Re: Cry Me a River

The world will be a decidely empty place without song writers ...

Re: I can not wait

Please tell me the last 2 lines were copy/paste.

Re: One born every minute

@Dave Ross

The 0 has a hole in it so the 1 will just slip through and then you'll end up with the 1 values jumping the queue.

Re: WTF?!

Some of us have to work on Saturday as well, especially when users are involved.

My response to that is "Do you want me to fix the problem or talk to you?"

Re: Balancing the balance

So you need $90K of BitCoins, then?

Re: "Songwriters are negotiating with a gun to their heads. The gun is piracy"

They could call it ThouPipe.

Re: Can we stop calling him an activist investor?

@Goldmember

That twat Icahn

You cannot call him that. Twats are useful, try enjoying life without one ...

Google is your friend...

Re: Teeth to chickens.

"chicks had teeth" sounds just like my missus ...

EDLIN

I'll fess up to using EDLIN more than once. It taught you how to use a keyboard and think about what you were doing.

Do they have pigs on Mars?

They have Essex lions.

Re: I'll watch but only if...

Tangerine Dream?

Re: Why 12x12?

But why not 20 x 20 table? Most of us have 10 fingers, thumbs and toes combined.

A few things to consider

1 - This is the first step. It's like learning to walk before you start running or, introducing an IT angle, it's like each generation of PCs is an advance over the previous. SpaceX is their start and one suspects they intend making it better and more efficient in the future.

2 - "fairly routine" is what killed 7 astronauts when Challenger disintegrated. Nothing in space is "fairly routine" and every successful launch is an achievement in its own right.

3 - Seeing as every successful launch is an achievement, this provides everyone involved and everyone watching an excuse to have a beer. We, (El Reg Commentards), have taken SpaceX as our excuse to have a beer at regular intervals and we are not going to let anyone take that away from us.

Falcon XX

And when will they have the Falcon XXX?

I reckon they should call that one the Mighty Thruster.

I'm sure others can think of an even better nickname for it ...

Re: No Reg units?

Power and work but anyone reading The Reg and posting comments cannot be working (unless employed by The Reg) so the power will be nothing.

'name that font'

Re: But....

How can you seriously expect LOHAN to be break free from the clutches of reason as well as gravity?

By using the VW hovercar.

"Germin and they want £75 to update"

That £75 is a one-off charge, all subsequent updates will be free for that device. I've got the same deal on my Garmin.

Re: 1000 jobs to go?

I would have expected those who drove the ship onto the rocks were already on the life rafts before it got this bad.

"As seen on the Internet!"

Me thinks you need to take out some sort of protection on that expression because me thinks someone is going pinch the idea ...

Re: Marketing idea.

Anyone getting laid while driving anything should have the prize of losing his/her licence...

Re: Could someone explain to me...

More space in the front of the car for various plastic mounts to make it even harder to get to the light bulbs to change them.

Re: Hey Lester!

or bite, as the case may be ...

Re: The new Hitch-Hiker's Guide film

I had been told it was bad but it was on the box last night so I decided to watch it and make my own opinion. I was utterly devastated by the film.
