  • http://www.stuff.co.nz/oddstuff/6366659/Thieves-steal-glacial-ice-by-the-tonne Now he's under arrest for robbery. O_o What? Theft i could understand to an extent, but robbery? I'm not sure how that one works... Also, lol @ trying to sell it as up…
  • http://alaskareport.posterous.com/workers-build-a-footpath-around-the-vertigino Scary job, but it looks awesome when done. I'd love to be able to visit that. Very cool. I'm not sure about the scary part though, it looks like the ones doing the mos…
  • Indeed, the article is poorly worded in terms of what the accused was convicted of. Assault should have definitely been prioritized ahead of theft, but then theft of virtual goods is relatively rare and makes for a more interesting headline. Edit: …
  • Those who don't want to deal with resizing due to the attachment restrictions can use the html image tag as follows: So this is what i posted to get mine to show: Which results in this: Beats having to resize a 2048x1536 image to fit :P
  • http://mashable.com/2012/01/20/sopa-is-dead-smith-pulls-bill/ So the bills have officially been shelved, probably for the rest of the year minimum. Good. Also worth reading given it's multitude of links from what was apparently a very busy week on…
  • http://blogs.discovery.com/animal_news/2011/11/dog-saves-family-six-hours-after-being-adopted.html Cute story Film story. I dunno if it would make much of a film (then again with what Hollywood's been shoveling out lately this sounds like 3/4s of…
  • Relevant to this discussion: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2399105,00.asp http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16642369 While i don't doubt most of it's traffic was driven by pirated content, it's still sad to see the site go down
  • Since SOPA/PIPA have their own thread, new subject: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-16597191 Strangely interesting. It's a tough decision really, IMO a leap hour is too much, but there are no other nice round numbers in between besid…
  • I don't think it's going to be shelved anytime soon: http://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/6269950/US-online-piracy-bill-headed-for-major-makeover http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/6276024/Controversial-SOPA-debate-to-continue-next-month
  • http://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/digital-living/6260226/Facebk-number-plate-on-the-market-for-1-2m I wonder why nobody doesn't just steal them...? And no Ixta that's not my kleptomania talking, it's a legitimate question :P
  • I like the idea of it, but i question it's practicality outside of being a message/news board and as a trippy digital window to fool people with using various screensavers/videos. I mean it's not something you'll want for general computing use since…
  • While there are many frivolous lawsuits about, this one i don't think is for a stupid reason. I agree with Lynog, sure it's a stunt but it does thrust a legitimate issue into the public front and creating awareness in a much more effective way than …
  • I dunno, to me (and i suspect most people) selective breeding and direct genetic modification are two different things. Sure the end result is the same but the sentiments between the two phrases is where the complaint stems from. More than anything …
  • http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/21/frito-lay-lawsuit_n_1162978.html I meant to post this when it came out but i forgot. Interesting lawsuit, shame it's not likely to win but it does raise a good point about GMO's.
  • http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2050852/Doreen-Wallace-told-ambulance-breaking-leg-Niagara-Falls-HOSPITAL.html Very disappointing doesn't begin to describe the handling of this...
  • You have a very good point Ix, i never considered that angle. I mostly just facepalm'd at the idea that they thought it was necessary in the first place. As for that Vader burger, perhaps they added squid ink to the dough? Doesn't change the fact t…
  • That french ad as a form of marketing is rather neat. Very creative. I remember seeing that headline about mountain dew dissolving a mouse somewhere yesterday, but has it actually been tested? One scientists testimony is hardly definitive... As fo…
  • While they are a tad creepy, they all just look so damn funny XD http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16424659 Methinks i found me a new religion...Though wouldn't congregating make them easy targets for anti-piracy raids?
  • http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10776668 http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sideswipe/news/article.cfm?c_id=702&objectid=10776521 o_O I think i'll be keeping an eye on the sky from now on...
  • Yes, it is in fact a giant ice dome constructed in the middle of summer, it's the only thing we could think of to prevent Ixta from conquering this defenseless country >_> And i was trying to get a better pic Lews but it's extremely difficult…
  • Yay me! And i hope you get better soon Mal, i'm fending off a very mild cold myself. Also, many thanks to Ixta for running such a fun game. I don't care what the others think, i didn't find any of the rounds boring (well the philosophy one came clo…
  • Sat there for 35mins and nothing, then right before i had to leave: [Deleted Pic ] So, do i win now? :P
  • Aero for Lynch, Tyrsis for Mayor
  • Crap, and i was just standing in a carpark for 10 mins before i came home and jumped on here! ~X( Now Mal has 24hrs to beat me
  • OOO confucius....can I post a pic of myself too? Afterall I am Chinese and have all the wisdom of the billion chinese forefathers before me... Round 9 Start! Books of Philosophy! (Plural. Must feature philosophers who have been dead for a minimu…
  • Turns out my father had some books on Confucius: [Deleted Pic ]
  • Psssttt... Post a pic and tag them as me, Ixta will be none the wiser! :-$ :-"
  • Given the lack of posts, i say fail round new subject? :P (and i'm not just saying that because i can't find any, not even at the blinking library!)
  • Flazer for Mayor, Lynch Drknss
  • I agree with Zeal, for Skyrim single player only works as it allows for story depth and immersion that just wouldn't work in multiplayer. That isn't to say that multiplayer games are bad, FPS's are magnitudes more fun with friends. Really it depends…
