Nice plan.

A great leap forward for a country that has a substantial hydro electricity capacity and (of course) a large sovereign wealth fund from oil revenue to build more capacity too.

We could just do it ourselves...

No, wait, that would be too simple...

Call me what you like, but I believe there's something inherently wrong with a society that can build space vehicles, but still has children living on railway lines.

Rev Ludd.

I know many people that profess to buy records, but when I go to their place it's always the digital material that's being played.

Yes, the album sleeve always looks better when it's bigger, but if you need that mushy sound, buy an Optimod.

This is a nonsense.

If the Congress people actually think this will have any influence on genuinely bad people and how they communicate with others - they are completely diluted.

"Did IQ's drop sharply while I was a way?"

My daughter has a phrase she uses for occasions like this:

LOL

It's golden bonus day for every PR agency.

Can you imagine the fevered telephone calls following the exposure of this?

If I was a yacht or sports car dealer I'd be launching an extensive campaign of my own.

Mr Hague should go back to delivering barrels of beer in his beloved Yorkshire.

Not only are his advisors completely misguided, but they are also creating a situation where the 'bad people' completely circumnavigate any chance that GCHQ has of intercepting comms from people with sociopath issues.

It's as if nobody's ever heard of VPN or something.

Some OTT operators in Europe have been doing this for a while.

The process requires dynamic adjustment of the ABR in the player or the ability to rewrite a manifest based on other users' player telemetry.

This is not new technology or a "massive game changer".

Netflix just has a better PR team.

There isn't much we can do now that the horse has bolted.

Even now, I can sense an uneasy presence of total and utter nonchalance from the majority of voters.

You can hardly believe that people would be as misguided to actually put their real address on a website offering services like this.

"Did I.Q's suddenly drop while I was away?"

Let's hope that they don't find the Christmas Tapes episodes...

Frequesnt flyer complaint.

I know the BA PR elves will be reading through all these comments.

YOUR LOYALTY SCHEME IS RUBBISH!

In these days of cost cutting by c-level people, us 'mere mortals' have to always fly cattle class.

Would it be too much to ask for some occasional love on long haul flights?

Perhaps a cheeky lounge entry once in a blue moon or even priority to book exit row seats if you're 80% near your next tier.

Even KLM/Air France has a better scheme.

Sorry for the moan all you non-flyers.

Ridley Scott in: NASA bods free tickets to see The Martian shcoka!

I'm sure the former Hovis Bread commercial man had nothing to do with the timing, but I bet the 'shouty' marketeer types thought that all their Christmases had come at once...unless (of course), it's a rock.

So many bad rights deals (for us).

Netflix, Prime etc will always be cursed by the buying power of Sky and it's strangle-hold on the studio rights for most big titles.

PRS lawyers on standby....

The gravy train has hit an antipodean landline.

Saying that, the artists who worked hard to craft the music we all enjoy should get some cash.

I spy lawyers getting very very large paydays soon.

Work in progress.

At this rate Kia will have an extremely good alternative to my Toyota Aygo in about ten years.

I'm happy to let the city dwellers lead the 'early adopter curve' until then.

Best one I've seen today..

Saying that, it wasn't a tough lineup this year either.

Good work hacks.

Yay! non-WinMo trolls on the rampage...

Interesting to note that the carrier who always markets itself on being the best is now languishing at the bottom of the compost heap.

Personally, I'd be happy if I could walk through my relatively large home town (which isn't up on a hill, at the bottom of a valley or near an MOD installation) and they managed to provide voice calls without interruption.

How long before dual-sim phones begin to become much more popular?

I work (from home) for Americans based in Nevada.

Lync is the desired tool of choice for them and I can honestly say that if MY business relied on Lync I'd be deeply concerned.

Thankfully; Skype seems to fill the void.

I envy you city slickers and your fancy 4G stuff.

I'd be happier if they could get their act together and just provide useful 3G in the center of my home town (of 120,000 residents). I know I'm not the only person here who thinks the same way.

And we still do business with these savages?

Never mind all that nonsense...

What I want to know is if Aunty will move Family Guy to BBC 2 in the evening?

If you condensed all the programme material and removed the trails and continuity, would it really need more than four hours a day?

Wouldn't the solution be to move BBC Parliament onto the internet and use that bandwidth instead?

What a waste of parlimentary time.

When things get bad, the first thing politicians address is personal liberty because, "it's for your safety".

What exactly have these people got against human sexual freedom?

Producers will simply move to other parts of Europe to produce their features.

We live in a global economy.

On our second one.

My current wife loved the original one so much, she demanded a replacement.

I own a 'sporty' Golf, but 9/10 I'l always grab the Toyota keys for most jobs.

Yes, the stereo is so crap (I can't even describe how bad), but replace the speakers and you're golden.

MPG is good, running costs are excellent.

I live in the countryside and have never found it wanting in any situation - it's also huge fun to drive.

Gongratulations El Reg
