RE: MyMedicalRecords.com

- Lack of 24 hr /7 day direct contact customer service implies a bunch of amatures

- Lack of guarantee to follow HIPPA regulations implies a bunch of amatures

- "attorney that specializes in HIPAA" = ready to litigate anytime (this being the U S of A)

- "proprietary patent pending technologies" = snake oil

- "504 Errors" implies a lack of technical expertise

- lack of Canadian logo means they already know their site doesn't meet Canadian healthcare standards (pitiful as those may already be)

there you have it..........

Paris, because she doesn't need an IT angle and these folks seem to lack a decent one...

No sense of humour? Avoid Bootnotes

Alert

Where's the meat angle ?

AS stated above, although I must say that the shocking lack of manners on th e content-Nazi's should be an affront to El Reg.

Also, where's the follow-up article (promised ) on Bulgarian Airbags and the El Reg Soviet standards thereof?

I didn't miss out on two world wars and traverse 4 'klicks in knee deep snow to log on and fiund out that there is a paucity of NSFW articles.......

Go Lester Go......

RIP

Truly a person who served as an inspiration for all of us.

Arthur, thank-you for your works.

May he rest in peace...

Enraged vegan spitroasts Reg hack

Paris Hilton

Not all Vegans are kooky but..........................

I briefly dated a "knock-out" Vegan [hard to believe that she was a consequence of nuts and tufo and not an ounce (er, gram) of silicon anywhere......] who tried to convert me.

Relationship went down when HER parents served us {horrors} meat for dinner on a weekend. Although we were a number, I couldn't stand the thought of not biting into a nicely BBQ'd Alberta Beef steak for the rest of my life.

Although many vegetarians have a point about some of the stuff we consume as "food" , fanatical evangelising hardly endears them to the rest of us.

Paris, because she's probably easier on the appetite than Ms. Astill-Dunseith ;)

BTW Go Lester go

Query about environmental conditions

How many "Hiltons" was the server room at when the offending (sic) items were found?

Clearly the size of the "item" in nanoWales could provide a clue....

Remembering the Commodore PET 2001

No wimpy programming allowed here !!!

Cut my teeth on an early PET 2001; Graduated to a C64 with a floppy drive!!!

Toughest assignment: design a game that the player CANNOT LOSE without it being overly obvious. Done for an electronic shop intent on giving away "freebie" merchandise for promotional purposes.

Went with a "find the buried treasure" approach.

Didn't want to board the ship? You were plied into service in the best of Her Majesty's traditions by the "gang".............

Didn't want to navigate towards the Island? A hurricane "miraculously" appeared to whisk you on the way...

Couldn't walk to the treasure? A local earthquake can help you with that....

Etc etc.

Jolly good fun (if you pardon the pun) and all done on a base model C64, full graphics, joystick and on a large tv for all to see.

Now I'm in management with my memories... sigh.......
