Isn't it closer to "Ve vill bury them"... just sounds that way :P

But +1 :P

Will calm down, what they are having a go at is more the fact of what energy is going to get used making the fake dirt (out of plastic, which is generally made out of petroleums). The irony is they will probably use more energy making the stuff and do more halm than good.

I say just a thin layer or dirt say (1 foot) couple of branch root style plants that spread they're roots across rather than down and you be right...

(I may be simplifying this abit to much?)

I think the theory behind it is good just fails practically.

It would be cool if I could get the link to work >,<

38... mi... mii... million? Stick that on the space station and probe that around the place, if there's life out there they'll definantly responde to that!

Phone's are actually tougher than they first appear, my Nokia 3220 has survived so so much, about 4 trips through the washing machine, Being dropped into a telecommunications Pit with 2m of water and a host of other things including being dropped from the roof of my house onto the concrete. After owning it 3 years it finally died when the screen gave up, the phone itself still works just not the screen.

This doesn't much surprise me, ok so a big truck drove over it, that's cool but again depends how the truck ran over it ;). And how flat the tyres were =P

I hope he gets a new one, if not he can sell it on Ebay and go buy a new one.

@Zac I've never seen anyone sprout so much shit in all my life.

Microsoft is in trouble for having a browser which is not up to scratch with the rest of the browsers.

And as Paul has said you have proved exactly what the article has said and a whole lot more.

I think Opera is actually more suing for the lack of true
compatibility with the internet more so than the piggy-backing, If i
remember from the last engadget entry like this they were refering to
the lack of correctness against the web standards and that because of
this people are designing websites for internet explorer which
inherently don't work 100% properly on Opera and Firefox the majority of the time.

Granted I'm an Opera user 80% and IE user 20% and a webdeveloper and
I have been through the issues of compatibility with browsers. If you make a website you should do atleast a 4 browser check using several browsers out of what's available I tend to use: IE, FF, Opera, Safari and Konquerer.

If MS really wanted to stick it up them they could simply threaten to
stop selling they're products entirely in the EU that might scare them
a bit.

Who's the shady person in the top left?

It would be good to see all the Hard Drive Manufacters come together and build a mega drive something that they can all say we made and can all say for once we put our competitive side down for a few minutes and got together to build something awesome.

That's my dream anyway :P

I don't personally think this will happen but I have been wrong before.

This is good news, This will mean a far better link to Australia and the southern Asian countries and places like New Zealand and such.

Actually there will be electrical wires in the cable to power the repeaters because the light can only go so far so you need to repeat it down the length, I was reading on another site about some mob who made a 5TB optical fibre connection from sweden to another country and that was they're major draw back the repeaters for it.

Again this was a few years ago so it's open to improvement like all things.

The electrical wires won't kill anything around the area because it's salt water essentially It will just make alot of Hydrogen, Oxygen, Chlorine and a few other gases from electrolisis and eventually the cable will become too corroded to be a problem.
