Alcohol ban?

Is there really an 'alcohol ban' or is it it because the 'bar is quite high' and folks can't reach?

Road kill...

...plus a bit of foraging and you're into a profit deal.

Re: Wot no SGI?

'I especially liked the Indy, since the case split and opened along the main diagonal slice'

Did it? I never saw one that did...

Re: John Jay High

Whoa, looks like a prison, maybe there's a reason for the tags!

Anonymous...

This is where hacktavist groups could come into their own, step up and help protect vunerable people against this sort of exploitation.

Android?

So why the little android 50s into the video?

mamsey

Prior art?

I'm thinking that the BBC should maybe meet apple in court over the use of toroidal office space...

Personally...

I wouldn't be seen dead on a bike like that, not that I'm a bike snob.

I suppose it'll bring Apple owners into the real world with the rest of us.

What's new?

Our post has been delivered to random houses down our street for ages now, maybe at last we'll know it's only our direct neighbours who we need to visit.

N.B. sarcastic thumb.

Re: Beta! - How much does it cost now?

Actually, quite a lot... they've just changed their business model.

Quality?

How can you loose something if you didn't have it in the first place?

You're not a shill...

...round here you're just an Anonymous Coward.

Thumb Down

Not me

Even if I was sat alone in my living room I would still not talk to the TV, now a mind/thought interface would be a much better bet.

Me vs. Apple TellyTalky

Well attended courses?

"The average number of staff on each course was 851 for e-learning, against 81 for manual based and 104 for face-to-face."

104 people on a face-to-face course? Not really a course, more a lecture, I can't see anyone learning a lot in a class of 104 people...

Go Switzerland...

Might be a strange and quirky country, I know I lived there, but they do have some common sense and nice cheese.

Feel the burn...

... I spent a £100 on fireworks last week so this would appear to be the next step in burning up my hard earned cash.

mamsey

Why?

'Three political parties have joined forces to launch a proposed law (in Dutch)'

Why would the Belgians propose a law in Dutch?

I immediately thought of this video and how to amalgamate the 2 into some sort of useful something or other:

WD Passport failure...

Just had to return a 1TB WD Passport as it failed. I managed to get back the majority of the content on the but it fails all the WD tests (software included on the drive, luckily I'd backed that up).

It's interesting to note that the drive within the enclosure is directly wired to the usb hardware and is does not have a standard sata style drive.

mamsey

Well I like it...

If you ignore the price the one I have is a decent bit of kit, I bought a Tan coloured one when my missus bought me a Kindle for Xmas.

The light is good especially if your eyesight isn't quite as good as it used to be, and I find the fact that the light has the colour temperature of whitish LEDs rather than a tungsten bulb helps as well.

If you're feeling flush I'd say buy one.

Did

'Old Rosie' get a look in?

mamsey
WTF?

How many?

“The Department of Health faces a major reorganisation of its top structures that will result in fewer Director General posts."

So how many Directors General does the Department of Health actually need?

mamsey
Unhappy

A shame...

It's a great shame that these high street white goods shifters are going down the pan, as where else am I going to go to checkout these electronic goodies before buying online.

mamsey
WTF?

Patenetly, patent troll...

IMHO all patent trolls will be first against the wall...

mamsey

...it is useful if

you have more than one uncased Kindle around the house, if each Kindle has a different set of images you tend to know if it's belongs to you.

Because

we live in a country where the media and the public are tolerated by its government and can make comments such as yours to an article such a s this one without fear of government intervention, unlike the unlucky people of Libya.

Public Money...

As part owner of this 'Public Money', I'm quite happy for it to be given to Fujitsu on the condition that my property is one of the 5 million....

I'd love a pair...

but at that price and based on the number of pairs of goggle of lost over the years I think £45 quid is going to have to be the price point.

mamsey

not a problem

Lack of tinternet radio :(

This would be a definite buy if it had tinternet radio, as I need to replce my Philips dusk/dawn light, such a shame, it's not as if it is beyond Pures capabilities. Oh well maybe next Christmas.

That many computers?

'A Scottish botnet master was this morning jailed for 18 months and ordered to pay £5,000 costs for hijacking many thousands of computers from his mum's front room.'

I don't think his mother should have been allowed to have that many computers.
