Oh, FFS....

To all the gizmoids on here spouting crap on a variation of "it can't happen / it never happened"

Please read this sentence from the original article slowly, you can move your lips if you like;

"SIX PASSENGER FLIGHTS WERE AFFECTED, WITH AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS HAVING TO RE-ROUTE THE PLANES"

Now go away and write what you are on your forehead, with a marker pen.

No, don't use a mirror, it will come out as "tnuc a ma I".

@ac preventing the impossible

Which part of; "Six passenger flights were affected, with air-traffic controllers having to re-route the planes" don't you understand?

It was a; "coordinated attack", and where does it say the lasers were ordinary hand-helds?

Mozilla CEO blasts Apple for putting security of the internet at risk

Sam

@Ivan Headache

Yeah, you're worth reading......

If you are who I think you are, you got fired (from your masters in america) for passing on emails and addresses while "working" for a top line shopping channel.

You know all about security, don't you?

Unless of course, you're not him.

Care to refute?

Sam

@ ac/apple fan.

"But, being British and thus or at least average inteligence I first red what I was updating"

Thus what? It's "read" not "red", and intelligence has two l's, the same as "pillock".

You also say you like itunes and quick time? And, an apple fan? I never got the drift of the fanboy war thing until now, but I'm catching on fast...

Please don't broadcast the fact that you're British in future, it's embarrassing for us who are actually proud to be such to admit we have people like you, i.e. possessing an IQ hovering around room temperature in Celsius.

Now, where was I?

Ah, yes... and nine hundredthly, with the brown stuff hitting the air circulation device regarding the ISP/Phorm thingy, what was big jobs thinking?? How's that for timing?

I have a few boxes around me with quicklime on at the moment, but in a minute they won't have, so this is counter-productive as far as apple is concerned.. up until now I've been ambivalent toward apple, but not any more.

I think he's just made some fresh enemies.

Ok, got Wireshark, what am I looking for? (VM customer)

Sam

I love this bit from the BBC

"Kent Ertugrul, chief executive, of Phorm, told BBC News: "We have not had the chance to describe to Tim Berners-Lee how the system works and we look forward to doing that."

How about someone explains to Kunt Turdfail that we don't want his shit?

My favourite explanation aid is a one metre length of scaffold pole, works wonders.

On a side note, can anyone explain why the title "X-ripa" works, and "x-ripa-no-consent" doesn't work in my now modified browser header?

x-header syntax and rules seem to be a secret on the interweb..

Ofcom says yes on more TV ads
