Haven't heard anything about this "lander" for a while...

Why drive across Mars when you can fly across the planet?
Meanwhile, looks as though Aber's CompSci dept has been up to other things...such as developing a robot scientist (I kid you not!)...and breaking the world record for long distance unicycling (must be the sea air...)
I doubt many open source developers will flock to CodePlex. After all, there's already a perfectly good site for open source software in existence - SourceForge. And the Redmond giant haven't exactly got on well with open source software in the past...
And they still haven't managed to outcompete Apache in the web server stakes yet - despite both being initially released in the same year (1995), according to Netcraft's October survey, Apache still leads with over 91m sites compared to IIS with just under 63m...
What's the G rating of the G1? :)
"This one sends you lots of reverse billed text messages from us, and if you try to unsubscribe it locks up your phone. 5 Gs as it makes us lots of money!"
Sorry, couldn't resist... mines the one with an ordinary phone in the pocket, not subscribed to any service...ever!
I'm a regular viewer of The Gadget Show, but have never entered their competitions...
The question they ask is usually very difficult to get wrong [1], so I reckon the average viewer has a chance of one in a few thousand (and that's being optimistic!) of winning the truckload of gadgets...
No prizes for guessing how they can afford to give away such a large prize fund each week - yup, the money donated by people hoping to beat the odds. Do they publish statistics on the average number of entrants?
And given the duplication of prizes (e.g. all gadgets in a comparative review), how many end up on ebay within a week or two of being delivered?
[1] Remember the days when viewer competitions were competitions, rather than expensive prize draws?
Whatever breeds make up a Google, surely it would be omnipresent and omnipotent, but have the fatal flaw that it interprets everything you say as an order...
So if someone invents a canine-operable computer, keep it well away from a Google in case it 'accidentally' launches a nuclear strike against Iran...
How about boxes with no AV protection whatsoever? Either (a) they haven't got any installed, or (b) the three month trial of SAV has expired...
Oh, the joys of when I worked on a helldesk - remoting over to their computer, killing every process and service I don't recognise, installing a proper AV client, then grabbing a coffee whilst Spybot (small download, useful for getting a rough idea of how trashed their system is) racks up all the usual suspects - before it gets anywhere near the cookies folder (the classic way some anti malware over reports - count every tracking cookie as an infection!)
Half an hour later, getting peed off because I've got other calls to do, inform them they'll need a chargeable engineer visit...
Meanwhile the other day I discovered a luser who'd decided to get rid of SAV (yay!) - only to replace it with AVG Free (oh dear!) - but still thought Windows Defender was a proper firewall (this gets worse!) And the luser? A former school ICT Coordinator...from a business background...
(To the tune of Camptown Races)

I wonder... does it just happen on texts you type yourself, or can received texts also trigger the command sequence? :)
Mind you, such a silly "bug" would certainly cause a few days of fun for wannabe BOFHs volunteering to offer "support" to Android (l)users :)
Paris, because. (Oh come on, I'm sure you can think of plenty of excuses for warranting her presence on this thread!)
Having a PIN or other electronic security measure is only half the solution. Sure, it makes it more difficult for anyone to carry out transactions without the card itself. But if they have the card?
That's why additional security mechanisms are a good idea. Passwords could potentially be useful, but it was slightly worrying to read on the other thread about the number of people that can't remember a simple password, just because it has two digits in it...
At work, our network passwords have no requirement for digits, but we have to change them every four weeks (well, in reality every 3.5 weeks because problems arise if you wait until the last possible moment...), and you're not allowed to reuse old passwords, so a couple of digits in the password comes in very useful :)
And how would they cope with a system like the university I went to, which placed the additional requirements of it couldn't contain any 3 letter plus dictionary word forwards or backwards (so something like rightsaidfred53 would be disallowed), anything that looked like a telephone number, NI number, DOB, or anything that looked like a numberplate (again, forwards or backwards)...
As for changing the password, at my work we have a series of five security questions required to reset the password yourself - if you forget any of them then it's a call to ICT Services. Of course, in the real world, caller ID could be used as a security mechanism, combined with however many of the security questions you can remember, for them to reset the password on your behalf...
