@kyre: Yeh, exactly. If the oxygen levels outside the lab increased 30% then the dragon flies would evolve larger naturally in the wild within a few generations. If the oxygen levels didn't go up they would suffocate as soon as they left the lab.

So if the oxygen levels in the atmosphere increase by 30% somehow there's a chance these things could escape and not suffocate?! Wow, now I'm really worried...

It really is time that the clever people of the world got together and worked out a way of transporting electricity to houses without dangling it from large pole that any drunk truck driver can crash into. If only there were some way of running cables under the ground or something...

@Chocolate-Wafer: As an interesting side note: it turns out that suing Steven Spielberg may have a negative effect on your acting career. Who knew?

To me, this seems aimed at a market Sony wishes existed rather than one that actually exists. Or did I somehow miss the fact that the PSPGo was a huge success and everyone is now looking for a more powerful PSPGo with a 2nd analogue stick?

@Max Goodman: I've got a W880i and it's still the best phone I've ever had. It just works... and has a superb battery life... and is tiny. Sure, it doesn't have a 4" touch screen and GPS but that's not what I want!

It was obvious straight away that the words were arranging to build a larger word. I have to say I was a little disappointed that it didn't eventually just say "bollocks" though.

@djlaser: According to the Chief Constable it's primarily to illustrate how large a proportion of their call outs are 'domestic disputes' and similar. It's getting to a point in Greater Manchester where you can barely even belt your wife up the side of the head without the Police getting involved. Thank god I leave

@muldvarpe: Yeh, but with a bit of investment from the likes of Google it would jump on in leaps and bounds. For electricity generation we really need something that is reliable and predictable... like the tides of the sea which can be predicted months (if not years) in advance.

@8x10: And I'd still get change out of a pound...

"This is the work of Polish photographer Jan Kriwol, who likes to present bizarre scenarios as if they were perfectly ordinary moments" populated by people in baseball caps.

So here's a question... If you are looking for renewable energy from the sea, what exactly is wrong with wave power and/or tidal power? I mean, other than it isn't as visible as a hundred large windmills so people can't see how good you are being to the environment.

@bukalemun: Yes but you always mark things up when supplying the Government. Don't forget - a pencil costs $370...

@Samurai I-am-awry: Is it true that Prowse insisted on doing some of the Vader dialogue on set? Anyone acting against a 7ft man with a West Country accent whilst keeping a straight face deserves an Oscar!

@MauriceCallidice: He visited the set once but did the hokey cokey near the door. As a result, his left leg visited the set 2.7 times while his right arm only 1.9.

@jarmod: Ah yes, I forgot that not every country's government can push any old legislation through as long as it targets "terrorism", "internet crime" and/or "paedophilia". I suppose in a way it's nice to see the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act getting used for one of the Daily-Mail-reader-baiting topics that

Those perky pedos are getting better at this computer stuff eh? Seems like only yesterday Garry Glitter took his PC into PC World and said "my magic calculator is broke and I can't look at my kiddy porn any more".

@Dan Del Rio: Weirdly, I don't think the Police regularly hand their investigations over the MI5. I'm sure in the US the NSA would happily swoop in and take over such problems.

@Absent Blue: But what if you get a warrant but can't access the computer because he has a 50 character password? Then he'd be obstructing justice which could carry a jail term no?

@TheOriginalEd: Yeh but that's even worse! Whereas now the CGI bits in the re-releases stick out like a sore thumb, in the 3D versions they'll actually leap out of the screen and slap you!
