Forgetting something?
With the demise of Atlantis we also see the birth of LOHAN.
Five years time and we'll have El Reg as well as Elon.

If it was 'obvious' then is he guilty of abetting (or whatever it is ) if conspiracy can't be proved?
I hope they will ask 'Why did you do nothing about it?' and 'who were you reciving directions from?'.
Boris was extremely pro 'nothing to see, minor incident, it's all bollocks' a while back. These coppers are appointed by Boris, where was he hiding?
note to Reg people -- need a 'popcorn' icon.
No, let's not have a willy-waving competiton, boys.
Anyway reading Vlad's stuff carefully and not getting hooked on the emotive stuff he seems to have several valid points.
However, we are in the standard moral secnario of 'freedom fighter/terrorist' - it all depends which side of the fence people choose to be on or whether to get splinters in their bums.
Personally I find 'for the lulz' preferable to 'for the money, power and blackmail potential'.
Considering that when doing a test from exchange to customer premises they know damn well what they can expect based on noise, capacitance etc. and always have done.
Sorry, that's "Those testers who are not sitting following screen prompts and have actually gone out and got thier hands dirty in the past". Not thier managers who on the whole are corporate gobshites or those who say that the test either says pass or fail and do not allow testers to correctly interpret the actual results and not just 'pass/fail'.
I got pissed off tryng to fight this particular corner for years (and others) for customers (that's me as well) at BT and eventually took the money. "You are not allowed to read the result figures, they won't tell you anything." "Do you have any idea what these figures mean? No? well fuck off 'cos I do. It means they will get 2meg and no more - ever, until someone goes out and either sorts out all the cable joints or puts in fibre".
The muppets in charge would not let us do what we were trained for - as we began to turn in to automatons in fornt of a screen many of us just left. They wanted trained monkeys and to pay them peanuts while the customers were mushroomed (kept in the dark etc.)
I can't work out who the ' sick' person is.
" "nothing more than the divorce proceeding" as a possible motive for the attack. The 51-year-old husband initiated the unhitching process back in May after 11-and-a-half years of marriage, the LA Times notes."
'nothing more' after 11 1/2 years may seem trivial to the cops but we don't know what led to the divorce - or at least not in what I've just read here. If he wanted to just go off and wave his knob around and taunted his missus with such things - 'I can't wait until the papers come through then all that pussy is mine' sort of thing, she might have got a tad upset.
That ain't sick, that's a pre-emptive strike.
If the actions taken are 'needless' then why the hell hadn't 'security' firms sorted out security.
At least the latest bunch actually published what they'd found - who knows how many others have been browsing around and for how long.
I would suggest that if the security was a bit iffy then personnell were compromised a long time ago.
Maybe, instead of jumping at the wordf Ed would like you to hear think about what BT and Talk Talk were trying to do.
Vaisey would prefer people to forget the governments idea to have the ISPs become internet police. Anything the government decide is iffy - depending on thier whim of the day - and your ISP is bound by law to screw you over. And before you complain to your MP it's the ISP who is doing it not the government - excuse sorted, blame passed elsewhere, business as bloody usual.
"Primary School students (not pupils these days - PC BS)"
Nope, they are clients, customers, service recivers etc but not pupils.
They are now considered to be potential long-term debtors -- after all, they are all supposed to go to Uni and get a loan. They are the future of the furture markets. housing went broke on debts being bought and sold - next it's the students.
Not 'PC BS' but 'market potential'
There was a paper from an Austrailan Agricultural department (or something like that ) taht looked at what attracted corvids to food.
It seems that the chemical smell they go for is in most rotting stuff and also in stinky cheese.
I have conducted a couple of experiments aong thes elines with stilton rind - the local magpies arrive within ten minutes, even if I've not seen them for days. They then beging to squabble and fight over tiny bits of cheese rind.
As Vultures are important for removing dead meat from the environment it's very likely they don't give a toss about human or other animal - it's gone off and therefore ripe enough to eat.
There wil be similar thngs happening in London in the run up to Boris's Olympics.
Think of the money the punters have coughed up to get tickets, and wil be spending withthier official Visa cards on the official sponsors crappy burgers.
Boris has already said he wants the riff-raff cleared away - that's just about the entire East End apart from the places where the property prices went up.
