If
ISP/Google/Yahoo!/whoever, selected one of the 100 politicians who support this, at random, and publish _everything_ they have on that politician, this nonsense would be brought to a halt pretty sharpish.

Re: Stupid question
Whoosh!
Stupid question
but how many pints/litres in a "Bunch" of water?
i could of just ignored there sloppiness but im loosing the will to live
Re: Now I know how old AC is
I'm astounded that nobody has mentioned that:
Police charged the (eleven [11] year old) boy with institutional vandalism and criminal mischief and are turning him over to the Cumberland County Juvenile Probation Department.
Eleven, yes 11, year old boy pushed through the septic justice (sic) system. FFS!
Really FFFingS!?
I regularly
Put my wireless keyboard in the dishwasher, batteries removed obviously. Once the cycle is complete; shake vigorously and place in airing cupboard, leave overnight +a working day; job's a good un! Sparkly keyboard -cat hair -beer -coffee -spittle (from the occasional FotW entry) &c.
Having previously worked in a hot desk environment using crufty, crusty, shitty, disgusting & hairy keyboards, I can say it's a pity their dishwasher was only used for crockery.

No shit Sherlock, they've never cared about anything else, ever.

Re: Swearing at the boss.
Apropos nothing really: I worked weekends at a supermarket, in the 70's, for a chap who had a "Dymo'd" badge proclaiming him as "Rear Entrance Manager".
Oh, just remembered the apropos: DON'T FUCKING SHOUT. OK?
Re: ultimate way to quit your job
WTF are you talking about?
Re: Be careful whose feet you step on, on your way to the top.
I recall one completely talentless, useless, full of piss-and-self-importance, clueless twat on the fast track, universally known as "Shit for brains" trampling on people to get to where filling in spreadsheets counts as work..
I'd better stop this here, as anyone who knows me (I don't hide behind ac or a silly alias) knows who I'm referring to, K? :-)
Beer, coz that's what I'm sampling now

Well do you or don't you?
Re: License Fee
"state funded broadcaster like the BBC"
This is the sort of drivel I despise, in no way is the BBC "State funded", yes there is a licence fee and, yes, it is compulsory if you watch broadcast television. But the BBC is not "State funded" it's "licence fee" funded. Gah!

"Apple do have a history of doing some Good Things (TM) for user interface design"
In the main you are correct, however, have you used an AppleTV? the UI is really, really shite.

Re: @ Neil Greatorex
I didn't miss them, and as I posted earlier, Dennis the Menace is a masterclass in humour - for an 8 year old.
If you want to define yourself via the medium of a crappy web comic, so be it. Your choice.
As to "obligatory", so is dog shite to your average hiker.
Re: Enough iPad articles
I'm with you on this, I read El Reg for an interesting redtop-esque take on tech news, one which I enjoy very much.
I'm getting fed up with the constant Apple coverage. I mean, FFS, it's approaching: "APPLE BOG CLEANER FARTS! CHINESE ECONOMY BRACES ITSELF".
The forum is now an echo chamber & on Apple articles a pointless place to post a contrary view. There is an inevitable end to this click-bait shite and the law of diminishing returns may be a good place to start the study.
Re: In essence...
"..just another iPad that's been over hyped by the media and speculative fanbois.."
and El Reg..
Shame.
Meh2

So much hype, so much tosh.

Really? Been smoking something 'pungent'?
Re: Win7 "smokes" Win8
Probably a stupid question, but; why do you keep "Hoovering"?
Dusty office perhaps?

I just have a picture in my mind now, of you breathing on your knuckles and polishing them on your chest.
Can't think why..

Re: Say what?
No. Run a cat5e cable to your telly & forget the above nonsense.
Cat5e cable = <£2, Samsung WiFi adaptor >£40
I've got a gen 6 Samsung gogglebox & it's fantastic, the built in iPlayer displays better quality TV than broadcast (not HD, obviously) & a doddle to use :-).
If I watched itv or 4 I'd be disappointed at the lack of 4od or itvplayer on the gogglebox, but I don't, so I'm not.. Job done.
Paris; as I'm sure she'd like a light touch with the cat5e cable....

Please stop posting links to xkcd comics, they're generally neither funny, relevant nor well drawn.

I'm with you on this one:
noun
informal, chiefly British
a person engaged in scientific or technical research:
a computer boffin
a person with knowledge or a skill considered to be complex, arcane, and difficult:
he had a reputation as a tax boffin, a learned lawyer

"But Apple has a better UI in its Apple TV set-top box"
Very funny, I take it from this you haven't used an Appletv?
Better UI my arse.
Mush! If it ain't on wikipedia it ain't true..
Sadly I've encountered this innumerable times when addressing groups of "yoofs".
Even more sadly, there are a number of El Reg commenter's who ascribe to the same view.
On the plus side, however, there are a small proportion who don't. :-)
"wacky jacqui"
You Sir, for reminding me of the ugly, opinionated, uneducated, greedy, grasping, sleazy, expenses fiddling cow, owe me nothing :-)
