Re: > the then world's biggest parachute

Both. It was a typo after the well-deserved knocking-off after that glorious sub-head.

It should have been written ...the then worlds' biggest parachute...

Re: Hmm

I don't know.. but they sure as hell try!

Insiders say the demand for even faster USB is ludacris, however their reaction to a proof of concept USB 8.0 was "They've gone Plaid!"

TFTFY

Re: If there are so many snakes, what are they eating?

Or decide to change their diet and go for something more hominid - like the infant child.

Re: Consensus is not science

It's a shame you posted as A/C. That is perhaps the best point to be made in all of this debacle.

Consensus is not science, and if you have to rely on it as a persuasion tool, you are not in a scientific debate, but rather a social one.

Re: Next challenge

Abacus - Bah! Too much human interaction.

Maybe Babbage's Difference Engine or perhaps a variant of the antikythera mechanism.

Re: And there's always...

Of Course

Re: The truth is out there?

You may want to give AMfM his 'stuff' back; it's obviously a bit much for you.

I can actually agree with that. It raised "bad" to an art form.

NSA does not jail people, they collect information which may lead to jailing people if that information implicates them being part of a terrorist plot of being someone "we don't like".

Also there are tens of millions at the south side of the Mediterranean, waving the Koran at us and cutting heads off. (me:Then why do they want to surveail people on the west side of the Atlantic that have never held a Qoran?)They are the same threat to us as the communists were, except they waved with "the red booklet of Mao", both live in failed societies and want to bring their failure to us.

Me: El Reg, can we PLEASE get the "You are completely insane" voting button?

Re: Stuffing up the rank-and-file for Corporate benefit?

Ah. In that case, she should be running as a Democrat.

Re: "mwahh" is a kissing sound?

"I am an evil genius and my plan to take over the world is about to bear fruit." is spelled "Mwuhaha".

Addition: If one were to create a graphic without using any El Reg provided works, it obviously would not be a derivative work, and the copyright would be held solely by the creator. In this case, submission should grant El Reg a non-exclusive licence to use, and redistribute, the work ...continued as above.

2) SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE

4) THIS IS SOMETHING

5) THIS MUST BE DONE!

...Seems Legit.

Re: Cats already out of the bag

If they're blanket jamming, the cell signals won't get through anyway.

And to propose an answer to your question: a long fuse?

Windows Mobile v6 - Ok, you'll need to rewrite all your apps for Windows Phone 7

Windows Phone 7 - Ok, you'll need to rewrite all your apps for Windows Phone 8

Windows Phone 8 - Ok, you'll need to rewrite all your apps for Windows Phone 10 Android

FTFY

Re: this happened because....

This is AOL's software doing the dialing... I wouldn't rule out random change. And it was dialing into an AOL number, just one that was long distance, so that rules out a porn dialer. A simple case of bit-rot where in the AOL crapware decided that his location had changed to Saskatchewan and changed his diaul-up number accordingly seems most likely.

Re: Living on..

I think Neil Barnes's menu for the week disproves your assertion about winding up in the doctor's. With proper planning and awareness of dietary needs, it is indeed possible to survive on the given budget, but not easy, and not necessarily pleasant.

Re: Too stupid to know any better

Valid point. I think they stenciled 'FNORD' on the sides of them....
