Hotel California

I see you were careful NOT to say check-out any time he likes

Annihilator

As per the the first line in this article:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/11/01/review_creative_zen_touch/

Creative were the first.

Unlike the many iPod's in landfill, my Zen Touch 20GB is still in daily use. Therein lies the problem.

More money, more debt, more shiny things.

Less money, less debt, less shiny things.

98% of the population are lining the nests of the other 2% and these patents and copyrights only serve to reinforce that.

I briefly

slept in one after getting stuck in Margate for the night ('till I found the railway station platform waiting room had a bar heater).

Villagers should equip adopted ones with reasonably priced hotspots.

Tab order?

Nice article Alun.

'all about surfing that wave of torque to surge past the inattentive and the timid' sums up motoring nicely.

I understand the true BlueMotion cars are 100% tax deductable, presumably this isn't?

How about

When he's finished with that, perhaps he can drag their customer service into the present too. (or at least implement some)

How old do you sound?

Teenagers, eh? C'mon granddad.

Let me introduce you to the concept of virtual machines.

Please

Heineken, don't sully your good name with these f*ckwads.

(but please do sort out your distribution channel)

Passive Smoking

T-Mobile are currently offering Unlimited Internet (no Fair Use Policy), which is a reversal.

If you still don't want to be a part of Everything Everywhere, why don't you go off-contract with GiffGaff?

WARNING: off-topic

it's true, most ppl who buy BM's are utter wankers.

Most BM's these days are shite anyway. There are a couple of good ones, but the rest are just status symbols.

The 1 series for example is a Rover and is not that dissimilar to a Hyundai i30 and is BMW's best-selling vehicle.

Shame really, I remember the day when I wanted a BMW, same with Audi, I did have an 80 Quattro for a while.

These days, I find Ford's have more allure, not least for the choice of colours!

Misunderstood

Thought that you were refering to the pope's mobile.

I was thinking, not only has god been spoken to on this particular mobile, but there's a possibility Neil Armstrong used it from the heavens too!

Raise a glass to Carmack & Carmack

Loved this game, along with Command & Conquer, Dune and Championship Manager.

Was always reminded of it even years later watching NT's 3D maze screensaver.

Etchellent

Love the fact that they grabbed the money from Apple's account!

Surely

It's a vibrastor

bollocks

I look after architects IT.

This news added to their predisposition for 'art', signals a return to offices full of Macs.

Must remember to make sure NO Mac servers...

Now then

THERE's a target for LulzSec

Who in the hell

installs Windows from an optical disc?

Nice looking, but I'm sure it will not last 10 years due to excessive heat and it's over-priced.

Hopefully

that means I can ditch the horrible piece of software that is BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express. And hopefully, RIM have made this at least half-way usable.

Eh?

Why did you mention you rooted it?

You could equally do that on a stock ROM

Hmmm

Jarvis Cocker's 'The c*nts are still running the world' springs to mind.

Irrelevant

any comment by an Anonymous Coward (the clue's in the name)

Allbeit my moniker is not my real name, you can at least cross-reference any comment I make with ones you may have read in the past to determine if I'm trolling or a fascist right-wing nutjob.

Presumably most AC's above are in their late 50's/60's and therefore have had a charmed fucking life.

No wars to deal with, plenty of savings and several pairs of rose-tinted specs and a nice pension to wrap it all up.

What we have here, my baby boomer chums, is a revolt.

You and your ilk have created a society in which it's seemingly perfectly acceptable to do as John G Imrie points out and you're the ones getting away with just those crimes.

Oh, but it's all to easy to pontificate when discussing the civil disorder brought about in part by your ignorance and apathy towards a generation you don't understand and have no consideration for.

I don't for one minute defend rioting and looting, but to try and simplify this by brushing it under the carpet as a group of theiving ne'er-do-wells makes me sick.

Get off you high horse you pompous old farts and do something good for a change. Who knows, maybe you could help these malcontents rather than directing your bilious invective at them.

Just

fuck off back to your crayons Apple.

Erm

Isn't the whole point of LulzSec to expose how little consideration is being given to keep our private information secure?

Either that, or one helluva conspiracy to share our private data with organisations who would otherwise have to go through due process.

Mission accomplished.

