Voda

Ive got a Vod Sure Signal.

Its crap.

Takes about 2 days if powered cycled to sync up and be ready, and then whilst sat there my phone will switch between the sure signal and teh mobile network going from full signal to hardly any signal.

Crap.

Re: Bitcoin

but then surely theres an "audit trail" from the point you put your CC details in to buy the Bitcoins ?

Or am I missing the point ? (which is more than possible!)

Sounds a little gay to me.

Sir Adam-All
WTF?

Bitcoin

And now, the Register is suddenly full of International Law experts, experts of both foreign and domestic affairs, and by all accounts people who know everything there is to know about some guy who runs a website publishing other peoples crap

anyway, on with the IT.

Sir Adam-All

BTO Modem

Mine ran warm and connx dropped out.

I mounted it on the wall using the 2 keyhole screw holes on the back. worked fine after that.

Kelly (the company not the guy) came round before crimbo and replaced it. I asked him why they were replacing it, and he told me its to make it work faster !!

Sir Adam-All

Sir Adam-All

everyone's an expert ....

I presume all of you lot are fully qualified carrier-trained telephony network engineers ?

Sir Adam-All

Sigh ...

No, im not up to "no good".

As i've said, if your NOT up to no good, wheres the issue.

Sir Adam-All
WTF?

why not ?

And why shouldn't people have to give their details to get a pre-paid phone ?

Surely the operators at least would want to know WHO is using THEIR network.

This whole debate about anonymity astounds me.

If you aint up to no good - whats the issue ?

Sir Adam-All

£2000 a day ??

jesus, i need to move to Hays...

Sir Adam-All
Megaphone

what a load of nonsense

its clear for anyone with a brain to see that Windows isn't going anywhere any time soon. I like Windows, its easy to manage (IMHO) (and I look after around 4000 users of all differing abilities). I like Linux too, but at the end of the day, I am a technical person. My dad has trouble finding the power button on his PC, never mind giving him an unfamiliar OS, with unfamiliar software to use. At the end of the day, its simple, Windows is familiar. Until people either take a leap and use something else, of Microsoft stop making Windows and associated software familiar, people will and will keep on using it.

To infinity and beyond ...

I have BT Infinity (FTTC), and i have to say its very very good.

I get around 37Mbit/s pretty much consistently.

I'd highly recommend it to anyone if its available in your area. Much better than standard ADSL and also doesn't come with VM's nasty STM.

LOL

Thats just megga !

epic ...

wasnt there a Superman film where they stole lots of pennies, and they all added up to a nice sizeable swag ? ;)

Sir Adam-All
WTF?

I don't get it...

Why shouldn't Google favour its own services ?

if you don't want to see it, don't use Google.

I don't see what the issue is. when you shop in Tesco, they don't show adverts for Asda do they.

CHOICE is the name of the game.

I love Google. They give me free email, free storage, free maps, free searches etc etc

Sir Adam-All

oh no...

Cue lost USB sticks, posted CD's, poorly thought out data exports...

Sir Adam-All
Coat

why did the owner say "oh yeah it was -12 and it stopped working" rather than "its knackered please fix"

Sir Adam-All

erm

English empire ????

Should that not read BRITISH empire ?!

Sir Adam-All

everyone's an expert

Seems to me like it's fair game.

As far as I can see, wikileaks leaks shit to the world, and now that world has turned on it's head and Assange and his mega-corp-wanna-be is being served some of their own medicine.

I can hardly see a day when he is going to be sat in court facing charges of rape, more so of harming the public interest with the materials leaked to the masses.

Let's just sit back and see what money can buy, or should I say WHO money can buy.

Paris Hilton

erm..

I dont get it.

all you knobs out there moaning about Google's done this, Google's done that, oh i dont want my front garden on streetview, and now i have to use my mobile number for a free email account.

Its easy... DONT USE FUCKING GOOGLE

no one is forcing you to, there no compelling reason. there are literally thousands of email providers, or as one of you said, run your oen if your porn filled, viagra advertising, daily horoscope emails are that precious and private to YOU.

Get on with life - people are dying in the world.

Me, I love Google. Its great. Its fast, and they give it me for free.

Paris, cos she knows a good thing when shes got it.

Get a life.
