LOVE IT!

'Big stupid heads' that's the first insult I'm teaching my little'un

Not a eye Doctor then...

.... Bootnotes.

If working with technology is too taxing for you, the porn industry always needs some fluffers.

That's the key though...

"...better than 6.1 is the fact I'm running HTC's Sense ui on it!"

This is finally what will make WM7 even slightly attractive to mobile manufacturers, a good example being Samsungs phone that has WM but has a samsung interface, just like HTC have developed Sense UI (which makes the phone so much more usable). Earlier editions of WM just didn't support this type customisation to the extent it's been done now.]

Which if that is the case is slightly ironic as that is what the suit has just berated Linux for.

Small point

Do you know where and what Europe is?

Well said

Prehaps it's not Google we should be worrying about but HTC instead. Nexus One is made by HTC so will be using standard components as they do in most of their phones, so at some point you will see a bedroom hacker annouce that WinMo can be installed on this phone just as some poeple have already got Android installed on some HTC WinMo phones.

All you need now for complete dominance is for HTC to build an iPhone and you've got the potential for 3 different OS's to be installed on a phone.

On a slightly seperate note, I too have no sympathy for the networks, but the overall jist of this article for me was that Google are increasingly becoming more of a distrustful company and unfortunately they have most of the keys already to our data kingdoms.

Stop being silly

The shark is installed on the back of the lorry then the laser installed on the shark.

Nope not the only one

The only reason I upgraded to 7 was due to the Fmaily Pack offer and that Vista on my laptop wasn't a clean install but an upgrade, so eventually it was starting to get clogged up. Vista on my wife's laptop is still going strong and she only wants to upgrade to 7 cause I've done the other 2 PC's and she's feeling 'left out'.

Good points

I have a HTC WinMo phone that doesn't have a flash, but like you say lens is more important.

It can do multitasking porn navigation on Facebook though, so no worries there ;)

Saying that reminds me of...

... the Star Trek movie when the big space ship happens to be a vessel (sorry wessel) for the voyager probe.

Prehaps in many years time aliens will think these poor little fellas need a ship built for them to return home.

Duh!

Because the insurgents will just claim they have aspergers, I don't understand why Osama has made this claim already (if he's still alive of course).

Blimey

This is getting a bit complex for me now, reasons for not thinking 3D was that great in the past is apparently my colour-blindness is getting in the way of certain 3D compositions, apparently there are ways around it though I just have to get the right type of tinted lenses before putting on a pair of 3D glasses.

Learn something new everyday :)

Standards

Standard terminology, please don't question it or you'll break the fabric of our El Reg world.

ditto

I have a patent on suing people who sue people for drinking beer and eating popcorn, so I've got your number AC, my lawyers from the firm Bendover & Shaft will be in touch v.soon.

Pedantic of the logistical kind

They may make their own BD drives but that doesn't mean they are made for free, the cost is probably what they have to pay the other division for the units.

BIG FAIL

Can everyone stop using Clarkson and the word intellectual in the same sentence they just don't go together.

You could be right

I reckon the company might be HTC, hang on a sec and I'll go read the article to see if I'm right!

Wrong planet

Haven't you heard, on this planet, in this country, everyone is guilty until proven otherwise.

I don't really care...

... who or what he is, but if he stops me from a having a marathon session of crumble and custard I'll be inserting him into the LHC and firing it up.

You have to be joking...

... who in there right mind phones the RAC, they are a complete shambles, it'll take them well over 4hrs to get there and that's if you lie and say that Spirit is a lone female.

Missed it

My point was that I never had to pay a tethering charge, unless you include my upgrade for the Web'n'Walk Pro tariff but I only did that for the greater monthly useage cap.

My other point was I never came across any issues until I started using T-Mobile, but once I removed the proxy server settings it was back to normal service.

Serious stuff

At this point in time I'm not to bothered about he planet disappearing or the dimensional portal, what I want to know is, it's Monday, did DI_Wyman get his promise?

Ok, on a more serious note, to all you nutjobs out there, what will you do when the planet doesn't blow up and no portals appear?

Ouch

No point in letting us know that, cause either way your still gonna lose a scrotum ;)

Project Management

Similiar to Project Management, I was always taught that every time you use the word 'on-going' in a Project a little kitten dies.

As you can imagine our Government IT projects are feline species genocide.
