Vodafone?

Really? In central London you can get whopping 1Mbs if you're really lucky. They keep texting me telling me I'm not using all of my monthly data allowance, which I think is just them rubbing my face in the fact that I can never get any bloody reception.

Do we have addresses for these schools?

I have a "friend" who's interested in sending their "child" there, probably via a closed window in the dark of night but possibly via the opportunist route and simply walk in and out with what they want.

Yay Lewis

Are we posting one a day now? And to think BOFH only gets one a week, I guess that makes you more like the Daily Dilbert.

Hurrah for Lewis Page

He's far overtaken BOFH in my weekly laugh stakes, some of the stuff he comes up with has me in stitches, the man's either a master Troll or an utter imbecile.

Awful app

not as bad as the mobile version of the website but still not good, I use the Desktop site in a mobile browser, it's far easier.

Peoples Car Project? PCP?

I guess you'd have to smoke some serious amounts of PCP before reality had distorted sufficiently for this thing to work.

Thames Water

I emailed them asking if they could provide me figures for the total volume of water storage facilities they control and their total number of customers, immediately prior to privatisation and currently. It took them a month to email me back with "Why?" (obviously I've condensed it somewhat but that was the gist).

It's the ICO for goodness sake

Why is there even conjecture on prosecution? The letters ICO are the dead giveaway, it's a bit like phoning the Met after a burglary and expecting them to come around and inspect the scene of the crime, never gonna happen.

Like a moron

I installed the free version, had a fiddle, realised what a pile of excrement it is (I particularly like the "functionality" of deleting everything you've written when you rotate the device) and uninstalled it. It serves no useful purpose, doesn't work properly and will only be used by tossers, so as someone has already said, Zuckerberg will be in like a shot.

Perhaps he has different phones for different uses

all held in a utility belt around his more than ample waist.

It never ceases to amaze me

How the lefties seem to think that kids are sent to school to be disciplined. Kids are sent to school to be educated, it's up to parents to discipline their children, certainly schools can and should try to educate the child in the proper way to behave but if that's not backed up at home then it's pointless.

Horace????

Horace goes skiing, Hungry Horace, Horace goes dating (the rohypnol edition), in fact any game by Melbourne House (slightly worried that I remember the name) should be consigned to the 8 bit scrap heap. Ultimate on the other hand, now they were the shizzle.

Stock ICS browser

Is utter cr@p, in fact stock ICS is utter cr@p, Google have managed to take everything decent they've added since v3.0 and remove it, either that or I'm now so indentured to using Cyanogenmod that I've forgotten how piss poor the standard google rom's are.

I had a marvellous on-line argument the other week

Netbook vs tablet, what do I get for my money? In what way is buying a tablet better then buying a decent netbook at half the price? IMHO, weight is the only factor in which a tablet wins but as was pointed out to me by an iPad user, I can only get 8 hours of video from my netbook whereas after 12 hours of video his tablet is still at 40% battery. Apple must be using some serious tech for the screen to be operating at that low power either that or the battery is made with some hitherto unknown substance.

Hold on now

No mention of Google in the article but it specifically states Motorola Mobility, was this case started before or after Google took them over?

I think not

I already have 10 inches, I don't think my wife can handle a 13 inches no matter how much she might want it.

Thank goodness

No one queried the funny tasting chocolate mousse.

So no different to normal then?

JET was making roughly similar claims 20+ years ago, but still no one has managed to get more energy out than they put in, I'm inclined to believe we're looking at quite a way off on that one (100+ years).

How odd

When I was in Oz last week I was using a Telstra sim, every time I connected to the BBC website I was suddenly flooded with embedded ads, presumably put in place by Telstra themselves (and also presumably coming out of my data useage). Odd that the Australian government should be worried about false advertising but be okay with Telco's bunging forced advertising onto subscriber phones and charging them for the privilege.

The service began using the package, built by US defence giant Northrop Grumman, at 3am on 27 March.

Human decisions are removed from ambulance related events. COMMANDPOINT begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

COMMANDPOINT fights back.

Yes. It sends ambulances to addresses in Russia.

Why Russia? Aren't they our friends now?

Because COMMANDPOINT knows the Russian black marketeers will strip the ambulances, no ambulances means everyone is sacked thus eliminating its enemies over here.

No, no, no, no

Look, hold on until Sunday, I'm flying to Oz over the next 24 hours and the last thing I need is an EMP knocking out flight instrumentation.

Surely

A program of mandatory IQ testing and sterilisation would be a far more effective way to go?

Thank the FSM, I read it wrong

I thought there was another e in faces.

Urgh

That's one fugly interior.

That's shocking

Who knew Kathy Burke was ever that thin?

Labout politician? Punch up?

Is there a shadow deputy PM post up for grabs? Or maybe shadow Transport Minister?

I didn't read the article

but I assume you open the app, tell it your symptoms and then it tells you another app will contact you, the other app contacts you tuts and then says they need to speak to another app and will ring you back, the second app then rings you back and says a doctor app will be ringing you, the doctor app rings, you tell it what you told the first app and it says "my god call an ambulance".

When you arrive at A&E they say "why the bleeding hell did you call an ambulance?", to which you respond "NHS Direct", to which they respond "for flips sake, what the flaming hell is their problem, they are the most inept bleeders ever". All swearwords have been removed to protect the innocent.

Is that about the size of it?

Does anyone else remember the Tomorrows World

that had a solution for space junk? The were going to send up what was effectively a tambourine, I can't remember the ins and outs of it but it seemed quite sensible at the time.

Good on Virgin Media

Now, if they could just get my Phone and Broadband working at the same time for a period of 5 days or more then I'll consider it real progress, Quite how it goes from 14 months of stability to the game of roulette it's been for the past month is beyond me.

I must be married to a good 'un then

She's said we shouldn't buy each other anything and have dinner at home so we can save our money for our Oz trip in March. Fine by me, she still expects me to buy her a card and write her poetry though.

Unleash the Great Old Ones

All hail to our new overlords - Yog-Sothoth, Lloigor, Zhar, Nyarlathotep,Azathoth, Cthulhu, Ghatanothoa, Shub-Niggurath and Yig (he doesn't like showy names because of a speech impediment he had as a child, terrible lisp, even worse as he's a serpent god).

B-list celebrities????

Really? B? 2 of 26? I'm thinking somewhere after n myself.

Giff Gaff

Really? I've got no data connection at all on Giff Gaff, christ knows what they've done.

Shoulder strain?

I would have though wrist strain more likely.

Probably just as well

From what I've read it's a shit film, which will make a nice change after the Oscar winner that was Indy 4.

Yesterday was kinda okay

Got booted off Rackspace but everything else was okay, however, it's been down since 4pm today, it'll allegedly be fixed by 8:20am tomorrow.
