Is that a weapon in your cyber toolkit?
Or are you just pleased to see me?
(I'll show myself out)
Google+
Is that still going?
Re: What about satellites?
Nor the ability to collimate the beam.
Which is important if you want to fire a laser through several kilometers of atmosphere.
Posted in Salesforce cuts app development steps
"Our goal is to make it as easy to build an application as it is to build a website"
And as soon as you do that, every idiot that can string compilable code together is going to publish an app.
I'd hate to see app stores turned into the modern equivalent of GeoCities.
Re: Missing Windows 8 User
Looks like Eadon is collecting downvotes again.
Either that or he's trying to be funny.
Posted in The ten SEXIEST computers of ALL TIME
I love the look of that Elan machine! How did I miss that first time around?
I'd worry about it's evil twin Nale coming to get it though.
Re: Pulse is Infrare, So Silver Paint Probable Won't Make A Difference
I doubt very much that a $5 tin of silver paint would be an effective countermeasure to a $32m frickin laser.
I would have thought that would have been the first scenario that the R&D boys tested.
It's only an illegal cartel if they are fixing prices for customers.
When it comes to fixing wages to defraud the worker, apparently it's all legal and above board.
1 law for them and 1 law for us it would seem.
Is this an actual physical effect or a mathematical one?
The intersection of a pair of scissors can travel faster than light, but seeing as it's just a geometric point along two lines, it's not an actual thing, and therefore can travel as fast as it likes.
Is this "information transfer" something similar? As nothing physical is actually being transmitted between Alice and Bob.
Re: Linux support techs
What good would they do in a windows environment?
Re: Pah...
That should be a While(True) loop.
Goto? You should be shot.
No degree here
I've got 99 problems,
But having a degree ain't one.
Re: Monetize
If you could actually buy a copy of Galaga, then you'd be a filthy little pirate for running mame.
But since you can't actually buy a copy of Galaga, you can't exactly be depriving the original artist of any income can you?
Re: Luddites
Dungeon Keeper is ripe for a make over. No one has come close to doing that game justice yet.
Kid vandalises shop window.
Gets let off with a caution.
Commit the same crime digitally, and it's up to 25 years in the big house?
Somethings not right here.
They are getting rid of men, just because they are men?
Isn't that the very definition of discrimination based solely on a persons sex?
Re: TIE Fighter?
Who in their right mind would fly a TIE fighter?
Those things are death traps!
Bitcoin offers criminals an untraceable way to launder their ill-gotten gains
Unlike the HSBC. Who were able to completely trace everyone that had laundered money through their bank.
Re: "If we did leave the solar system, where should we go?"
More importantly, "How are we getting there?"
And even more importantly, will we have any booze left when we get there?
I produced some dire websites at the start of my career too
And like Zuckerberg, sometimes I still do.
I really liked LucasArts
Loom was quite possibly one of the best adventure/puzzle games of all time.
Landings and takeoffs are controlled from within the theatre of operations
I would have thought that a maneuver like a landing or a take off would be ripe for automation.
Is there a technical reason why the pilot has to do it manually?
Re: blah blah benefit cheats blah blah
Hell, they could double the amounts that benefits pays and it would still be a drop in the ocean.
A bag contains fifteen marbles.
Unless you live at Mountain View.
In which case, you've probably lost a few.
Time to start chanting the browser prayer.
Please don't break my website!

Please don't break my website!
Where have all my divs gone?
Posted in Boffins shine new light on dark matter
Re: Confused
As I understand it, dark matter still interacts gravitationally with light.
Another problem with archiving.
Those tapes have a limited shelf life.
What I'd like to see is the digital equivalent of a stone tablet. A storage medium that can be viable for millennia.
Virtually no data is needed for ever
But I don't want to throw it away! You never know when something might come in useful!
Guaranteed as soon as I throw away that credit card receipt from 1985 I'll need it for something!
Re: The law, correctly applied, is the law, and we should follow it.
I vas only obeying orders!

Re: Ye cannae change the laws of physics
Galaxies don't have to form arms. There's plenty of galaxies out there that are just featureless blobs.
Did somebody call for an exterminator?
Mines the coat with the Blizzard logo on the back.
Almost anything
will provoke North Korea more.
Re: " because it may easily be used to lute users into visiting malware-tainted websites."
Don't have a tempo tantrum.
You is on first.
Re: niche content
Fnar Fnar!
Ofcom decided that Net Neutrality is a non-issue in the UK
And who the hell are they to decide that?
What exactly are Animal Liberation Australia doing to help?
If they really cared about these animals, then they would have boots on the ground helping these farmers.
Instead, they are trying to gather evidence for litigation. How is that helping?
Looks like everyone will have the potential to be famous for fifteen minutes
I wonder what they will become famous for...
Re: Thinking, Thinking...
Strangely enough, there seems to be no end of money from the military when it looks like scientists are close to blowing things up in new and interesting ways.
Re: VirginMedia have two policies@Crisp
All that pornography doesn't download itself you know!
Re: VirginMedia have two policies
OH COME ON!
The only reason I bought the frigging XXL 100 Unlimited package is because VM said that they wouldn't gimp my connection!
Yeah! That'll get me back into stores!
Not prices, customer service, or even a clean and pleasant place to shop.
A gimmicky little badge! That's what will have me racing to the shops with my wallet in hand!
Re: "Name and shame" campaign
It's funny how they can get away with that for convicted paedophiles.
But not with muggers, burglars, thieves, rapists, murderers, drink drivers, or politicians.
I'd much rather know where those guys live so that I could stay away from them.
Re: "...the watchdog believes punters will expect "moderate restrictions"..."
I believe that unlimited should mean unlimited. And I also believe that the ASA should pull their thumbs out of their arses and start earning their salaries.
Re: You're all wrong.
The pound is a unit of thumping.
Elon Musk owns his own spaceship
Yes... I am jealous much.
Re: Dongles
And forking.
Register dot co dot uk - exists merely to be nasty.
I think Mr Fry is confusing El Reg with 4Chan.
Re: re: We build a BattleStar
Or they might have some Tylium we can borrow.
