Yeah I was a bit harsh on records there maybe as I actually quite like them myself as it is of course still cool to DJ with them and the fact that many records from way long before I was even born survive is both a technical achievement and again very cool!
They all have pros and cons, digital downloads sound pretty crap too if you don't back up and have a hard drive failure resulting in them "not existing" any-more!
What a load of old...
...poop.
I'm pretty bllody sure the internet was actually invented in the USA.
Most people cant tell between a CD and a 320kbps MP3 file.
Vinyl records have a habit of melting and sounding like crap.
Big band music is heard very often out in public and I beleive there is even a dedicated show on Radio 2 catering to it on friday nights.
There's nowt to stop the US hacking China and Russia.
Bloody idiots. The reason the music industry is "dead" is because it's actually been ripping off consumers and artists alike since it's inception. I give away a lot of music I write for free. Without the internet however, I'd probably not be making music as it was kind of a expensive thing to get into thanks to the so called industry acting like a bunch of selfish pricks in the past!
Oh and Fleetwood Mac sound like a bunch of fanbois! ;o)
Yeah but...
...a three day event of swimming and stand up comedy sponsored by Toilet Duck and Domestos wouldn't draw a crowd, would it!
Posted in NHS trust tags mentally ill offenders
Most kids...
Most kids who are murdered are killed by their own parents so by that logic, we should be handing out tags at the exit to the maternity ward.
All we need now
All we need now are the Amiga and Archimedes fanbois!
Makes it easier
Makes it easier to list **** goods from China!
Mines the *fake* one
Speaking of names
Speaking of names, I suggest that it is a good idea NOT to use your real name or your usual stage name if doing "independent" films of a certain nature.
It was probably a fanboi
It was probably a fanboi who complained to the ASA. He's got a good few days of forum bait out of this now - "PS3 is da best the Advertisingz standardz thingy even says so, so it must be true!"
Wii owners are apparently to busy dusting their wiis to be making complaints if internet gaming forums are to be believed!
Posted in Head App Store plod punts farts 'n' wiz
Urm
I quite like fart jokes but I don't actually need an app for them, the real thing is free.
It is messed up though that you cant have anything related to sex on the app store, but bodily emissions of a less romantic type are not only fine but probably encouraged!
Maybe they will allow tethering if it was possible to actually tether your arse to the iPhone.
Fanboi!
Every story on the Register mentions Apple these days... Oh hang on... that kind of dirty mac!
I think they do offer a special deal
I think they do offer a special money off deal actually - but you need to collect tokens in the local paper to qualify!*
*I might be wrong though

Legend Of Zelda Music eh?
Legend Of Zelda Music eh? Why that is my favourite music! For obvious reasons! I might have to see this film, hurry up and make it available to watch at home though, I hate the cinema, too many smelly people and no pause button!
Posted in 'PatentGate' allegations denied by Apple
Frankly I'm surprised
Frankly I'm surprised that the green/red fruits that grow on trees that contain pips are still known as apples! I would of though Steve would of tried suing orchards/god/plannet Earth by now for trademark infringement - they rip off his company's name and they even have the word "app" as the first three letters!
I wonder if Steve will also try to patent gravity seeing as it was discovered with an apple!
Mine's the one with infringing fruits sticking out the pocket!
Claim you prize from
Claim your prize from the university of East Anglia hahahaha!
Posted in ASA: You can't say 'f**k'
Duh
I actually meant the TOTAL all time up votes and down-votes covering all forum posts, not the current post, I just realised that I had forgot to say earlier and consequentially you might think i'm thick! Haha! Silly me!
Posted in Are plasma TVs killing radio?
I listen somtimes!
I love that weird thingy they do where they go on about "Dogging" and "German bite" and how its either falling or "Rising".
Not sure what it's for, I'm guessing its for either kinky people or sailors!

"I'm going to use this as another call to get a reason for rejection added if a comment is rejected"
"I'm going to use this as another call to get a reason for rejection added if a comment is rejected"
Oh please no, otherwise all my rejected ones will say "rejected due to commenter being a immature libellous knob who thinks he funny but is actually pathetic" or something along those lines i'm sure!
