Yet he was set up, a pawn in the game of Prods V's Papists.

Beware of innocent looking damsels with effing big sticks!

Re: landing barge "Just Read the Instructions"

It seems there are a few people about who have read Ian M Banks.

Re: That's why you get to know the security people

Yup, smile, nod say 'good morning' to them.

Far too many don't even see them unless they ask for ID in which case they are 'The SS' or 'Stasi'.

'Don't you get breaks?' is a fine opening -- not 'How many heaters do you have in that isolated, shitty portacabin?'

"I think in the UK you might need a time machine to sample a selection of 100W light bulbs at the hardware store ..."

Nah, you only have to ask . . .

Much cheaper to beat protesters.

It might be but not many people know that

Re: Exciting New Bogus Health Claims To Come!

And if it proves to give you a bit of a gippy tummy then it can be marketed exactly like a 'yoghurt-based drink with addded bacteria and fiber ' which " contributes to an acceleration of intestinal transit".

(I cannot watch the advert without laughing at a product which is marketed as being good at helping you shit better in such polite terms.)

Re: Who is this product aimed at?

"Why on god's green earth does anyone need an internet interface to their garage door?"

So you can see who is trying to look at your 'Fisher Price My First Meth Lab' set-up?

Re: Unwanted ad injectors aren't part of a healthy ads ecosystem

Soooo, it's fine to advertise a game as 'free to play' with a tiny (may need in-game purchases to get anywhere off the first level)?

They are NOT 'free to play' they are 'we'll get you hooked then demand money to get anywhere with the game'.

Free to play?

Nah, 'free to be pwnd'

"Edit: to comply with UK GOV sex discrimination laws the following addendum has been added:"

But that's astill a sort of sexist get-out clause.

Why not a simple 'Burn them!'?

Re: France Rain Speed Limit

Doesn't seem to work at all -- mobile phone juggling is far to common, as is the 'cross-hands' steering and gearchange' and the 'I can prop the phone under my chin while I navigate heavy traffic' or the 'I MUST always stop well in front of the white line'.

Can't legislate for twatability.

Ah, come off it!

Not enough meat on small people . . .

Re: Launcher

MS's model was to have IE at the core of everything.

(is the Desktop still an IE session?)

That hasn't worked - not for MS, though Google have managed it.

It almost seems as if they still want something similar - it's all 'active desktop'.

Re: I don't get it at all.

"They're meant to allow gas suppliers to sack all their meter readers,"

Do any of the companies have thier own anymore?

Round here it seems to be some sort of intermediary outfit - with little time to spare.
