Posted in Depts declare dumped IT deals
says it all...
"Departments including transport and communities and local government said they have no central record of IT deals.... "
easier for plausible deniability for people pissing money up the wall..
Posted in BSkyB mulls UK Online closure
forced to use router...
technically yes, but I have 'extracted' my user name and password to enable me to use the router of my choice for years now without any ill effects.....
Well...
Having worked in and for a number of local governments, both as staff and expensive consultant, I know that most councillors will struggle to find the on switch.
and the day that they give up having everything printed on paper is the day satan goes to work on a toboggan...

it should tread carefully...
"it should tread carefully - failure to obey an enforcement notice is a criminal offence."
No M'lud, it's a parlimentary privilege....
Posted in Sky 3D to launch in April

after shelling out for a wizzy new HDTV, they are expecting people to shell out yet again for a new box.
I'll think i'll stick with my old crt for a little while longer and pick up a cheap telly on ebay in a couple of months...
SHOCK HORROR

if you piss off employees they might become pissed off....
as others have said....
hardly a proper test.... 22 minutes a day - seems to be set up to fail. Not exactly a scientific study...

Yes, but whats the average speed??
assuming the 26 minutes were the comfort stops, 345 miles over 13 hours gives just over 26mph... is that the same as the tesla??
If not, how can you compare?
thats fine but...
what happens when the hostages are on the 10th floor or the 20th, or the 30th....
or for that matter, the bad guys keep a watch out the windows and shoot the poor guy setting up his gear at a suspiciously close range...

and
is the person responsible for this cock (dick??) up going to be disciplined for wasting tax payers money on this pointless excercise?
Thought not.
Posted in O2 confirms UK Pré launch date
so...
is that really UNLIMITED or "unlimited**..... i can hazard a guess.
I was actually looking forward to the pre, but my sweet deal with vodafone makes it unlikely i'll swap operators. especially so on those tarrifs.
er...
Have these idiots never played half-life??
"Because we can't yet take measurements from real black holes, we need a way to recreate this phenomenon in the lab in order to study it, to validate it." - why do we need this? are you trying justify having a job you planet threatening lab monkey

Fuel Economy X2
"while the average during our week with the car was 49.8."
I also get better economy in my Volvo 2.0D, and that comes with twatting up and down the M1 every week at around 80mph...

Anyway, I just rang Ticketmaster to get a refund, they told me to beat it.

Ours..
Where i used to work we had seven ibm's for the data warehouse, so naturally, they were named after the members of S Club 7 - how we laughed across the office when I announced that Rachel had gone down on me again.
Nowadays its much more conservative planets, saturn, earth mercury etc.

You'd think they would be glad of the coverage... I hope lego don't jump on the band wagon with the brick testament, although that is largely unaltered...

Posted in MP calls for Jezza Clarkson's head
yet again....
Here we go again, yet more complaints from people who probably didn't even watch the show.
We are now in the situation where Daily Wail readers are scanning the BBC's programming, desperate to send an email to the hotly bookmarked complaints dept at anything offensive.
If people want to complain, then how about complaining about all the news channels recently being a 48hr Russell Brand/ Jonanthon Ross show whilst people were actually dying in the world.
