"by what authority does the United States imagine it can unilaterally use such measures against a target that is shared by the entire world?"

" The major media release only hours before this act contributed to the legitimate concern and anger of many"

You seem to believe that this was kept secret until hours before impact. The mission was planned years ago,and information about its objectives is easily found thanks to the Internet. NASA releases information constantly, but the mainstream media only reports the exciting bits.

Unilaterally? Has there been any worldwide political or scientific objections? No, none whatsoever.

Just a few fruitcakes jumping up and down at the last moment.

I went out for a look and saw nothing.

Admittedly it was 12,31 pm and cloudy.

Playmobil reconstruction please.

<Googles>

Yes, there are a couple of Playmobil cats

@ Let 'em do it

"in third world nations and places with very dodgy governments"

That's the UK you're describing, isn't it?

Nutters!

No need for a comment. Plain text or HTML.

@ Playmobile

Ian, there's also the Swedish lesbian town in pole position. Tough call. Perhaps El Reg could do both.

When are we getting a playmobil icon?

"only subscribers to text banking were affected"

So that's all right then.

Monty Python got it right then.

I cut down trees. I wear high heels,

Suspendies, and a bra.

Can't remember where I heard this one.

A user reported that her password only worked when she was sitting down. A claim that was initially disbelieved until demonstrated a few times.

Much later, someone noticed that two key caps had been swapped over. But as she was an excellent touch typist, this went unnoticed. But if she was standing up, she hunted and pecked like the rest of us.

I canse Apple's point

It's not just an apple but one with a bite taken out of it.

Woolworth's don't sell half-eaten fruit, does it?

I've got an eight, Carol.

BOOBLESS.

Can I be the first

to ask for a Playmobil re-enactment? It's about time El Reg moved beyond boring old still photography.

Incidentally, the Playmobil Perversions section needs updating regularly).

Re Look out for the

That's from Frinklin Mant, I suppose.

Re * I fucking hate clowns

They've never appealed to me. I wonder what his spacesuit looks like?

Re Re: Memory upgrade

My impression is that 512Mb was fine for the original Windows XP. But after three Service Packs and loads of patches, it now needs at least 1Gb.

@ That's just great

It may be blocked to Earth observers, not the LCross spacecraft.

NASA wouldn't do this if it didn't promise to be more scientifically valuable.

Isn't it time

for the LSD-laced temporary tattoos hoax to circulated again?

Tits?

<Reads story>

No point in asking for pictures or a Playmobil reconstruction then.

Title

Seems to be back to normal now.

Water/hydroxyl

AKA dihyrogen monoxide.

Whoever came up with that, clearly doesn't know Cockney rhyming slang.

All Gmail knows about me is my IP address, and a few scambaiting names. And my non-USA ISP wouldn't give the bank my name and address without a court order.

Gmail must have loads of defunct account. The owner may not even know about the email.

@ @Anonymous John

Ah. She only works a four day week. Say no more.

@ @ Anonymous John

I haven't but motorbikes are so different from cars that I'd expect switching from one to another to be simple.

I've driven any number of cars though. Two had different column changes, one with the handbrake by the driver's door, and the other under the dash (both had front bench seats). No problems whatsoever.

The pedal layout never changes though, And I'd much prefer the brake to be where my right foot expects.k

Actually

The rebellion started two years ago.

"safeguarding the public’s privacy and identity rights"

Safeguarding.

Argh! It's that word again.

Bootcomment.

Mandelson suggested today that ID cards may be cancelled, along with Trident.

@ 1970's Russian hardware

There's a big difference between a 40 year old design and 40 year old hardware. While the launcher and Soyuz look the same externally, they must contain a lot of modern technology.
