XP still works fine over here

If finally, I can't use XP - I won't be on Windows.

Methinks the Penguin calleth!

Lamb Kebab Gang!

Last seen driving off in a stolen Lambaginni !

Heres' my title and word's

Ive' alway's wondered about the'se apostrophe thing's.

Minis?

But didn't they ditch those luvly minis out the back of the moving bus and off the cliffs?

Traditional press are clueless about IT

As are all TV news networks.

Crime and punishment need to be relative

Surely a 'hacker' who is freely allowed access to another computer, does no lasting harm isn't quite the "worst of the worst" in a criminal sense.

Perhaps a politician who takes people into a phoney war, kills thousands and spends trillions of dollars is just, maybe, perhaps, slightly worse....?

Oh, but that's right George W hasn't been charged yet, has he?

The EU is truly the land of the whackies!

In my case, it's a "PC". A Personal Computer = I make the choices of software to load and run.

I hate IE, but what if I wanted to install ALL compatible browsers?

EU = supreme asshats.

Commercial flights not good enough?

Scratch AF1, scrath the fighter escorts.

Send the POTUS on commercial flights, they often have First Class areas.

He's just ONE man, he isn't THAT important.

If he dies, the VP takes over.

If the VP dies as well, then the next guy, ad infinitum.....there are quite a few US Politicians...

AF1 is just a massive waste of money.

Series 7 and 8 bad?

Maybe on a purist RD scale of supreme goodness they were.

But on the intergalactic scale of TV crappiness they were brilliant.

Chicken Marengo please!

Easy

Do go to nigh-clubs (expose yourself to loud music)

Best way to disable to Autorun

I hear that if you uninstall Windows altogether, the problem goes away, as do many others!

All your cards

are belong to us!

Sir, we have been finding your elephant

We are afraid it has being in yet another accident!

Years ago

The North American Indians used to chop down the telegraph poles and use them for fire wood.

Same problem, different material.

Ergo, little has changed.

Cadaver volunteers?

Send 'em all to the mortuary!

Useless munters!

But

I never click on ads.

Ever.

Apollo11

The LEM landing pad will still be there as will the wreckage of the deliberately crashed Eagle.

The pics of the Apollo craft would be great to see - again!

Bucket-O-pool water

Take HDD, drill hole into case or remove any flaps to expose inside.

Take bucket and fill with salty pool water

Immerse HDD in said bucket, watch for bubbles

Season to taste with more pool salt

Add half cup of pool acid and stir gently

Leave stand for 1-2 weeks

Dispose of thoughtfully.

Easy

Find the box it came in

1. Pick up the shiny laptop

2 .Place it in the box it came from

3. Return to sender or sell on eBay

4. $$$

Too silly to use a computer.

Too silly to attend college*.

* although, and from experience this is not normally a problem if I go by the 'educated' idiots I work with.

Someone should tell the Government

That spammers are peddling kiddie nasties!

That will get some action and cash from them!!!

I was only robbin' the register!

What a complete tool.

Yeah, I know

I was playing Duke Nukem 3D and my place was suddenly surrounded by Pig-Cops!

@ Maryland, USA

LOL

"I thank my stars that I work in a country where a company can kick me out on the street with no compensation: It's this very mobility that makes them more willing to hire me in the first place."

Your logic is priceless!

Keep drinking the company kool-aid!

All that money spent on SETI

And all they needed to do was set up more wind turbines!

Fools!

Wikiwhackies Vs Scientologists

Who'd win?

Need charges to lay?

How about housing a child in a seedy two-bit hotel for a start?

I suppose it had vibrating beds too.

Is Sarah the new assistant?

I'd like to see that!

Wrong State facility?

He shouldn't be in prison.

Surely this guy needs more specialist care!

Nineteeen (19)

As many as 19 !!!!

@ Dave Morris

You sir, are far from an ignorant "yank".

Your comments are right.

Tasmania is a State of Australia, if the TD were anything it would be a State animal.

Ref: http://www.csu.edu.au/australia/state-emblems.html#tas

NB: The TD is an unofficial State animal.

The Australian coat of arms includes two native animals, the (red) kangaroo and the emu

(Macropus rufus) and (Dromaius novaehollandiae).

The myth is they were chosen as neither animal is 'able to take a backward step'.

Best wishes to you from Aussie!

Man on Mars

I read somewhere a while ago that the late Carl Sagan estimated a manned Mars mission could run to as much as US$500B.

I think these little dune buggies are great value.

Science: 2

Ignorance: 0

I wonder if [more] women designed rockets....

...would they look so phallic?

Or is aero-dynamics and the greater universe just male orientated?

Perhaps women would design an elongated egg shape?

Paris, she likes it just the way it is!

HELP!

Some dirty chav has just swiped me iPhone!!

Long term business model

1. Give free access to all

2. Muppets sign up in the millions

3. Said muppets give away all kinds of personal info $ post data

4. Servers fil up with muppetesque-data

5. Wot! No $$$$ ?

6. Ransom muppets to "save" their online tat from 'deletion'

7. Profit $$

8. Sell all the PI that is not purchased

9. Profit again $$$$

0. What the heck, sell the 'purchased' data as well, see 9.

Paris

can have access to my privates any day!

Peterborough Horse Box Diving Club

Bravo el Reg, magnificent stuff that!

Also:

@ John B

You sir, made me laugh out loud!

I loved your wildly descriptive piece on the obviously marvelous Peterborough *

Well done also.

* Tongue firmly planted in cheek.

101 uses for a former merchant banker

#1: Soylent Green

You know it makes sense!

Yes, yes, all very interesting I'm sure

But how many mice were involved?

Death-Ray

I ain't doin' no steenking blu-ray!

I'm currently (finally) converting my old vinyl to digital and my VHS tapes to DVD.

These formats (CD and DVD) will do me just fine and dandy.

The marketing wonks can go and blu-ray themselves.

@ Shane Lusby

LOL

They don't call 'em fly-over States for nothin'

Hasta la vista the Vista team?

It's only fair!

He shouldn't have bragged about it

He should have just remained shtum about it. He could have then used the knowledge to his companies advantage by strangely and accurately "predicting" what the other company was up to.

Mind you, if a company are silly enough to put sensitive info on a web server, then they are partly to blame if its accessed. Isn't a web server designed to make data available?

I'm not dead yeeeet!

Yes, you are, list says so.

Get on the cart!

@ Jimmy Floyd

The current Govt is beholden to a small number of mad-christian senators. These god-bothering retards want the whole country to worship the baby-jebus, or failing that to not look at the nekked ladies on the intertubes!! Stop it, or you will go blind!!

These red-neck fundies should get a clue and just get [expletive deleted]!!!

Cheap Chinese cable?

Better use Monster cables next time!

Scientology is a total load of dogs bollocks!

And any person who takes it seriously is either;

A) Quite mad, sad or deluded, or

B) In it for the profit $$$$

But, nut jobs all.

I agree with you!

I've seen newspapers and TV get some of the most famous news images wrong on quite a few occasions.

- The classic image of Buzz Aldrin standing on the moon - said by some media outlets to be Neil Armstrong!

- The even more classic image of Tenzing Norgay Sherpa standing on Mt Everest's summit - said to be Sir Ed Hillary!

If you can't see their faces, even more reason to check your facts!

</rant>

I also agree that the Reg is not included in the above criticism.

IE?

I always thought IE stood for: Infects Everyone
