Re: Holy major rip-off Batman

Does your low end smartphone support HSPA? Probably not.

That said, most users can probably get away without the 3G.

Re: And in 7-9 months ...

And this is different to other consumer electronic devices.... How?

Re: SACKED

So its "Sacked" when you leave one job for another now?

The problem with Peter...

I liked the movies.

But the Problem with Peter is he's too much of a dreamer. He talks up his new projects when he's still in his "dreaming" phase, only for them to be hit with cold hard reality later; so we're left with a product that overpromised, and underdelivered....

Re: erm

Yes Terra, because we all know that nothing illegal ever happens.

This is just an extra check, just like the prompt/alarm that appears on some POS terminals when someone tries to buy an age restricted product at the moment. This is just a way to prevent the merchant getting money for an illegal sale.

Err

You do realise all these spectators have to go home sometimes, right?

Re: Once a scumbag...

Also I believe he has some experience when it comes to promiscurity.

Re: Problems with Metro do not mean Metro is bad

Why on a PC do I only have 2 window size choices - full and half? I thought that was fixes in Windows 2.

Why on a PC is a supposedly better start menu less efficient at using space?

If its not that big of a deal, let MS admit defeat and make it optional.

Re: You can complain about the register everywhere but Oz?

Since the Moderatrix is gone, I guess you can complain to Simon Travagalia - but I wouldnt recommend it.

We're still waiting to hear back about what happened to the last guy that complained...

Re: Besides the point..

Great. How long will it take you Robert to turn this into a speech searchable form?

Re: Besides the point..

I disagree there, that business location wouldn't work outside the US was a pretty well known fact - it wasn't kept secret. This was simply raised by a chancer.

And who is to say that they aren't spending the money to make it work? I imagine theres a fair bit of database creation required to make it work, there might be licensing issues to get someone else's data, etc.

Re: iPlayer is the broken bit

Noone, I'll take YouView.

Solitare, and the start menu for two.

You might have to wait

I think he's getting an eye transplant.

Great, lets start with the guy who thinks its a good idea to send a mentally usnstable man on the fast track to a discharge because of his behaviour into a position where he gets to handle sensitive information.

Re: Pathetic Excuses

Hang on BillG.

Manning was in a Discharge Unit. The US Army was going to effectively FIRE him before they deployed him.

Why was he there - mental issues!

They *knowingly* put a mentally and emotionally troubled kid in this situation. Natural Justice as far as I see it.

Re: Every minute.

Really, what did he do that was so bad?

Name one enemy that was "aided" - The American Public, aided in their voting choices perhaps?

The Idiot who sent a guy in a discharge unit to war, aided in seeing why he's an idiot?

Re: Dear tribunal

as far as I'm concerned, he's a mentally troubled victim. Get him help, poor fucking sod.

Then bring the moron who thought it was a good idea to pull him out of his discharge unit and send him to Iraq into the dock, and lets see some real justice done.

Re: "emotionaly troubled and shouldn't of been given access...."

You mean "Emotionally troubled and everyone should have listened to his case worker when he was in the discharge unit". He was unfit for service, and definitely unfit to be deployed.

At the end of the day, this is moral retribution to the US AFAIK. They need to review their recruitment and retention policies.
