Re: We are making it simpler @ AC

It is obviously beyond you too.

Re: A casual Observation

Agreed,

Its a similar scene over here in France at the various tech outlets, X-Box seems the only MS attraction.

Re: Dear Article Author

@ "Not any more, I believe. They've actually deleted the full-auto mode on the M16, leaving just the semi-auto and 3-round burst modes. And they've trained their soldiers accordingly, so that they're now more deadly with 3-round bursts than they used to be with full-auto (not hard, because full-auto just wasted bullets, as you noted.)"

Agreed, the M16 is a nice weapon. In a similar move, years ago they shortened the barrel of the Bren gun to give it more spread because you killed them three or four times with the long barrel version.

Re: The pilot's already started

"The pilot's already started" ?

I dont think you are ready for take off, surely you mean 'plot'

Re: With MS I wait for the fourth.

Wasnt it the 2000th go?

I clicked on it?

Really? Isnt that weve been trying to educate users to not do for about 20 years?

"I ran Norton - found nothing...." I wish I had a pound for every time Ive heard or read that.

I suggest you wise up to such 'social engineering' threats, or standby to see your bank account emptied.

Re: Fair play...

Agreed, then they should chop his knob & bollox off.

The sooner they start dishing out much harsher sentences for this sort of crime the better.

I hope

He's going to tell Microsoft to Fuck off.

Do the T&Cs state 'thou shalt not play before Nov 22nd' ? probably not. What a nasty lot they are.

Re: calculators?

Work? I gave up that nonsense years ago.

Its a Jour Farie here in France for Armistice day, so march through village for service at war memorial followed by a petite anisette avec mon voisin.

Re: Ha ha ha @ Petur

"Well, there is a small difference between Google serving you ads based on your data"

No problem if thats what people sign up to. In my opinion Google appears to act as if its beyond the law & on many occasions has shown absolutely no respect for individuals, not to mention their photo cars slurping wireless data. Unfortunately, the subject of law is not a fast moving one & the difference between unethical & illegal an increasingly grey area.

Re: Only if you can pry it from my cold, dead fingers...

Win 2000 = good OS, to be honest not really much wrong with it if you just want to get things done, used it for years.

Re: Perhaps when @ westlake

"Users are directly engaged in the business of their employer --- some of them at a very high level."

That made me chuckle.

& when I left, all ran well for a while, until...

Re: This lot.....

& justifies the use of hollow point ammunition.

Re: I'll be damned

Agreed, perhaps some one turned over the rather faded 1993 calender to 2013 & discovered its time to start getting things right.

Re: Just last week I upgraded

Well done,

I must admit the words Microsoft & Upgrade always send a shudder down my spine, so good luck with that.

Re: The wrong way

Agree entirely, XP is second with about 33% share thats a vast potential chunk of revenue, even if they just charged a tenner a year for extended support.

Re: Why?

BT are utter shite & treat their customers like crap because for everyone that leaves theres probably two customers stupid enough or coerced into signing up, a lot of financial directors of small companies are in charge of IT (in the loosest sense of the word) there are a few who know their stuff but most dont.

IDNet provided our broadband with First Telecom for calls, both fantastic companies.

Re: Road Safety

& control of any devices made via buttons on the steering wheel, like we do now so seems a bit pointless to me!

Re: France isn't too bad

Second that, mon ami,

& when we call 0870 rip off numbers in UK, we just use saynoto0870.com

Re: The engine

Agreed, along with revving the bollox off it before every thing's warmed up to normal operating temperatures.

Cars may have changed a great deal but the laws of physics governing expansion / contraction haven't.

Re: Billion Android Phones.

"Why would anyone target Windows Phone?"

If one got nicked the thief would be pretty disappointed

Perhaps

He had a Lebanese paper round? dosnt look too happy either

Re: It's OK

Yup, its been in a drawer somewhere for about the last 5 years.
