What could possibly go wrong

Burglar 1: I'm monitoring the whole street, number 11 power just went right down.

Burglar 2: Ok I'll pop round the back ........

Faraday cage

Sticking some wire mesh around the place is not eonough.

Look up "Tempest"

Joke speeds

Welcome to South Lincolnshire, where we are lucky to get the dizzy heights of 1 Mbps

While you're banning words in adverts ....

NEW

Aha !!!

So if I download a Cliff Richard track, strip out the metadata with mp3tag, then upload it, the govt can grab it as an orphan work and all copyright is lost.

Poetic.

Why

Why in fucks name should I want to email Mark Zuckerberg ?

I already know more than he'll ever learn, IT-wise, life-wise, management-wise, etc etc etc.

I'm over 60 so I'm not kidding, he should learn from me.

Downvoters: think first for once eh chaps

"Hang on, I thought we were first?"

I think that's what basically happened in '69 but we haven't been told yet

Ha !

Too complicated - go back to Imperial

Ah, I see

Instead of the drum revolving, the drum stays still and the whole machine revolves. You can only do this in space. Safely. The "payload" is 5 kgs of Kim Jong-Un's dirty socks, which should be fairly clean by now. If somebody remembered to put the powder in. It must be up to the spin cycle by now, so expect to see it increase the speed of the revolutions. This is what they meant by "People's Glorious Revolution". In Space no-one can hear you clean. Thanks God it's friday. It's only tuesday, Crap.

Plan to fail

Of course it will be a failure - then Microsoft can (a) slash the price of these and "legitimately" gain market share because they are so cheap and (b) introduce the Surface 2 in about, oh, February, back at the original price so that (c) consumers will then buy the new one.

Any fule kno this

oh and

downvoters please look it up first

TM

TM is meaningless even in the USA you need R in a circle for Registered Trade mark.

TM means "we can't be arsed to register it properly or can't afford to either, but we're trying to scare you into thinking we have some control here"

one word

Echelon

Easy life

Surely, use the 300 euros to buy the girl a new laptop (ok it might be slightly more) that takes her out of the equation then contest the "penalty" like shit until the media circus becomes intolerable FOR THE CIAPC

VCD's

If you venture out off the UK possible eastwards towards Turkey, you will find that VCD's are very popular, and a lot cheaper than DVD's

My characters

I think that website got some of the characters wrong (which doesn't help)

here's my take on it

WTF has "diversity" to do with software development ?

Last time I looked it software development was to do with, well, software, and excellence, etc

Here

Of course this never happens in the Uk

re: That's the standard, and we all expect it.

That however does not make it right

Added annoyance

... and that they are linked to a "generic" email address e.g. hotmail, yahoo mail, etc

How does he propose to track these down ?

Spelling

Let's see .... y o u v i e w ... no "r". ..... y o u r v i e w .... has an "r" in it

I''m more confused as to how the court thought these were "too similar" than any confusion that can be brought on by TWO DIFFERENT WORDS

Hang on .... what about "you're view" and let's get into There Their andThey're while we're at it .... despair

re: one piece of real evidence

Me neither, still waiting.

Meanwhile the Antarctic gets colder

Personal emails

"European Privacy thing a while back which said that a company could not read personal emails sent to your company email account"

How do they know they are personal unless they read them ?

Pay per view

Hey you pay TV execs listen here.

I already pay for your service in a monthly fee, are you saying this would be higher if no adverts at all ?

Or does advertising revenue buy you that third home at the coast.

What you really need to address is advertising during pay-per-view slots e.g. I pay a monthly fee, then I pay an extra £15 for a boxing match, then you put adverts in it so that in fact there is more adverts time than content time ... WTF is that all about ?

Sort it. Now.

D-Love

Fresh from a 70's timewarp and nothing to do with Wenlock & Mandeville (remember them hahaha) we bring you Dee-Lurrrrve the "friendly" cartoon robot who is just the right icon to promote .... oh sod this

re: How do you listen to a talk by that nice Mr. Reith in your drawing room ... etc

"How do you listen to a talk by that nice Mr. Reith in your drawing room while the servants in the kitchen have the Dales and Jimmy in his den freaks out that awful rock and roll?"

You have more than one computer, just like, as you suggest, you have more than one radio.

Next

Erm

I have a chess set with several of the pawns missing, it plays ok you just start off with less pawns, player can choose where to put them. Perhaps I should visit a pawn shop.

Bond Sidekicks

Bradley Manning as Bradley Leiter the CIA agent that fixes things for Bond with the US, but Bond is never really sure if Leiter has connections with Assange. This results in an atmosphere of slight distrust, no bad thing when dealing with CIA. Bond finds out that Leiter had spent 5 years in solitary in a US gaol, where he formulated his plan to bring down Assange using his own data, and using Bond as a fall guy. Bond finds out and puts Leiter back into chokey. Meanwhile Assange, who think's he's off the hook, comes out of the Embassy and a car chase ensues across London, mixed in with the first London Formula 1 grand prix. cameo roles for Hamilton and Alonso (as Javier Bardem)

I don't get it

Do you now go to jail if the word "Hilter" appears anywhere in .... OOPS

ATMs are often loaded with new, sequentially numbered, bills

This is Earth, mate

One hour

Lake Geneva is 45 miles long, that means the tsunami moves at 45 mph, which does seem rather slow. Perhaps it stops off half way round for a little snooze.

Perhaps

Parhaps, dear brave AC, we sould hold off on the "dig the bastard up, tow him out to ... etc" until he's actually been found guilty of anything. Oh wait ...

Dancing girls ?

Fucking hell Microsoft what century is this ?

It can't be McDonald island

..... there's totally no sign of a golden arch in the photo

Bigger pockets

So you'll need bigger pockets to afford it, and bigger pockets to carry it around.

But hey, it's not that big of a deal, just change all your clothes, move house, etc.

Good

now extend this to trains, tubes, buses, the UK

"Fines"

Please, get this right - these are not fines they are _charges_. they have zero legal standing. They would have to sue you in a civil court to get the money. Do not pay !!!

Ha

I know a better way of making an iPhone disappear

Firefox 9

So I checked my version number, I'm on Firefox 9 (with updates switched off).

Didn't realise they's gone up to 16 in that space of time, what was wrong with 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 oh never mind I don't care anyway. Sticking with FF 9 thanks.

For me it's Blofeld

Stroking the white cat is a mastertouch of psychotistry.

So how about Kim Dotcom as Goldfinger and Julian assange as Blofeld

whats a MiB ?

Is it the same as an MB ?

And why does it "exist", we need to know.

Cross

Surely replacing them with a cross is just hypocritical, since they are using one religious symbol in a commercial way instead of another.

Oh wait, religion and hypocrisy ..... etc ............

Slow

The speed of light does seem rather slow, cosmically speaking. I mean, compared with the distances etc such a slow thing as light seems, well, out of place somehow.

Perhaps soon we will discover a new "light" that runs at a faster speed, this will open up all sorts of comms and travel opprtunities, and have the happy by-product of driving the maths guys potless.

It is the duty of science to keep an open mind, you can't just say that somenting can not exist or be, you have to seek and then observe.

Ok then who's up for it, etc

Ha

Before the US starts hitting on foreign corporations committing crimes in the US, perhaps they should look in their own backyard at what US corporations are doing in the US ?
