Now if Labour and Wacky Jaqui has had their ways this type of footage might have been deemed illegal and it might still be so. As police closed down large sections of the City of London last week in readiness for the G20 protests, Mason was not impressed when police officers asked him to...

http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/YouAndYourResearch.html. This is quite a good read, if a bit slow in parts. Via the impressive http://www.lonegunman.co.uk/ (few but good links), What Bode was saying was this: ``Knowledge and productivity are like compound interest.'' Given two people...

Still wathching Mad Men II, no reason not to now that Betty Draper (sweet January Jones) is finally starting to crack up. And I've been dipping into "The Wire" again now that it on BBC Two every night of the working week. What surprised me is how many of the characters are presented in the...

My guess is that desktop comes with a wired network connection, but no wireless one? If the router is close to the desktop then it should only be a matter of connecting an Ethernet cable to the router (most routers have 3-4 Ethernet connection at the back) and normally it all just works...

Evolution - you know it makes sense, The time when young vertebrates first began to develop within their mothers’ bodies has now been pushed much further back in geological time, thanks to two remarkable discoveries involving fish. The story begins in the Gogo region of the northwest part of...

how very human (the need for a loo trip that is)

A combination of space issues (ie no more space for crates), less money, never loving CDs in the first place (the first one I got was a Morricone sampler, with a cheap cover and no liner notes, it's still playable some 24 years later though) and the arrival of Spotify in the UK has made me scale...

Saw them at the Brixton Academy a couple of years back. Awesome, including use of what seemed to be vintage slides from the 70s for the older tracks like Autobahn and leaving the stage for robots to "play" Robots. The also did a couple of tracks in German. Pretty much a perfect gig apart from...

It's a dump - even after it's been "re-decorated" (?). Seconded on Jerusalem Tavern in The City (it's a fake though? as a pub it's not that old), The Lamb at Holborn, Fitzroy in Fitzrovia. The Toucan for Guiness. The Water Poet near Liverpool Street. On a summers day in Soho: Shashton Arms or...

Hang on Tox, that hardly sounds like a quick eat? Had the place recommended to me, but was told about the queues so never been.

"Butchers of Mumbai are Brits" headline. Remember this one? The really should not get away with these kind of headlines - "ARE BRITS"? Nicely covered in THe Guardian a few months later, http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/dec/08/peter-wilby-newspaper-recession The Brit guide to foreign...

First few solo albums are OK, although the first one is a bit overproduced. Bob Ezrin was using the same tricks he had used on Lou Reed's "Berlin" and Alice Cooper's early '70s albums; but what worked for Alice and Lou did not work out that well for PG I think. Compare the version of "Here Comes...

Yeah in terms of a streaming service it's very good. The fact that you can play whole albums in decent quality makes it the top online streaming site. The ads every 20 minutes or so I can live with. Not sure how they will monetize this, I think it might be a matter of major-label fatigue in...

XML Notepad 2007 might be worth a look, as posted today on Lifehacker, http://lifehacker.com/5159257/xml-notepad-2007-is-a-simple-smart-editor-for-web-code

Zavvi shits up shop for good

OK - the last one from me for a while and sorry for such a serious derail (Zhao you win 3-2):

This set seems to confirm that at least the clothes are pretty much authentic (these are probably German [but I think the aestethic was pretty much all over the Western world], and the mad avenue crowd propably had the money and the interest to add that little extra)...
