It's Japan - the most popular channel would be the humanoid robots doing it with each other .... with tentacles ....

Re: And is IT Almighty?

Did you get a producer credit ?

Only if you allow laterals

And Throckmorten's rule is not applied

Re: CO2 uptake

But with paper isn't the best strategy to vastly increase the amount of paper used, and hence the number of new trees planted, so long as you never destroy the paper ?

If we were to print the 500 page report on this and send it to everyone to put in the attic we could meet our climate goals.

Re: Amercian ?

The 'he' in the quote being Trump - so why are you surprised?

Re: Action Fraud

Only if it's reported to the police by action fraud

Re: Erm....

Paying money to skip to the front of the line of the peasants is the most fundamentally American thing you you can do so the card proves your are a true patriot.

it's also available to Canadian's but we feel guilty about using it.

Re: "Export Ban on Pfizer's Erectile Dysfunction Pill"

The USA banned exports of oil to have a strategic petroleum reserve

We will have a strategic stiffy reserve....

In practice you have 4 choices.

Replace the entire box with a new 5g version.

Add a separate converter box to 5g

Pay the telco whatever they demand to use the valuable bandwidth for your kit instead of new business.

Or pay more to lobby to keep 2G than all the telcos and internet giants are paying to lobby for 5g

Re: Snark away

>CRVX? Maybe I'm just not up with euphemisms from the youth of today, but I can't help feeling I'm missing something.

sorry it was Crew 'Return' Vehicle (I suppose Rescue sounds bad) and yes somebody at Nasa did decide that CRV-X sounded like cervix and that was close enough to a lady's front parts that it was obscene and so the project was renamed to X-CRV before being scrapped as a totally failure.

IIRC it was reported and widely mocked on el'reg at the time

Re: US ban is little to do with security

> Getting cut off from support would be a significant challenge for most mobile operators, even with source code, firmware and detailed documentation.

Like if your new carrier aircraft had their engines serviced in a foreign country your boss had just sworn to destroy the economy of.

It was Fibre to THE home, that home now has fibre so job done

Re: Old Captains motto

Which is why I. G. Farben's share price is so high today

Re: One difference

Australians are too modest to be interested in sporting success.

If you win at cricket or rugby you don't expect to make a big fuss about it in Australia

Re: Academics

Don't worry I'm sure people like Rees-Mogg will manage to profit whatever happens

Re: Teams...

Squirrel! What the steaming FAT32 have squirrels got to do with an enterprise messaging platform?

Or do I just assume that the whole thing was designed by 5 year olds.

Jesus was most probably born in 3BC

That's what you call a premature birth!

Re: 19H2?

I thought 19H2 was the name of Rees-Mogg's plan to build a steam train from London to Birmingham ?

Re: outsource to China?

They aren't students they are customers.

Anybody paying you 9grand a year for a degree is entitled to a nice shiny one

But the speed of light in Fibre is 35% slower. Real gamers only use microwave links.

Re: Human rights

>unlike Micro-shaft, *I* put *THE CUSTOMER* *FIRST* !!!

So you are a socialist and therefore shouldn't be allowed to bid for government work.

I promise to shaft the customer, outsource the work to 3rd world children, avoid paying tax and put the shareholders first - so I should get the government contract.

(I have also invested in a functioning CAPS-LOCK key, but I claimed R&D tax credits for that.)

Hong Kong was a banking center offshore of a massive growing economy.

It had a 'light touch regulation' when it came to money laundering and tax evasion

It had lots of intelligent hard working educated people

... Post B word we will have a banking center with no regulation offshore of a large economy in recession staffed by a bunch of Eton wkrs that just got kicked out of government

Well, In the words of meatloaf, 1 out of 3 ain't bad
