Mr Young

Apple coughs to iPhone 3G IOS 4 upgrade problems

Mr Young
Badgers

What a really, really big surprise - I'm shocked!

iPad alert: Are you a selfish elite or an independent geek?

Mr Young

The factory owners son?

They really can be the worst of the inept. Try not to think too much about that 10 ton press when he's around - you might do something you regret! Har,har.

The Register comment guidelines 2010

Mr Young
Coat

I wonder?

I can't possibly know everything and I sometimes wonder if some commentard words on the Reg would result in the commentard ending up in the shit - law/court/money etc? Or maybe the Reg? Or maybe both? I'm only curious - it doesn't bother me cause I'm a fucking genius after 10 pints of beer anyway?!

185hp?

I do agree with the humorous comments throughout - maybe they mean 185hp for each of the fans? Even then this wee graphic looks like it would just about manage to wobble about the ground making lots of noise! I think it would probably take about 2000hp and big rotors to get this in the air - Helicopter would do maybe?

Mr Young

Airline passenger videos Atlanta maggot horror

Phew!

Glad to hear it wasn't mice - don't they like nibbling wiring for some strange reason? Not a good idea in a plane I would say? Alternatively - I've heard maggots are pretty good at cleaning fleshy wounds.

Twitter bomb threat joke man faces possible jail sentence

Mr Young
Thumb Up

I can make a guess with the understand?

Maybe if he pled not guilty they'd make an even bigger example of him? After it's been established the silly tweeting twat is no threat (which I'd bet on) he should be sent on his way. It does seem totally unnecessary to ruin his life!

Large Hadron Collider to fire up again next Thursday

Mr Young

Inside Microsoft's innovation crisis

Mr Young
Unhappy

Ooh no!

Not me. Please? I'll try to behave, honest. I just do not see much consideration for speed and efficiency when using modern software - especially when I consider the sc-fi realms of the hardware technology nowadays.

Mr Young
Coat

OpenOffice

Tried that once - what a dog! Why is it all this freaking great hardware technology can't even keep up with word processing? I don't know much about OpenOffice but I read somewhere it uses Java? Not the very same people with that fucking Yahoo opt-out tickbox? Bah - write some assembly language and make it fast? Ooh noooo! Spec. change? Too difficult? Morons.
