Well then ...

Hulk Hogan's theme song, "I am a real American" was just his way of saying "I am not real".

Makes perfect sense to me.

@Walking Turtle

Did you kill amanfromMars and steal his brain?

@AC

"For the torrent, Pirate Bay is your friend ..."

Don't you mean, "For the moment, Pirate Bay is your friend ..."?

Mine's the one with the court appeal in the pocket.

It is Vaporware.

California is a weak sister to HP's virtualconnect, among others. Their lock-out, and "all Cisco" mentality will not be a help, as every dacenter in the world is cross-platform and multi-vendor. It's a rip-and-replace technology. If you are willing to lose your job because you spent tens of thousands on a system that fails to deliver, go buy California.

Me, I'll stick with something that actually exists, and works.

Faster? Right ...

As the test parameters appear to be completely subjective, this is a load of carp. How about testing from the time the http stream starts to the time the http stream stops?

No? Why? Because they know that they can't get better performance than ANY other browser out there.

Mine's the one with the copy of Lynx on a USB drive in the pocket.

More attacks ...

would be successful by the sharks, if they just had a frikkin laser beam!

Ban GTA , too.

This is stupid.

I mean, really, what happened to freedoms?

Oh, that's right ...you are on "that side" of the pond.

Cheaper and easier

If your Head of IT insists on going the automated, pay-for-software way, Symantec/Altiris does everything FAST does ...without scare tactics:

Paris, because she likes it fast.

@Martin Gregorie

"Please get your facts straight "

"Americans were using paper bags almost exclusively last time I looked."

Wrong-o factboy. Even in the green state of Caifornia, we have TONS of plastic bags at each and every supermarket. How do I know? I was just at Safeway last night.

So ...please get -your- facts straight prior to flaming others.

Paris, because she's mostly plastic, too.

Who cares?

Really?

Mine's the one with the pen and post-it pad in it.

@Matt

"Why oh why are companies still using third party email providers for their business?"

Because it's free ...like Ubuntu.

Not that I agree with it ....but you asked.

Really ...

You would think that humans in general had this one figured out.

This guy, apparently, is subhuman, at least in the brains department.

F-ing sad.

What a load.

This is like saying that the more you watch NASCAR, the more likely you are to drive over the speed limit.

I really hate moronic tripe wrapped in the shroud of "protecting your kids".

I can protect my kids just fine, thanks.

@Joel Clark

"Is the constant Mac-bashing really necessary?"

Yes.

I ...am ...so sick of the whiny MacTards on here.

Paris, because even she can use a Mac.

What?

You have to be joking.

Guess this is one of those, "I can sue anyone for anything at any time" moments.

The guy who says his e-bay business is going under from negative feedback needs to look in the mirrir to see why he got the negative feedback in the first place.

@Robin Bradshaw

Just wear Silver Nanofiber Underwear. Problem Solved.

Mine's the Silver Nanofiber one.

TrollFood

We need a Troll icon, just for Jimmy.

Hey JTB, can you send a pic to El Reg?

Hey Sarah ...

Not that I'm advertising, but ever hear of LifeLock???

Paris, because she's no bulldog with lipstick.

@Wonder

"I wonder if the reason they didn't want their faces shown was fear of peoples reactions as a result of overly inflammatory articles like these?"

I wonder where you get your logic from ...a pretzel box, prehaps.

What a load of tripe.

@The Other Steve

"There isn't an icon that suitably represents the populace rounding up all those who would seek to be our moral guardians and stringing them up from lamp posts, but there should be."

Oh yes there is.

@Ian

"Like the US of Good ol A have made New Orleans vanish so they don't have to worry about re-building it?"

What? Are you really this stupid? ...Ah ...a troll, perhaps?

New Orleans was a NATURAL DISASTER ...

What the Chinese Government does to its own people is a TRAVESTY.

Get your head out.

@Jim the boss

Amazing ...a whole website dedicated to trolling.

And here I thought that *I* had nothing better to do ...

Paris, because she's the boss.

Re: CVV

"Yes it was but, of course they soon discovered the fatal flaw in that - if someone has stolen your card, they can simply read the number off the back!! DUH!"

Worse still ...the kid at Kinko's with the large photocopier in the back can copy both sides of the card ...instead of just the front.

Look ma ...I have a credit card!

Paris, because she likes it kinkos ...or kink-ish ...whatever.

What??

"Has your company at any time tailored, or facilitated the tailoring of, Internet advertising based on customers' internet search, surfing, or other use?"

While not the technological apples-to-apples equivalent ....isn't this what Google does all day, every day?

Hmmm ...good question, but -

Christine Houghton said: "Since its creation, chlorine has been a chemical catastrophe. It is either chlorine or us."

Chlorine. We're all going to die sometime ...

PS: Even the radioactive isotope version will outlive humanity by a long stretch. Its half-life is 301,000 (± 4,000 years).

Slow day, El Reg?

This is SOP, people. Really.

Sad that there's no IT/Paris angle, even.

Paris, because she always looks sleepy ...

RE: Duly Noted

"As an HP employee I have escalated this to our environmental and packaging teams. They assure me they are on the case. May not be a quick fix but it will be fixed."

... and your verification of resolution will arrive on a single sheet of paper,via pack elephant, in a giant steel cargo crate, filled with styrofoam packing peanuts, and about 8 miles of bubble wrap.

Mine's the one that says "Janitor"

Stroking Solaris users?

Oooooo-kay ...

This is so fake it hurts.

@Jonathan Schofield

"Does this mean that I can be googled?"

Yes ...but the real question is, will you like being googled?

Stop your "spoiler" whining ....

@Niall

""Let us wait while the page loads", don't thinks so NEXT."

Agreed ...They are just as pretentious as their clientele, apparently.

Sad when arsty runs rampant in my browser.

@Ash

"All you religious types (Christian or Muslim, fundamentalist nutters are all the same) with your wacky black and white, good and evil simpleton views of the world aren't going to make anything better by turning a human being into a pile of minced flesh and hair."

Too right ...it won't make it all better ...

but it sure is neat to watch ...