What I would like though, is the number of up-voted and down-voted for each users comments displayed along side their username in the forums. Then we will know who's winning! ;o)
Give me a H, give me a S give me a B...
Yeah, I'm sure its that one. They offer free security software and the previous article about this attack said something about the user password format which seems so similar to be identical. Though to be fair I don't know anything Barleys password format so I could be wrong. Probably aint though!
Oh and they also offer some weird software too that's meant to stop this sort of thing (ha) and I think they use it as an excuse not to compensate people ripped off who didn't download it (or use a mac or Linux so can't use it anyway even if they wanted.)
Woah
If I'm ever in my local branch of some soft furnishing emporium and some shifty fella comes in to buy curtains, I had better call the cops. They will raid his house, find the curtains and do him for processing terrorist materials!
f'king idiots!
I thought
I thought the only reason people had hotmail and yahoo accounts these days was so they could access msn (I refuse to call it windows live whatever-the-nuts it's called) and sign up for spammy forums and news sites?
I always giggle when I see a business that has a hotmail email address as its main contact email addy! Especially when they have a perfectly good website url they could use! Oh and I giggle harder when I see a hotmail address email actually painted on a van or a shop-front sign!
woah "hang" about...
woah "hang" about you forgot the other ball!
<---- Don't worry, here it is!
Well done!
Congrats on your "red hot tip"
I get all my...
I get all my lesbian stories from el Reg (and to be fair, I also get all my transvestites having sex with dogs in ditches stories from here to!) and all my wanky balls stories from the independent!
I wouldn't have it any other way I can tell you!
Paris, naturally!
Accidental paperless office
"Accidental paperless office"
Haha! What happened, did they leave the windows open on a windy day or was it a case of "Dog ate your benefit claim"!
Robin.Hood.Trojan.exe
Hehe, yeah a banking trojan that robs the rich to give to the poor! Only downside is that it checks you geolocation and only works if you live in Nottingham!
I bet someone now replies saying "well actually, Robin Hood was from Yorkshire"!
How about...
How about buying a Mac, but also buying a Microsoft Mouse! (That one made in the Chinese sweatshop that used under-age workers!)
Taboo I know, mixing the the Jobs and the M$! It's a bit like those brought-up council houses with the stone cladding and mock Tudor beams isn't it!
I can imagine...
I can imagine students hiring a crane and truck and nicking these for a laugh!
ewwwwwwwwwww!
Hey, Reg forum mod people, can we have new icon, one to represent being physically sick!?
Oh hang on, we have one already...
Posted in Solar storms, BlackPads and killer mice
Yay!
Yay one of my comments got picked! I win at internetz commentz!
wow thanks!
This sounds like the best film ever, I'm not being sarcastic, seriously, this is right up my street it sounds bloody hilarious! Thanks for telling us about it!
I cannot find it for sale on amazon though :o(
Thanks again!
Hang on a minuet....
...If my poo is such a valuable fuel, why am I flushing down the loo and giving it to the water company for free? Surely they should pay me for each turd (maybe 20p per turd knocked off my water bill) or failing that, should I be storing at home and making my own gas digester thingy in the back garden?
Yeah...
Yeah, if you're to thick to use a PC, use a Mac. Think DUHfferent
Calm down I'm only joking, bloody irate fanbois!
Posted in eBay car vendor flashes wedding tackle
"face pics"
I do hope some poor person on a dating site hasn't accidentally revived a pic of car instead of his face pic.
This should teach him not to store his "face pics" in the same folder as his eBay pics.
I don't know about lasers/lazers
ooh, I don't know about lasers/lazers and Segways - you've got the wrong Apple founding Steve there - it's the other one (the nice one) Woz who has the lasers!
Mines the one with the red light shining out from the top pocket/nipple area
Enjoy your iPad - you'll love it!
I was under the impression windows tablet computers had been available for donkeys. Yes I imagine they are probably crap but surely they are compatible with their current systems (It;s a council so its probably running something old like win 2000) and are cheaper than Jobsian roofing slates?
I think she is making up excuses. I don't believe her. I'm not saying she is lying or anything so her and her chums can get free iPads though. I wouldn't even dream of saying that actually. When she reads this, I hope she dose not think I am saying nasty things about her. Please don't think that when you read this.
