Yes if they stump up the Tele Tax.

Shorter refresh cycle

Having a shorter refresh cycle increases Intel's revenue, but only because it hurts mine.

My 2004 era laptop is working fine and has 1040 vertical pixels.

I wonder if they patented it?

Re: Re: I read that as.

It means "We're going to look at what people are discussing between themselves and publish that as if it were news."

It sounds so less fun and hip when the Mediaspeak is removed.

They cost a bit, but their technical staff are pretty good. They don't do unbundled.

I would still be using them if BT could have fixed their infrastructure. My line = 1500 Mbs, next door = 4500 Mbs

Photograph the original transformer next to today's new paper as proof of Pior Art.

Nice one Virgin.

I went to the pub and interacted with real people.

I deliver more

with a greater degree of success using far fewer resources.

We send Chris Hune and is clunkiest around the world at great expense, to agree nothing except to have another meeting. If that had been me, I would make them pay their expenses and the fire them.

EU doctors say...

...drinking water doesn't reduce dehydration, or some such...

Maybe if I stick the 95% pure stuff my thirst will be quenched.

My oldest CD still plays perfectly...

and I'm listening to it right now.

Purchased in 1987 it has travelled with me to University, overseas and has moved house countless times. It's still in it's original jewel case with sleeve notes and lyrics.

Actually I can't think of any purchased music CDs that have become unusable.

As for downloads, I have never purchased any music that way, preferring CDs. One CDs may no longer be produced, but I doubt it will be in 2012.

@Homard,

"Surely they would have done so by now if it wasn't in their interests ?"

Mono is probably still small enough to be an itch that isn't worth scratching. If someone produces a competing killer application that starts to take business from MS, I'm sure they will pursue.

Remember the mantra; Embrace, Extend, Exterminate.

They're going to be used for in advertising whilst you're watching the programme.

Re: By the way what happens to your data once you do become an adult?

Your data will be migrated to the ID cards database as you turn 18.

Why can they do that?

Why can US parties purge the voters from the electoral register (or whatever it's called Stateside). Shouldn't that be handled by the local authorities?

In the UK you have to complete a voter registration form every year. Updates can be made to it and provided you're registered by a certain date you can vote. The parties can't say, "We don't like this person because they might vote against us." and remove them from the register.

Well done for rescuing the voting rights of so many.

Home knows what it's doing

"It's left some in the internet industry wondering if the Home Office knows what it's doing,..."

It will be news when the Home Office does know what it's doing.

Just how many radios do you have?

If the digital switch for radio is handled as badly as the digital switch for TV, we'll all have to buy new radios.

Without including those provided by Sky or Freeview I have 5,

Car Radio

Lounge Radio

Study Radio

Kitchen Radio

Clock Radio

I'm sure some people have many more, for example MP3 players, mobile phones etc. No doubt the Government would like us all to replace our fully functional analogue radios with digital ones. Allowing us to give the Government another wedge of VAT.

Can we have a picture of Parliament in flames?

No experience necessary

I see on TV companies advertising training courses to become MSCE, with "No experience necessary". Doesn't this take the gloss off the whole certification/accreditation process?
