The ID card wasn't mandatory, it was voluntary. We all knew it was going to be mandatory, of course.

Much the same with this, I suspect.

Re: Indeed both pointless.

That was Windows Phone 7, which was WinCE. Windows Phone 8 and 8.1 (the beginning of the unified kernel) was slower and less power efficient. Windows 10 Mobile (Marketing rebadging WP8.2) was worse.

Don't know why you were downvoted. After the Pro 2012 models everything went to bollocks as Jony went mad with the glue gun. They lost the DVD drive, non-replacable batteries unless you melt the glue sticking them in, and everything got soldered in so can't even upgrade your RAM. They barely classify has amateur machines, let alone pro. I'd rather have a Mac Mini or a hackintosh.

If you scroll down it's also got a HP logo on the back. Perhaps it's a bet to see how many multinational corporations they can piss off.

Re: How do I buy a license from Apple?

The licence is the serial number of the machine they sell you, so, no, you're not going to get a licence without hardware. There was a problem when El Capitan launched, it had trouble reading motherboard serial numbers which meant you couldn't log into iCloud or the App Store.

They should have really supplied FreeDOS or a Linux on that, not market it as a Hackintosh machine as their lawyers will go for it like a red rag to their bull. Word would have got around anyway and it'd've bubbled up to the top of a Google Search for 'best hackintosh laptop'.

Re: That's daft

I don't think it's that well funded or organised. Red Cross is a volunteer organisation after all.

Buildings in the earthquake zone were supposed to have been reinforced after a previous earthquake 7 years ago, you can see what should have happened and what has happened.

Re: I suppose...

And don't forget BT Sport.

If you read the FAQ and the EULA linked to on that page, it seems they won't share any data with Facebook at all. If you don't untick the "Share to Facebook" box when you're asked to accept the new privacy policy you've still got another 30 days to untick it in Settings > Accounts.

Re: Oh, Is that so?

Yes, they shift the problem out of Excel and onto the user, who quite rightly expects dates in their own locale instead of Yankeelandia. Somebody will understand 2/1/2016 instead of 1/2/2016 and all hell will break lose because of it.

Re: Tidal locking

No, they'll be on nightshift and doing the work outsourced from the day side. Their dollar rate will be cheaper so that makes up for the code quality.

Re: That's the icing on the cake

You mean him and his invisible wife who he hadn't mentioned before couldn't have sat either side of the aisle, in the remote case that there weren't two empty seats next to each other (I say remote because CCTV shows him walking past loads of empty seats)?

His wife or assorted hangers on couldn't have looked for seats while he recorded his video?

Perhaps he should stop making up constantly changing excuses that only convince the converted anyway. When in a hole, stop digging.

Re: If A Tree Falls In The Woods, And No One Is There To See It, Is It Corbyn's Fault?

Presumably Corbyn or one of his aides can find a reserved seat which doesn't cover his part of the journey, or use one of the free unreserved seats he walked passed.

I'm rather against politicians making shit up just because, see the referendum, and if anything can be done to put them in their place so that they are less inclined to lie again in the future then I'm all for it. Note that everyone else in the CCTV footage had their face blurred out.

It isn't difficult to make the case against privatised trains without lying, just catch a Southern train.

I will also add that Corbyn is more interested in rooting out unbelievers than actually running an effective opposition. BoJo has decided to disappear over Syria and arms sales. Have we heard a peep out of Labour calling him to account? No, because he's too busy recording videos on trains.

Re: Ah, Microsoft

It did, now it just draws an unhappy ASCII emoticon with "Sucks to be you." underneath.

Re: MS Board Meeting

Haven't they reached their kneecaps by now?
