Posted in Windows XP SP3 leaps into the tubes
why install
microsoft have already stated that the end user will see no real benefit from installing this update, and I dont care much for the blue screen of death.
come back in 12 months as there is nothing to see here
downgrade your upgrade
well lets see, if something is better its generally called an upgrade.
xp=better than vista
xp=upgrade.
you are all required to use the correct terminology in that the shift from vista to xp isnt a downgrade, its actually an upgrade!
mines the floppy with fdisk on it.

windows vista is a lemon, behold the HTC Shift,

word of the day

thanks go the anonymouse coward @ Wednesday 9th April 2008 11:10 GMT
ps o2 stink of death
why oh why
why do people always compare new phones to the iphone, oh yes, because its simply a better handset, people moan about 3g when most people dont even know what 3g is,
countless people I know go and upgrade to a 2.5g phone, why? they ycudnt give a f**k about 3g.
what happens if the next iphone has hsdpa up to 7mbps, all the pathetic apple bashers will still find fault with it.
"well its only got a 16bit screen" my nokia has 70 billion (get a grip)
the fact all the new handsets are called iphone killers leads me to believe that they percieve the handset to be superior.
nokia isnt showing one ounce of innovation here because this type of handset is already out there. They are copying the design because the iphone is a highly desirable peice of electronics.

statistics
are purely shit.
Posted in Dell gets in a state over SSD claims
wear and tear
there are so many different opinions on how long an ssd will last.
as soon as there is a story on el reg re mass failure of eeepcs, then we will all know for sure how long an ssd lasts, in the mean time, shut your holes because no one really knows!!!!

Posted in Wife rings up £11,000 downloading bill
all valid points
these are all valid points, im not sure why vodafone dont detect such a high usage in such a short space of time, its utter crap that their billing system doesnt detect this quick enough, its all about making money.
In a word, avoid using data abroad until the eu get their nose into it.
Posted in Wife rings up £11,000 downloading bill
i dont think so
Channel4OD would not allow you to download anything if it identifies your IP number as being outside of the uk, quite similiar to BBC's iPlayer.
Anyone agree???
no truth
there is no truth in this story whatsoever!
please implement scare tactics as soon as possible!
up to 8meg
jesus,
with all these people getting booted off the internet, maybe people will get the promised speeds they are paying for.
there will be more people in this country offline than there are online.
Bring it on BPI muppets, lets see if your bite is as big as your bark.
PS, F*** tiscali indeed!!!!!!
Posted in O2 misses iPhone targets
60 percent of people dont even know what 3G is. 99 percent of statistics are purely made up.
no one uses 3g, its a flop, is the iphone? who knows and really lets be honest WHO CARES (why be mystical about the sales figures) steve jobs did say that he has sold 4 million units, but can we please delete all these comments with people commenting about the pissy iphone, (most of whom have never touched the thing, never mind used it.
Also, you cannot judge a product on usability by sitting in an o2 shop on a saturday afternoon for a mere 5 minutes.personally im sick to death of hearing about it.
ITS JUST A PHONE PEOPLE, GET OVER IT

@Peter Redding
my apologies
@ Mark
why would virgin media give you back a months subscription when the service has been off less than 12 hours
virgin media can do without you freeloader types!
that is all
people need to get lives
Big deal, virgin media died for a day.
Ive been with telewest since they released broadband at a mere 512k. Its gone wrong twice in about 4 years, now id say thats pretty damned good.
People such as Anonymous Coward looking at switching providers cos he couldnt get on-line, needs to get his head slapped round a bit and then some
Its broadband people, its not gonna cause the end of all life on earth cos u couldnt go shoppin on amazon. Shit happens
DEAL WITH IT PEOPLE, ITS ONLY BROADBAND!!!
rant over
optomistic
what they should be saying is there will be 120 million handsets capable of recieving mobile tv,
no one uses 3g, i bet there is the same amount of 3g phones out there, capable yes, used, um, lets seee, errr, NO
people need to get a grip
people fail to realise the following points:
1) people are THINK and will pay over the odds
2) People see the words 5megapixel and think its the dogs bollox, the n95 has in no way "an ok battery life" since its the worst nokia product ever and gets slagged off to high heaven.
3) Anyone who thinks the iphone wont go far, needs to get a grip
4) Most people who have a 3g phone dont even use the capability FACT
5) who has ever changed the battery in their mobile phone, the fact the the iphone has a non removeable one, who cares, GET A GRIP
6) Steve Jobs is 100% correct when he says that 3g impacts on the battery life, in fact making a phone call will deplete the battery life, as will sending an sms, i fail to see the logic in the guys statement.
I will laugh my tits off at the people who import one of these on the premise of unlocking it, then apple plugging the security holes and their phone is locked once again to only accepting an at&t sim card
the following goes to Ben Knudsen who obvioulsly knows nothing about mobile phone contracts, you cant simply cancel a phone contract because you feel like it, you'll be buying yourself out the contract or cancelling it on month 17.
People are moaning and complaining about the iPhone, something which they have neither seen or used, so unless you have SHUT THE HELL UP

iPhone Shmyphone
well, here we are again with an iPhone story.
Ive gone from WOW, to WHATEVER.
Simply put the iPhone is a iPod with a cheap and nasty GSM radio in it.
The gadget itself it technically unimpressive.
Think of it more of an iPod with a phone inside rather than a phone with an iPod inside
Its junk, and anyone who get this on a contract AND pays for the hardware wants examined by a doctor
iThink not
Anyone who is going to pay a montly subscription for the next 18 months and shell out for the hardware, needs a brain scan to determine whether they have some damage up there!
Paying even 1 pence towards a contracted handset is ludicrious, people should boycott this!

