Thanks for all the memories
Those headlines. If a time traveler had executed the whole upper political US crust including the retarded reporters and the Prez with a zap gun set to "max pain disintegration", all of this could have been avoided.
Re: Oh FFS - patent - ideas
"And getting VC funding pretty much requires a patent"
This is not an argument for patents. It just means VCs are chicken and want to have a guarantee. Well, FUCK THEM. If they want a guarantee, they can buy a toaster.
Re: wow
Well, as long as you don't breath it in and keep it off your skin, you should be good. It's not classified as a carcinogen either (though diesel burn products are):
"In a multi-site, case-control study, there was evidence for an increased risk of prostate cancer and squamous cell carcinoma of the lung [36] but this effect could not be attributed to any particular chemical. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have evaluated diesel fuels as being “not classifiable as to their carcinogenicity to humans (Group 3)” [9]: there is “inadequate evidence” to classify diesel as a human carcinogen and “limited evidence” for the carcinogenicity of diesel to experimental animals.
What is amazing is that generators are on the upper floors. I seriously doubt that is a good idea. What if a fuel line breaks?
Exactly comrade. I would even say more...
"The Microsoft design principles are the overall set of principles that are driving the Windows 8 Store applications."
A more bizarre and meaningless phrase couldn't be uttered by a lifelong scholar of Hegelian Dialectic Materialism As Applied To Marxism/Leninism who needs to say exactly what needs to be said lest he be put on the passenger list of a train to a re-education institution.
Tiled? Updating? Selectable?
I'm so tiled, I mean tired.
Oberon Operating System circa 1985, maybe. MAYBE?
Also the ACME text editor...
Still no Zombies?
I am so disappoint.
The only good side is that the Keynesian Delusionalists à la Krugman will now be held up to their words: After this, the economy should rebound swiftly, right? No I don't believe so either. The broken window fallacy applies. But I'm sure we will soon hear moans that Sandy didn't destroy ENOUGH for a sustainable rebound.
Re: Ominous feeling about this
You don't like?
" conspiracy to illegally structure financial transactions to avoid reporting requirements"
What the hell is that? Would I be going to club fed if I withdrew USD 9000 twice in a row (even though I know nothing about any "reporting requirements" and haven't signed anything about any "reporting requirements" that I can remember)? Even though several three-letter agencies-cum-gestapo-outfits have the records anyway? What kind of downtrodden people accepts this sh*t without storming Venerable Places Of High Discourse with sharpened showels and lead pipes?
Re: Can anyone spell
Why?
Just don't buy from them. Or do you want OTHER people not to buy from them? Sorry, can't do.
Re: re: What will we get .. the post-pre-resequelated trilogy?
All my childhood ... destroyed!
Overregulated and south-european, moi?
Seriously, why would Google want to hand the french government anything? So they can blow it on make-work schemes? Sod that.
Really, french politicians are on an all-out trip to destroy that country. Regulatory uncertainty, powerful unions, the minister who promises to "take on" the rare successful investor and insults towards the management boards of the automotive industry. Additionally, promises to "collect" 30 billion in taxes (could be that money won't be, like, invested anywhere but misspent, maybe ... MAYBE?)
Do we have 3x10⁶ people unemployed? Yep, good job.
Atlantis!
In Switzerland?
Hah! That looks like the shock & awe that the US likes to visit on faraway people. I hope these transformers weren't filled with PCB?

Re: Management "strikes" again!!!
Where else would you put the pumps? In the office level? I don't think so. Diesel dripping through the building tends to piss people off.
Lord Brunel Resurrection!
A new movement is needed!
Aren't these advanced boiling water reactors a bit of a trouble? There were some incidents...
Posted in Sandy takes out NYC colo facility
In America!
No Zombies involved?
Not properly american, then.
Re: Or
Tax arbitration is a completely legit way to keep what's yours instead of giving it to the paper pusher superstructure. Only relentless statist propaganda always in need to "finance" their splurge expeditions (while actual services wither and decay in corruption and inefficiency) have the hoi polloi convinced otherwise.
Re: The eLephant in the room
What other issues are there with Luxembourg's tax regime??
Also
distorts competition
Because competition is "distorted" unless everyone is robbed equally with no escape.