But then, you'd need the banks to prompt you for secure security questions - stuff such as DOB, favourite colour, pet's name, primary school could easily be obtained by a hacker - particularly if you either (a) use a social networking site, or (b) use a job search site (the kind that keeps an electronic CV). So security questions may offer a bit of additional security, but they're nowhere near infallible.
Something like a Citrix keyfob (i.e. a small identification system separate from the card) could be useful - I presume most people keep their purse/wallet and keys in separate pockets.
Then, regardless of what ID methods are used, how about instead of using an iFrame to your bank or Visa, just do a plain old ordinary link. You enter your details in the full knowledge that you are where you think you are, then you click a link to take you back to whence you came, whereupon a few seconds later the bank / Visa lets the retailer's website know via a secure channel that the transaction has been authorised.
Goggles, for (hopefully) obvious reasons...
Thinking of my original comment on MFDs and Jason's post above, I now realise that chucking them out of a window is a rather boring and ordinary fate for them...
Replacing the black toner with gunpowder would be much more interesting... especially if you could rig up the doors to automatically lock when the sprinklers activate... (well, how many offices have halon extinguishers? And it's a while since we saw a non-fatal LART in action... And of course, all the computers in the offices would have to be replaced...just in case a stray droplet of water from the sprinklers entered them...)
Feelin' hot, hot, hot! Well, you would be in the vicinity of the MFD with gunpowder toner...

Moore's Inverse Square Law of IT Satisfaction → Bastard Operator From Hell
Unlikely search term, not mentioned in target article. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 15:34, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
Whoops, that was an oversight. It's now mentioned in the target article (in the section - it's a section redirect), complete with references. Rosuav (talk) 16:03, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
Now what's the betting that by the time I leave work, Wikipedia will have a description of Reggie Moore's Inverse Square Law of IT Satisfaction...
And that by this time tomorrow, some spoilsport will have speedy deleted it...
But seriously, MFD's are cr*p. We've got two in our office (one colour, one BW), and you can almost always predict that at least once a month, one will be waiting for an engineer visit...
Or some berk will be trying to print or copy to B5, so the device will just sit there, refusing to process any more jobs until someone with a clue cancels the rogue job...
Or will have developed a paper jam which requires partial disassembly of the device, several powercycles and cancelling all jobs before it recognises the rogue sheet is no longer present...
For most home users, what security they use for Wi-Fi is the same as the default security protocol on their router. Netgear used to be infamous for having no encryption whatsoever, so anyone in the neighbourhood of a Netgear wireless router could hop on the poor pleb's network...
As for me, I use WPA2 (AES encryption), with a 256 bit PSK (courtesy of GRC's "Ultra High Security Password Generator") and MAC address filtering. I've experimented with not broadcasting my SSID, but Vista gets unhappy if I try that...
Jolly Roger, 'cause it seems rather appropriate in the light of plebs with unsecured (or lightly secured) WiFi...
Surely that's one reason why Vista failed to live up to expectations. So many features were promised, but cut at the last minute...then when it was released, it was rushed out, so e.g. by completely re-writing the network stack, all existing VPN software was rendered useless on Vista. Then of course there was the bone-headed attempts at implementing a couple of *NIX features, namely "sudo" (i.e. UAC - which fails to deal adequately with the 99% of software written before it was implemented) and Compiz (i.e. Aero /Glass - which eats resources whilst providing an inferior quantity of eye-candy to Compiz Fusion.)
And for those with Vista, I still can't see what the point is of anyone "upgrading" to Ultimate, since AFAIK the only "Ultimate Extras" released are a couple of games and DreamScene.
And if they're already planning to cut features on Win 7, it probably won't end up with WinFS or support for the much-hyped Multi Touch. As for DRM, it depends on whether the RIAA have a change of heart... :)
From what I've seen of it so far, it looks suspiciously like Windows 6.1 - in the same way '98 was 4.1, and XP was 5.1...
Personally, I think their best option would be to (a) fire their marketing department (when you have over 90% market share, do you really need to market you products?), (b) develop a coherent, multi-speed (i.e. default options to suit newbies, but powerful tools under the hood for us lot!), usable OS. Then the minor improvements coded to date could be refined and released as Vista SP2.
