Send your name to Mars
Why oh why would we want to do that?
Just..
Just cos it's normal for London doesn't make it acceptable.
No need
Is there any need to take the piss out of this?
Posted in BBC pumps 60 quid a head into Gaelic
I have an idea
Given that it's the scots we're talking about here, I'd bet that all the gaelic speakers would rather have a £60 discount on the license fee, and no gaelic channel.
Not Marmalade -you're just being funny
But I would say that a thixotropic gel would be just the ticket.

Looks like a Citroen DS to me.

"the one passenger who turned on his cell phone so his GPS could be used to locate his body"
How exactly would that work, as his GPS is not a transmitter..?

Well..
I for one welcome our new windmill-smashing overlords.

"higher amperage charge"
There's no such thing.
I assume you mean Current.

Cross the beams
Dr. Egon Spengler: There's something very important I forgot to tell you.
Dr. Peter Venkman: What?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Don't cross the streams.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Why?
Dr. Egon Spengler: It would be bad.
Dr. Peter Venkman: I'm a little fuzzy on the whole "good/bad" thing here. What do you mean, "bad"?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
Dr. Ray Stantz: Total protonic reversal!
Nice one Lewis..
However, if a "wavefront of nonexistence would spread out only at light speed", then you hardly be able to see it coming would you?
Am I a bit thick or summat?

Ah the good old days :)
Hey reg hacks, how about a few more PH items?

eBay
I believe the standard ElReg term for this is "online tat bazaar"
Ha ha ha ha ha
Exhaust gas recirculation seems like a great way to make it fall out of the sky (assuming it can get there in the first place)
Paris, because she knows when to blow and when to suck...
Explosions in the area
My sister lives a few miles from there and she told me there were a number of loud explosions at the time of this incident.

"No end customer ever asked for a phone with a camera or Bluetooth."
You really believe this? Sheesh...
Posted in O2 prices up the latest iPhone
Can you find out -
How much on Payg? The O2 website says it will be offered.
300 feet?
It'll be mighty turbulent down there, and some amazing downdraughts too.
I'd be surprised if they make it back from this mission.
PMSL
Thanks for this line :)

Posted in Brennan JB7 Micro Jukebox
I'd buy one if..
.. it had network support. Not just for tracks from my PC, but for internet radio.
Gits the lot of them
P4U sold my other half and 18 month 3G contract on the 3 network, despite the fact that there is no coverage where we live. They told her there was ;(
When she went back and complained, they simply set the phone to only find GSM networks.
Grrr..

Ah, I was at school with her brother Milton.
Dull sort of chap..

S60 ? Oh dear
"Unconfirmed reports suggest Nokia's would-be iPhone killer will run on the Symbian S60 platform."
That'll mean that bluetooth connection and contact sync to cars will be broken then, just like the N95.
Bonkers
In these green times, shouldn't we ask if this is a worthwhile use of fuel?
Who are these people?
And more to the point: Who f-ing cares?

"It's a bit like Star Trek, if I were in charge the first two things I'd do would be to turn off the holo-deck and turn off Data."
Er, right.
Barrel rolls
A barrel roll cannot be done in *any* aircraft by sole use of ailerons.
A barrel roll requires positive g throughout, including when the aircraft is inverted. This is accomplished by pulling back on the stick to generate increased g, and also needs a higher than normal entry speed to the maneouver.
and while I'm at it..
"despite holding far less IPR assets there"
fewer IPR assets, not less.
Posted in Apple sued over iPhone caller ID
Get a grip you lot
This guy invented caller ID lookup in 1988, patented it, then licensed it to the major phone companies.
Years later another phone maker comes to the market and decides it doesn't want to pay him for his invention which has become now so successful that *everybody* thinks it is obvious.
Well they do have a choice.. Either license his invention, or don't use it.
That's it. Nothing else to get excited about. It's just another day in patent licensing.
Posted in Asus Eee PC gives Sony the willies
Ya, but it's an Asus
It'll be in the bin in 6 months. My Sony TR-MP5 is still going strong after years of use.

Hmmm
"...synthesized global data on human impacts ..."
Do they mean they made it all up, or is there some other definition of synthesis I don't know about?
Nothing synthetic about Paris.

Take care mate...
A brief google shows she is one of those mad animals rights type people. She is also married, which I find even more amazing!

@Paul Fleetwood
CO2 is not a pollutant. In fact, life on this planet depends on it.
Nonsense !
It looks different enough to me.

I AM SORRY BUT I HAVE HAD TO CANCEL THIS AUCTION. THE MAIN REASON IS THREATENING EMAILS I AM GETTING AND ALSO THE FACT THAT EBAY WILL CLEARLY BID THIS UPTO £10M AND THEN TRY AND DO ME FOR THE FEES.
I HAD NO IDEA THIS AUCTION WOULD GET THE GLOBAL RESPONSE IT HAS AND ITS JUST A SHAME THAT EBAY WOULD RATHER THREATEN ME THAN ENGAGE ITS CUSTOMERS – BUT I GUESS THAT’S JUST THE WAY LIFE IS THESE DAYS.