Either way, don't expect any privacy.

I hope the relevant organisations are sued for failing to protect these sensitive data.

To those who vehemently disagree with what LulzSec are doing, do you also agree that the security of your data should be treated with such contempt?

Seriously

Have you tried this?

Would Microsoft not have been able to accomplish this and deemed it sensible?

How about

3 balloons on the points of a large triangular frame/ring, with the vehicle slung centrally slightly below? Launch LOHAN through the ring fnarrr!

She's lucky

The security guy in question did what anyone would have I suppose, but most of the security at TVP put on this bouncer-like thuggish facade.

I've wondered before, when visiting MS, how different the world would be if their platform was as secure as their security.

Agreed, but

Threats of violence can't be tolerated in any way.

I have to wonder what DB has done to these Bellarussians to incur their wrath though.

Let's suppose he has royally screwed them over, how would they get their own back?

We only have the very public Twitter-base side of the story to go on.

Not yet Mr Fujitsu

When it fits in your pocket and has full peripheral availability, THEN you'll be right, but not until then.

Just what I've been looking for

a way to record my conversations. Wish there was a benevolent app for that.

@Tegne

May I volunteer Sc-oopz

Simples

everyone ditch their Sky subscription.

Really? you couldn't do without it?

Dream on

I say BT are complicit and they've just scored a very lucrative deal with the studios for their Vision platform, to offset the inconvenient 'being seen to do the right thing' court costs.

As always, thank fuck BT isn't my ISP.

How sad

Indeed, my father was debating the cost of getting one of those new fandangled flat television sets, when I pointed out he spends the £600 the TV would cost YEARLY on watching Murdoch's drivel.

I mean, they don't even know who Louise Boat is :D

Fancy paying £600pa and then watching adverts as well. He may be a cunt, but he's certainly a businessman. (Obviously the 2 aren't mutually exclusive) Maybe I'll spend the £600pa on shares.

Hmm

'so surely the playability of a game shouldn't depend on the reliability of t'interweb?'

Absolutely, playability should depend on whether it's actually any good or not.

Aspect

Don't agree 4:3 is better, won't fit in a jacket pocket. The Streak would at a push.

Tit le

I had the Mickey Mouse Game & Watch. Everytime you neared 100 eggs caught, it sped up and more each century.

Clocking the thing at 1000 eggs took months to accomplish! Couldn't do it now, I reckon you need to be 12 to have fast enough reactions.

concession

you're right that healthcare costs far more than space shuttles and the two are not mutually exclusive.

However, it is still time to move on.

If the human race could avoid ridiculous conflicts, we could probably be colonizing Mars by now. (and have a fantastic healthcare/education system)

File manager

ES File Explorer?

OK,

not sure where you're going with this really Andrew.

Rupert Murdoch doesn't stand accused of being an arch-villan as far as I can see.

He does stand accused of controlling organizations around the world that clearly indulge in some very dubious tactics to obtain scoops/influence politics and that he should really be responsible for such actions.

His crime really, is to turn a blind eye to actions that it is very likely he knew about and to allow the manipulation of politicians/policemen for his organizations' own gains.

If anyone was a Keyser Soze, it was probably Rebekah Brooks.

Tabloid incident

Mrs Murdoch should be up for assault.

Pr0n

The whole pr0n thing is about getting the female (I know many females like pr0n, but I think they consider their kids' access to it) market.

Do you think for one moment that any of these guys want to prevent pr0n on their platforms?

Patents suck, they're for unimaginative lazy people who wish to sit on their haunches.

Just be the best at what you do.

I've always said it...

Don't mess with 'The Shat'

Proof? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lul-Y8vSr0I&feature=player_embedded

LOLZ

Looks good

reminds me of Galactic Conquest (BF1942) and a little of First Strike (BF2142).

If it's anything like Galactic Conquest was, it'll be really playable with a good community. Here's hoping. 'I'm on your team smack-tard' FTW

So that's what

all the cash 4 gold stalls are for, to buy up all the naff gold from chavs and then sell it back to chavs as naff 'bricks'

I was wondering what would happen if everyone sold their gold. If they did, maybe I COULD then ask the bank to 'pay the bearer'

When the revolution comes, I suppose you could fashion a club out of gold to protect your crops.
