Scum

Why anyone would stick with BT over this is beyond me.

They are scum who want to fuck any and all money out of you as they can, they couldn't care less about your privacy or rights.

Utter scum.

A grand?!?!

A THOUSAND FUCKING QUID!!?

With this, and the £2500 tv reviewed earlier this week, i guess its "Recession? Not for us as we get shit for free" review week at The Reg.

Jesus kee-ryst

That is absolutely, ridiculously expensive for ANY LCD these days, short of a 10ft OLED panel or something.

Can't see how that fancy light show adds £1500+ to the manufacturing costs. I'll maybe bite when its below a grand.

£2500, *shakes head*, fucking hell.

Oh to be a lawyer

....the one truly recession resistant profession.

Fuckin ell

The Gov should step in with twats like this.

Still making millions in profit? Then if you sack thousands and boot them into the welfare system then you can pay for it, or get arrested.

Complete shower of bastards, god i hate BT.

*switches phoneline to Sky Talk just on principle*

Nice FAIL

Hah, that gun safety video is classic.

I like how the room freaks out when he goes to handle the machine gun, your credibility went off with that shot mate.

/Paris, cos she knows how to handle a weapon

Brave or stupid?

Where did they find those 60 people?!

Who on earth would allow some white-coated gimps to monkey around with the running of their heart!

"Don't worry mate, if your heart stops we'll try to get it going again. Hopefully we won't have broken the pacemaker. Here goes....."

/not even Paris would submit to that

Awwww

fuckedcompany is fucked?!

FUCK!

*applause*

Well done that man.

Though, i can't believe those fuckers can get away with that shit. What a rotten, diseased example of a so-called Democracy.

Oh come on

Who the hell is ever gonna type *.tel into a browser? No-one.

Your average net-monkey has no clue outside .com. Even .co.uk is practically useless.

I wouldn't waste a penny on these .tel charlatans.

@"Won't someone think of the comedians"

Not to mention all those black comedians, now unable to complain about how Whitey is keeping them down.

CONFIRMED!

Mercury now officially most boring object in the entire solar system.

Seriously, is there anything interesting about that roasted little rock at all?

No surprise

New Scientist completely lost it years ago. I cancelled my subscription when it was obvious that they were going the way of that Horizon tv programme:

Assume low intelligence of the audience

Patronise

Waste time explaining things over and over again

Sensationalise everything.

I weep for british science and the decline of the countries gray matter.

The end is nigh

For everyone else that is.

If they made it PAYG (only able to buy "credits" from iTunes, naturally), and less than £200, other operators may as well pick up their ball and go home.

Great news

TOTP2 is billions of times better than the main show bollocks.

No annoying host, and no modern shite. Merry christmas.

Lazy sods

How about a cart?

Pull the thing you lazy twats, you can take it in turns.

Nice

Awesome bit of very-remote desktop admin work that.

One slip up and its a while before you can get someone to turn it off and on again.

/obligatory

I for one welcome our Google overlords.

Seems fair to me

Amazon has every right to delete "reviews" from people who haven't even bought the damn game, which i'm sure is ALL of those 1-star whiners.

I hate DRM too, but i hate anyone who abuses a review system for their own ends more.

What?

Maternity leave? For temps?

Isn't the point of temps to replace those on maternity leave already, then if that bint gets knocked up the company will be paying out two sets of wages for a woman to do fuck all for the company.

Not gonna endear women in the workplace to employers this one.

Hey, i'm just sayin.

A sure fire way to get shot

"Tase him Bill!"

*bbzzzzzttt* *flash*

"Gah, he's wearing one of those darn tinfoil vests!"

"Fine, back to good ol' fashioned bullets then"

BANG!

Excellent

I have to laugh at any El Reg newbies baffled by the Paris stories on an IT site.

Why not i say.

And i second my vote for Lohan as a celebtard understudy.

Waste of money

What the eBay sellers are probably failing to note is that the second the game is released a patch goes live that will promptly remove the offending track from the game before you can even boot it up.

Unless you disable PSN functionality every time you play it of course, which means you'll never see any user-created levels, nor be able to publish your own, making the game pretty moot.

Thats some hot shit

If they actually put these things on the market, at NORMAL prices, they'd sell em as fast as they could make them.

But no, they have to faff around for more years, giving a few only to selected people.

What a complete waste of everyones time.

Same shit, different day

MS have lost BILLIONS trying to take on Google

MS have lost BILLIONS trying to take on Sony and Nintendo

MS have lost BILLIONS trying to take on Apple/iTunes/iPod

MS have lost BILLIONS trying to replace an operating system that never needed replacing

If any company needs to learn the value of trying to NOT lose some money occasionally, its them.

Where did i put that album?

Have you seen those things, they're TINY.

So much as inhale near them and you can swallow them without noticing.

You'd lose albums by the bucketload. Those little cards should be stored inside a phone or something and never touched again.

New starter at the Reg?

An article featuring the cyber-mentalist himself and minimal sarcasm, for shame!

Cnuts

And some people wondered why we went so mental about the Spore DRM.

This just proves it, DRM=renting.

If huge companies such as Walmart and Yahoo can't be bothered to keep a key server going for very long at all, then your games will be coasters within years.
