Brilliant idea. I’ll pay extra, particularly if they throw out the drunks, talkers and loud eaters too.

Tweetrush Is Here
25/08/2008
A project I would love to have been more involved with, hopefully I’ll be forgiven for opting out to get married…
Well done to AJ, Grzegorz, James, Slawomir and Walter for getting their Tweetrush proof of concept Techcrunched today. I was lucky enough to spend a couple of hours with the lads in their lair last week, and there’s been very little doubt in my mind since that this demo of their upcoming Rush Hour engine was going to get slashdotted today. (Although I notice that it is still up!) I only hope I’ll be allowed in the door again to work on future projects with them!
(Special mention to Damien and Pat for helping hands too, I reckon.)
Italian army on the streets
20/08/2008
Italians welcome army on streets as anti-gipsy sentiment sweeps country – Telegraph: When soldiers arrived with submachine guns to fight crime last week outside Rome’s Saxa Rubra metro station, residents of the quiet commuter suburb applauded and shouted “bravo”.
Obviously the Italians have never heard of Posse Comitatus. Or done any research at all about Berlusconi.
People can be pig ignorant.
Oyster Card Cracked

NXP sues to silence Oyster researchers
Chipmaker NXP, formerly Philips Semiconductors, is taking Dutch Radboud University to court on Thursday to prevent researchers publishing their controversial report on the Mifare Classic chip.
Recently researchers from Radboud University in Nijmegen revealed they had cracked and cloned Londons Oyster travel card. Earlier this year the researchers did the same to the Dutch MIFARE travel card. This card is to replace paper tickets on all trams, buses, and trains and is already undergoing trials in Rotterdam.
Oireachtas Website Survey

Damien reminds us about the Oireactas Website Survey. You may not use the (truly awful) website much, but if it was in any way usable, that might change. Please do take a look around and fill in the short, one page survey.

This is the sweetest thing you’ll see for a while. Detailed backstory here. Sorry about the cheesy crap on the end, obviously it wasn’t quite cheesy enough for the friendless endless-forwarding dummies.
