Re: Does anyone think this is a good thing?

I have had to use my wife's iphone and brother's android phone at times. I'd rate both as being inferior in every regard (except the size (although perhaps not the quality) of the app store) to my Q10. However I suspect that lots of people here would disagree with me (I know a lot of people in my office do). One person's second rate is another’s productivity platform.

Re: A complete waste of time

It's time to get out!

It would be nice if she in doors could watch streaming to the TV and I could play on-line streaming from my xbox to my laptop. Bonus if I can keep them if we switch to another network.

Amazon and ebuyer keep having what seems like good routers on sale. Guess I'll check the modem only thing and then take the plunge.

Re: Which VPN?

thanks.

Re: Accident waiting to happen.

I know why OS developers put this stuff in but I'd rather have it as an application than baked into the OS. I haven't been able to completely scrub onedrive from Windows yet.

Re: James 51

All fine in theory perhaps because we know the people hoovered up data like this always obey the rules and it is never abused.

Stuff like this is obviously going to be of interest to a sizeable portion of el reg's readership. Just because you aren't using it doesn't mean it isn't being used.

Re: Reviews

Crackberry gave it a good review (no surprise there I suppsoe) but android central did as well too.

Re: Wut?

Outsourcing the story telling is lazy at best and incompetent at worst. 343 should have found a way to work it in. Understanding what was going on did help the cut scenes hang together though.

Voyager is the weakest trek series but it had it's moments (Year of Hell would have been great if they hadn't hit the reset button at the end). Enterprise picked up in it's last two seasons. DS9 is still my favourite probably for the reason that most of the people I know who like trek don't like it. It was possible for stuff that happened before to come back and bite people in sensitive places rather than just flying away and never hearing from it again.

Re: Cameron reminds me of an ancient Danish King

He walked out into the tide to show his court there were limits to his power. Call me Dave it seems is doing the same but is expecting the tide to change on his command.

Re: Ummm

That would be adhering to good design principles. However it is more likely that someone will leave the site when using the browser than an app and that's all they really care about.

The passenger side airbag can be deactivated by turning a switch on most cars so children in rear facing seats can be put in that seat. I'll leave the gruesome details of what could happen if the airbag is deployed till after breakfast.

Re: God's net worth

There's the art work which could correctly be termed priceless so that alone makes it hard to pin down how much the church has. Of course if they could never sell it, does it still belong in the asset column?

Re: @AC and I'm curious how you think you'll do on your own...

Take it with a pinch of salt but:

The economy of the European Union generates a GDP (nominal) of about €14.303 trillion (US$18.451 trillion in 2014) and a GDP (PPP) of about €12.710 trillion (US$16.773 trillion in 2014) according to International Monetary Fund,[1] which makes it the largest or second largest economy in the world respectively if treated as the economy of a single country depending on a source used.

They have engineers here and they have sales people too. It's just that the sale people, the customer and the docuements they sign are teleported to Dublin for the few seconds it takes to sign them.

Re: Masturbation

A lot more difficult for the little nipper to pick up and use when you're not there and you're less likely to set your arm down somewhere and then forget where it is when the break comes on.
