Seinfeld, Ep 116

NO FAST BROADBAND FOR YOU!!!

Nice pitch

Like that plot outline, except that's the plot from The Last Starfighter isn't it ?

Moments of Clarity

"Virgin are to target bittorent"

"Virgin Media is known to be in advanced talks to launch a legal, licensed peer-to-peer music service"

Hmmmm clearing the way for their own service methinks?? This sounds like a bit of an abuse of a monopoly to me. "If you're on our network you have to use our music service, now gimme your credit card."

Uh-huh

OK so let me get this straight, if someone has used a number to con ppl before, then they won't be able to get one again........unless they turn up with a different trading name and a different director?!?!

When they dreamed up this idea did they really think that a con artist would be honest when applying for a number they were going to use dis-honestly?

Swing and a miss OFCOM

Setanta?!?!?!

Last year I would have probably agreed, because prem plus was a bit cheeky. But now Setanta have got all of the England away games not to mention a lot of the other stuff they managed to steal from Sky.

It wouldn't be so bad if they had their own delivery platform, but I'm buggered if i'm going to pay the BBC for a TV license, sky for a sky plus box and subscription AND setanta to get englands away games, screw that!!

Does it just keep the last jump?

I've changed networks 3 times now and kept the number. Does that mean my calls travel through 3 other networks before they hit my current? That's insane!!

Why Managers should not get superuser access

"....is accused of creating a super password"

and to hide it he no doubt chose the username "administrator"

They'd be better off spending that cash on some education courses for the current crowd of idiots.

"....so I have to stop reading here and clear my cache"

Call it what you want but it'll make you go blind.

Re: Pain in the backside

If you have VPN access then log in on remote desktop and watch it from there. OK the frame rate might not be quite as good but it will work.

Re: VIA, before you go...

One week?!?!?!? You lucky sod, I lost that on my first VIA mobo, and I had at least three others that were worse. Alas the things you do when the wallet is light.

natural tipping point

..and he was in the bit that got "tipped". Hire 'em cheap push 'em out before you have to give them a pay review.
