Re: Smart sockets?

I'm sure they have thought it through thoroughly! It doesn't have to actually work, just has to appeal to the average PHB's desire for absolute control at any cost.

@AC Serewth!

You colonised the place. You live with it in your news!

And when milk fails to start flowing

the baby starts to bite. This can be amusing or diseressing depending on if teething has begun.

the sweet sound of music - real music!

We need a new 404

We need a knew 4xx internet error code: "This region's Government is broken, please try again after next election."

Of course, since it is happening in your own mind,

you can change it to "The two questioning officers, one cup."

I'd go with the second.

Politics in general and US politics in particular is all smoke and enemas.

Rubber dongs with suction caps on the base have been available since before I was old enough to know about such things (and I ain't no sping chicken). So us girls have had the ability to make a device like this* since before tablets existed.

Nice to see the guys finally catching up! :-P

*no, I haven't. But I reserve the right!

You can still get lego kits

that are explicitly made with heaps of generic blocks to make dozens of different things from instructions (and infinitum from your mind). I agree, these are the best kits, though mixing in a few carefully selected specialised kits is good too. I don't keep the origional instructions - it all goes into a big plastic box for when my nieces and nephews come to visit.

The command line is dea....

Oh, nevermind.

I have been periodically deleting crap and decontextualised posts

from my account since the days when you had to walk up hill both ways through the snow to do it.

I guess I will have to activate TL to see what it thinks I missed some time soon though. Sheesh it has been so long since I logged in to FB that they have given up sending me emails about all the people that miss me!

I keep looking at this 'life' I am supposed to be getting.

I just don't see what is so great about being like everyone else.

(Admitadly, I go to some trouble not to let my hobbies bankrupt me or financially disadvantage others, which isn't the case here, but that is more about getting a brain than getting a life.)

Next they will want us to spell everything with a 'Zee'!

Re: intelligence level of the Reg readership

We all got hold of some of that e-coli and one small enema later are guarenteed high-blood alcohol for the rest of our lives!

Peril-sensitive windscreens.

Because the last thing you need when driving is the stress of seeing danger.

Apparenely,

they eat lead.

(And uranium).

Well, then the survey is at least showing the MS-Sales-rep FUD-machine is slipping.

we had none of these fast fourier transform nonsenses.

We transformed our fouriers uphill through the snow both ways!