Surely allowing them to take sensitive data out of the office in the first place is asking for trouble.
Haven't they heard of VPNs? You know, things like Citrix which allow users to access the corporate network from their home PC. And access the data remotely, over a secure connection...
Oh, of course, they'll be running Vista on their home PCs, which is incompatible with most VPN software...
The problem with taking data out of the office, even if it encrypted, is that the weak link will inevitably be the password. Too many people do not understand the concept of choosing a password that will simultaneously be easy for them to remember but difficult for others to guess. Having worked previously as a school sysadmin I've seen names, dates of birth, postcodes, telephone numbers, favourite football teams - none of which are mangled in any way whatsoever. And that's just the staff - who are likely to have sensitive data in their user areas! Once you get onto the pupils, you're likely to have "qwerty" or "abcdefg" as passwords - and one school, which didn't enforce minimum password length, had a sixth former whose password was 'a'. Unsurprisingly, his classmates frequently dipped into his account...
And of course if you enforce a password that's difficult for them to remember, chances are they'll have it written down somewhere...
a) The BOFH stories are fiction - not reality!
b) If the stories were a reflection of reality, you would undoubtedly have discovered what the PFY *really* gets up to at night by now...
c) The stories are set in the UK - specifically somewhere in London.
d) Why haven't you investigated that loose stair rail I mentioned several weeks back?
e) Accusing "Why" of misspelling is a bit rich, given that (i) you can't spell, and (ii) you haven't discovered your caps lock key yet... "Do as I say, not as I do" .... but then again, that pretty much sums up the average boss...
Traffic info has been there for several weeks now - just ask the members of SABRE (Society of All British Road Enthusiasts) - and in addition to live data, allows you to view averages for any given day / time of the week...
Tombstone as you must have had your eyes closed or been 6' under not to notice...
I don't know about the extent to which it's been implemented, but they do appear to have shipped some form of Javascript JIT compilation:
about:config
Yes, I do know what I'm doing...
Search for JIT
Change both options to True
Now, anyone know any really heavy javascript intensive sites, so I can see if those are just dummy options at the moment, or if they actually do anything?
If the terrorists have ever read about the Second World War or an Andy McNab novel, they'll just use "clearspeech". The contents of their missives will sound perfectly innocuous - "Shall we come round to a roast at your Aunt's on Saturday?", whereas what they've agreed beforehand is that what they really mean is "Shall we hijack a tanker and drive it into Heathrow T5 on Saturday?"
Hang on - I've just given the terrorists an idea. See you later, my next post will be from 1* accomodation in Cuba...
Competition time!
a) When will someone feel the need to download the data from this database onto DVD-RW?
b) When will they "lose" this disc?
c) What excuse will they use to avoid having to phone the DWP and claim JSA?
What about Elisabeth Fritzl, the Austrian girl who was kidnapped by her father at 18 and confined to the house cellar for 24 years, repeatedly sexually abused, and gave birth to seven children - one of whom died in infancy and was cremated in the building's own furnace, and three of which had no access to daylight until their release?
Well, if the astronauts are "walking" around in space anyway to do Hubble maintenance, would there be anything stopping them giving a quick once-over of their own heat shield whilst they're out there?
** What happened to the extra dozen comment icons we were promised? **
** Or have they gone the same way as bank share prices? **
From the screenshots I've seen so far, 7 looks suspiciously like minor tweaks to Vista (6.0). And since MS have a habit of a major release followed by a minor release (sometimes followed by an even more minor release) (3.0 --> 3.1 --> 3.11, 95 --> 98 --> 98SE, 2k --> XP), it would seem logical for Windows 6.0 to be followed by 6.1...
But then again, you never know with MS. Once the codebase for XP had been stabilised, they concentrated development on "Blackcomb" - "Longhorn" was originally going to be a point release, until the "Bill Factor" crept in (Bill suggesting various tweaks and additions that caused it to bloat into a full-blown OS). Eventually engineers were seconded from the "Blackcomb" project in order to get Vista out - probably a rush job since development work restarted from the Server 2003 codebase a few years into the project...
