Windows XP SP3 sends PCs into endless reboot

Thumb Up

No problem with SP3 here....

...maybe this story is just more of Britains current attitude of only talking about things when they go wrong...if it goes right, we just don't bother to say anything.

Can't wait

Quite simply cannot wait. PS3? ID - for sanity's sake include keyboard & mouse support. I may never forgive Activision for this omission in Call of Duty 4. How hard can it be really

How green is your business, exactly?

Who's writing this stuff?

I thought we were an intelligent readership around here, and as such surely we all have the sense not to blindly believe in the current "man made" environmental catastrophe the press is so keen to promote, and as mentioned above our governments are SO keen to tax us on.

Having said that, anyone who's still chucking monitors into landfill should be spoon fed lead polluted water of course - there are some environmental issues that do actually exist ;)

Postmaster kills off 'free for life' webmail

I wonder if those 14 users...

Sweden may block Pirate Bay over child porn

Copyright circumvention is EASY to fix

If you don't want someone copying your work, simply don't allow the public to have access to it. Simple.

This would be particularly welcome for any material produced by Craig David. Come on RIAA & MPAA - do the right thing and keep your works private. It's 95-98% rubbish and you know it.

Brit fumes over Wikipedia, lava lamps

Anyone have a date yet...

...as to when Google is going to buy Wikipedia?

DVD ripping to be rendered impossible?

Andy Fletcher

Haha

They don't have a clue. Like most of the other Reg readers it seems, the first thing I do with a legitimately purchased DVD is rip it and tuck away the original. That way, I don't have to sit through a series of insults accusing me of being a criminal, followed by a series of copyright notices in languages I don't speak, then a series of trailers for a bunch of rubbish I'll never watch, let alone buy.

As previously suggested, pirates don't have to sit through this stuff - only the people who pay.

Uncrackable copy protection? Wake up!