re: And the IT angle is?
its on the science and biology tab, why dont you take notice and read the whole thing u idiot!
re Why bother...
what a thing to say,
no wonder u posted that anonymously, you freak of nature
p2p
this story is a load of crap, they must assume that the bbc iplayer is the first p2p software created and if they are going to detect p2p traffic and cap the data rate, then so be it. No big deal there since this is already being done. ADSL & Cable internet.
We never had this when kazaa was released near on 5 years ago or channel4od for that matter. SO WHY NOW
In response to the first post, I have a program called netlimiter, its not free but allows me to shape my own traffic, if i dont want kservice to use my internet, i simply drop the connection down to 1k. If I do this however, the download speed slows and it takes me about a fortnight to get a program. Im not desperate to watch it there and then.
Oh, and the freak who said "the internet wasnt built for transferring video", wants put up against a wall and shot.
Rant over,
thank you and goodnight!
defective
imagine microsoft releasing a defective product to the market!

re. Web and Walk UK
Sorry to split hairs but web and walk in the UK DOESNT cost this much, please check your facts before you start posting rubbish
the license
I really am at a loss to understand why we actually pay a license fee.
The BBC should stand on its own two feet and if it suffers from bad management and goes bust, so much the better!
It makes money from premium rate phone ins and should use advertising on its website and not pin it all no the british public. Im sure there a multitude of ways it can make money.
the BBC stinks of death
re: Ooooh... I'm so clever...
shut the hell up!
great
so let me get this straight
your get an ORANGE mobile phone
a LEMON for a laptop
they think their customers are TURNIPS
and a PANTHER for a talkplan
The only thing left orange can do is entice people onto its network with bits of rubbish and cheap gimmicks. Bottom line is their products, services and network are complete tripe and no one in their right mind would get nething from them.
Posted in BT to drag T-Mobile onto 21st Century
oh my lord
Ive always said that if I had the choice of a no phone line or have BT bill me, id go without, besides my faithful tmobile can be used for to up to 2mb broadband.
I would imagine tmobile go downhill from here on in.
Now im stuck with having the choice of having a tmobile or no phone at all, ill go with the no phone option.
BT are the most diabolical bunch of goons I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with.
They have their dirty nose into everything
Posted in iPhone hack bypasses AT&T
now now
come on ladies, youre turning this into a bitch fest more than anything!
Vista
Dont bother with Vista sister,
its bloatware gone wrong!
you big bunch of whingers
I just thought id tell all you freaks to stop whinging, they way you go no, you would think virgin were the first company to turn its helplines into a chargeable service
why should virgin employ people to sir there and answer call about something that has nothing to do with them, even the IVR says "if you have a fault with your TELEWEST equipment, please press one", if you have a fault with a printer or something not provided by us, then please call the manafacturer".
If i was running a business and employed people to answer calls on something that didnt help my business im sure i would change to a premium rate number
orange did the same in 2000 when it launched payg, in those days customer service on 450 was a free service but people used to ring up to "chat" cos they had nothing else to do. Charging people is the only way to clamp down on this unless any of you have better suggestions.
get a grip people, and those who threaten to leave and go to sky, please just leave and pray they dont start charging you money or diverting your call to asia

the bog
If the phones have the words motorola or siemens stamped on the front then they deserve to be in the bog
The futures far from orange
Im sorry did I read this right, you did say 30megabytes?
Are orange having a girraffe?????
I have tmobiles web and walk and I have to say that I havent even come close to using its 1024 megabytes a month, and even if I did, I know I wouldnt be charged, just get a slapped wrist and told not to do it again, lets face it, to download 1gb a month on gprs ud have to spend some considerable time using your mobile.
Simply put, as orange network is mostly made up of barbed wire on totem poles and coathangers on the top of buildings (the signal is total rubbish), Its all their network will be able to handle.
So here we are looking at orange to join the ranks of diabolical companies such as NTL, BT & The Dixons group.
Even their voice plans are total junk.
Apart from their terrible customer services, poor or non existant technical support, the dreaded orange home screen, and the message you get nearly every time you ring 150,
"I'm SORRY, but THIS service is currently unavailable, PLEASE TRY AGAIN" here is yet another reason to avoid orange like the black death.
Im not a tmobile fan boy but simply put, they have some idea about what customers want.
Long live T-mobile!
Posted in Virgin throttles national cable network
People dont know the difference
How many people who have posted on here dont know what the word "capped" means.
For example, orange u get just 2gb a month on their "free broadband", if you continue to go over this, they will look at disconnecting you. Thats the definition of a usage cap.
Max out the connection and I can easily download triple that in a day.
Virgin media is unlimited. and if its only going to affect a mere 5 percent of people, it just goes to show that a lot (and I mean the majority), dont download 350mb in peak times,
I also dont dont think virgin has set these limits without first looking at peoples usage.
Quit moaning people, all you have to do is leave your computer on after midnight to download all your torrents because thats where all the massive amounts of data come from at the end of the day.