Sony for calling you "she" a lot, it's just that I cant remember your name, it's not very memorable. If you worked for my local council though, I would make a point of remembering it! And probably writing to you, annoyed that my money was being pissed up the wall.
Enjoy your iPad after the "sucessful" trial period when you get one yourself, you'll love it! You can even play Plants vs Zombies on it during important meetings if you get bored!

"We'll have young people reading newspapers."
No you wont.
Why would I pay to read your crap when I can get for free and legally news about stuff I'm actually interested in. Oh and I don't need half a laptop to access it either, it's all available on any device with a browser.
I'll give you a year before that paywall comes down or the Times folds (Pun intended)
Paris because unlike the times, she's available everywhere and to everyone too! Not sure is she is free though!
Double Agent here
I go both ways, I use Windows but use a lot Open Source software on it. I even have Ubuntu too. I'm Bi-OS!
I'm thinking of even posibly trying a bit of the old Apple too! So I guess that means i'll be into threesomes if I do! Yeah, I'm a computer slut! But apparently apple stuff if the best and I will be a better person if I use their stuff!
Can we just agree that all computers and all software are shit?
Title thingy
Why, is that a new Apple website? :oD
Woz is funny!
I like Woz he's funny! Shame he isn't still at Apple keeping Jobs in check. Bet if he was though, those fart apps would come pre-installed knowing his jokiness!
Oh and what happens if I was to us the Apple patented high-fashion shopping gizmo to buy polo-necks?
Polo-necks - in your size: Yes
Polo-necks - will it match your jeans: Yes
Polo-necks - available colours: Black only!
Darn! I wanted a red one though! :o( Bloody Steve Jobs telling us what to do again!
Facepalm
If "Rim" wasn't a bad enough name as it is!
This is embarrassing frankly. LOLZ
Posted in NatWest dumps O2 Money
Having pots of money and a phone with no charge. Priceless!
"Having pots of money and a phone with no charge. Priceless!"
And for everything else, there's Mastercard! But not if you are a poor and have bad credit!
Posted in NatWest dumps O2 Money
No!
Mobiles - a luxury? Of course not! Even in most third world countries, a lot of people have a mobile these days. Here in the UK there are far more mobile phones than people.
Smart phones though I would call a "luxury" (in big ass air quotes though seeing as some people claim they are essentials!)
You are right that is nowt wrong with cash of course - except you can't buy stuff on-line with it. This is where prepay cards come in. Most I've heard about though seem to charge a lot to use them - which is nice isn't it - charging poor people to spend their own money! I think banks should be forced to offer a debit card with all basic bank accounts as the current situation just seems to be adding fuel to the "digital divide" thingy now that so much commerce happens on-line.
Save money with on-line shopping - but not if you are poor!
Anyway, there's my answer, I'm not writing it on a postcard though!
Hotness
Hotness? That will likely be a dodgy battery.
Posted in NatWest sets lawyers on student site
NatWest are a bunch of...
Oh no I better not say or they will get their scary lawyers on my ass!
Surely if they think they can sue this student site, they better also go and sue Compare the Bastards or whatever its called to then?
Maybe the person who owns the site could change their name to "Nat West" and then change that page to read:
"Hi, I'm Nat West and I'm a massive corporate c**t!"
Mobile Phone Components? Pesticides?
Mobile Phone Components? Pesticides?
Don't tell me Steve has started specifying pesticides for iPhone components! He's really lost it now! Is he worried about Judas phones attracting flies or something?
"I used to be a boy scout..."
"I used to be a boy scout so I know what an adder looks like."
Trouser snake maybe?
Oh but...
Imagine if the goventards brought in a law that said all video-streams watched via a network constituted live TV to get round yours and other loopholes. Sounds crazy I know but these people do do some crazy shit!
Can you imagining needing a TV licence to have a webcam chat with your Australian aunty or to watch Youtube or god forbid to use Chat Roulette!
Wouldn't surprise me if the idiots do come up with such a stupid law/regulations as a way of stopping people like us who probably only ever watch Top Gear on iPlayer "getting away with it". It's not a licence for a computer - oh no - its just a licence for using a computer really! So that Mr Cu, I mean Hunt cant be accused of breaking any promises can he!
