Re: "It was not immediately clear, however...

"The sooner the oil runs out the better - so the USA looses interest in supporting this horrible terrorist state."

Nope. The sooner leaders of people the world over are dragged into the street and laughed at the better. Only then will throwaway "nuke 'em" remarks cease to enter the mind of the led.

Only half?

ALL operating have unpatched holes. Always.

Correction: no laugh track. I feel dirty for checking...

Stop

RE: the King Features Beatles cartoons

There's loads of examples on YouTube although you'd be better off forgetting that anybody told you about it. Terrible accents, dire laughter track and godawful everything else.

"Screwing Over Murdoch?"

If he gets a life sentence, that'll be screwing the bloke over.

Ten years would be justice but it's not going to happen.

Screwed over? Hardly.

Smokey Joe

Early adopters...

...you can always see 'em coming.

Smokey Joe
Thumb Up

Fantastic!

Grinned the whole way through that.

Trollface

It came to this...

...and it won't change anything.

And the biggest laugh is that they rely on expensive lawyers to save themselves money. lolwut?

Goodnight muzac industry. Goodnight.

Bad...

...Idea

I wouldn't put it past 'em to sell it as a good 'un though. A lot of their bad ideas are interesting to watch...

CD32

Sounds like a CD32 moment.

(excuse the limited appeal of that statement)

In the meantime, here's some vaporware from our sponsors.

That awkward moment when you realised you just complained about distractions from your user experience on a site for the tech-literate?

Smokey Joe

Makes perfect sense though...

...often the best way to familiarise yourself with such tools is to run them on one's own machine first.

Smokey Joe
Meh

We'll just have to wait and see what product Apple decide to associate his name with...

That is all.

No Tor Heroes (anymore)

Tor exit nodes tend to be rejected by Anon IRC servers. Keeps the CP out y'see. A VPN would be great, but the majority of Anons have to rely on NickServ and HostServ and a gamble as to the trustworthiness of the ops.

Re: F**king anarchists, my arse!

It's almost as if you're confusing mob rule with anarchism...

That's what happens when you rely on the media for implied definitions rather than checking the political philosophy section of your local library.

Smokey Joe

I see what you did there

Oh yes I do

:-)

Smokey Joe

Not often..

..you get stuff wrong Lester.

Don't feel too bad about this one.

Much Respect!

In short..

..Just because the trees are growing upside down near Chernobyl, it doesn't mean the sky is falling down.

Stop worrying. Nukukar is great.

BOOM!

Is that what you want?

"The open-source outfit is taking a bottoms-up approach "

I'll drink to that!

@Chris Miller

...or to put it another way: that part of the universe 13.2 billion light years away is now 13.2 billion years older, and somewhere in that galaxy might be a small planet with an orbiting telescope squinting an eye in this direction.

Smokey Joe

So...

>"Whatever else you think of Gruber, he is NOT responsible for policy at Apple,"

He is however "on message". Apple need to just GTFO and be done with it. Their fanbois are welcome to THAT garden.

"Sheesh, just because you hang onto the Ashes"

Ah. Now we're getting there...

"It's not my fault that their programming allowed a player to win at will,"

Yup.

The casinos need to be tapping on the shoulder of the manufacturer here.

Smokey Joe

Answer?

Ask Mr Jobs. He thought he had the answer to this one...

Linux

Can't wait!

All those improvements. Sounds good. Where do I update this pile of cra... Oh!

Sorry.

Smokey Joe

Bless XP

It was Vista that made me turn to Linux. The only reason this is posted via Vista is 'cos I booted me least favourite OS for a chuckle (and poker).

/me is waiting ages for a decent game of Hi/Lo Omaha atm.

Dear Google

I'm done with ya.

Default search engine changed - check!

Bookmark removed - check!

Goodbye and have fun.

Smokey Joe

That's

...Fabulous!

Smokey Joe

True to form...

Nice one Google. I had a feeling there would be further "improvements" after the fine job you made of your image search.

Smokey Joe

Why?

The vital organs containing ammonia and heat exchangers and pipework and moving parts probably work best outside?

Smokey Joe

Stand and deliver!

"I just have to say, it doesn't feel right." is the gentlemanly way of saying "they're obviously robbing bastards, but can I face the court costs?".

Smokey Joe

How?

"How can a virus infect a motherboard?"

Firmware.

Jobs Horns

Nah

You're supposed to buy the iPhone5 in twelve months time. Your bumper will outlive this year's fashion statement.

Smokey Joe

Dell sell Linux PCs?!!

Yes. Yes they do. Stop it!!!

Smokey Joe

Upvoted...

Upvoted because the Man Utd. analogy is a pretty damned good one :-)

(Man U. fans who live outside a 40 mile radius of Old Trafford need not apply...)

Smokey Joe

Nice article

Let the other players argue over their share, Android users are becoming a silent uptake/majority because *ahem* it just works :-)

Smokey Joe
Happy

Really??!!

Your donkey must've really pissed your neighbour off, but I suppose all is not lost if he's still willing to settle down and start a family with you.

;o)

Smokey Joe

Wha...?

"The US Computer Emergency Readiness Team" BooYaaahhh!

They really love this shit those yanks, don't they?

Smokey Joe

It's not what they say...

...it's what they DON'T say.

Yet more proof that Apple and Microsoft are scared of something...

Smokey Joe

To those downvoters...

Those who have just downvoted Andrew's post are really missing the point here. The "three strikes" thing IS GONE! The bill does away with any need for three strikes and is far wider reaching.

Smokey Joe
Linux

No, not that rare at all!

But that's an OS argument. I won't derail this thread any further.

Smokey Joe
Linux

Y'know MS is still obfuscating when...

...all they had to do was make the first boot of IE give the same infirmation and options as the ballot screen.

Click click click. Job's a 'tater.

Smokey Joe

yup

It's not methedrone, whatever the hell that is. Unless the author knows better and would like to point us in the right direction...

Smokey Joe

Whuuuttt?

Google's geolocation abilities, now built into their apps to show just how cool they are, are being exploited nefariously?

Well I never!

Smokey Joe

and...

...and for every clued up Apple Fanboi* there's hundreds** of "it just works" dumbf***s who'd fall for this if it hit them***.

*Most of them.

**Probably thousands, to be honest.
