Bunga Bunga!

The man is a rather rich chap who has built up his empire of several decades. If he wants to have bunga bunga parties then so be it. Its the moment that he starts being a dictator that we need to Bunga Bunga him.

Heh

It should have been released on the iPhone, the potential market there is massive.

heh

This is just the surface, so so much missing trader VAT frauds went on in the 90's and the early naughties it must be nigh on impossible for HMRC to sort it all out.

heh

"Mine is pretty beefy - would taken some effort to break it open, if anyone could find it in the first place."

I bet it wouldnt last five minutes with a cordless angle grinder. Indeed I bet it wouldnt last five minutes with tin snips !

Heh

Who wants to bet the rumour was started by the CEO of the major Salt companies?

yay

Less red tape is needed, do you know how hard is to sack someone? If they are incompetent an employer is currently obliged to retrain them. It doesnt matter that they may be as thick as pig shit or are unwilling to learn - its down to the employer to get them up to scratch.

Yay for the Tory's and their moderating Lib Dem lapdogs!

nah

Nah, we just dont like Apple. Or articles hyping up the release of a pointless tech gadget.

Indeed

I quite agree with you Vladmir, what they are doing is entirely legal. Wrong, but legal. Not their fault if the law is wrong is it?

Ah!

"the real crime #

Is that two pizza's cost over $40.

Mon dieu."

Indeed it is a crime that they cost that much, perhaps that was the reason why he used a card he had found - free pizza always tastes better!

Plextor still rock

Its nice to see Plextor still making CD drives, its what they were very good at back in the day. I use a CD drive possibly once a year now, and thats to install OS media. CD's are dead, hell even DVD's are on their way out. Long live the USB HDD!

wow

Just as I gain confidence in myself and start to think that I havent done so bad, along comes a blind kid whos; better at video games than me, better at fighting than me, better at playing the guitar than me and not to mention the chap is studying for an aerospace engineering course. I bet he's got a hotter misses than me too, and that is just wasted on him!

It makes me feel very inadequate! Imagine what the kid could do if he could see...

Kudos to him, and in all fairness he should make the rest of us feel ashamed for not embracing life to the uptmost!

spiffing

I've never really listened to radiohead, but I think I may just give them a chance now - seeing as they are releasing stuff online for a nice price and then also offering a nice collectors edition physical album.

Yay for innovation in the music industry. This is how albums of the future should be released.

Shame

Great inventor.

The title is required, and must contain letters and/or digits.

Gotta hand it to the criminals, they dont like to leave anything to chance. But just how did they get caught?

RE Asdf

Ig Index - sign up for them, its not really share trading - is is spread betting, but it is tax free. Nokia are already in my 'to watch' portfolio. As are Arm and TomTom (they have doubled since I started watching them!)

eh

No flux capictor? I say its a fake! Everyone knows it needs a flux capacitor.

hmm

What happens if a person accepted a caution? Will their DNA be retained?

Erm?

11 years? Really? From 1986 to 2007? That would make me 14. Sweet!

heh

Sure, its worth 60 billion. I mean by now there surely have been around 60 billion invested in it.... Just because I spend £50k on an old bangor dropping a big engine in and making it shiney, does not make it worth £50k - its still the same old pile of shit.

Facebook are over valued, they have no real source of income hence all these 'Rounds of funding' that have to occur each year. Its a ponzi scheme. How many rounds of funding did google have? Two. $100k to start with and $25m once they have proven the concept. How many has facefuck had? One a year?

eh?

What an over vaulation. $300m for a website that I havent really heard of before let alone used. They report nothing of any use and quite frankly I cannot see why anyone would spend $300m for a website that is probably not even turning a profit on the bandwidth to ad ratio - let alone one that cannot be monetized.

I bet the Huff Post blew their load when they heard AOL were chucking money away like this. Where does AOL get all this money from? Surely the pot must be empty by now?

Great idea

Fujitsu should be congratulated for going down this route, sure it wont make a big difference but it is a start.

Preorder?

So, who here is going to be parting with their hard earned cash on a pre-order? Whats that, you're going to wait until its in your local shop? And even then buy it in a credit card with buyer protection....

I'll be surprised if it ships. I'll be surprised if it works. I'll be even more surprised if its playable. And as for it being enjoyable - I'd be over the moon. But we all know its going to be a big steaming pile of poo.

Nice to know

Its nice to know that if these people whom use prostitutes will have their DNA and prints taken off the system if they are thusly found innocent of all charges. Just need the coppers to do that for other so called 'crimes' and innocent people.

Wot? Laggy? @ Daniel B

A ping time of 100 - 150ms is considered laggy but playable. Above that is is just unplayable. The lower the ping, the better an edge you have as your 'reactions' are quicker. I was getting 5ms on Virgin cable, now that was fun!

wow

$100k for last place eh? Not bad for a few days work, even I could manage to finish last!

Real men ride the internet bareback!

I think the above poster was quite correct and very aptly put it. I dont use AV. I hate AV. Funnily enough since I stopped using AV I have never had a virus detected.

Possibly because I do not have a program to detect it anymore, but quite frankly I dont open dodgy links or visit dodgy sites, I use my card details all the time and have never been defrauded either. In the words of Shakespear - Its a mucha ado about nothing.

