I don't think Robin Van Persie is his real name. He changed it from Thieving Van Penis.
Note to the confused: I'm channelling an old Dick Van Dyke joke here...
Re: Call me sceptical if you will, but...
>In America, celebrity 'I'm sorry's are usually followed by 'God has forgiven me, so why can't you?'
The correct reply to this is "No, I haven't"
He was shaking hands...

Re: Call me sceptical if you will, but...
Unfortunately, in America, they really do believe that saying "sorry" is all that is required. How often have you heard the phrase "I've said I'm sorry; what more do you want?"
In order for an apology to be truly meaningful, there needs to be an understanding of the distress caused; a genuine feeling of regret for causing this distress; and a desire to never cause the same distress again in the future. Most apologies fail at least 2 out of 3 of these points (I'm looking at you public transport).
Re: disagree
More interestingly- the drop in share price came after the decision to pay Dividends...
One hit wonder?
Now, I wonder if there will be an equal drop in subscribers/revenue when Hemlock Grove debuts over here...
Re: Duh
>Anyway, if my Co's shares 'tanked' to $400, I'd still be laughing all the way to the bank.
Not if you bought them at $700 you wouldn't.
>"Only" 10 billion dollars in profit? Yup, that's a company that's really sliding down the toilet.
It is to a Wealth Management company who regularly deal in 100's of billions.

Disgo...
...where probably the first company to gain any success with USB drives. I think I have a 32mbyte somewhere around here.
Re: quality control?
My guess is it was something that surfaced when Apple tested beta loads of v6.2 of iOS.

Re: But, but, but...
Precisely. As someone who sails, I want to know how strong it is and where it's coming from.
Re: Why not go get it?
If you read the website you'd see:

b: The insurance company has already paid out on the stolen items so it's their laptop now.
Re: Uh... No.
so, he was an ancient Thomas Edison then...
It's happening here as well...
3 of my friends, who have had iPhones for years, all changed to the S4 rather than go for the iPhone 5.
Hmmmm....
I wonder if this is why AT&T appear to have blocked traffic to/from PayPal???
Slow typist???
"We had the Tweet ready and waiting"
Because it would be so difficult to have to write up to 140 characters on the spur of the moment...
Worse thing is...
...you know that a bunch of marketdroids sat around a table and convinced themselves that the reason that Windows 8/Surface Tabs weren't selling was because they didn't have a 7" form factor...
Re: So Obviously
hey, what have you got against homosexual Australians?
"Let me guess - you're in America?"
Or in southern England...
A fitting eulogy...

No Psions?
The Series 3 and 5 should have been on the list, both beautiful pieces of miniature kit (with usable keyboards)
Re: It shouldn't be patentable....
I've had it on my toilet door for a lot longer...
hmmm....
This man is quickly becoming very irrelevant; I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't change his name to "Roger"
Re: TicketMaster "Ticketfast" Charges
I just stopped going to concerts unless I can buy tickets at the door. I refuse to give TicketBastard anymore of my money.

Re: Similar effect
Actually, I don't think my power affects the computer at all- it just stops the user from doing the stupid thing they've been doing up to now and do it properly for once. Then you get the "oh, it's working now..."
Translation from BS to normal speech...
"Nokia is focusing on growing its presence in operator and third-party retail outlets, rather than through our own physical stores. We are, of course, also continuously beefing up our online presence."
Translation: "We fail"
Thanks RyanAir...
There used to be a decent air service between Dublin and Cork- it was run by Aer Arran as a EU POS. Then Ryanair came in, edged them out and eventually decided not to service the route anymore. I think the same thing happened with Dublin to Kerry too.
So...
...am I the only guy that was hoping they'd swarm him and eat his face?
What? Only me?
Re: 4月第一胡說
I think Ryanair use them too...

That was exactly my first thought too
Re: Do not want, and in fact this kind of thing is a fucking 'orrible idea.
Totally agree. I'd say this generation of cars are probably smarter than some of their drivers.

Wouldn't happen in England...
I wasn't allowed access to GCHQ because of my Irish ancestry- despite the fact that my father used to work there many years ago...
really, how different is it from me making my own bows and fletching my own arrows?
Agreed totally. In fact the "hobbyist" nature of building your own 3d printer reminds me of the same thing happening with people building their own plotters in the 80s.

Re: What is so compelling?
"As far as I can see this is just another Android Phone."
In the same way that the iPhone 5 is just another iOS phone.
My solution.
I gathered up as many groupon addresses as I could (especially personal ones) and then just bounced any email coming from a groupon address to that list.
Interesting...
"Associated Press, British Pathé, Getty Images, ITN, the Press Association and Thomson Reuters."
Where's the BBC??? Or the other side of the fence I guess...
