Damn yuu El Reg!
This article has cost me £33.

although it's not clear exactly where
From act.azafatas@gmail.com apparently (the things I do for El Reg.). Not that I'm going to trust my card details to email..
"soon to be entirely reliant on Russian Soyuz ships"
It always has been as far as crews are concerned. A Soyuz can and does stay up for six months to serve as a lifeboat if needed. The Shuttle is limited to two weeks in orbit.

" Do you expect me to use email?"
"No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to retire."
Posted in Times websites want £1 a day from June
I think The Sun shot itself in the foot there
John Humphrys said he spent £500 a year on papers. Small change to him, but not to many.
If I bought newspapers daily, the article would have made me think that I had better things to do with £500.
Yes but
most are staffed by only one person, in a small partitioned off area in convenience stores. The larger ones have a permanent long queue. They don't eve have enough staff to keep all the positions open.
Re Why not just ignore Israel from now on #
Name me a recent war that hasn't involved killing civilians. Both sides bombers in World War 2 deliberately targeted them.
Palestine fighters do put civilian at risk by operating out of civilian areas. And how is a state sponsored assassination with no collateral damage worse than alternative ways of getting him?
Stable door meet door frame
Pointless, even if vistors had a choice.. By now, Mossad will have copied more passports than they will ever need.
If they were responsible, that is. I still can't see why they would use the UK passports of those resident in their country.
An assumption
Based on my estimate of what would appeal to a man who would make a comment like that.
Traumatised - word of the week.
Yesterday it was a woman who found porn on a repaired phone. Today it's the owner of a pair of
Bulgarian airbags.

"All because he wanted to do the right thing by reporting this scumbag."
No good deed goes unpunished.
Posted in Teen's mobe loaded with X-rated smut
Did she get her own phone back?
Or a customer return, with added pron, and her SIM? Repair shops are better known for copying porn off computer gear, than doing something like this.
Why?
I've got a Polaroid camera somewhere in the loft. With several other obsolete cameras - 126, 110, Super 8, and possibly a Box Brownie.
Advanced technology in their day, but that day is long gone.
Has
anyone got the dead tree version to check?
Paris because.....

I didn't see it.
A quick look at the BBC listings showed that they were packed to the gunnels with sport, so I found something more interesting to do.
Well it was St Patrick's Day
The one day in the year when a leprechaun might not attract attention.
I for one, welcome our new gun toting supernatural overlords. Come and try and rob our banks if you're 'ard enough.
Not to mention the fines
when they do a moonlit flit, and don't notify the change of address. Perhaps she expects the banks to pay them as well.
Who in their right mind would buy a card two months before the next government may cancel it?
What next?
Malware that will cause batteries to explode?
Oh wait.....
Mine's the one that has just burst into flames.
"this was intended to protect Mr Shaw's privacy "
And reading what he was writing in his notebook isn't invading his privacy?
RUM?
A rather pathetic acronym.
"Robotic Underground Munition - Bomb at bunker aimed..
Agreed
I was just pointing out that it was a minor problem, identified and rectified before the El Reg article.

And the engine test went flawlessly. Looking good for an April 12 launch.
Microsoft Driving Assistant?
"It looks like you're parking the car. Would you like help?"
It wasn't a problem with the rocket.
A valve on a ground based high pressure helium line didn't open because the launch sequence computer wasn't programmed to open it. The ground equipment at the Texas test stand doesn't have that particular valve.
If the weather had allowed, SpaceX would have had another go yesterday. They are only waiting for better weather now.
Comments don't need titles!
Wasn't it a matter of the answers to her security questions being in the public domain?
Posted in Y2.01K hits Garmin satnav
Re: So What?
The software knows that there weren't any GPS satellites in orbit in 1949, so it doesn't bother searching for them.
So you're staring at a blank screen, wondering where you are.
Posted in Y2.01K hits Garmin satnav
1949 in my case.last night.
Weird. There was hardly any traffic and I was only charged 6d for a pint when I got to the pub.

Simple answer.
If they've got wide shoulders, short legs, and aggressive temperaments, confiscate their dogs.

Or it didn't happen.
"There was no explanation for the apparent drop in interest. "
There is always a rush of early adopters when something new becomes available.
Re I'm not surprised.
It's a downside in the morning when you are no longer wearing beer goggles.
He's just jealous
of the El Reg Paris program.
Posted in Mars Express skims past Phobos
Agreed.
Definitely a skull. Cavity on the left when the nose was. Jaw underneath, and more cavities for various other sense organs.
Where's Amanfrommars when you need him?
"images of women dressed as schoolgirls being spanked".
That's the next Playmobil reconstruction sorted.
Advert
I wonder if Kingston will use this to show how their memory sticks will survive almost everything.
"make more sense to look for such a thing on the Moon"
Such as a monolith?
There's nothing new in this article.
Charged with obstruction,
operated on for an obstruction.
I wonder if a USB 3.0 stick would have passed through him faster?

Slebs?
I only recognised three of the names. And that's probably three too many.

"Hello?"
"Can I interest you in double glazing?"
"No.. We don't have any windows."
"??. All houses have windows."
"This isn't a house."
"??. What is it?"
"A converted nuclear bomb shelter."
Not one of the best
El Reg Playmobil reconstructions.
Posted in Senators to NASA: Get your ass to Mars
No.
Robots are better for taking photos from orbit, but you need boots on the ground to do any serious geology.
We'd learn far more from even one manned mission and the half ton of rock samples it could bring back, than from all the probes landed over the past 35 years.
And I would like to live to see it.
Posted in Nokia No.2 is so sorry for N97 debacle
Only an apology?
Crying publicly is the fashion nowadays.
No, you aren't.
Mossad could probably have won the Afghan war with that number of people.
Will nobody think of the vulnerable adults?
The audience could be full of them.
GPS jamming detector detectors
They already exist and many cars already have them. They're called Sat Navs.
How hard can it be to track a dead spot moving at 70mph along a motorway?
Posted in McKinnon gets a date for 'final' appeal
General Election?
I can't believe this will change anything. Opposition parties oppose. There's no reason to think that a future Tory Home Secretary will spare him.
It will probably just trigger a new round of judicial reviews.
Is this comment fresh enough?
You're wrong.
I have had dealings with a hired killer.
