I suspect this particular model won't have too many buyers, due to the massive price and the very negative reviews.

Re: And yet it still lives...

I just ran Winver on my corporate laptop, and got version 1809 (OS Build 17763.973).

I'm not sure what to think now. This laptop works fine.

Re: Not a desktop replacement for Win 10 then

From the looks of the device it is a replacement for your tablet.

I might be interested if it is cheap. But it won't be, so they'll sell 12 of them and scrap the whole project in a year or so.

Re: HPOX?

It may be an attempt to consolidate the industry to the point where competition is limited.

They will then be able to raise prices to pay off all the debt.

Re: Boeing, Boeing

I would argue this bill is an attempt to pour money into Boeing to make up for all the money they will lose on their 737-Max debacle.

Re: Why would Larry discuss the dreaded JEDI project with Pompeo?

money will go a long way in this administration.

Or indeed any administration.

Re: "Roll"

...he is wearing headphones and listening to a very old Genesis song, yum de dum de dum.

Supper's Ready then? Sounds like it.

Re: Consistency Is The Hobgoblin Of Small Minds

I am assuming the US is not taking any chances here.

They will need to get this guy one way or another and don't want to rely on some other country's courts.

Re: I still don't understand

I see ads on TV for 5G (which we don't really have yet) telling us it "will enable new technologies like driverless cars" even though it won't.

Surely it's not out of copyright? He only died in 1882.

Think of his great-grandchildren.

He also took 9 for 52 in the first innings at Brisbane in 1986.

Re: Can the "Five Eyes" be trusted with attribution

It does make sense for Mr. Bridges to make contact with important members of the Chinese government, that is true.

The head of their secret police is an odd choice however.

Why draw the line there?

Probably just repeating what he heard on Fox & Friends.

Re: damp squib?

I can't believe there are 3 commentards who have never seen the IT Crowd.

Oh ha ha! Good one! "Mismanage Brexit"

That sounds like you think there is a way to manage Brexit.

I knew it was aliens. Tricky bugger, yer standard alien.

Re: Taxi Drivers Unite

If you regulate to prevent this type of exploitation, companies will have to find other ways of making money that support the additional costs.

So if Uber can't exploit their drivers they will need to exploit their customers?

That doesn't sound like a business. That sounds like a criminal enterprise.

Re: Dodgy Excuses

Conspiracy theory???

Has the ESA denied they are using this satellite to train foxes to wear bowler hats so that they can take over the world's financial system?

No, they have not.

WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!!!

Re: "Yes, music"

I would pay money to listen to amanfrommars explain the Time Cube.

Re: All express has some great stuff

Sometimes it takes 4 or 5 weeks to arrive at my place, but it seems a bit churlish to complain about free shipping on a $3 pair of headphones.

Re: Question...

I don't think he moved, but ICANN may have taken lessons from him.

Re: Here is a first

I don't think you're wrong necessarily, it's just the fact that Mr. Trump wants to look into the deal because he doesn't like Mr. Bezos that I think is wrong.

There is also the bit:

In particular, the President is unhappy that he wasn't made aware that some Republicans had written complaints about the process to the White House and the military...

which makes me wonder if he has ever paid attention.

I suppose the Republicans' mistake was to write letters. They should have gone on Fox News.

Still seems like an odd way to run a country.

Re: Computer says no.....

MY QNAS box has two NICs and can act as a gateway for the whole network, with DHCP, DNS etc but I don't really trust that device either, so it is behind a pfSense box and acts as disc space only.

Which is what NAS really means as far as I'm concerned.

Re: Fair's fair

The problem might be the future ex-Mrs Bezos taking half of whatever is left.

She seems to have form.

Re: 'knocking Cloudflare over'

Wait, there are other websites?

happened just months after the same cock-up led to millions of records being wrongly gathered

Is the bit that caught my eye.

I think cock-up is the wrong phrase. I think the system is working as designed.

After all, the last time the NSA was caught breaking the law there was no punishment, so why would they stop?

Re: News?

You might think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's nothing compared to space.

Re: Oh the Irony

"...A well-known antivirus security solutions firm does not implement USB access controls..."

And has staff earning a 6 figure salary who sends possibly incriminating evidence using their work email.

Re: Dates? Don't talk to me about dates...

utter poopyhead

Steady on! Mind your language.

Re: 3x cheaper...

Sometimes warships would simply stop merchant ships returning to port and steal their crews.

One of the reasons for the War of 1812 I think.

Still, that ended with His Majesty's brave troops burning the White House down, so a good result.

I read that sub headline in Paul Weller's voice. I know you all did too.

Loyal subjects of Her Majesty will have. Not sure about our American friends.

Re: I'm shocked, shocked, that gambling is going on in this establishment!

I suspect the A/C is just pointing out that the US system runs on corruption.

Re: damp squib

I was expecting so much more from the IT Crowd here at El Reg.

Ah well, maybe my pop culture references are for an older audience.

Re: I've done this

I hate my MacBook Pro

There was a time, not so long ago, when that sentence would never be uttered.

How times have changed.
