Re: Er wrong!

Always found that a bit strange that your so pro-life you feel the urge to kill.... Could that be one of the better examples of the oxymorons that can reside in human nature?

Vinyl....

... has been on its way out since the late 80's, or thats what everyone was telling me when I started my "black crack" habit back in 88. The 1210's I got in 95 have been going strong since. Might have had a shed load of needle changes, but decks were built to last...

Paris Hilton

Mail app on IOS 5...

... is really bad for crashing when you reply to emails. I've worked out if you delete the entire email thread before you reply its fine. Very strange bug in the application. You have thought this would have been found in testing.

Paris because.... well because ;)

Gay people...

... have just as much rights as everyone else to be miserable & have that ring on the finger, that tells the world they have now started a life of celibacy. ;)

@ Matthew Anderson.

We used to smoke on a few Jamaican wood binds then do it. :)

Paris because she smoked, but never inhaled ;)

I could not find anything in the article about the daughter being the hacker or passing on the information. So its safe to assume she might not have know what was going on, not everyone is tech savvy.

Norton AV software...

... is about as useful as using water as sun cream.

Lord Lien
WTF?

David Beckham....

I used to work with a guy who's claim to fame was calling him "David Beckham farty pants" & watch him run home crying to his mum when they were kids. It seems plausible as they are both the same age & came from the same area.... slightly off topic but quite a funny story :)

@ Cazzo Enorme

Too right, Operation Get Behind Darkies for Battalion 14 was a complete success!

@ Darryl, Look up Streisand effect.....

Bit of an own goal by Apple. Bet a few heads roll some where.

I think they should...

... round up a few "undesirables". Pop them into a rocket & send them of to Mars. The neds that frequent the High Street on a weekend would be a good place to start looking.

Ha Ha...

.. I worked with a guy who did the same. Lent his USB stick to a fellow engineer & it had some "art" pictures of his girlfriend. Queue mad dash accross the office once he realized what had happened.

BT...

... seems to be an easy ISP to hit if you want to try & block something. Wonder if they will bend over & do it.

@MD1500 adding a S will not work. Technology has moved on & it is possible for a device* to processes your HTTPS requests & read/log anything you do over "S". It would be safe to say that all tho BT don't do it, they could if the need ever arouse.

* I believe Fortigate Firewalls can do this, or thats what they said they could do when I went to a presentation they did for me last year. So if anyone can confirm this as fact or fiction, I would be eternally grateful :)

P800....

.... I wanted one of them so badly back in 2002, but they were out of my price range for a lowly underpaid IT 1.

They look like a brick now, not dated very well. lol

Trouble with this drivel....

... people will believe it. Not everyone is as tech savvy as most people who read these articles on the Reg.

There must be laws against this site, as it's false advertising.

Lord Lien

One word to describe these people.....

I'm so sorry.....

... but any Reg article that has "explain that sex is mandatory" & "intersex" in the text, brings out the childish 14 year old in me.

I'm off to draw knobs in people hands in the school books & sneek out for a sly ciggy behind the bike sheds.

Please wait before...

... you start having a pop at Tim, he has only been in the job for only 30 seconds.

He needs at least 6 months before we throw him to the Lions & then you can take a pound of flesh. If it was my 1st day a CEO my letter to the team would read :-

Team:

Your all fucked, I've spent the money on booze & slags.... last one down the job centre is a rotten Apple!!!

@ Craiggy

Did anyone read the full article...

"Which just goes to show that unsubstantiated claims made online can't be taken seriously"... I spat my tea out over the keyboard in laughter.

The internet never lies. The internet is your friend, here have some more internet....

"Apple is set to increase its dominance in the games industry and could own the whole shebang in ten year's time".. you could say that about any company Veep. Bit of a generic statement.

Sony, Nintendo & Microsoft are very big players in that arena. My Führer Jobs & Co, would have a hard time breaking into that market, especially as there is a wave of distrust in the direction that Apple seem to be going with developers at the moment.

Saying that, I know nothing about the new generation of consoles/games. I'm still trying to complete Super Mario World on the SNES 100%... may be after that I'll move on to Sonic The Hedgehog.

Anyone else remember the Viz adds Sonic?

@ Kurt S. Phising for accounts.....

They just send out these emails from a list in a database somewhere. Even my old man gets them all the time for WoW, Eve & Rift. There is no way he plays them or even knows what a mmorpg.

I seem to be getting YouTube ones all the time now, since you need to have a Google account to login to YouTube.
