Re: @ Dan 55

It works elsewhere, but you are talking about taking an interconnected market without tariffs and applying tariffs to it. Products made in the UK from raw materials and parts from the EU or raw materials or parts from the UK used in products made in the EU suddenly get more expensive. What's going to happen is that products are going to be made in the EU with raw materials or parts from the EU.

Secondly if there's a disorderly exit there will be no procedures in place to export from the EU to the UK and the other way round and business could be breaking the law if they import or export to/from the UK.

Just think about it for a while (well the time to do that was before the referendum, but anyway).

I could see the UK moving to the EEA as a positive thing if it's done right, but I don't believe Brexit as the Tory party currently envision it for one minute will turn out to be good for the UK.

Re: How?

Yahoo still needs to be a thing as otherwise they've spent 4 billion dollars on a bunch of e-mail accounts, mostly spam traps and inactive.

Here's some catching up for you...

They're not new to the job if they came from Blackberry which supplies QNX in-car systems.

Or supplied... what have Blackberry got left?

Re: Android is less than desperate

And then just to add insult to injury, Samsung add TouchWiz.

Re: "...how different the Mediaeval view of the world was from our own"

Go to one of the tabloid websites and look at the comments. We're already there.

They wouldn't need to stop selling the iPhone, they'd just cancel ApplePay in Oz.

Re: Yes, they look beautiful

You could say the same about any form of transport except perhaps the Tardis.

Re: Making money

El Reg decided not to run it on mobile phones as the results of the Note 7 closed beta test were suboptimal.

Re: Interfering mice

Unfortunately some computers and devices get into a state where they completely ignore Bluetooth if something goes wrong booting, but if you use a USB wireless adaptor it will be seen as a standard USB keyboard or mouse which works unless something is seriously screwed.

Hmm, I'm highly suspicious about this. Bit code would not inflate the size of the binary to anything like that extent, if at all.

The article suggests the final binary shouldn't be inflated but the extra bitcode means you might come up against your upload limit when trying to get it on the store if you compile with Xcode 8.3 whereas before you didn't with Xcode 8.2.

Re: I'm sure how much contactless fraud is

Sorry. I was actually a bit busy, things got so bad I had to cut down my El Reg browsing time.

Re: Calculator App Win 10

Not when it starts off maximised.

Try and resize a Win32 executable's maximised window. You need to restore it to normal size first before you can drag the sides/corners. I wouldn't even try to resize it before restoring it because that's the way it's worked since Windows 3.1 or before.

TIFKAM does not offer expected behaviour.

Re: So wrong

It depends on the kind of legislation. Parliament can propose changes or may be limited to just accepting or rejecting.

There are other kinds of legislation which do not involve Parliament, i.e. Commission only or Commission + Council.

Parliament doesn't have initiative, i.e. it can't propose laws, the Commission has that.

Re: changing opinion

- There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.

- Are there? What are they? Tell us. - Do they hurt?

- Tell me, what do you do with witches?

- Burn them!

- And what do you burn, apart from witches?

- More witches! - Wood!

- So why do witches burn?

- 'Cause they're made of wood? - Good!

- How do we tell if she is made of wood? - Build a bridge out of her.

- But can you not also make bridges out of stone?

- Oh, yeah.

- Does wood sink in water?

- No, it floats. - Throw her into the pond!

- What also floats in water?

- Bread. - Apples.

- Very small rocks. - Cider! Great gravy.

- Cherries. Mud. - Churches.

- Lead. - A duck!

- Exactly.

- So, logically--

- If she weighs the same as a duck...

- she's made of wood.

- And therefore?

- A witch!

- A duck! A duck! - Here's a duck.

- We shaIl use my largest scales.

- Burn the witch !

- Remove the supports!

- A witch!

- It's a fair cop.

- Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?

- I am Arthur, king of the Britons.

Re: Possible plan

1. I wouldn't be so sure that data on a factory reset phone couldn't be read, unless it were encrypted (in which case the key is thrown away when you factory reset effectively making the data unreadable).

2. An obviously non-new phone with a new shiny out-of-the-box software experience might be grounds for further questioning, with rubber gloves.

Speaking of horses of a different colour...

Re: Multiprocess

It could be an incompatible add-on. Use about:support to find out if it's disabled and the Add-on Compatibility Reporter extension to check which add-ons are incompatible.

Re: They're all getting away with it

And didn't the competitors increase their prices because BT put them up previously?

What a virtuous circle.

Re: Once glaring omission

Useful for Macs (APFS coming soon) and external/network drives formatted for use for Time Machine backups though.

Either they got his ICR which shows new connections to WhatsApp's servers at that time or they did as the Daily Mail did and added his number to someone else's contact list and got his last online time or both.

I imagine the later arrests were made based on phone calls and standard text messages from his phone, not WhatsApp.

Is his WhatsApp meta data or contact list available? Possibly not since end-to-end encryption rolling out. If the contact list is available then it's something WhatsApp (the company) can provide.

Do they have his phone? I'd like to think that the answer is they don't because if they do then they have everything they need but those deaths are being using as an excuse to go after e2e encryption anyway.
