Re: "I cringe a bit when I think about how many CPU cycles are being used for this sort of stuff

Just think of the power being used to generate increasingly worthless crypto coins

Re: All the King's horses ...

Isn't this the same case where the claimant had heightened security on their account, which AT&T employee's just ignored and allowed the scam to progress.

Re: highly skilled hacker

Not skilled enough to keep out of prison though.

Re: take the job

Please stay so we can sack you tomorrow.

How about no??

Re: Take your pick as these were ashes

The death certificate was obtained in Moldova, using a human corpse dressed in the mans clothes and carrying his identity documents.

That corpse was then cremated, the ashes and death certificate brought back to the USA.

Re: As a resident of NL

Given the crap you do share perhaps it's best you don't offer the rest.

Re: The silver lining

Does this man own a private island and an army of goons??

He should probably be stopped.

It's clear Ecuador is getting a little more than pissed off

It's another step in convincing him to finally leave.

He was only going to be welcome for as long as he could curry favour with the Ecuadorian political establishment.

The winds are starting to change and they don't want him sat on their Sofa much longer.

Re: Payment upon revrec is common

True, but if the client completes the deal the company owes the salesman his commission, whether he still works for them is immaterial.

Re: Conspiracy theory?

If I remember rightly the N8 came out a little while after the memo hit the news and what surprised most people is that it was a really decent phone, this raised the obvious question as why so thoroughly burn the platform when it was still producing quality products.

Granted it's time was up, but a quiet, managed wind-down would have worked much better.

As it was all the bad press hurt sales of the remaining Symbian phones while the WP7 devices were still hung up in development.

Re: What could possibly go wrong?

Swap Coffee for Beer and this could work wonders at a large music festival.

No need to stand at the bar, just have the drone fly across the crowd and bring your (viciously over-priced) lager right to you.

Re: Berxit Or Not

Isn't it abit hard to implement a new system when the idiots in charge can't even agree how we intend to actually leave the EU.

Re: Something is wrong.

Maybe if they hadn't wasted Billions chasing football rights their bottom line might look better?

Re: Superfast

Surely by it's definition Superfast would refer to the top 10 or so percent of available speeds for domestic users.

VM have been offering 300Mbps for ages, at ten times slower you can't really still call 30Mbps "superfast".

A fool and his money???

Something........Something.........Something......Blockchain??

and the price

The latest tech has never been cheap, but the most recent batch of I-things took people's breath away.

Clearly if the latest phone is over a grand most people are holding onto their current one for longer because they aren't willing to pay that kind of money.

The same things happens on ticket websites when a popular event is launched.

Some companies just do not care.

"Yeah, the hatch hit her head so hard it clean ripped her head off the rest of her body."

and then (probably) sexually molested what was left.

because it's unlikely the poor woman died due to bad maintenance of the vessel.

Re: Why am I imagining Clarkson and Co with their 'electric car'?

and still it won't be as stupid as Paris Hilton's cryptocurrancy ICO

Fire up the VPN

We're going abroad

It's only news because it's actually costing eBay money and not the poor users.

Re: Get it right

" Get It Right From A Genuine Site portal. This encompasses a useful "Find Any Film" search engine."

First attempt at using it and it's total rubbish.

Re: all that post-Brexit investment

Can't wait for the £350m a week to hit the NHS, we've all been sitting around planning what we're going to be spending it on!

Re: Obvious omission...

He's up for a lifetime achievement award surely??

"Unlimited" doesn't mean "infinite"

unlimited - not limited or restricted in terms of number, quantity, or extent.

Clearly unlimited does not mean infinite, but it does mean "without limit or restriction"

Re: Precious

Yes the news here isn't that Facebook defends it's users privacy.

It's the insurance company weren't going to give Facebook a piece of the action.

Slam it as soon as it appears?

It's stolen data thrown up online by some faceless hacker, there are few less reliable sources of information, it should be easy to discredit it solely due to it's source.

Re: "Talk about toothless watchdogs"

Did someone mention the Advertising Standards Authority ?????

Re: Is this really an option in Indonesia?

"Can we take a look at your books?"

"Come back with a court order."

"OK, here it is."

"Oh. Erm, thats just a gun?"

"yes, it most certainly is"

"now about these books........................"

Re: funding

Funding for research in this country has been pretty poor for ages, more cuts are really nothing new.

The shear amount of money that came from Europe instead of our own government shows how little was being put in by Downing Street.

Now had they been mates from Eton working in Canary Wharf........................

I'd laugh if the grounds team suggested the AuroraWatch guys double checked their data for concordance before making a public announcement.

Re: Is anyone really surprised

Slightly surprised it took this long to hit the skids, mind you they've been quite busy ruining their own network recently.

Re: Perhaps I've missed something here

Game accounts are selling online, some for quite significant amounts of money.

Isn't there more interest from the regulator side?

Even if the engines don't breach regulations, they still lied and under-stated emissions levels.

"something in the official statements does not compute"

Maybe because it's all total bullcrap from a public body desperately trying to cover-up it's failings???

Re: Quelle surprise

because a company that advertises in phone boxes and grimey shop doorways is definitely going to be 100% legit.
