Webhost denies poor passwords led to catastrophic hack

Paul

BlueSquare

...not the same as the gambling company is it?

Millions opted into UK mobile phone directory

Paul
Stop

Opt out...

To Opt Out you apparently text E to 118800 (which is allegedly free).

I just hope that doesn't mean they ignore the opt out and spam the shit out of users even harder.

Sony X-Series Walkman

Paul

Gah

They need to bring back high-capacity players, I still have one of their NW-HD20s and that was an awesome MP3 player. Still is, in fact.

Would-be Jacqui whacker told to try his hand with the Met

Paul

Problem is...

...your bullets cannot harm her, her wings are like a shield of steel.

YouTube flooded with porn

Paul

@phil

Kids shouldn't be on youtube without some kind of filtering or monitoring anyway. There may not usually be porn on there but there is a lot of shit that isn't suitable. Just like the internet in general.

The internet is not a babysitter.

Nokias, BlackBerrys pay ultimate price for Brown gov

Paul
Pirate

Does this mean...

...that Vodafone should sue?

They're obviously breaking them on purpose rather than "accidentally"...

So if they claim isn't that criminal damage?

RealNetworks claims CSS license lets it copy DVDs. Sues studios

Paul
Stop

RealCrapNetworks

Does anyone use RealNetworks' software anymore? After RealPlayer rose to one of the biggest things in use on the net they added ads and bloatwared their apps to the point where almost nobody was using them. They went from being on every PC to being on next to none of them...

...after that does anyone use their software?

Also, FUCK YOU RealNetworks for Rhapsody. Not because it's shit but because you forced people who'd been using the name for more than a decade out of it.

Wacky Jacqui defends Michael Savage ban

Paul
Stop

Nope...

...have a nice day wouldn't be on the sign.

Can we also do the world a favour and ban her from LEAVING the country? The world doesn't deserve the export of our biggest dipshits.

Fox terminates The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Paul
Unhappy

Fox cancels a show shock horror!

Douchebags. Maybe they just don't like Summer Glau and cancel everything she's in.

Yorkshire boozer establishes 'smoking research centre'

Paul

I'm a non-smoker

And I think it's about time we stopped this ban-everything bullshit and just enforce guidelines. Ventilation or having a smoking-only room isn't exactly hard to do.

Pirate Bay co-founder demands new police probe

Paul
Heart

What's funny is...

...if you want extra-fast access to piracy (music for example) all you have to do is google a band or album name followed by the names of those file storing sites like "rapidshare". You can have something illicit downloaded in minutes.

Who provides access to the search? That's right. Google. Google make it easier to break copyright than Piratebay ever did. Over to you, lawyer douchebags. What's that? Too pussy? Then fuck off.

Gordon Ramsay breaches f**king broadcasting code

Paul
Boffin

What kind of cunt...

...watches a show after the watershed with Gordon Ramsay in it and complains about swearing.

It contains strong language. The cunt fucking swears like a fucker. You know what the show fucking entails. It's like complaining a TV show about strippers contains too many titties - you fucking KNOW what the fuck the show is going to contain, so why be a fuckwit and complain? Just don't watch the bastard and get on with your fucking meaningless existence :)

Warning: May contain nuts.

WoW scores Blizzard lead in 'top developers' poll

Paul

GTAIV is a surprise...

...especially as Saints Row 2 pisses all over it.

Google sued for 'stealing' Android name

Paul

Same thing happened...

...with Rhapsody - Realmedia released it, and then a band that had been going for years with several albums under their belt had to change their name. :)

Microsoft: Windows 7 release in August '09

Paul

I'll upgrade...

...if the audio support isn't arseholed like with Vista (headphones not functional / mute speakers even when told not to) and the XP integration doesn't run at a snail's pace.

And if it doesn't rape me on price.

Ireland bucks trend with anti-blasphemy law

Paul
Jobs Horns

Illogical

Surely most religions are blasphemous against most others? :D

Hearing folks bang on about God is Blasphemy against my braincells.

Renault intros e-MPV

Paul

What next...

Are they going to launch a car that is filled from the rear and call it Rok-Steady?

Win 7 RC fails to thwart well-known hacker risk

Paul

Or...

...they could write the file type under the file name...

Like

VIRUS.TXT

application

etc...

It is a pain in the arse, though - non-nerds will often want to not see .exe as they don't care about extensions, they just want something that looks less confusing. Douchebags.

Microsoft's idea of Family Protection? Block Google

Paul

In fairness

...you can't really have a family filter without blocking half the internet off anyway.

@Terry - the blocking of Skype is probably like T-Mobile's blocking of some social networking/communications sites... ...though curiously they block access to downloading MSN Messenger but not to Facebook or Myspace. :)

'Miracle' bra saves Detroit woman from robber's bullet

Paul
Coat

Bra-zil

What if the Brazillian bullets were foiled by loose change, rather than foldin' stuff?

Worst.stripper.evvah.

Budget reaction: Credit insurance good, all else bad

Paul

Damnit.

My car is only about 8 years old, so I'm not eligible. It'd be nice if the £2,000 could come off the price of a new car... OR MOTORBIKE \o/

'cos that's surely going to have lower emissions and fuel consumption :)

Google accused of UK tax dodge

Paul

Isn't this...

...what AOL do?

Pirate Bay guilty verdict: Now what?

Paul

Guns don't kill people...

Wabbits do! Summon tha police! WOO WOO WOO!

