Posted in Paying a TV tax makes you happy - BBC
Re: Owning a TV is not compulsory.
"If you don't want to pay, don't have a TV in the lounge."
If you don't want to pay, don't watch live broadcasts.
There. Fixed it for you.

No mention. Bomb fell across the street. Not there. Loads died.

As much as I despise most in politics what ranks higher in my disdane is so called captains of industry who spout shite like Mr Google.
Re: Heavens Above
Respect!
Re: Crypteks ?
Agreed.
Make a nice website. Beg for money. Run!
A story needs to be told!
Jim-eh!
Speak?
Sounds like the noise your hear from the piss-heads in doorways who talk and spit at their invisible mates!

Re: WOW 4G
Neither.
And neither is EE (read the 4G specs).
Posted in Everything Everywhere prices up UK 4G
I'll stick with Three UK thanks ...
.... and with high speeds too.
With HSDPA+ up to 21mbps ( I get 16 on a regular basis) and all you can eat data for 15 quid. And I am on PAYG.
Appears to me that a lot of people are being suckered into 4G when they don't even take advantage of what they already have.
Oh, N1 London Balls Pond Road area for anyone who cares to know where I get that speed.
I have wondered that ...
... in order to wear one of those outfits you have to be fucking desperate, or retarded.
Anyone here care to fess up?

Complement enough?

Re: What about accessibility?
Yes it has undergone massive improvement as you put it. I too, am partially sighted, and am glad I shifted from Symbian to Android.
One of the many reasons is that since Gingerbread the accessibility features (from a PS persons point of view) have improved by leaps and bounds.
Install your own fonts, text whatever size you want, audio transcription, various contrast schemes, you name it.
Take another look comrade, you may be plesently surprised!
Good prices
Well I have given it a spin and its been a bit of a jaw dropper. Because a quick check of about five paid apps I already have showed each being cheaper on amazon.
Don't know if this is some introductory promo on all paid apps, but next time I want an app purchase I'll check both.
Choice right?
PS. As to earlier comment re combining both/all stores in a single app - I agree!
Think about this ...
... the cost!
Sorry, impressed with the offerings, but the cost of cloud storage is too high at present.
I think it will be quite some time before I give hard drives the fuck off. Even SSD.
Re: A second reason reason is....
Once tried to correct the birth place of someone that was wrong. Was auto reverted by a bot and I had to plead with the bot owner on his talk page that I was right.
Fuck that!
Re: yeah yeah, it was a bug...
Better still. Turn off Facebook period!

You have it (the right) but commercial interests can cast it aside.
Bad precident indeed.

Reality, that is.

Even cheaper via BitTorrent
What? As a hater you think I would buy it?
Read/Listened (got the audio version as well) and must say it reinforces what I think most of us already knew:
1) He was a pathological liar
2) He was a complete knob
On a personal note. I suspect without the ear bashing and interfearance he made, and given that there *IS* a lot of talent at that company, they may get on better without him.
Posted in El Reg in SHOCK email address BLUNDER
Bring it on!
I don't care if my email address is in your list. Running a small piss-ant email service for the past ten years with lots and lots of mods of my own.
It's hard. Fucking rock hard - so bring it on.
On a slightly serious note: peeps should do a deep search for their email address on a number of engines - you may be surprised to find it!
Well he fucked up there then.
So he was delusional as well as the rest.
Is that it El Reg?
Or are there more Steve Jobs stories to follow?
Asking, as I for one am done with this reverence.
Gundotra said that the demand exceeded Google’s most optimistic projections
Bullshit.
Nobody's home, and it's full of tech types. Anyone managed to get their family members to jump ship from Facebook?

No problems at all London N1
Could it be because I use my own DNS settings?
Well that's all of them then.
Name one that doesn't?
R.I.P.
Now THIS is truly sad news.
My 30 plus years in I.T. can be attributed to what this man did.
Off to dig out the bible - the K&R one that is, and a pint and a tip of the hat later.

Clarification needed
It's not clear (from the story) why all the ISP customers were blacklisted.

It's a real fucker!

How sad but inevitable
And the saddest part is that there are so many out there who still think the ship is in good health. For a truly pathetic example of this pop over to allaboutsymbian.com and see spin in action like you have never read before.
Fucking mint!
Anyone got a link to the Sky footage?
Wha!
Been using Satellite AR on Android for yonks. Great app and free!
Bugger off Apple!
