Stop being silly

There wouldn't be such a thing as the moon, it would be carved up and sold off at the earlist opportunity and each individual would need a license to look at the sky ;)

At last...

... someone who remembers the facts.

With that, the job centre should have told the waster to eff off as they booted him out. No doubt he'll now claim he can't look for a job cause they won't repect his right to wear a cheap imitation movie prop.

Yes

It is syndicate, that's 2 mentions in the same thread now, I still have it at home, need to find a hack now to get it working again I fancy carving up a town and it's folk with minigun equipped cyber agents.

Still no chance...

... you forgot you'll need even more processing power now to deal with HD 3D, I seriously don't want a phone with all that capacity and power sitting that close to my knackers.

Google clearly have the head up their own cloud!

(Reg, we seriously need a 'Do be Evil' Google icon)

Afternoon tea, you know the rules...

... a decent one please, no cheap rubbish ;)

(Thankfully avoided the screen)

Adobe are lazy...

... with a lot of things, not just flash.

Also...

... the Amiga was a true multi-tasking machine which took advantage of it's RISC based chipset.

It was with a heavy heart I read about the demise of the Amiga (Commodore), just think if they had better commercial sense where computers could be today if the Amiga platform and it's Workbench OS had been continued to be developed.

More to the point

You can't ask Apple to shut down one of it's main production runs and forsake some profit just because some 3rd world factory doesn't conform to the same standards where the Apple HQ is based.

Let's face it, Apple are in less of a position to do something about it than people think, it's got nothing to do with Jobs, it's all about the shareholders. The attitude is more like "a few kids don't matter so why kill a chunk of profit, run a few reports, do a bit of investigating and tell everyone not to get caught again".

General Public = All you can shoot buffet

"I would be sent to prison on the basis of pretty much each daily commute." or trip to the shops, going to the cinema, <insert popular past time here that involves mingling with the moronic public>

Bet your last pound...

... that a stream will be considered a broadcast.

At the end of the day when a TV Licensing van is driving round trying to catch the non-payers all that van will hear on it's parabolic mic is house no.xx is watching spooks and there's no license on the database for it. Expect a fine and no way out of it :(

I'm further south...

... and my 3G signal from T-Mobile is fine where I live.

That's great...

... but how much is your average phone bill a month?

That's where the true cost of the iPhone is met

Nail on the head

"Clerks is the best (specifically the Death Star II contractor conversation) with Dogma a very close second."

Words of wisdom, completely agree :)

Asking a bit much

You want a subsidy and a decent network yet you want to take away one of their revenue streams, you can't have your cake and eat it.

The bun supply is limitless for those deserving.

I didn't use the 'N' word and I'm still waiting for one of your buns,ok you may find my pestering annoying but where I come from you should never underestimate the use of the phrase 'free bun'.

Sorry, I think it's...

... 'ghasted'

Add-ons

I think Apple have lost a lot of market by having all these add-ons, most poeple want an all-in-one device without having to buy loads of add-ons to get the functionality they want.

Will no-one think of the bag/pocket space/children

(The fail is for Apple not your comments)

Effect

Causes a mild euphoric feeling, in the victorian times the upper classes used to drink sweet tea and smoke and that was one of the most popular past times/vices, hence why "tea rooms" were so prevalent at the time.

@ Ian - Sorry I tried...

... but it would only let me upvote your post the once.

Consider this the x1000 upvote

Your not alone...

... and I'm still not convinced it's a good route to go down. I'd also like them to call it what it is which is Mainframe computing and ignore the marketing twonks for once.

oh my lord!!

Your going to be hauled in front of a War Crimes tribunal for genocide soon, far too much violence.

Blimey

I spent £400, like most average people will, but your point still holds true. The average joe isn't going to want to spend another £400 that soon.

oh dear...

... it appears hyperthermia is now pandemic then as I too have seen these symptoms being exhibited by many I work with.