German style?
Bad developer habits, you say?
Incidentally, I have just installed an UPS made by a well-known german manufacturer. There is nothing to say against the hardware, which is built in the staid tradition of Tiger Tanks. However, the software (evidently from a 3rd party) comes with: JRE 6, has its own mind on where it puts its files on a Unix system (looks like cancer imported by developers used to Windows) and demands to run as root to access the serial line to control the UPS (why!!). A rooty webserver and tcpserver are also started. Oh my.
Re: ?
Oh you!
Pretty telling
Leni Riefenstahl already managed to cut-and-splice a picture of moggy sitting on a windowsill in Nürnberg while Hitler was rolling past in his motorcade.
Has anything changed? Not really.
Hold on, Obama is institutionalizing killing-by-decr... how boring. How about a nice cat.
> 2036 visit.
Implying the US will still exist by then and not have - in a best-case scenario - defederalized and killed its whole nazi bureaucratic pyramid. In the worst case - well, it's 7.3 billion against 300 million.
Re: A brilliant idea
> Call me crazy
You must be the guy with the retarded redneck role (there is one in every Hollywood movie) who comes up with MANLY PLANS that every spectator knows will go haywire and probably kill at least 20% of the likeable protagonists, including the nice young female.
> You used a Mac to demo Windows 8, a machine without a Windows key and traditionally no scroll wheel?
The Windows Key is like pork: It makes everything better!
Really that intellectual abortion, brainfart of an unknown Microserf who I hope will be Satan's favourite squishy cow, mainly meant to make the unwashed masses go "oohhhaahhh" and buy new keyboards is of utter uselessness. There is a whole fscking row of F* keys on the top going generally unused.
Re: It would be easy to boot modders off PSN
> I don't think it's a problem at all. Sony's engineers could craft a test that they *know* fails on modded firmwares. The possible ways this could happen are endless....
That kind of optimistic handwaving is generally only seen when parliament discusses economic prospects.
Re: Is the Register sponsored by Apple/Google these days?
It is actually sponsored by the Synarchic Knights of Templar Rebirth ("TRES") bent on world domination through relentress baiting of entrenched "fans" of various "technologies".
Re: "countless more jobs would be created and more wealth generated"
> Emergency legislation
"Going bust" doesn't mean disappearing in a puff of smoke. It just means the company can no longer pay its creditors, so needs to be "liquidated". If there are valuable assets, they will be sold to raise money to pay the creditors - (which is why all the bitching and moaning about sharkish financiers dropping by and ripping into the corpse - as opposed to holding up the taxpayer to come up with cash, which is supposedly good value for money, one wonders how - are retarded). There might be "Qatari Windows 9" for example.
Oy.
Apple suddenly concerned about the "public interest".
I think that cracking came from a bullshitometer....
> recovery plan
Probably will involve actions that will be seen as "antisocialistic" and "exploitative" and "unfriendly" by the Hollande Government. They will then be picketed by irate employees until they are belly-up for good. Everyone can then help themselves to some of the tumbleweeds that remain, then queue at the ANPE.
Re: Was he
> thremonuclear
Nork just has some simple nuclear, no thermo-nuclear, popper based on Pu. Which may or may not work as the test was a bit of a fizzle.
Re: "Brand New Operating System"
Plus SecureBoot.
Re: Steady decline
RICHTO dares to say "You just show your ignorance here."
This is the most stupid gunk this week, even for RICHTO, professional astroturfer from Redmond.
@Nuke: Half in the Bag!

You are now reading this in the voice of Mr. Plinkett ...
Re: Hmm
Supersonic relative to the intergalactic hydrogen gas, I would imagine.
So, yes, really.
No owl picture, so a penguin will have to do.
Re: Some people know
Not "plasma astrophysicists solves everything" again?
Re: Clearly
Every late project should have a white hole on its desk, then.
NT 3 kernel like the OS/2 2.1 kernel?

Re: Steady decline
Oh so true. I threw Vista off the laptop for a Fedora 17, which is supposed to be worse. Well, it's not. It works better. It makes sense. It is controllable. It is faster. There are apps for it. Even the Synaptics touchpad is less flaky.
W2K was the "last know good" for me. Entropy just increased afterwards.
Please lie down on this couch and tell me about your anti-capitalistic biases...
So are these jumped-up phone number-sellers innocent small business owners or engaged in some typically sketchy market-trader dealings designed to exploit local superstitions?
Really, I don't see the dichotomy here. It works like this:
1) Person A has X
2) Person B wants X
3) MARKET EXCHANGE!
4) Profit on both sides!
It's NOT a joke
If they wanted to protect people from wasting their time and money on useless education, a lot of "learning" bearing the official bureaucratic seal of approval would have to be prohibited immediately.
Re: Welcome to good ol' USA
I do think that one has more and more relevance today.
Re: Amazon
> fifty years ago I did the silent killing course
Ok gramps, stop reading "The Forever War" (which I have an "illegal" copy on my Kindle of)...
"Been using their Kindle to generate unauthorised copies of downloaded works"
Hmmm..... I am just using my Kindle to read unauthorized copies of downloaded works.
Does that count?
Re: Funny
Who is that no-one you are speaking about?
Disturbingly Sexualized Windows Mascots Might Be Of Some Help!
Something along those lines (Largely SFW .. I guess)
Grandma is that you?
Does the exhibition site need/set cookies?
I just arrive at the home page and then nothing...
At least nothing that is distinguishable from stuff you can find in any good comic book shop.
Re: "the originals have been expunged"
Blair Bless! I was barely getting by on my daily allowance of six.