I suppose the real indicator of whether it's a minor release or a full-blown thing is if they implement WinFS and an alternative means of accessing drives other than through letters. Oh, and do something useful with UAC (making sure all supported graphics drivers can manage the switch to the secure desktop without blanking the screen for 5s would be a start!). But don't disable it entirely - anyone used to using *NIX system knows you have to authenticate as root to do sysadmin stuff like installing applications to be accessible by all users.
No dash, no steering wheel sticks - how the hell are you supposed to control this thing?
The whole point of sticks in most "normal" cars is so you can control your wipers / lights etc. without taking your hands off the wheel. And having the dash behind and slightly above the wheel minimises the amount of eye movement needed to read the display.
The Heathrow crash landing?
That plane that blew a bit of fuselage?
Now if only we could hack into public transport computer systems...
We might discover the subroutine that ensures buses and trains never run on time...
We might discover the random number generator that operates on trains arriving at Birmingham New Street (and keeps passengers fit with last minute platform alterations)...
He's probably taking a break from trying to explain to his colleagues exactly how much money his company has invested in a certain Icelandic bank...
Of course, he could always take a look at that loose stair rail I mentioned a few posts back...site maintenance are ready and waiting to 'point' it out to him...
Since we enjoy Jim so much, I'll give him his lunch :)
"THEY CUOLD TRAIN MONKEES TO DO YUOR JOBS"
I'm sure we could train monkeys to type your comments - you never know, they may spell slightly better than you...
"MY GRILFIEND ISNT A SILLICON JANAPESE WIMMEN"
So in which dark corners of the net have you been lurking to gain that impression?
Meanwhile, I've heard the railing at the top of the stairwell is a bit loose - could you go and take a look at it for me, please? I'll just call ahead to maintenance so they can point it out to you...
So the Spanish for Dumb is "bobo" - are you sure the first o isn't an e?
Just wondering, as in my attempt at IT teaching a couple of years ago, the pupils spent a great deal of time and energy trying to find anonymous proxy servers so they could use a certain website that was blocked in school, but they found more interesting than spreadsheets and databases themed around "Five a Day"...
...Can't imagine why, I've always found spreadsheets and databases highly entertaining...
(You're looking at a guy who inputs his car mileage and fill-up details on a spreadsheet to track fuel economy / fuel prices)
(And who has created a Sudoku helper app...in Excel...without macros...)
I'm sure I've seen stores still flogging boxes with Basic installed. I can usually identify them by their suspiciously cheap price. Then by looking at the side, and noticing in the hardware specs a meagre 512MB RAM. Then looking down even further to see it only ships with Basic.
Now, what I'd like to know is: do any of these laptop cases feature screenshots of Aero? Of course screenshots are only invitations to treat, so you couldn't build a legal case on them, but that would be one way of deceiving computers.
As would shipping the promise of being able to upgrade their version of vista from within the OS. MS do ship Upgrade Advisor, although IIRC it only recommends versions that are (a) compatible with the version you're running, and (b) your computer is actually capable of running.
Which means Basic users may eagerly click this, only to find the only way they can upgrade is to return the 'puter to the store, ask for a refund, then save up for a decent model. (I'm assuming the average customer buying a Basic equipped PC probably wouldn't feel confident performing open case surgery).
Or flog it to their geeky neighbour for a knock-down price, who will then promptly reformat the HDD as ext4, install a Linux distro, and have fun with Compiz Fusion. Whilst resting their cups on either (a) the recovery CD, or (b) the Symantec SystemWorks CD.
Surely not anyone who knows anything about IT. I've had HotMail, AOhell and Yahoo autofiltered out since 1996...
Meanwhile, I use a webmail provider that hardly anyone's heard of, so neatly avoids most corporate firewalls :)
Let's just say it's advertised as fast, it's a mail service, and it uses Micronesia's domain...
Since we can't reinstate the Mandelboozer page, how about adding it somewhere within the main BOFH article, including a mention of the page uptime...
