Because...
...IT companies are, by and large, run by business people not techies.
Biofuels are an excellent idea...
...it's the implementation, legislation and bu'euro'cratic bullshit that government injects into good ideas which is the bad idea.
Re: Surely Not Invisible ... to mesh radar
If it's Fordward wuoldn't that be Model Tx, the Type Rx being invented much later by subsidiary Mazda?
Hmm...
...is there anything a Chromebook WILL do that an Asus X401A won't? There's pretty much everything that a Chromebook will do in the Asus and a lot more that a Chromebook won't, apart from cost you £20 less in the UK natch.
Re: That's the best the medium quality imager can muster?
It was ahead of its time...
Heavy clouds...
...usually precede rainfall. Anyone else tempted to move their data to someone elses servers and services today?
Market news...
...is to tech news what standing at Speakers Corner in a clown suit shouting "WAH DRIBBLE DRIBBLE WAH!" through a megaphone is to polite dinner conversation. #justsaying
I'm only amazed...
...it took them this long to work that particular angle out.
Err...
Hasn't that been done already? IIRC correctly it was free too! (*conditions may apply)

Re: Wikipedia is a byword for an unreliable source of information
Try Ten Word Wiki ( http://www.tenwordwiki.com) instead, it's still inaccurate but gets to the point a lot quicker and includes a measure of humour, usually.
Re: dot DOG?
GOD.DOG - perfect website for a really good mirror manufacturer? I'll bet there's more...
I bet a good number of the 20K have antivirus installed and a firewall, other than the one on their router, running in the background.
"The most important part of a car is the nut behind the wheel!" analogy fits very well in this instance!

Re: Nice to know
I read it more as a warning against password reuse & repetition than as a result of a direct attack on your own network. Granted, if someone has access to stored hashes on your network you have a problem larger than their ability to decrypt said hashes, more to the point, why would they even bother looking at them if you're the actual target of the attack? However, if one of your users has their work email and their work password as the login for that specialist Russian film archive they're fond of...
I wonder...
...how long it takes for it to break a non-dictionary based alphanumeric password hashed with SHA-512 and salt? That would be useful information.

It's got a lot of memory...
264GB according to the article.
This list is broken, no mention of Orac or the ships computer from Star Trek.
Re: Good old Church
Down with this sort of thing!
"...lasted 40 minutes."
I can almost hear it...
"Hey do you think we should take some pictures of this thing?"
"Nah... we're scientists, they're bound to believe us! Just have another toke on this, it helps with anoxia apparently"
Well done!
Top marks to the uthor for getting 'penetrated' and 'pulled off'(line) within the first 30 words of an article to do with malware and security services.
Security...
...by obscurity anyone? 10p a bag, get it while it's hot!
"pose an unacceptable risk to the ability of the UK to safeguard national security" and "disclosure of this could be used to avoid detection".
Re: @ Comments are attributed to your handle....
Textual Rick Rolling, wish I'd thought of that, I read almost to the chorus before I realised what it was - I doff my cap to you sir!
Re: Where Did He Go?
...or to commit the sin of Onan perhaps? It's ok... he'll get absolution before he handles foodstuffs or communion.
Re: Re: Re: Why no mention
quote :"If I could "like it" twice I would. Thank you. :')"
I liked it twice by liking your like of it.
It's a bit...
...St. Ivel Gold isn't it? With a bit of Lurpack lurve for the colour scheme perhaps?
Will the tag line be:
"I can't believe it's not Windows!"
"Guess which group get all the problems?"
...the ones with admin/root access? :D
Advised?
"Drone units were advised to stop using the removable drives to prevent another outbreak."
There's something which makes me uneasy about use of the word "advised" in context with military hardware that I can't quite put my finger on. Perhaps if it were changed to "ordered", it would make me feel less uneasy...
Ahh... but I have prior art, albeit made from wicker. However, it does have real hair!
I wonder...
...which newspaper will be first to crack his account?
Was that just after Group4 became Group3?
Complexity of Android? WTF!
My 65 year old mother in law managed quite well with her HTC Wildfire, but she's a rubbish driver! Anyone who thinks Android is 'complex' should be immediately barred from getting behind the wheel of a car !
Would this be to cover for the SMS of Doom affecting Winpho 7 phones story published by El Reg earlier by any chance?
Thus far it's looking a lot like the only option for a trouble free phone is BT... has it really come to this?
Pint icon? Meh... what's the use.
+10 points to the writer for getting "yanked off" into the first line!
Today's headlines...
...it's a slow news day across the globe today...
Here come pieces of...
...my God!
A good job HDD prices are already sky high then...
So supermarkets know what you (think French vous, not tu) bought and, soon, where you went to buy the stuff they don't stock (yet - but will soon just as quickly as they can drive the price down with their buying power so it's unprofitable for the place you used to buy it to stock it any longer).
I suspect it would likely benefit Tesco/Asda/Morrison/Sainsbury far more than it will benefit the smaller traders... once again we, the consumer, are product not customer.
It's wrong to exploit any animal, unless it's a bird... apparently.
Oh I dunno...
...remove the word patent from Cerf's last comment and it would be almost perfect!
Thick as a brick?
When your iPhone requires a new battery you do not buy a new battery you buy a new phone.
How much is a battery from HTC for a Desire S / Samsung for a Galaxy S2 ? How much is an iPhone 4 from Apple or even, secondhand, from evilbay?
You're kidding me?
3,000 users affected? That storm is so small that it can't even be seen in the teacup! The fix is laughably easy too, seriously anyone who thinks this was deliberate needs to take a reality check... preferably to the face and very hard.
So in units of alcohol thats...
...somewhere in the region of 42,000 in a lifetime, shall we say? If someone lives until they're 70 and starts at 14 then that's only an average of 2 units a day... did they forget to include Christmas in their study then? Oh... and Scotland.
Pint icon - no need to qualify that really is there?
Nice...
...thanks for that ;)
$2 per GB?
I've a rather luxurious 4TB, of which almost 50% is in use. Granted very little of thats database, but even so, $8k (USD always seems to equal GBP for hard and software for some reason any way) to 'upgrade' compared with $130 to replace, those performance dividends had better show up long before that flash RAM hits it's lifecycle read/write limit or the beancounters will be calling open season on CIO scalp regardless of the performance advantages.
Advantages Dior small businesses/home users? Not seeing any tbh.
Dammit!
All those Veneziana's I ate at Pizza Express... I should sue!
Still... better safe than...
Sony... err... or sorry.
