Chernobyl

You knew, immediately when they said "no chance at all of another Chernobyl" that was exactly what will happen

Says it all

Still, when they eventually get it restarted, perhaps they can have the actual remining time on there, since I never understood how a 500 day countdown can be showing currently more than 500 days to go.

I suppose we have the Olympic flame going out episode still to come * etc etc

* you read it here first

Presumably

Presumably they mean unlawful streaming, not all streaming.

Oh wait

How ultrasonic can you go

Think about it, - 12 Mbps data rate - sound - Nyquist - ok that;s really ultra

Old tech

We call it MapNav

It involves sheets of printed paper (does anybody remember paper) usually in a book (that's a collection of printed sheets of paper) and you had to read it (that's right it doesn't talk to you - at the next roundabout take the third exit, etc)

LORAN - because you're worth it (tm)

Timewasters

Why don't these companies stop wasting people's time with all this legal shite and get back to producing good software.

Oh wait

RE: Lamont Cranston

"the band can strut about on stage, pretending to play"

Isn't that what they do anyway, with a DAT doing the actual "live" gig

Speed

Given that speed is not a contributory factor in nearly all RTC's are not these radar wagglers basically wasting their time, and if they really wanted to make a difference, perhaps researching the main causes of RTC's and acting to prevent those would be more helpful.

Oh wait, that doesn't get into the media.

Rootkit

I have never, and will never, forgive Sony for the rootkit episode.

Who do they think they are / we are ?

Effect

Jane Clift .... meet Barbra Streisand

Questioning

Since the extradition is for "questioning" presumably once that questioning is over, Julian can come back to the UK, regardless of the outcome.

If the Swedes then wish to lodge charges, then they must re-apply for extradition, otherwise they will be seen as extraditing for questioning but then slapping a charge on him.

What I mean is, he is extradited for questioning ONLY, when that ends, back he comes.

Hopefully.

re: Q18: What is your main language

In fact I could justifiably put "RPG ILE" since I spend more hours per day in that than anything else

Am I alone

in that I am totally fucked off with items I HAVE BOUGHT being still under the control of the manufacturer. No I did not enter into a EULA* it is MY PROPERTY you are messing with.

I'll reeat for you Sony, you have had the money, now let me use what I paid for. k thx

* clicking 'yes' or 'I agree' does not constitute a legal arrangement, look it up

We had this last year

"96 hour repair SLA, to be run from Portugal"

What could possibly go wrong, we asked.

Derrrrrr

Yanks

Good job they didn't ask the Yanks - 90% think the Sun revolves oround THEM

Oh no

Not another fucking database.

How long before this info

- gets left on a train

- gets sold to a company

- turns up on wikileaks

What could possibly go wrong

Oh yes, and who's going to maintain all those address changes ?

Oh no

Do we have to re-tune our videos again ???

Why don't we

Why don't we all pop down to Trafalgar square and camp out for 18 days and see if anything happens.

Oh, wait

Idiots

"In real life, you take into account many things when making a decision: for example, where you are, what time it is, and what your friends think. We asked - shouldn’t your search engine do the same thing?"

NO IT FUCKING SHOULDN'T

who the hell do these people thing they are / we are

Competitors

should have a great time

Dear Mr Plod

Streetview

Presumably this google-cart will have a streetview camera on top.

They were only practicing here on Earth.

No prob

2. You will not create more than one personal profile.

is not the same as

off you go

Indeed

it seems now every one can "walk like an Egyptian"

I, for one, .... etc

Pics

Dynamic

It's a dynamic ever-changing planet.

Get. Over. It.

k thx

And while they're at it

please chuck Windows Vista in there

Portable

"portable it ain’t" - it's mains powered you numpty

que

since when was Vodafone "public sector"

I need to get out more

I read that one as

"......just f***** off and leave the internet and people's piracy alone?"

Kipper App

oops I must mean killer app, the first one I even heard of was Lotus 123 back in the early 80's, long before Apple (the computer company not the music company) which of course resulted in the IBM PC becoming de facto

I am a customer and a free man

"Acura is a luxury brand owned by Honda, not merely a luxury car. Perhaps Honda uses VINs as a primary key/unique identifier for its customers."

Honda does not own me, I am a customer of theirs, not _their_ customer/

And what use these VIN's once I've sold it on ?

Echelon

We do they need to ask for something the already have ?

You do realise

that when the bees die out, we die out

2012

And another thing

What's the legality of making me pay for a (e.g.) 10 Mbps service that at best can only ever deliver 3 Mbps ?

When I buy petrol does the cashier say - yes sir I know the pump says 10 litres but it only put in 3 litres, please pay for 10 litres

I mean FFS

Weird

This is beyond weird - he dies on the same date in the same city as someone he famously sang about - hmmm

re: so Norfolke @n@ Goode

I am not a _publicly-accountable_ and _funded_ body therefore FOI requests to me personally can be ignored.

k thx

Questioning

There is zero chance of Assange being extradited to Sweden until he is actually charged with something.

But then there was zero chance of him being arrested/imprisoned in the UK where no charge physically existed in Sweden.

If these Swedish cops want to ask him some questions, why don't they just ring him up, in a police station in the UK if you like, or even pop over and visit us.

Their non-appearance in the UK states the obvious, they want him to go to Sweden.

Why - guess ....

Never

I know that never is a very long time, but it's a lot shorter than the day when I (a) buy anything with a mobile phone or (b) allow myself to be referred to as a "mopper" ("muppet" is too close)

Yours,

Mr. Just Does Calls (not even texts) thankyou very much