Doc invents videogame sedation headset

Paul

Does...

...this headset smell of chloroform to you?

Pirate Bay loses trial: defendants face prison time, hefty fines

Paul

To be fair..

...to the google argument - google provide more search results than just torrents. They've got a big net.

TPB _only_ has lists of torrents, so their defence is a bit different. That said, it's still bollocks. :)

Tesla to open London showroom

Paul
Thumb Down

Damnit

I thought this was the "other" Tesla. I was hoping they had a showroom where you could wear cages and walk through lightning.

Damnit.

Brazilian ejected as lingerie arouses border staff suspicions

Paul

Damnit

They shouldn't turn away the ones with massive underwear collections - turn away the rough munters. The first step is improving the quality of hookers. :)

In fact, let's go further. Let us export our manky ones to Brazil. Cultural exchange! :D

IDC: Linux to benefit from recession

Paul

Things that are worth having that are free...

...air...

...sex...

...sunshine...

...the clap...

Profs: Facebook, Twitter users are lazy, thick, amoral

Paul

Shock

The internets make you stupidslol!

Microsoft conjures imaginary 'Apple Tax'

Paul

Comedy :)

If in doubt... Hackintosh. If you're that determined to run the horrible pile of cack that is OSX. :) Nice hardware, shite software. /glares at iPod with its lack of bugfixes

PETA pitches for Pet Shop Animal Shelter Boys

Paul

...seriously?

...worth thinking about?

How about we ask PETA to rename themselves as Hypocritical Douchebag Animal-Killers?

Nah, they won't go for obvious naming. :)

Russian schoolgirl invents inertioid-driven Venus rover

Paul

But...

...does she have big tits?

Hugh Jackman speaks of Wolverine leak heartbreak

Paul

It'd be awesome if...

...someone did the CGI using paint + plasticine stop-motion. Best remake evvah.

'Mad as hell' news agency declares war on light-fingered sites

Paul

@ EdwardP

I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!

Man that film is awesome.

Paul
Thumb Up

Awesome

10/10 for AP quoting the 1976 film "Network" - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074958/

Wanna upgrade from Windows 7 beta? Go back to Vista first

Paul
Thumb Up

64 bit...

...it took ages to get Vista 64 drivers for some of my hardware. I wonder if Windows 7 can use Vista64 drivers (as it undoubtedly contains 99% of its' code)... otherwise I'll have another long wait for hardware support.

The beta was an interesting experience, too. MSN locked the whole system up :D Other than that, though, it was a fast and decent system. I'm even considering being an early adopter for once :)

Dungeons & Dragons slays its digital distribution

Paul

But...

...who the hell would turn up to play D+D with printouts or a PDF reader? You'd get you ass handed to you.

If you had it in book form _AND_ as a PDF for easy searching... fair enough.

Apple iTunes unwraps (precious few) 69 cent tracks

Paul

Still a rip-off

99c per track, yet still way more expensive than buying a full album or physical copies. Esp as over here it'd be 99p/track.

On the other hand, fuck the pop tunes - people listening to that deserve all they get :)

Microsoft to offer Windows 7 downgrade to XP

Paul

Go the whole hog!

Go right back to Windows 3 + DOS or that Xerox OS they nicked it from :D

Bacon sarnies cure hangovers: Official

Paul

Mmmm

I know one veggie who was broken by Salmon. He now agrees bacon is awesome :)

MPs battle to save great British pub

Paul

Point 6...

6) Allow people the right to smoke in pubs if the landlord allows it / there is proper ventilation.

That would have saved three pubs I know of alone.

BBC Trust moots new licence laws to cope with net

Paul

Money laundering

The licence fee is a pile of nads. They give a big bit of the fee back to the government, then they pay for infrastructure which is sub-let to other companies anyway.

They then make TV programmes which get given gratis by the non-profit Beeb to BBC Worldwide who can then make a profit on DVD sales...

That was my understanding of it a few years back, anyway.

...I doubt they're really missing out on iPlayer money - maybe the government is whining that their cut is lower? :)

Students Union reps vote to ban cheap booze for students

Paul

Why...?

Why do they hate natural selection so? :(

What's wrong with a Twitter degree?

Paul

Heh

DO NOT WANT!

Westminster forced to switch off digital CCTV cameras

Paul

BOLLOCKS to the standard

The system should be flexible. £2.5 MILLION just for 9,216 pixels per camera too much? Crop the data or shut the fuck up - that 2.5 mil would be better served givving free hookers to schoolkids.

Bastards.

U2 song whacked my hard drive

Paul

At last!

At last - a punishment for listening to U2 :)

Police union leader calls for 'killer games' sales ban

Paul
Pirate

Stupid.

"when a chance to remove a probable cause exists, it must be used" ...even when he says it isn't a probable cause.

Twat. Violent people playing violent games is NOT the same as people playing violent games and becoming violent.

FUCK, I'd kick his teeth in if I wasn't so busy playing Gears of War 2

Mormons demand ICANN plugs net smut hole

Paul
Alien

Gah

DUMDUM DUM DUM DUMMMM

Aussie firewall blocks Wikileaks

Paul
Coat

TITLE! \o/

Shouldn't the firewall be called The Web Barrier Reef?

iPhone 3.0 adds cut-and-paste, search, new dev toys

Paul
Boffin

If only...

...they'd do a PC/Linux-compatible SDK, too. Douchebags.
