JMC

So when can I sign up to work for the Jupiter mining corp? Surely that is the better question

Beer cos no curry icon for Dave Lister

Surprised the tree does not tweet too once it is in range, or at least facebook friend the illegal loggers as it gets coverage.

itree has probably already been trademarked by those at Apple.

East island goings on?

Any New Zealand happenings you might care to mention? We on the east island have done some work this year...

Helicopter as I'm off to my tramping hut in Otago shortly

Location location location

I think you'll find the talks are going on in Dubai and not Doha.

V66

Ahhhh my V66 bought for its triband operations was my one and only Motorola purchase. I said never again would I lay out cold hard cash for a M product

I for one welcome to our "new" Register overloads on the west island.

Coat 'cause the weather has turned to custard here in Wellington.

There are caps in NZ on holding 2.1 GHz (for mobile use) spectrum which need to be met, hence Telstra (AU) keeping some of the 2.1GHz out of the deal. Next step will be who Telstra sells its stock of 2.1GHz to - 2 Degrees? As I'm sure there will be a restraint of trade against Telstra in New Zealand.

Er the next WRC is in 2015, so the study period is for a total of 3 years and not the usual 4 (or 1 as per the article)

Land of the long white (fluffy) cloud

Any mention of New Zealand? I see the west island gets a nod

Coat ´cause a northerly is about to batter Wellington

I really hope the next round of spectrum auctions on the West Island that ACMA run include said red pants. Would put the Australian ones on a whole different level to the rest of the world. Now I just have to come up with some witty remark that spans LTE, 4G and pants. 4G Strings anyone?

Taxi to the east island please

The Waltzing Dodo

Poor video

Dear El Reg,

please a) sort out the audio as the background noise is almost drowning out the man speaking and b) please get a tripod. Shakey video looks likes Amcam from the 90's

Thanks

your (dis)loyal readers on the other side of the ditch

As long as they keep their hands off my HFC cable and improve the terrible TelestraClear contact centre, I´ll be happy.

Pressure gauge

That pressure gauge looks grand. Maybe every SPB project in future should have that kind of smart kind involved. Now where is the Wallace and Grommet icon?

Thank goodness for someone here (NZ) wading in. It looked like we had become the 51st state and at the call of the Americans for a while.

Big brother ´cause this is not going away any time soon.

"One imagines the presentation will be rather well attended"

Should they make it to the presentation in the first place. I just just picture the men in unmarked cars removing the findings or having a quiet word in an ear or 2....

Hop to it

Well sounds like progress in some way shape and form. Maybe you could go and investigate the Auckland integrated ticketing system (or lack of) and the spanner in the works that is Snapper

Well done on the British boffinary mention!

Have to love the line "portly potentate of megaupload"

Reg based units?

Its all well and good being able to fill the Notre Dame in Paris, but more to point how many Olympic sized swimming pools or Bulgarian air bags does this blimp take up?

Paris - well Notre Dame was mentioned

His linked in profile states ¨I am currently very happily employed as a software engineer at Google, in the Kirkland, WA design center¨. I just wonder for how much longer however...

Coat ´cause Steve will be getting his soon enough

A transport challenge sponsored by Veolia? You must be joking. Maybe they could attempt to set a positive example and get the trains run in the first instance.

Black helicopters ´cause they are quicker than a Veolia run transport system...

Housing upgrades are a good start but

+1 for the heat pumps. Has been done on a large scale already with a Data center. I was terrible at thermodynamics but someone better sit down and work out how many servers you´ll need to warm the house otherwise its well a load of hot air!

What about the connectivity as well. Would anyone want a could held together by consumer grade DSL?

Fire well, its keeping you warm

Good work

Nice to see Pacific fiber take on the Southern Cross monoploy. The progress with REANZ last week as well is very good news. Now if only they could get on and build it tomorrow. Lets hope more customers come their way asap.

The 5th Element

How about the gun that Zorg offers to his contract killers, which has the repeat button and will always the hit the same location as the initial shot, no matter where you aim it?

HG for blowing things up...

Re: Heat Pumps

There is at least 1 new data centre in London already designed to provide heating and cooling to a property next door so your on to it.

That or you do an IBM and heat swimming pools or in Finland, they join data centers to the local district hot water system

Flames for heating....

Energy efficiency

Remember that energy efficiency is just as important as your GSHP or other source of heating. It's not glamourous or headline grabbing, but If you can reduce the demand in the first place, then you can install a smaller system and save some cash...