From looking at the history, here are the timespans the article was alive:
11:58 --> 13:27 (1 hr 29 min)
(Redirected for 23 min)
13:50 --> 01:15 (11 hrs 25 min)
So from creation to final deletion was 13 hrs 17 min. Take away the redirect time and it was alive for 12 hrs 54 min.
Look, it's lunchtime and I'm bored, but my linguistic skills aren't up to giving Mandelboozer a quality airing in the main BOFH article - hence I did the maths instead :)
Still being considered for deletion, but not a speedy deletion any more. (20:05), courtesy of "PhilKnight".
Meanwhile, "Parsonsa123" was the first off the starting blocks, at 11:58
The article's talk page states: "Original post is factually accurate. Modifications since have been inaccurate. Consider reverting rather than deleting" (crafty - IP somewhere in BT's range but no rDNS)
The articles for deletion page:

So far, it looks little more than a minor makeover for a few bits of Vista. It's still got Vista's default Aurora wallpaper and Paint looks just as rubbish as ever from what I can see in the ribbon.
If only the WINE project could get its hands on a few disgruntled former MS coders...
Oh yes, eye candy. Someone mentioned Compiz Fusion earlier. If you haven't discovered it yet, search for it on ewe choob and drool in amazement. And unlike Vista, it doesn't wreck your system performance whilst it draws all those pretty effects.
Meanwhile, somewhere else on Windows 7 News, there's mention of possible tighter integration with Live Services. So probably instead of installing gigabytes of barely functional MS ripoffs of any rival's market leading software, it'll just provide links to MS online versions, which of course will be designed to work so much better with W7 than any other OS. By seemingly only providing URLs to Live Services, they'll probably get around regulatory hurdles - but what they won't reveal is how closely the Live and W7 teams worked, or how much code you'd need to download from Live to get the apps working if you don't have W7 installed...
if(browser != "IE8")
{
printf("You need to upgrade your browser to IE 8");
return;
}
if(os != "Windows7")
{
printf("You need to upgrade to Windows 7 to make use of all the functionality of this website.");
return;
}
IE 6 (installed at work) completely balls ups on Acid 2, and only scores 12/100 on Acid 3. IE8 only manages 21/100.
FF3.0.2 (installed on my USB HDD) completely passes Acid 2, and scores 71/100 on Acid 3.
Shiretoko (installed back at home) manages 84/100 on Acid 3.
Chrome manages 71, Opera 74 and Safari 75.
So practically anything's better than Internet Exploder. And if the site you're trying to visit will "only" display in Bill's Browser, send an email to the site admin telling them their site (a) isn't standards compliant, (b) isn't DDA compliant, and (c) can't be viewed by over 20% of the online community. If they refuse, threaten them with a visit from Simon, who will quickly show them an entirely new way of looking at their stairwells or lift shafts... :)
Given the ever more preposterous publicity-seeking stunts this chap does, and the risk of causing damage to himself, does he win the award for the least successful Darwin Award applicant?
How about for his next stunt, he gets sealed in a wooden box, and lowered six feet underground. Then covered with soil.
I'll refrain from making any suggestions relating to the words "feeding tube" and "sabotage"...
Not on the front page? Surely any BOFH worth his salt would know how to type in "<CTRL> t http://www.theregister.co.uk/odds/bofh/" by now? Only takes me 6 seconds - which is noticeably quicker than moving the mouse up to Bookmarks and scrolling down the list...
I'm also the kind of person that quite often guesses Wikipedia URIs, rather than using the site's built-in search facility.
Meanwhile, if ye want t' abuse lusers whilst takin' advantage o' "International Speak Like a Sea dog Tide", but cannot master th' linguistic subtleties o' buccanneer-speak, then try headin' o'er t' this link: http://www.syddware.com/cgi-bin/pirate.pl
I can live with the tombstone, but please do something about that heart, and couldn't you find a slightly more CGI / 3D looking Tux? Don't forget you need to do both halo and horns varieties of him...
And something every forum needs - a panda for punctuation pedants :) Shotgun optional...
Strongly agree with the suggestion to revert to the original heart / flame / jolly roger icons - e.g. the current flame looks more like an onion...
As for new icons, how about one for "Things were better in the good old days..." - possible suggestions for the relevant icon could include: the elderly persons sign, John Major ("Back to Basics!") or even, topically, Ms. Palin...
