Yes, how many advertisers will be happy paying for clicks that are so obviously solicited and hence not revenue-gentrating? If I was an advertiser, I'd be pulling out immediately!
I honestly don't require, or even expect altruism. Holding the board highly accountable is good for the shareholders bottom line. And that is how it was supposed to be, not the 1%er welfare slush-fund that big corporate has turned it into.
The open drivers used to be a load of old.... But I had to install them last week in desperation and was (very much to my surprise) extremely impressed with them. I'd recomend everyone at least give them a go again if they haven't in the past year-or-so. Not /quite/ as fast as fglrx, but plenty close enough for my needs and WAY more stable!
If more investers (individuals or groups) took the effort to hold directors of the companies they are invested in to account for everything they claim and do, the corporate world might just not be quite as broken as it is!
repelling a non-ferous aluminium can would require electro-statics, not magnetics. At least, that is how they said they were separating them out of the waste stream at the local recycling plant.
I had it all worked out by that age: Boys had willies and girls didn't so the doctors at the hospital could tell if a new-born was a boy or a girl - babies being born without clothes or significant hair and all.
Though it is for a desktop (I don't compute outside), I like my Infogrip BAT chord keyboard. Though I want to team it with a programmable numeric keypad for some of the programming-common symbols that are not so easy to remember the chords for. For alpha and common punctuation, it is unbelivably good, and for numeric quite passable.

Won't somebody think of the ... advertisers.

Re: And my ad is
Judging by the content of my adds recently, I would estimate FB trawled my personal website for keywords about 2 weeks ago.
Do a bonnet-roll.
That pun...
...had quite a sting in its tail.
.. Grab my coat too while you are there :-P
Re: @dotdavid - Differentiation is trivial
I had a TV remote once that had a nice simple set of buttons on the front. Then you open it like a book for the 'Cape Canaveral' version. Worked well.
Re: If the public were allowed in...
Egads! you are right.
And here was I foolishly waiting for the Ori to come out of it.
You wouldn't download a potato.
Yeah, but police come down hard on the practice.
Eat batteries, and they will charge you.
While the kids they catch eating fireworks get let off.
@AC 14:08
That is the first pitch that ever even made me take a modicum of notice!
Oh, come on!
It's Australia! The gimboids in charge are only just getting their heads around the 'moving pictures' thing.
Do they still do those adds...
...with cars driving around and around and up and down and turning left and right around some sort of infinite multi-storey carpark?
It was almost enough to make me get religeon just on the off-chance that Hell existed and was just like that!
I always wonder why they don't recast those as...
...Punch the Advertising Executive.
Surely they would get 10x the clicks!
Re: Upvoted
Yes, I don't think BDG555 could make it any more obvious that those posts are not serious.
Re: How does one secure battery compartments?
Thanks for the responses.
BTW. The little buggers I have to keep out of the battery compartments are university undergrads. My 6yo niece has more sense than some of them!
Wow!
If telegraph is obselete in SA, all I can say is they must have a far more advanced comms infrastructure than most of the rest of this country!
Because everyone would be rooting for the snakes?
How does one secure battery compartments?
I have seen the occasional device with a screw hold on the battery cover, but it isn't the norm around here.
Advice on securing memory card slots appreciated also!

I have had it with these goddamn snakes in this goddamn Walmart!

Re: What a coincidence
I was thinking that myself! Death, zombies and surviving the end of things are probably on the Sensis people's minds a lot at present.
Donkey
He HAD a donkey, but it died and he sold it to Hormel for their new line of meat-based products. I believe it is to be marketed as 'Tastes like...
OK, I'm going.
Re: sounds like someone is in dire need of a girlfriend
Your cliche is older than 8" floppy drives.

Re: Root Canal
And there is my friend who's wisdom tooth had formed essentially a fish-hook shape deep into her jaw bone.
I spent half a day reading that as:

Re: Where's the brakes.
You reverse the polarity! :-D
The biggese give-away is the fact that the grill in the bottom glows. That is what people expect from sci-fi, but not how most things work.
Re: Though technically,
Thanks for the interesting correction :-)
Though technically,
repelling a non-ferous aluminium can would require electro-statics, not magnetics. At least, that is how they said they were separating them out of the waste stream at the local recycling plant.
Unfortunately,
there are plenty of equally unbelievable products advertised on Chinese TV that are touted as truely legit (mostly 'study pills' and 'cancer cures').
Back to the ad presented. Lots of fun. I especially like how the car's magnetics were repelling the aluminium can on the street. Nice touch! :-)

Re: .biz == spam
Even easier - just white-list all the real TLDs
Shirly,
there are enough elReg commentards that find the whole TLD-expansion morally objectionable that they should cancel the lot on those grounds!
Re: But
MPAA hired thugs Vs Central-South-American sea-pirates.
I'd certainly pay full rights to see that!
Little girls and willies
I had it all worked out by that age: Boys had willies and girls didn't so the doctors at the hospital could tell if a new-born was a boy or a girl - babies being born without clothes or significant hair and all.
Sounds like Grahem

Re: "rely on the many quality solutions on the market"
I assume you meant VLC, unless you really do watch DVDs by remote from another machine!
Re: disapating 10kW of heat
That's what boils the water for your coffee.
Re: Great!
All I have is an old electric keyboard.
It's worse than that, Jim!
Don't introduce a layer of bloat which gives code-monkeys another excuse to do sloppy coding.
Re: er ....
I imagine I was first kissed in a hospital, but I will have to check that with my mum.
But open-source software is communist!
Can't have any of that going on in new-economy China!
Z88 was likely the first computer device I ever lusted for.
Of course I had had a VZ200, then a C64, but while they were great, I really really wanted a Z88. Too young to have my own income though :-(

Re: that ENDLESSLY SCREAMING KID
I kept expecting her screams to make the martian's ^H^H^H^H^H^H alien's heads to go all wobbly and explode green goo.
Well her screaming made /my/ head want to do that!
Re: Have all of those people been fooled?
You can't fool all the people all the time.
But fooling most of them is not so hard.
Bunch of cheap-skates.
It's not like Aussie politicians are even very expensive by Western standards, AFACT!
Prominant politician being ignorant and/or disingenuous!
What ever is the world coming to!
Nothing for the girls?
No an(as in male)droids?
Or have the researchers never actually seen a real woman so don't know we exist.
Oh, wait!
