Make streaming a felony: Obama

g e
Joke

Does it look just like a Telefunken U47?

It's cleaner than Mary and WAY more fun than Lucille...

Bet Obama knows what a pig with marital aids stuck all over it looks like.

Come come, Mr Bond

Surely you have heard of my Orbital Numbness Calculatron ?

I bid you Adieu...

g e

Whilst feeling accused

all the way through it.

You wouldn't steal a car...

No. It has a fecking alarm and, when I steal it I permanently deprive the owner of it. Which, incidentally, IS the definition of 'steal', isn't it ? Learn to speak honest English, too, you mendacious manipulative, greedy bastards.

Apple bans iPhone 3G patch omission talk from forum

No only

assholes do it too

Gmail auto sorts bulk mail, notifications, forum messages

Yeah but

Huh? HUH?

Lady Gaga puts the squeeze on breast milk ice cream

g e
Joke

I'm sure potentially

That in the correct circumstances you actually could catch most of that from lady gaga too.

Maybe a trademark suit is warranted after all.

g e

Queen

Did some work at EMI years ago. Remember some middle-manager guy walking through the office talking to someone saying of higher management 'They're shitting themselves. Queen management are all over this.'

So yes, maybe a good shoeing from proper big boys would make her shut her pointless piehole.

Neighbourhood watchers in Reading get speedguns

g e

Dear concerned speedgun-toting neighbour

We all know where you live. Of course we do.

You're a f**king neighbour you moron.

g e

Thank you!

I guess having 'Wanker' shouted at you MIGHT sound a bit like that...

"Thank you! I had no idea I was doing 30.06MPH! You live at number 37, you say? Gosh, you know I heard there'd been an outbreak of arson recently and they've still not caught the culprit. I hope you're insured..."

NASA's Glory climate-data sat crashes into Pacific on launch

g e

Perhaps but

I don't think Denialists actually have any problem with real hard verifiable facts.

It's just that there's so few of them where 'man made climate change' is concerned.

Euro court slaps down insurers over gender risks

If insurance WERE about risk assessment

Then your premium wouldn't go up cos someone in a different county was hit by an uninsured Polish driver. Would it?

Insurance Co's do NOT have your best interests at heart. They have shareholders.

Phone seller pre-peddles white iPhone 4 for UNDER A GRAND!

LMAO

And this is without a SIM, right? i.e. you got operator bills on top? No doubt plenty of halfwits will buy this.

Makes my 18-mo £34 quid a month HTC Desire HD contract look positively bargain basement. Even if I bought it a 32GB memory card.

That's £612 for the phone over 18 months. Oh and ALL calls (except 0845, etc), every text and all data, too. If someone can prove to El Reg they bought one of these off Expansys then they should get a special award.

(Special as in special needs, that is)

Will you also build my website?

Hey Elmer -

I have a copy of the website here which my 12-year-old nephew has made in Word and he says it's very easy for you to turn it into a secure ecommerce-enabled multilingual site.

I can't pay you but I will tell everyone you did this and you will make lots of money from it

Thanks.

London Stock Exchange floored, again

Apple shareholders nix disclosure of Jobs succession plan

g e

Is easy...

You become a shareholder with the intention of profiting

Everything you vote for is to increase your chance to profit

Therefore if plans were disclosed the expectation is to lose money not make it

Therefore the plans, or lack of, will cause the stock to tank

Therefore the stock should tank anyway.

Former Microsoft exec barred from taking job at Salesforce

Come and work for Salesforce Europe then

And hire Kneelie Kroes (sp?) for your lawyer, I'm sure she could work up a huge anti-competition fine for MS on this basis, bless her.

In the meantime I guess the guy has no job? I mean, you'd not want to stay with MS would you, even if they let you.

Apple plots iPad 2 production reduction

g e

Oh I'm quite sure

they know how they screw people over.

And how much money it makes them.

Perhaps they reduced volumes because their CUSTOMERS starting noticing how they get screwed over and projected demand slipped.

Right to bare arms

*Rolls sleeves up...*

OK, I get my coat

g e
Big Brother

Right to bear arms, OK, but...

A few thousand armed demonstrators excercising their right to bear arms wouldn't last long against a bank of military miniguns, teargas and skincinerator rays.

Then they'd be labelled terrorists and their families hunted till the end of time by the NSA/DHS or some other TLA.

The right to bear arms is already meaningless in the good ol US of A. You'll just get mown down by your Govt. for trying.

Big brother, cos his minigun is wayyyy bigger than yours

Sony threatens to ban PS3 jailbreakers from network

But

It's fine for Microsoft/XBOX then, I guess.

SONY's network, SONY's software, they set the rules. It's that simple, don't whine about it.

Tax tribunal finds contractor wasn't employee

g e
Flame

Fair point

Go get the industry experience, the required know-how, solid respected references, a killer CV to distill it all for a client to browse through and put your income where your mouth is and go contract independantly.

If you have the ability.

Of course, this assumes you're in a career path that has any progression. 'Shop Assistant' really doesn't come up very often in the job boards and tender lists, so you may need to retrain as something useful/skilled, also.

g e

Your Sir-ship-ness

You're absolutely right there but...

I've also been fortunate enough to meet some seriously shit-hot contractors who are well worth their rate, too.

The crap ones don't get asked back and you can bin them off quickly enough cos they're NOT employees ;o)

Me too

First Direct still mandate using IE for Internet Banking Plus (ordinary internet banking works nicely on anything) which they defended as saying their site had been security tested etc, etc, which yes, is fine, until you factor in the actual browser itself is possibly compromised, not their site, and they don't have control of that.

Maybe someone at First Direct will even read this and get a clue.
