Posted in The ten SEXIEST computers of ALL TIME
Where...
...is the Cobalt Qube 2? Easily way sexier than any slice of Apple you could offer.
This is good news...
For the guys that are lucky enough to attend such events in the future, freshly made sandwiches will now be available.
Re: Document your tricksy shit?
"That said, commenting never hurts and yes, it will perhaps prevent the same mistake."
As some wise person once said, "Real programmers don't comment their code. It was hard to write, it should be hard to understand."
;)
Re: Reinventing wheel
"The only real reason for reinventing the wheel is to rip people off.
Skype is only not allowed because it would allow you to phone abroad without getting hit by colossal fees."
Well said!
Also, as someone who travels extensively, why would I use my mobile abroad, when I can use Skype for free or at a greatly reduced cost when calling landlines/other mobiles?
We wouldn't need yet another messaging service if mobile operators stopped fleecing us for roaming. Surely the actual costs involved can't be anywhere near what we are charged?
Touch friendly?
Meh. Wouldn't touch it with a feckin' barge pole.
WTF?
Is an unencrypted Wi-Fi network?
That's most odd...
...I thought all Bittorrent activity was illegal?
"Dear @Patient3312 don't forget your enema is today lol"
Coffee -> Monitor.
So...
...I'm expected to go to this site and enter my email address? I think not. ;)
Which...
...is why I use Clamwin - the most unobtrusive AV I have ever used.
Typical NuLabour Nonsense???
Did you type that out of habit?
Posted in Treasury turns to Facebook for cut plans
Well...
... how bad could it be? Facebook (l)users running the country instead of the government, and I use the term 'government' loosely, bit of a misnomer if you ask me. Look on the bright side, we would have some of the best maintained farms in the world.
Posted in Skewing statistics: Booze, money and sex
What gets me...
...is the continual whinging about what a burden the drinkers and smokers are on the health service - it's us that are f*cking paying for it!

Posted in Sure Signal not so sure
Not just the last few days...
The service has been diabolical for the last few weeks.
I got my unit way back last July and it was the best 160 quid I'd ever spent. Going from a signal-less area to having a full signal throughout the house was fantastic, I no longer had to stand with my phone pressed against the window to make a call.
Since Vodafone's evidently successful advertising campaign, they have obviously been struggling with their infrastructure - yet another case of a communications company over-selling their available resources.
I hope the issues are resolved soon as when it works it is an excellent service.
Just wondering...
...if all physicists are complete wankers with no lives?
Eh?
At lunchtime today, the Tories promised the UK would be "the first country in Europe to extend superfast 100 mbps broadband across most of the population".
<cough>bull<cough>shit<cough>
As I previously thought, politicians are all liars. Nothing to see here, move along...
El! Reg!
The! whole! exclamation! mark! thing! is! getting! very! old! now!
Eh?
"Facebook's re-written PHP to transform the dynamic language for fast performance"
You could have fooled me! Actually, being a Facebook user, you probably could have ;-)
Posted in Steve Wozniak, your time is up
Is Rik Myslewski...
...a fat bastard? That's the only reason I can possibly think he would make so many references to Woz's weight. The twat doth protest too much... Crawl back in your hole, dickhead, Wozza has done more than you ever will!
Posted in Oz firm seeks talented IT developer
Note to self...
...must buy more monitor screen wipes!
Posted in France floats Google music-and-movie tax
What?
"a report commissioned by the country's culture ministry has recommended."
France? Culture?
Posted in O2 grovels for London network failure
Sounds like...
...every mobile network or broadband provider in this country. They don't have the resources, but they'll provide you with a service anyway. I can't wait for the BT Broadband style caps on the mobile network - 'If you keep making calls, we'll disconnect you'!
This is why...
...I still use VB6.
Posted in Loud sex woman coughs to ASBO breach
Have you seen the state of it..?
How, for the love of God, does he even get it up?
Yikes!
Posted in Windows 7 - the Reg reader verdict
So what you are all basically saying is...
...it sucks.
I'll stick with BSD, thanks.
Now where the f*ck did I put my flame-proof coat?
It's an old joke, but...
"If you are fooled by such a site you should report it to www.consumerdirect.gov.uk/"
No, if you are fooled by such a site, then package up your computer and send it back to wherever you bought it. If they ask why you are sending it back, tell them you are too fucking stupid to own a computer!
