…I always said he was a wanker.
Irish Examiner: 96FM presenter Neil Prendeville was seen to expose himself and masturbate as he sat in his seat on a flight from London Heathrow to Cork on October 9 last.
Would’ve been better at xmas though. It’s an ad btw, sorry about that. Some ads are just good.

Yes, I should really have posted this on Twitter, but posts here are forwarded there anyway, and I’ll do anything to avoid actually visiting that goddamned awful website and the vast majority of total fucktards that populate it. Apart from my followers, obviously, salt of the earth donchew know. At least ye’re slightly more intelligent than FourSquare users. A bit.
This is for Kelvyn. Some of these are almost certainly fake – the basketball from the roof one was done by Mythbusters recently, although I haven’t seen it yet – but I’d guess most are real. You can’t really argue with the title: there’s an awful lot of dickheads out there, and “extreme” sports do very little for me, but some people are very definitely just plain awesome.
Further proof that they just don’t work. They don’t even deter crime, much as proponents would like us to believe, they just move it.
Bruce Scheier: They’re not worth it:
In seven years, New Orleans’ crime camera program has yielded six indictments: three for crimes caught on video and three for bribes and kickbacks a vendor is accused of paying a former city official to sell the cameras to City Hall.
There aren’t many web videos that could hold my attention for 12 minutes, but this time-lapse of a tram junction rebuild in San Francisco just captivates. I actually went back to watch them pour the concrete a second time. :)
This is brilliant: get someone locked and get them to talk about something historical, interlace with reenactments with real actors. Unfortunately most of them are American history, but here’s a fab one about Tesla with Crispin Glover:
Is there any end to that man’s talents? Between his 1337 skillz on the nose flute and his highlighting of the crap Justice Charleton parroted in his judgement on UPC v Dumb Greed Merchants, you have to wonder. Course he’s just parroting “Gambra” on thumped.com, but that’s neither here nor there!
Long story short: Yay Charleton for deciding in favour of UPC. Boo Charleton for parroting makey-uppey numbers for “piracy”. Boo Charleton for essentially suggesting that Gov.ie enact legislation to allow the labels to skip proper due process. That’s two boos to one yay, you lose Charleton.
For successfully challenging the nonsense that is “three strikes”:
Irish Times: “UPC has repeatedly stressed that it does not condone piracy and has always taken a strong stance against illegal activity on its network. It takes all steps required by the law to combat specific infringements which are brought to its attention and will continue to co-operate with rights holders where they have obtained the necessary court orders for alleged copyright infringements,” it said.
