Australian bank to run trial with human teller in ATM

Is it just me?

...or does anyone else want the remote teller's cubicle to be done up to look like the inside of the ATM? That'd be sweet...

Hoopy as adjective?

...and there was me thinking it was a noun. As in "Hey, you sass that hoopy, Ford Prefect?"

I agree with Lord Zedd.

Thanks for taking the time to properly consider your own opinion, rather than simply spouting copycat quotes from other reviewers on launch day, most of whom probably knew their opinion before the thing was out of its box. That's one of the reasons I like you guys.

That was what he was saying, right?

Is it official now that JD Sports and Dixons are the places to go for your VAT rebate?

"Gettin our taxes back, innit" is a shit excuse, and I rather suspect the scrote in question knew this herself. She was stealing. She's a thief, not a freedom fighter. A criminal, not a crusader.

Sorry, but did I miss something?

So a regional court in Dusseldorf controls the whole European market now? Did I authorise this?

That "Community Design" seems to outlaw frozen pizzas as well. Also DVDs. And some picture frames.

Re: Re: As a father, I totally support him.

Sorry, when did it become illegal to express support for someone?

FWIW, I can certainly see Bannatyne's point of view as well; should I expect a visit from Plod?

I was going to point that out, then I thought that'd be just a little too nerdy, even for me.

Just a hint: try putting it in an opaque box. That ought to do the trick.

Chinese lecturer demands his students acquire iPads

BorkedAgain
Gimp

Yes indeed.

First Year at university, learning to code in an obscure implementation of an obscure language for which the only textbook was co-written by the guy at the front of the class. Mind you, he was a nice chap so I didn't begrudge him the £30-or-so the book cost.

(Like hell, £30 was serious money on a student income in 1990...)

Oh, and the snobbery thing works both ways. I generally look askance at a "techie" contact who rocks up in a shiny suit with iStuff in his bindle. In the same way that Stephen Fry is "a stupid person's idea of a clever person", iTech is a non-techie's idea of tech. Sort of thing.

Very good Peter.

Obviously this shouldn't be a shock to anyone on here, but the number of times some numpty gets those confused when trying to sell me internet access drives me potty.

Oops. Did I touch a nerve?

Actually, most of your guesses were wide of the mark; guilty on the kitchen gadget front; I own a blender and a slow cooker that come in handy from time to time but don't see use that often...

I do have a smartphone, but I make regular use of most of its functions, so I think that's fair.

Anyway. I still reckon £150 is a bit steep for a game + jumble combo. You're welcome to disagree...

£150 for a game?

Hacked Sun site greatly exaggerates Murdoch's death

Facepalm

You think?

I don't know if I'd be all that convinced that incriminating emails on a mail server had been planted by someone hacking a CMS (or whatever got hacked) probably located on different servers in a different datacentre, possibly on a different continent.

Mind you, I'm no judge. Who knows what they'll believe...

Actually, that'd be a bit of a coup wouldn't it? It might imply that the other networks were fundamentally less secure than EE's...

Unlikely, though. Just saying.
