Even easier - just white-list all the real TLDs

Re: But

MPAA hired thugs Vs Central-South-American sea-pirates.

I'd certainly pay full rights to see that!

Little girls and willies

I had it all worked out by that age: Boys had willies and girls didn't so the doctors at the hospital could tell if a new-born was a boy or a girl - babies being born without clothes or significant hair and all.

Re: "rely on the many quality solutions on the market"

I assume you meant VLC, unless you really do watch DVDs by remote from another machine!

Re: disapating 10kW of heat

That's what boils the water for your coffee.

Re: Great!

All I have is an old electric keyboard.

It's worse than that, Jim!

Don't introduce a layer of bloat which gives code-monkeys another excuse to do sloppy coding.

Re: er ....

I imagine I was first kissed in a hospital, but I will have to check that with my mum.

But open-source software is communist!

Can't have any of that going on in new-economy China!

Re: "two planets, one closer to the star and one more distant."

I assume what was meant was 'one closer and one further relative to the commetary cloud'

As much as Woz is my all-time favorite human being,

he does need to lay off the apple-aide a bit.

Re: In a nutshell....

It can be argued that the DRM increases the incidence of piracy as otherwise-IP-respectful citizens are forced to choose between 'unofficial' DRM-free content and no content at all.

Re: "Theresa May, writing in The Sun"

"The quote doesn't mention whether they were guilty" so it is safe to say most weren't. They would be bragging convictions if they had got any reasonable number.

Was this the region...

...that a dozen-odd years ago had its council forcibly replaced by an auditor, and when the next election came around, everyone complained they wanted to keep the auditor because it was the first real local govenance they had experienced in decades? (It was one of the councils up that way, IIRC.)

Re: Royal Mail please note

A better approach would be: You recieve a letter with the locker number and access code for your parcel. Once your parcel is removed, the access code for the locker changes, and the locker goes back into a common pool. Then lockers are only used when there are actual parcels in them and different-sized lockers can be allocated according to needs.

Re: For Frank-Ly

That reminds me of back in the 80's when there was an Apple][ somewhat-compatible called the 'Cat Computer' being advertised with the slogan "My Cat eats Apples".

Re: They want me to betray my friends?

"If they are deliberately selecting for employment the kind of people who would betray their friends like that then" ...

you are being interviewed for a middle-management position.

Re: StalkerVille

Facebook started offering as a friend a largely empty account. It had no friends in common (or friends at all) or a photo, but did have my ex's name. I assume it decided this account was spending so much time looking at my page that it must be a 'friend'. Hope he enjoyed my rather bland wasteland of a FB page.

I won't be getting another smart fridge.

My last one killed itself. It left a note. Sait it was tired of feeling so empty inside.
