'We've done nothing wrong' -- Seems to be quite a popular sure-fire get-out-of-jail free pass these days.

Re: If you are using Exchange...
Yes, that's what the AC is saying and I'm inclined to agree.
Bouncy carstle?
Judging from the down-voting pattern going on; it would seem that at least one Daily Mail reader is feeling a bit butt-hurt. Maybe they've been trying out what they saw on PornHub.
RSS titles don't do strike-through mark-up, but, if they did, I wouldn't be looking for my free beer.
Re: Second (smaller) balloon burst?
The bang of the small balloon might destabilise the launch platform.
Re: What about this?
"The ALTS25 precisely captures the highest altitude obtained during a flight to a maximum of 25,000 feet above sea level (by special order, the ALTS25-60K is calibrated to altitudes up to 60,000 feet)" -- only 60,000 feet.
Re: What is it with WP7?
Watch out, you might get down-voted or flamed for not liking the "Slick, intuitive look".
"We're sorry we missed you. We attempted to deliver a package to you today, but, it appears no-one was available to take the delivery. Please fill out the form below in order to reschedule the delivery, or, if you wish to collect your item(s) from your local collection centre, please bring along this form and some identification."
"but actually gave them some totally random other thing in a bag" -- Quite a common item to find actually, potatoes are used [in this scam] due to their weight and cost. I also remember seeing potatoes used in The Real Hustle's Christmas gift wrapping scam.
"Why is it an offence to separate a fool and his money?" -- Fraud / Obtaining Funds by Deception. You choose.
Re: "Expand Comment" still doesn't work on Linux...
Works for me on Linux using Chrome.
Re: muppets
What would you recommend AC? I have been using Avira Antivir Professional for Four Years and have never had a false-positive problem with their product. I seriously had to double take when I saw the article title.

Re: Android Porting
Which part of my posts mentioned WP7 today?
"I don't go around telling everyone that Android phones are shit, laggy, ugly and smell like donkey-fart on every Android phone article." -- That's because you would be wrong.

Re: Android Porting
Dogged, this applies to you : http://xkcd.com/386/
"Does your laptop have a low-power chip in it? Do you own any ARM-powered devices? I ask since low-power also means "reduced performance" and ARM is by definition considerably less powerful than x86/x64. Your statement is the equivalent of "I would never buy a DVD player to watch my DVDs on when a £3000 gaming rig can do that job and is more powerful"."
Stop trying to "interpret" my logic. There is no point in creating new analogies to explain my analogies, I'm sure readers of this site are capable of interpreting my analogies without your help. If it's simply the last word you want, step up.

Have you given the WP7 online demo a go (on your phone)?
http://aka.ms/wpdemo
Well, let's hope they ditch they service and stop trying to coerce all it's existing users to join it.

Re: Android Porting
"By your logic, it would be crap." -- Not necessarily, but, trying to keep old hardware running and choosing a new phone are different things. I am not going to buy an old 100Mhz computer, not even if it has a turbo button.
Re: "Extremist green campaigning group WWF"
"Extremist green campaigning group WWF". I only read this far too. Since when has the WWF been a group of Extremists? Are you thinking of Greenpeace? Or possibly the Da Lai Lama ?

"If you’re going to comment, make it an informed and objective comment and not just the usual knee jerk reaction to anyone slating your poor choices." -- Where's the fun in that?

Re: Android Porting
@dogged. We are not buying old phones, we want new phones with powerful stuff inside. I tend to fart in the general direction of any device that is underpowered regardless of the OS.
“But tablets don’t support Flash and we are seeing an increasing number of these." -- Sigh.
Re: So, texting makes you invisible?
"REALLY!! So no one goes anywhere unless it’s at 10MPH in case the fukwit paying ZERO ATTENTION to their surroundings decides to just STEP OUT WITHOUT WARNING!" -- Yes, you are supposed to anticipate hazards whilst driving, it's part of the theory test.
"Are you a woman driver perhaps?" -- Sexist arsehole! Are you a white van man?
Re: Oh look...
"You're using the same complaint again and again, despite having it explained to you..." -- Good design should need no explanation. There is no 'right' way to do things.
Re: Why?
Tell me something I don't know. Clearly the humour is lost on you.
Serco handle more than just IT, for example they help contain Asylum seekers and even collect your refuse in certain areas. I am sure if anyone knows how the economy is doing; it's the one making loads of money from it. Greedy <del>Little</del> Big Pigs.
Re: Extras?
I am always left wondering why anyone would want to watch the film + directors commentary, it's very much like watching a programme that has been dubbed into German but has left the original soundtrack intact but quieter than the dubbed soundtrack.
"IS TEALING RIGHT" -- No, it is a place in Angus. The Caps-lock key, however, is RIGHT below the TAB key F.Y.I.
The black bar that takes up a fifth of the screen space is pointless and makes the phone look silly!
I see were back to Artificial Technical Limitations again Microsoft. You don't learn do you? I'm sure you will all be hearing from the EU again.
Re: Why?
" Would it not be simpler to unplug the network cable from the access point and plug it into your computer?" -- What? and leave yourself with no internet connection?
Panic! Panic!
It must have been the part of me that is into tinfoil headgear that was glad to see the following statement :
"As long as you cover your windows up too, that is."
phew
The animated image looks more like the lighting angle has changed rather than the dunes shifting. I'm not saying the experts are wrong, but, that's what it looks like to me.
"offering free access to anyone prepared to share their contact details and download a coupon or two." -- So not free then.
Any mention of the Operating system the malware is targeting or is it just the usual suspect?
Re: I've Already Installed Tor...
I'm not sure why people keep going on about SSL, it is completely readable when you have intercepted the entire communication from it's initiation.
Get your hands out of my cookie jar.
Re: Twisting the knife
@cynic2
That blogger is talking out of his arse.
If they have a trademark, won't they need to call in the legal dogs in order for it to remain a trademark. I was under the impression that all trademark infringements must be defended against and if you fail to litigate against a trademark infringement; it may invalidate your trademark.
Re: will not be immune to cyber attack ...
Is your cat chipped?
Re: To be fair
My original point was really about how likely it was that a user would accidentally perform a three-fingered-salute rather than the effect of that command.
Re: Piss? Sounds like a load of shit!
"Very small amounts of the wrong kind of fluid can be catastrophic to electronics."
The best spillage event I ever dealt with was the Cola Keyboard. A young lady brought a laptop to me that she had spilled cola (lots of) into the keyboard area. I asked what she did next (turn off? etc) she said she carried on using it until the keyboard got to sticky and crunchy at which point she poured water into the keyboard to fix the crunchiness. Whilst pouring water into the keyboard solved the crunchy key dilemma it completely killed the laptop. Britain's brightest and all that!
Re: "The enemy of my enemy"
"All of that isn't possible with other phones as far as I know."
Androids have battery saving features.
You can prevent mobile data roaming.
You can have multiple email accounts in the email app, not to mention the dedicated gmail app.
Someone from the IOS camp would need to comment on the iPhones abilities in this department, but, I assume it will be similar if not the same.
Re: So what?
"There is no fundamental right to life, privacy, liberty, whatever." -- You will find some rights in the Declaration of Human Rights, such as the right to life, a family and free (as in freedom) travel.
Re: That upgrade over the weekend...
"You come back to work on Monday morning and your desktop has been upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04"
Ouch!
"Europe seals air passenger name-swap deal with US" and in the darkness, binds them.
