Traffic

This only shows that data traffic consumes more bandwidth than voice traffic.

"the IP address assigned to you will remain yours ...as long as your broadband router stays up"

There are 5 (five) separate adults at my address sharing one router.

Next ....

"You don't need to dress up in a costume to do that"

Like the costumes the cops don't wear, then

Not light

Sure it's electromagnetic radiation, which includes light, but the detector equipment in these things is not optical. I define light as stuff you can see. To me IR and UV are not "light" they are radiation. thx

Ok then

what's the difference between "active choice" and "opt in/out"

.... waiting ...., tap... tap ......

"or any dispute resolution process"

sheesh

most significant human being of the 20th century

yeah, it was Jobs, because Einstein didn't exist

neither did Mandela, Mother Theresa, Turing, or Hitler (for all the wrong reasons, but he was significant)

yeah, Jobs LOL 1111aa1aa1a1a1

Irony

I just hope that Astrolabe's website refers to the Olson databse

Re: they bought the product after seeing the advertisement

I beg to differ : they bought the product because it was Apple / trendy / their mates did

15 metres

why not just shout

Indeed

Follow to its conclusion and ....

"I want my program to do this"

"Sorry but I can't write that, another program already can do that"

"But on my platform"

"Platform was not mentioned in the legislation, go buy an iPhone if you want that function, it's no so bigh a deal"

shone a torch

please, no more, please

Big business chums

Another blow to the consumer, govt's action will not help reduce/retain lower prices online

Actually

20 nS is a huge amount of time relatively speaking (sorry)

So

what about music albums that are out of print

Rubbish

In order to buy those keywords, somebody has to sell them.

357 pages, for when 356 just isn't enough

(downvoters take the trouble to explain yourselves please)

Or

just include a guitarist in the crew

everything revolves around them

Huh

surely it should be .landahn

I. for one

welcome our new Brazilian geocarpal overlords

.... of course what we really want is weeds that pull themselves up

"Groupon will pop"

Isn't that the intention ?

Everest

Again, like last time, you omit the fact that there is no sea on the asteroid. Taken from the lowest point on Earth (Challenger Deep for example) to the top of Everest easily beats this puny 15km pimple. Please keep comparisons equal.

Meanwhile, just in case, I for one welcome out pimply asteroid based space mountain masters

Revenue from Xmas greatest hits

Actually, if they were all out of copyright, that would INCREASE the revenue since they wouldn't have to pay royalties

Google

I'd have thought that it's Google's business how they run their own website (google is a website remember) and not for some mouthy busdriver fatcat to tell them how to run their web presence.

Nobody forces you to go to google.

(as usual, downvoters please explain why)

Pathetic

Surely it is the responsibility of these "well-known people and brands" to register their names/brands as domains if they want to. Several years later, realising that somebody else has and then bitching about it is an abuse of power/position. It's not like they are short of money.

Downvoters please explain yourselves.

I agree with Greg

Apple took 30% of the income, have they been fined ?

Thumbs down

Would the people who put "thumbs down" for my post titled "Compression" please explain why.

K THX

So Peter could

... wear a hoodie and dark glasses and then walk into an internet cafe in another town, say, erm, Telford, and then log into something as "Peter" and just how do law enforcement find out ?

Keep the original

I think I'll personally keep "Like painting the Forth Bridge" thankyou very much.

I'm not ready to throw away my cultural heritage just because some johhny jumped up with some fancy paint one day.

Pah.

Pic

We need a pic of this wife, in order to judge the sanity here.

Kindle brand

Amazon have got a good product with Kindle, and so it has developed into a good brand. Now they will make the mistake of trying to "monetize" the brand by "leveraging" it to include other devices into the marque.

This has the effect of diluting the quality of the brand. I now have a business opportunity gathering up "original" Kindles for sale as what it was like "before it went bad". Thanks guys.

They slipped that last one in

counterfeiting, fraud, prostitution, money laundering, blackmail and .... shock horror ....copyright infringement

copyright infringement ?

yeah that's on a par with ounterfeiting, fraud, prostitution, money laundering, and blackmail

except that while the ose are criminal offenses, copyright infringement is not

Intell

The cops quickly realised that twitter etc was a source of intell e.g. "lets go up Catford" and so they could get there in advance to quell the riot, erm I mean, watch the riot.

Of course any serious rioter would place dozens of fake messages, but of course I wouldn't think of that.

Dead

And why should e.g. michaeljackson.xxx be protected, it's not even a living person (for many years as it turns out) or for that sake mickeymouse.xxx which is a fictional charecter, like harrypotter.xxx also fictional

After you've finished

just press random keys for a few seconds

there. that was nice and cheap

Aaargghhh

Oh fucking hell what could possibly go wrong

London pub ?

£58,201 for 58,00 pints that's almost exactly 10 quid a pint

Shirley shome mishtake ossifer

"10 billion electronic neurons and 100 trillion synapses, all packed up in a two-liter volume and burning only one kilowatt"

I already have one of those, thanks