Spelling?

Has anyone else noticed the terrible spelling and grammar of recent BBC news articles on their website? Not to mention that since the election it is hardly updated.

BOOBIES (it said I needed a title, Sarah, thats what you get for demanding!

24862486.

Anyone want to bet that its his PIN code repeated twice?

Fucktard!

Yay

Yay, I got quoted in a Reg article :p

Im putting my money on it being a bug in a monthly batch process, it happend last month on the third weekend in the month, same this month. Of course the cynical among us could just assume that google are shafting us for more money because they can.

Aye

I fully agree with Michael C - programming is a job that it is nigh on impossible to wind down from, one is always thinking about the next problem and how to tackle it. Hence why I quit my Uni course and didnt go any further.

I do also agree that night coding is the best, when your mind is among nestled loops within loops within loops etc its good not to have any interuptions :)

Erm

You know the chap's in the shit when the custom agents boss's boss phones..... Bend over and take it, one either lives within the system and plays by the rules or one lives outside of the system. I quite like civilisation, so whilst I dont agree with such abuse of power - one is not left with much choice unless I wish to live on a hippy commune and listening to Sun Moon II talk about how one day all the earth will be at peace...

Erm.

The education sector is the last industry in Britain that we can monetize. Its one of the best educational systems in the world, and its quite simple - you get what you pay for. Why on earth should Uni's not charge market rates? Combine this with burserys and grants and I cannot see why we can not have Uni's for dumb rich people, and Uni's for smart poor people.

Dumb poor people, well they are just fucked aint they - but Im guessing that university is perhaps not the best place for them.

Thinkpads all the way.

I'd rather splash out £200 on an IBM X61s off ebay, pretty much the same spec and I can spend any left over cash on a decent SSD and more RAM. Honestly, you only need to use a proper Thinkpad (not the e100 jobby) once to be converted.

Because

Because its a game, no one in charge really wants him to move to Sweden and thus have some legal protection to stop them taking down Wikileaks servers. Hence the rape allegation, that gives them something to 'look into' and a reason to turn his application down.

Its really rather simple.

Motorbikes do not have enough wheels. They have two wheels, thats two less than is preffered and one less still than is required. Yes, Motorbikes may be fun, they may be fast, they may even be exhilarating, but there just is not enough room to ride on safely on the road now a days. On a bike everything including balance and timing must be perfect - hard to do when the streets are full and other cars are pulling out into ones path. Especially the speed some bike owners tend to do...

They are fun, they can even be safe. But statisticly speaking, at somepoint while driving be it a car, bike, truck or van one does and will have an accident. One accident within 25 years of riding can be one too much.

Erm

Heard it all before, like someone else said its been over hyped for far too long. I bet its a big steaming pile of crap. But what do we do if it actually is released? What will we then ridicule and use a bench mark to indicate just how likely a release date is going to be?

Erm,

I like boobs, however they are nigh on useless when it comes to advertising - put a decent rack on the telly and no man will tell you what the actual advert was for...

On a related note; Sarah...get 'em out for the lads!...

Sod the MPG!

Sod the MPG and environment. Its all about the money, and not paying money to the government/oil companies is great. Im saving my money for that 640hp Electric Mini that PML are working on. It was on the Reg a few years ago, 640hp, four wheel drive and a 0-60 time of under 5s. Now thats a car, I neeeeed it.....

I can see.

I can see quite a lucrative future retrofitting older cars with electric motors. People drive because they need to and also because they like to. I like to have a 30 minute drive home after work, it lets me wind down and its fun.

Royale with Cheese

That's one tasty motherfucking burger, where did you say it was from again?

Erm

There is no bloody was I would get in that thing. I hear Tom Cruise likes to fly, perhaps he's up for it? They could film it then and make a movie out of it, and with any luck we'll be minus one Tom Cruise.

The submarine however, well that looks fun :)

Im tempted...

Im tempted to say that this is more shit happening to some guy I dont know in some country really far away that I dont care about.

However, viva democracy. Any country that gives someone a beating and locks them up because said person bad mouthed the ruling elite or indeed anyone is not exactly fair...Its on the steep road to facism.

And Iran could be developing Nuclear Weapons? Scary. What would they have done if they had had Nuclear Weapons when certain papers were publishing cartoons about Mohammed? It does make one wonder.

Erm

I dont use Opera because it looks ugly. And it makes websites look ugly. That is all.

No problems here

We are not having any problems here, its working fine in Walsall. Never really had any problems with orange mobile broadband - it may take two attempts to connect sometimes but it usually always works.

3 on the other hand....well lets not get me started about them.

So when is it released?

So when is the film released? I would go and see it :)

Interesting

Interesting and Im glad some chap has had a brainwave, sat down and worked it out - alas while it is a nice bit of thinking I cannot see any pratical use for it. I myself use dot matrix printers at work to print out hire contracts on carbon copy paper - it certainly wouldnt be the end of the world if someone found out what was being printed...

Still, its nice to know it can be done!

well...

I think its a great idea, maybe it will catch on more and who knows even watching live championship games may be in the distant future. Its certainly worth a £1m gamble by a man who's company Virgin Media is 4 or 6bn odd in the red.
