is that the government would initially bring this in as a replacement for road tax (if we are lucky) but then a "reason" will be found to bring back road tax and at that point a lot of people will wish Guy Fawkes had succeeded...
I think I will be grabbing this as soon as a 3G version becomes available. Too often have I foloowed a tweeted link only to find that it is to something in flash and been unable to see what was interesting.
Now Mac users learn what Windows users have known for years, if you want to keep something, never leave in the Documents folder, put it on a separate HD and back it up if it's that important.
Aren't these the same ID cards that were recently duplicated in 12 minutes? Because I can see how that would make it difficult to work with children, yeah...
"The Tories are widely expected to oppose the 50p broadband levy being contained in the finance bill. So should they be elected to government next year, the £6 a year tax on fixed phone lines could indeed be ditched."
That would require a political party to actually enact a manifesto promise that would loose them money, something pretty much unheard of in politics...
you paid for something, doesn't mean you own it any more. Just like music, you have only bought the right to use it in the way specified by the manufacturer, not as you see fit.
The iPhone KB is still anything but perfect as far as rotating into landscape goes. It may rotate very nicely when it comes to most things but there are still the odd few (for instance, entering passwords) places where it doesn't. Why is this? I was praying for this with 3.0 and still not there.
In the end, the 3.0 update turned out to be a bit disapointing really.
Updated to 3.0 the other day and the first thing I noticed is how much slower 3rd party apps run than they used to, very clunky :(
Copy and paste is unintuitive and messy (takes too long to pop up the copy/paste buttons too), voice app is pointless and the search function needs to be able to ignore trashed items and search within 3rd party apps, tho i suppose that may have to rely on them to update.
But F1 tech does filter down to road cars, many of the recent Ferraris feature F1 derived technology.
However, your average shopping car, no. Not a bit, and thats the point. F1 has been Ferrari's play/test ground for quite a few years now, but virtually nothing from that level of motorsport filters down to cars your average guy on the street could afford unless he decides he wants a carbon fibre panel somewhere on his dashboard :)
I am horrified that the British Nazi Party managed to get two seats in Europe. A sad day indeed.
While I don't mind idiots like this kicking up a fuss, I am stunned that enough British citizens would actually take a bunch of buffons like this seriously enough to vote for them.
The continued degradation of this country that was started by the Thatcher government and gleefully continued by the Blair one is one of the most mortifying things I have the extreme displeasure to witness.

If you ask me...
It's all just Pi in the sky.
Didn't you know, conspiracy theorys are just a conspiracy theory!
The US government invented them purely to keep the nut jobs happy and to keep them from finding out that there really is nothing happening!
Fail to see the problem..
..unless you also have a problem with the advertising that has been running for quite a while showing the flag in different shades of green...
Ahhh.
DR and Quinch, love it :)
The problem..
is that the government would initially bring this in as a replacement for road tax (if we are lucky) but then a "reason" will be found to bring back road tax and at that point a lot of people will wish Guy Fawkes had succeeded...
interesting
I think I will be grabbing this as soon as a 3G version becomes available. Too often have I foloowed a tweeted link only to find that it is to something in flash and been unable to see what was interesting.
I am more than happy..
to sit back and watch the parties of liars rip each other to pieces.
(grabs popcorn)
Wooohoo, go for it guys, in the end we all loose anyway!
Doesn't matter...
you are still voting for lizards.
I love how...
Apple's definition of "best user experience" seems to include crashes and rapid battery drain...
I skipped the upgrade from 3.0 to 3.1 entirely so that I could avoid this "best user experience" after hearing about the problems with 3.1.
In other news...
sky found to be blue!
Well...
I bought it at the weekend, and frankly it's been nothing but trouble.
Unexpected crashes (taking down the whole system!) and on monday evening it stopped working altogether.
Frankly, "must try harder"!
So..
"Similar boxes are used by managers of fleet vehicles and police forces, with dramatic improvements in accidents."
Actual reduction in the numbers of accidents or a decrease in the number of accidents the insurance companies have to pay out for?
Would this be the fabled...
iRan product we have heard soooo much about?
Want to take bets on...
whether the government will manage to slime their way out of this one?
Why?
Why would anyone buy the upgrade version of Win7 when the full version costs £10 more in pretty much every high street store?
Surely no one in their right minds would want to do anything other than a clean install of an OS anyway!
awww...
poor things, is deciding which browser to install by themselves too difficult?
Hope they..
had a public performance license, or they could be paying royalties plus damages pretty damn soon!
I made my opinion known...
Anyone wan to guess what I voted for?
Ok so
Now Mac users learn what Windows users have known for years, if you want to keep something, never leave in the Documents folder, put it on a separate HD and back it up if it's that important.
I for one..
welcome our extremophile biota overlords!
I misread that headline as...
ID card support hits Brown's bottom!
Strange...
I could have sworn it was Wednesday, not Friday :)
Hammer time...
dances...
(well, it is Friday afternoon after all)
Another JT story?
Nothing to see here folks, move along quietly.
accident?
Of course it was an accident, they would much rather hit it with a missile!
So...
more funds for the Police retirement fund...
Duplicated?
Aren't these the same ID cards that were recently duplicated in 12 minutes? Because I can see how that would make it difficult to work with children, yeah...
So what?
TPB wasn't that good a torrent site anyway...
hmm..
this article is usless without images! :)
Tory promises...
"The Tories are widely expected to oppose the 50p broadband levy being contained in the finance bill. So should they be elected to government next year, the £6 a year tax on fixed phone lines could indeed be ditched."
That would require a political party to actually enact a manifesto promise that would loose them money, something pretty much unheard of in politics...
Just because..
you paid for something, doesn't mean you own it any more. Just like music, you have only bought the right to use it in the way specified by the manufacturer, not as you see fit.
Got to be..
the directors cut.
Not Penguin..
you can guarantee it will plummet to earth then crash and burn!
Kill it...
kill it with fire!
Works fine until...
someone forgets to take there mobile with them.
Photos, drawings, words. Next...
Thought!
I can see no way..
this can possibly FAIL...
iPhone KB?
The iPhone KB is still anything but perfect as far as rotating into landscape goes. It may rotate very nicely when it comes to most things but there are still the odd few (for instance, entering passwords) places where it doesn't. Why is this? I was praying for this with 3.0 and still not there.
In the end, the 3.0 update turned out to be a bit disapointing really.
BB
This is Big Brother, the original and not the crappy "reality" show version that passes for BB nowadays...
And the STIG is?
Michael Schumacher... or not... as the case may be.
So they...
"have pinned the multibillion pound project's hopes on snooping technology not yet developed"
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah Breath.... ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahbreath....
Hmmm
Updated to 3.0 the other day and the first thing I noticed is how much slower 3rd party apps run than they used to, very clunky :(

El reg needs to have a "meh" icon...
What?
We are being made to subsidise broadband for people, quite a lot of whom don't actually want broadband?
Please stop the planet, I want to get off now.
F1 tech

I have a sudden unexplained craving for...
carrots!
I would just like to demand
that people like this shut the hell up!
I for one welcome..
the return of hypnotoad....
In this country...
they would have been arrested for filming children...
Mortifying.

Oh, and go Pirate party! :)
Oh dear..
what a pity, never mind (and don't let the door hit you on the way out).