Then we could do with a red globe (or globe on fire) - "Where's the global warming angle?"
How about a globe exploding - "Repent, ye sinners, for the end of the world is nigh!" (Useful for LHC black hole conspiracy theorists)
As others have suggested, since we have pro-MS / anti-MS and pro-Apple / anti-Apple icons but only a pro-Linux, how about an anti-Linux for balance?
If you can get Simon's blessing, the BOFH devil phone logo would be a welcome addition...
O/T, and I'll get shot down in flames, but I've got to say it.
I quite like the new FB layout - I've been testing it for a couple of months now; and even before I'd customised it to severely limit the cr*p ending up in my newsfeed. However, what I don't like is them sneaking changes out without flagging them up beforehand, like removing the "Applications" menu and making it a floating toolbar at the bottom of the screen...
In amongst the numerous comments left by FB'ers in response to the development during the development period, there were quite a few people supporting the changes, as well as people moaning about the integration of wall and mini-feed. But of course with any change to any site, the number of people publicly moaning will always be higher than the number of people publicly praising, regardless of how good/bad the changes are.
However, if El Reg had done an FB and had some form of consulation before rolling out the changes, then maybe, just possibly maybe, they wouldn't have had the comment icon farce (although they'd probably still want to stick to the new fixed-width layout - after all, as with FB, some proposed changes will always be "sacred" and will be implemented regardless of what users say).
Hmmm....
Could someone post up somewhere the complete set of old vs. new, so those of us that missed out on the temporary replacement of Paris, Steve and Bill can see for ourselves how hideous they were?
I quite like the new thumbs up and down, not too sure about the new heart and gravestone, hate the new flame and Jolly Roger. I notice the favicon's reverted to white vulture in black circle, as opposed to grey vulture on transparent (as spotted in my infoRSS feed).
As for ads - what ads? The marketing dept. will hate me, but I have ABP permanently enabled...
As for fixed width, surely it wouldn't be too hard to add some code that checks for the screen width, and if it's a small screen, display in fixed-width (to avoid crunching everything up to unreadable proportions), and if it's a large screen, display in %-width.
Thumbs down, as it's one of the few decent new icons, and conveys my sentiments better than the onion (sorry, new look flame)...
Once I've signed out of Google, I count:
Links at top of page - 10
Surrounding the search box - 12 (or 17 if you include the buttons)
Bottom links - 9
Footer - 2
Total: 33 (38)
Sign in to iGoogle and the top links section increases to 14 words (if you count your email address as one). Then ignoring your custom content, there's another 14 words to add (Home, Add a tab, Get Artist Themes | Select Theme | Add Stuff >>, About this theme).
Total: 51 (56)
So perhaps a more accurate magic number would be 75 words?
Never mind the children, I wonder how long it will be before IFAW and friends start moaning about the number of baby goats killed and blended down to a pulp...
Meanwhile, since we're getting rather possessive over apostrophes, here are a few spare ones to scatter around wherever appropriate: '''''
Mine's the one with the bloodstains...
Ah yes, the wonders of Netware (and practically any OS apart from Bill's) - turn 'em on, leave 'em alone. Even installing new software can be done on the fly.
Which reminds me of the infamous document: "How to crash a Novell Network" (or 50 ways to shut down/crash a Netware server) - some of those are distinctly BOFH-ish.
Meanwhile, with the other OS, chances are the wall wouldn't have time to dry before you needed to bash it down to gain access to the server...
Neat idea - instead of merely setting in motion a chain of events which lead to the Boss having an unfortunate (and usually deadly) "accident", keep him alive but milk him for every £ he's got...
But always keep the "unfortunate accident" plans handy for if he gains a clue and starts getting suspicious of the off-site hosting company...
Menus - none. Why do they have to follow the M$ route and get rid of them?
Options - pathetically limited.
Extensions/Addons - none.
Speed - slower than FF, because it downloads and displays all the ads.
I might be brave enough to give it a complete workthrough, but after 5 minutes of playing with it, I closed it and re-launched FF. Menus! Options! Add-ons (esp. ABP)!
