There's one galaxy (AFAIK) but a weird "matchmaking" system where you can only see up to 32 other players at one time in realspace, depending upon your friends list, your ignore list, and how good your connection is - so you get teamed up with people with a similar latency. It's not really...

Brian Clough quotes: "I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one." "I'm not saying he's pale and thin, but the maid in our hotel room pulled back the sheets and remade the bed without realising he was still in it." [about one of his players] ?Tell...

The feel is very much like a fighter plane sim, albeit with extra degrees of manoeuvrability, until you switch off Flight Assist when things get more Newtonian. Unless you want to give yourself a hard time you'll leave Flight Assist on until you need to pull some turns in a dogfight. There's a...

Nope, Rome had finished by that point, the BBC was just using the sets that they had helped pay for. Rome was cancelled purely because of the cost, it was one of the most expensive shows ever made, and the BBC was coming under increasing pressure to justify every penny it spent (so if you want...

MH17: Ukraine separatist commander 'admits' rebels had Buk missile system | World news | The Guardian

That's not strictly true; what they said (back in January) was and then back in June So basically no new raids which as others have said isn't a great loss to most people. Last info they posted it was only a small percent of the playerbase who ran them and the economics of developing that...

MH17 crash: Russia dismisses Ukrainian claims of involvement - live updates | World news | theguardian.com

You're right about the Brits, French and Germans all having their reasons not to rock the boat with Russia - the Germans especially have extensive economic ties with them beyond the gas supply. The China gas deal won't help Russia for years, it's not like they've already begun pumping gas in...

Malaysia Airlines crash: flight recorder found as anger at Russia mounts ??" live updates | World news | theguardian.com ... so we now have an alternate version of what happened, with this being a Russian Buk system sent across the border to Donetsk, and that the reports of rebels seizing...

I would guess that the boarding pass records need to be cross-checked against passport records to find out who came from where, and passport records might not be easy to access for all countries.

There are some sites reporting 23 "Americans" amongst the dead but nothing confirmed yet from a reputable source.

Dutch officials are reporting the following distribution of nationalities: 154 Dutch 47 unknown 27 Australian 23 Malaysian 11 Indonesian 6 British 4 German 4 Belgian 3 Filipino 1 Canadian

Given that the pro-Russian rebels boasted in June that they had taken over a Ukrainian air defense system in Donetsk equipped with the Buk system and were going to use it to "defend the sky over Donetsk", it's pretty likely this was stolen from the Ukrainian army. A bigger question might be...

If it was a Buk missile, those are serious pieces of equipment, not shoulder-launched Stinger-type AA but at least three self-propelled vehicles.

Meanwhile outside the Premier League, life's a struggle BBC Sport - Blackpool: From the Premier League to having eight players

BBC News - Scotland could be base for spaceport, says UK government

The alpha and beta prices are set because Frontier have a policy that they will not undercut those people who backed the Kickstarter. The pricing is exactly the same as the access tiers for Kickstarter backers.

Standard (cheaper) Beta backers can now download the game and have access the single player missions originally released with the alpha version, basically flying and dogfighting practice. Access to the multiplayer should come at the end of the month.

Argentina didn't take their chances. Good goal to win it.

Classy finish that

He should be off

Its getting a bit testy out there between these players

That could be two players knocked out of this game

Messi can't believe he's missed

Close game this

Tell that to my friend who went out to the takeaway after Germany's second in the semifinal

Ouch. Seeing stars from that one *edit* and what a miss

Germany working the right hand side

I just want to see a good game, not like the snoozefest between Argentina and the Netherlands. If Germany get settled then I think Argentina will find it very difficult. From the neutral's perspective Argentina to score first would offer the best hope to an exciting match.

The refereeing is poor.

Nasty challenge that on the Dutch player

Hahaha this defense is a joke
