Geist: Canadian-backed report says music, movie, and software piracy is a market failure, not a legal one Also I'll give your article a peek later.

4th April I beat my first game of the year Dawn of War II. Dunno if I want to move onto a different game, or get Chaos Rising out of the way. Also: http://dl.dropbox.co...nts/Backlog.txt So yeah, any recommended games from that list?

Robot cars would mean perfectly managed traffic system potentially cutting congestion by a large amount because it's not relying on people who tend to be pretty selfish about the whole thing. Anyway: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/agriculture/geneticmodification/8423536/Genetically-modified-cows-produce-human-milk.html The chinese have created GM cows able to produce human-like breast milk (which means more nutritious as well as the greater immune boosting benefits we have from drinking human milk) Turns out Chinese, surprise surprise, have more relaxed GM laws for this kind of thing, hence them being allowed to splice human and cow DNA. I've just mentioned on twitter how it's weird that the concept of drinking human milk is pretty taboo. Obviously we don't have cow n human milk on the shelves cos humans don't produce enough to compete with cows, and cow milk is sustaining enough for daily needs. I'm well aware on the benefits of human milk, but I'm not sure where I'd be on the idea of going to the shop and having the option of cow milk, or GM Human-Cow milk. Even if it tasted the same, same texture, just the nutritional value of human milk I'd still have a mental hurdle on the concept of drinking human milk. Even writing out "human milk" seems a bit weird. Why are we more okay with drinking the milk of bovines than of our own species?

RPGs > Action Gamess, then MP FPS titles, then it kinda depends on the individual games. Casual titles are higher up my list than I think most folks would admit to as well.

It will still have a very Windows interface for the primary look. "Jupiter" is just like WMCE, an overlay to help control the PC should it not be controlled via kb+m. MS have come out n said they don't much care for tablets, doesn't stop their OEMs from trying to put Windows on tablets, and since the OEM's pay MS quite a lot of money, they'll generally try to please them. Hence the ARM support too. As and when more info on Jupiter pops up on the web I'll stick it up here, but for now what's known about it is just whispers of it in leaks from MS and random TWINUI.dll files.

Huh my bad. Must of linked in the wrong image, the one I thought I had linked was even called black.jpg. Hence my sureness. Kinda embarasing since I've been playing it. Does that mean puddles aren't new? Cos my houseamates played ruby onwards n the puddles were new to him.

The buildings are.

Black n White

It's the perfect world, none of the big bad evils of an adult world are present because it's made for kids. But you've still got cool stuff like pokemon, unlike a world like Catz. And there's some pretty nice areas to look at. For pure visuals I'd say Spira, but the Fiends and big huge apocalypse creating monsters hidden underground kinda make you a bit wary.

Get in line

Just a thread I'll be updating with Windows 8 stuff. http://www.neowin.ne...ui-in-windows-8 And for those interested the wallpaper: http://dl.dropbox.co...3-wallpaper.jpg The UI is meant to be Metro(The Win Phone 7 design) inspired in the final design (it's still heavily based on Windows 7 in looks at the moment because MS work on features first and the actual look last. Win 7 looked very much like Vista for the longest time) It's got a thing called Jupiter which I think is their Tablet/Surface/Netbook UI. Basically it'll have the regular desktop UI, but this Jupiter design which is much more flexible. e.g most programs in windows have the _[]X in the top corner, task bar at the top, menus etc. This Jupiter UI would be like how smartphone work with adaptive interfaces to what the program is for n doing as well as make it more touch friendly. An App Store using .appx files is also said to be launching. This is meant to be for the Jupiter side of things from what I'm reading, but I'd see no reason to extend it to normal apps (other than the fact there's a stupidly huge amount and if MS are running it they'd want some guarantee most of the apps are malware ) I'll update in future as n when, but it's looking pretty nice. Oh yeah this is also the first (desktop) version of Windows to support ARM architecture. So it'll work with tablet devices. (Since Intel have pretty much fucked up in that area apart from Atoms for Nettops/books.)

The criminals are generally inept, at 10 years old you're free, and safe, to go out on your own. The health care is free (thought water is expensive ), and the pets are pretty awesome. The only downside is in this world only Nintendo consoles exist.

And a teaser for torchwood. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rvtb325viAg

HAHAHA. Totally just reminded me of this: (You'll see why when you get to the end , though the title should give it away) You guys should then watch the Cadburies Eyebrow video for maximum "I am will never look at kids the same way"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2XoEgjpM8I They've really fucking cleaned up the trailer. (p.s does this warrant it's own thread?)

I'd guess special edition, they're normally as thick along spine as PS3/360 games PC case is thicker too, but that's got multiple discs in I assume.

The four of us moved in here, but last year Glenn dropped out of uni and moved back home, so we got a guy called Chris in. He called in cleaners twice (they get put onto our rent, yippee. He could of jsut asked us to clean), within the first month he'd broke the door of the washing machine by trying to open wit while locked. He's broken one of the kitchen cupboards, that's yet to be fixed, I think I'll be wood gluing it before we move out. Also he runs the tumble dryer almost non stop. Just like his gym kit or a few boxers, never a full load. And going by the amount written on my board it seems he thinks he's either not paying for his part of the TV license or he thinks he's not paying for 8 months of Internet. (TV license is £40~ each, and he's only one who actively watched TV. Internet is £5 each a month) There's still a few months. As for Ben n Tom the remaining two, we've known each other for about 5-6 years now, so yeah there's not much annoyances that those 5-6 years don't wash away. We're all pretty annoying to each other, but best of pals so yeah. Ben helps me through uni, I sort the bills, run tech support, Tom pays for our meals and joins me in taking the piss out of Bens insecurities of his height (he really needs to realise he's not short and us being "tall" wouldn't be an issue if he didn't think he was so short.)

Now that's pretty fancy.

You're 22? Damn, you need to gain like wrinkles or something. Look 17-18.

It slows things down, but it's not an action film. If it was action, action, action then things would be a bit iffy and too fast paced. It needs to reinforce their isolation a bit. In the other movies they've generally got the safety of the school, other students to back em up. Also they need some of the other slower scenes to back up that the wizarding world has gone 1984.

Any particular reasons or advantages to going to CM7?

A talk on Googles Driverless cars. Basically on how they're pretty good, could save millions of lives. But we don't yet have the correct mentality, so just a single human fatality would pretty much scrap the project. Basically we're fine with other people killing millions of other people. But a robot killing just one is totally unacceptable. I guess I can kind of understand, robots and math n all that are meant to be perfect, infallible. And you can't take a robot to court. p.s I've yet to see it, just the synopsis. As I said in the other thread, watching fifth element.

Watched Deathly Hallows Part 1. Pretty damn good. It's certainly gonna spook my little sister. She's only watched the films, but I knew what's coming at the end, it'll be Bambi all over again. Like all the films there's a few bits missing, but it all went along quite well. So yeah, now to wait for July. And at the moment watching Fifth Element, which is a pretty damn awesome film. Certainly in my top 5.
