Almost certainly the great Australian/American patriot will.
Although I did feel sorry for the poor, frail old man that sat in front of the Commission - glad to see his rising, Ernest Saunders-like, from whatever was ailing him.
Just one tiny question - how can you be so superb at getting the answers and so dumb you don't understand the simple instructions "Email your entries to me here", and "post any public comments about this in the Reg Forum Picture Puzzler topic?"
I'm all for it, as long as EVERY 'approved' website gives us irremovable(?) warnings about the dire effects of 'piracy' so we can sit around for several minutes waiting for it to load.
BTW, it's not about 'digital rights' its about 'digital restrictions'.
I had to "return a few to the workshop for reapir" when the picture became faulty - sometime shortly after the money collector noticed the box had been fiddled with.
Never found out what was wrong with the sets - all perfectly alright in the workshop.
Maybe had something to do with the pin that was sometimes spotted disecting the antenna cable - but who would do such a thing?
Straight from the "Slasher Walsh Book of Industrial relations" (another Aer Lingus axeman).
I'm sure he's worth his 71% pay rise to make sure he gets rid of the Aussie riff-raff and replace them with good, honest, hard-working Malays and Indians.
Keep up the good work!
Sorry Boldman but I'd like to congratulate Mr Joyce on his $2 million dollar bonus confirmed at the shareholders' meeting (the day before he grounded QUANTAS) - alright he got a few boos, but it was confirmed.
Was bought one of these as a gift on Thursday a.m., received call from Harvey Norman Friday PM, swapped for a Motorola Xoom this AM, no questions asked
Thanks for the service Harvey Norman, screw you HP.
"File Share ILLEGALLY convited onver somethign that is not a crime...."
Sorry Mectron, it is.
Downloading a file illicit, distributing a file is illegal.
E.g torrents download & upload at the same time and so CAN be illegal (depending on whether you are downloading 'Barry Trotter & the Half-Witted Audience or a Linux installatfion CD).
Ask people in places affected by storms, earthquakes tsunamis, terrorism if amateur radio is 'an irrelevance for the next few millenia".
After the Twin Towers attacks, Japanese earthquakes, Haiti, etc amateur radio was the ONLY form of communication - which is why the pollce & military turned to them.
Of course, the UK is immune from Lockerbie-type disasters (yes, radio hams were out with the search parties).
Yup, zero respect, but only from those with their head so far up their a**e they don't realise they can't use their mobile when the battery is flat or the repeater is damaged.
MS are doing what they've always done - 'innovation' by copying or buying out..
Apple's too big for them to buy so yet again they're trying to catch up, again not realising that what is needed is a computer/laptop/netbook/phone/tablet that works - the device is secondary as long as it does the job.
Haven't courts in several countries decided that the GPL holds water?
Admittedly (as yet) not in the UK - possibly because there aren't any developers big enough in the UK to attract the attentions of FSF lawyers (e.g.Cisco/Linksys opened 'their' source code after letters from learned friends).

Hopefully he will have got his memory back.
Brilliant
Absolutely brilliant.
Congratulations to everybody who got the answers.

I'm a member of the public and I couldn't give a toss about (apparently) dead men in canoes.
There, that should screw the great Australian patriot, Roop.
(Sorry, that should read 'that great American patriot Roop')
Re: I'd gladly use a WP7 handset
I've got a HTC; it's older than 4 years, it runs Windows 6.
It's also been rotting in a drawer for at least 3 years because it runs Windows 6.
Re: Not one to jump to thier defence
or even Pirate Bay is responsible for whatever anybody puts on there?
DRM?

F.F.S.
Nothing else.

Re: Right direction
Sounds like a Raspberry Pi.
Depressed
"One of Steve Jobs' final ambitions was to revolutionise television"
Thank gods I thought - no more drab dramas with whinging Londoners/Scousers/Geordies.
No more crap dancing/ice-skating contests with has beens to try and add a touch of 'excitement. No more endless repeats .
Having realised its just a TV set that is being 'revitalised' and we'll still be fetting the same old shite, what's to look forward to?

