So I suppose that the prisons will be closed too and while were at it, let's just close down the internet and then set fire to Afghanistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen etc. (oooops some of that has already started)...

Re: Are you sure that they read your fingerprints !!

And when I am in the darkness, I will slow down and do some spell checking.

Re: customers should conduct rigorous penetration tests

And your colleagues for this mission will be Morgan Frogman and Tim Cruise. ( I have been assured that they are both nearly as good as the originals)

Re: PHB united

They are both the same business really, they spend their time extracting sums of money from their punters.

Re: DDBs?

If you stack them vertically are they still consider as Double Deckers ?

Re: For people who cannot they see the wood for the trees

That all depends on the kind of forests you are cutting down

If it's 5 year old pine trees, I really don't think that it would matte to much.

If it is 200 year old Oak trees than that's not quite the same cup of tea.

If it's the Amazon rainforest in it's original condition then ........<insert castration method here>

"scooter riders wearing german army-style helmets complete with nazi swastika decorations"

Replace "scooter" with "Harley" and that description could easily represent your local Hells Angels/Bandidos outfit....

I am sure that I can cope without a smart watch for the rest of my life.

Re: Data perverts ?

Frank.ly, it's the dilemma of using HQ to represent only a single word... It should only be 3 letters but the 4 letter versions rings better. GCH doesn't sound quite as cool as GCHQ..

Re: hmmm... I wonder if there's a new rule

No, quite the opposite, they will even supply you the key according to one of today's articles..

Re: Easy

Nietzsche would have found this your approach a lit bit Nilistic..... groan......

Re: Automatic weapons?

"What I find interesting is that where I live in Europe"

I would hazard a guess that you live in Switzerland, Luxembourg or possibly the Czech Republic.

Semi-automatics in Europe are not difficult to possess, fully automatics are generally much more difficult or completely illegal. Here in France "Fully Automatic" is a class A licence ie : A Weapon of War, and therefore forbidden. I believe that this is the case with most European countries as the the classification in France recently changed in order to comply with most of the others countries. I know that there are countries with exceptions but there are not many, hence my guess at CH, LU or CZ.

Re: lunchtime!?

I am sure that restoring eveyone's data back to 2010 would go down real well, you would very quickly become their favourite administrator..... Just be carefull of anyone that carries a heavy metal bar in their handbag/coat pocket.

Re: WTF

Agreed, actually showing the "whole" car would have been a lot more usefull than a dainty little pic of a dashboard....

Re: Big problems for humanity... are exploitable vulnerabilities/zeroday trading opportunities?

"The biggest problem facing humanity....is XXXXXX. The sooner the great unwashed start to think for themselves and wise up to the fact that it's all smoke an mirrors and dogma only serves to make good men do evil things, the better or all of us."

XXXXX could be replaced by several things

Religion, Politics, Publicity, Money, Royalty, etc etc take your pick.

I mistook Nadella for Tom Cook, thinking that it was just some El Reg irony. The other guy could have been Wozniak after a haircut and shave...

Re: Anybody not running through a VPN deserves what they get, bedbugs and all.

"But I guess for you it's also easy to grow, and maybe kill, your food, sewn your clothes, and build your transport vehicles."

I can do VPN and all of the above except for building transport vehicles but that is nothing that can't be resolved by using the same tools as those used in the killing of the food scenario.

Re: Solution

"Why do it discretely? Just do them all in one batch."

A good example of an optimised process and much quicker than simple attrition.

Re: Balancing the accounts.

"If Microsoft give them a free and legitamate copy, then they're not pirates anymore. Problem solved!"

Since they will be installing over a pirated copy, which will probably get flagged during the installation....they will effectively now be using a legitimate copy of windows but will have been flagged as previously being pirates and therefore will get monitored slightly more closely than everyone else.

It's my conspiracy theory for the day....
