never mind all that....
Whose are the norks in the accompanying mini-pic ?
More piccies
and here are some more pics of it's chameleon abilities in action...
Doomed i tell ye...
I've been involved with digital X-Rays ( PACS ) for an NHS trust for 5 or 6 years. Yes, they
are now available for all to view at a moments notice, and are a huge improvement over film.
BUT... contrary to all guidelines and policies (and laws) they are emailed, stuck on flash sticks,
smartphones etc etc (with the best of intentions) and are generally treated like non-sensitive
information.
More data (i.e. whole patient records) = more non-malicious abuse, leading to multiple
massive FAILs down the line.
Oo-er !
"Twitter used to pay Google to insert tweets into their index" Please !! not before the watershed.
Sift out the important stuff...
"to let Fred, John and Harry know there is a piss-up on Friday night after work"
Where and what time?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha.....etc......
I haven't got a smartphone.
Very seasonal I thought.
"Oh no they didn't !!!"
Usual smuggling route?
Surely using "the usual smuggling route" is just asking for brown-outs ?
Surely not...
"Sarehole Mill, a museum in Birmingham"
Oh *please* tell me thats a typo.
Old School
Doesn't anyone use "software time-bombs" any more?
No it won't
The bulb can be as springy as you like - it has to produce a lower pressure to work.
You cannot have a lower pressure than "no pressure at all".
So the bulb will spring in and out - it just won't pull any liquid up.
In space, not everything works
This one zaps my brain when I think about it ....
A teat pipette (eye-dropper) will not work in a vacuum.
If you have something that is liquid in a total vacuum you can not use a
teat pipette to suck it up because the 'suck' part (the rubber bulb) relies on
creating lower pressure in the bulb.
But you can't have lower pressure than total vacuum. So it won't work !

What are the slang terms?
You know - like "Spanking the Monkey" & "Choking the Chicken"
How about: "Flippin' the kipper" ?
Consultation my ****** ****
As with all government consultations, they already know precisely
what they are going to do and will do it regardless.
I tried to read the documents, but I lost the will to live after about 5 pages of <puke>.
Possibly a cure for insomnia though?
A bit of both, probably.
Morality aside.....
Tax EVASION is illegal. Tax AVOIDANCE is not.
Most big corporates walk a very fine line between the two.
Someone once dubbed this AVOISION.
A quick trip over there then?
Its only 189214609451616 miles away after all.
I wonder...
..how long before botnet toolkit 'providers' have their own 'Patch Tuesday'
..or maybe they already have.
OMG !
".....to sue the fucking police....."
Please tell me they're not policing *that* now too !!
A green alternative would be...
... to scan & upload all the Korans to the web.
...then burn the internet.
I want one !
"Small tunnelling robotic mole-cruiser"
Sounds like a really cool thing to have.
Totally promiscuous.
Not just local authorities - they'll dish your data out to any old Joe who can fudge up a case of
"reasonable cause".
(From the DVLA website:)
Data Protection and the Road Vehicles Regulations
Regulation 27 of the Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) Regulations 2002 provides for the release of information from DVLA’s vehicles register to the police and also to local authorities. The regulation allows us to release data to private or public sector organisations providing they can demonstrate ‘reasonable cause’ to have it and the Data Protection Act does not operate to prevent disclosure of the data where this is done consistently with the data protection principles.
Ah...The Sanity Clause.

All aboard !

Put a mirror on the floor and assume the missionary

Umm.....

Ah..But will it fly?
Oh No !!! - not the hypobaric chamber ! - There'll be mini black holes
and stuff and it will be the end of the world! ...... Oh .. er.. no... hang
on a minute - that's the LHC isn't it?

As you were.
Almost surreal
Such a sublime understatement it's almost surreal:
(referring to C & Unix)
"Both have subsequently become quite popular."
Like saying a nuke makes a bit of a bang.
Say no more ! nudge, nudge.
The DM article says "taken in cabins, the cockpit and even on the top of a jet turbine"
Say no more !! nudge, nudge.
Where is the line?
#1 - One-man band contractor, minimum wage, long term contracts, etc.
#2 - As above, but employs one other contractor doing similar contracts.
#3 - Same again, but with 2 employees.
....
....
#98 - The likes of EDS, Capita etc.
Where does it become OK to avoid tax in this way ?
Funny, isn't it...
...how politicians promise all sorts of good things in the run up to an election.
I may be a tad cynical, but I no longer believe a single sound made by
anyone 'political'.
"THE" Google
"Has the google never heard of the UK?"
"THE Google" - similar to "THE Borg" ?
I *like* it

Thanks seanj - you made my day!
There I am wading through lengthy posts on the intricacies of file sharing, the law, DRM, etc
when suddenly:
"Bono is a great big floppy donkey dick."
.........The bill for keyboard cleaning is in the mail.
Simples !
Should have installed a Sri-mech (a la Robot Wars).
A quick kick of the flipper - sorted.
Sauce for the goose...
I'm sure we're all a bit curious now so why can't we all have a gander?
(Did you see what I did there? ..... Goose.....Gander ? - I'm way too good for this place!)
It Depends....
" The question of what is the maximum acceptable distance for a goat to travel for a "five-minute trick" remains provocatively unanswered. "
It depends entirely on the quality & cleanliness of the destination red-light district lady-goats.
Posted in Can anyone explain the chunnel fiasco?
It now transpires....
...that it was all due to the wrong type of snow.
Too fluffy, apparently.
- You couldn't make it up.
I know its already been said but......
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

and....
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
Ha !
I LUV IT !!!
Dr. Evil would be disgusted.
Everybody knows the word "L A - S E R" should be in finger quotes.

What if they threw a Windows Launch Party

Hands up who's surprised ?
Just another splattered bug on the windshield of the M$ juggernaut.

All taken care of.

It's Roswell all over again
Radar Station: - "We've tracked a UFO, General. It seems to have crashed near Cressex."
General: - "Roll out a cover story that it's a weather balloon and that it was *meant* to burst."
Radar Station: - "We *can't* do that again! - People got very suspicious when it was tried at
Roswell back in '49. Also, what about the alien body?"
General: - "Hmm.... I know! - Tell them it's a lump of CHEESE !!"
Poor choice...
They should never have used a Somerset Farmhouse Cheddar.
A Double Gloucester or even a mature Stilton would have been far less likely to go missing.
And which wine did they send up to accompany it ?
AMATEURS ! - I'm at a loss for words.
......Paris, For the Cheese Angle !
Think it through
If you're going to do it, it is likely you are going to get caught eventually somehow.
So surely a mad rampage through the server room wildly swinging a fire-axe would
be far more tangible and satisfying revenge.
Plus it has the added advantage of getting all the legal stuff out of the way early on.
(The smiley has it's tongue-in-cheek, Trust me.)
OK EU - You got us.
We will give user the option to have any of the top 5 browsers that they want.