No
"Good God, FUEL CELLS now?!"
No, not now they're merely attempting to get a patent for them.
Then, when someone has actually done all the work and produces a practical device Apple can sue them.
An example of the MS vs Android patents was published last month (see Groklaw).
Not the first time.
I'm reminded of the time I spent ages trying to install Mandrake Linux - it was only later that I realised that I was trying to run a comic strip.
Life got so much easier when they changed their name to Mandriva.
Reality?
I REALLY wish you'd use a user name instead of A.C.
Then it would be easier to ignore your future distorted ravings.
negative reinforcement?
Negative reinforcement is not the same as punishment - in fact, it's the opposite of punishment.
I assume Miley Cyprus is a young woman?

Oxymoron
product does EXACTLY what I want --- tick
Price I'm willing to pay --- tick
Quelle surprise! It's not an Apple!

Curious
Wonder if MS will go the court route or just buy them out?
I won't be betting on them crumbling the same way that HTC etc did with their MS 'licenses' to run Android.
Four inches
So a four inch screen (and corresponding keyboard) will give a "full office feeling"?
Sounds ideal for VB macros on Excel.
Prior art?
Wasn't this displayed on TED about 3 years ago?
BUT
But will it be WHITE?

From what I can see, dynamite.
@Dave 15
"Imperial measures are good because they are very 'human', an inch about the legth of your thumb (rule of thumb),"
An inch-long thumb, how did we ever evolve?
'Rule' of thumb' goes back to the good old days when we could beat wives with a stick, as long as it was no thicker than your thumb.
MS innovation
The only innovation from MS that I've been able to discover thus far is the 'favicon'.
As mr Torvalds (reportedly) once said "there's nothing Bill Gates can tell me about computers, and nothing I can tell him about business".

Good idea?
To be added to El Reg's measures - the Hitler and or the China.
China = 1C, UK = 0.9C
Hitler = 1H, The Boy Dave = .8H
Would anyone want to drive 400 miles in a vehicle that can only do 100?
"Would anyone want to drive 400 miles in a vehicle that can only do 100?
or even 1,000 miles in a car that could only do 250?

@ wonkeydonkey
Downloading is a civil offence in most european countries.
Updloading (including using bittorrent programs) is a criminal offence.
I.e. companies have to spend their own money to come after you if you download, tax-payers pay if you upload.
Mr
haven't the publishers noticed that you can already lend ePub format books using Nook & Nook applications?
Boffins
Top NASA boffins?
When can we expect reports from "halway up the ladder" NASA (or any where else) boffins?
Or even a 'crap boffins report" ?
Anyway, hope they're right.
@ stig69
After reading the article again, plus the linked police report, nowhere does it say that he was targeting foreign students' email accounts.
It DOES say that he was Bulgarian but not, as you state, a student.
No jury
He's appealing his conviction for "for sending a menacing message over a public telecommunications system" in a magistrates court.
And
Of course, Paris Hilton being top of the pile in Hollywood.
"whatever I buy, I own."
Any idea how W. Gates III became (at one time) the world's richest man?
The sentence "The SOFTWARE PRODUCT is licensed, not sold." might give you a clue.
You did read ALL of their EULA, didn't you?

Grated cheese?
Dairy products reduce the effects of chilli.

B.S.
Move along. Nothing to see here.

Apple's too big for them to buy so yet again they're trying to catch up, again not realising that what is needed is a computer/laptop/netbook/phone/tablet that works - the device is secondary as long as it does the job.
WINE 2.1?
I was surprised to read "Wine 2.1 includes a new set of icons."
Later you (correctly) report on WINE 1.2

And iPad and the great Australian patriot R. Murdoch?
Where's my chequebook.
Do I need a license
Do I need a license if, using my Linux box, I connect to a website hosted on a Windows server?
Jury room
IANAL, but I understand that its OK to discuss the trial when its over, but not what was said in the jury room, how decisions were reached,etc.
May I express my sympathy
for all those that bought a house near an airport.
Surely someone should have mentioned somewhere along the line that planes take-off and land there?
@ Erratum
As I don't use the railways, I'd much rather you paid for any changes than it being extracted from my taxes.
HMG never contribute to a new crash hat for me.
courts?

Admittedly (as yet) not in the UK - possibly because there aren't any developers big enough in the UK to attract the attentions of FSF lawyers (e.g.Cisco/Linksys opened 'their' source code after letters from learned friends).
What I find disappointing
is that 75% HAVEN'T.
