues to rumble on. The Sun reports how a Euro chief claims his contract is worthless and can be broken. Meanwhile The Independent tips "Tevez to walk over haggling" - a reference to United chief executive David Gill apparently negotiating a transfer fee with the Argentinian's owner, Kia Joorabchian.
Elsewhere, Wayne Rooney has vowed to silence Arsenal supporters by winning the title on Saturday, according to the Daily Telegraph. The England striker has reportedly grown tired of taunts from fans of the Gunners, who were the last team to seal a league championship at Old Trafford in 2002.
