Not so safe, actually.

".... And the hysterical levels of security which surround fissionable fuels would be unnecessary, as fusion juice can't be made into an atomic bomb"

Can't help but think there will need to be much the same hysterical levels of security. The waste is (relatively) short lived and (Relatively) less radioactive than fuel or plutonium etc. It would, however, still be an attractive proposition for some psychotic ne'er do well to use to demonstrate the calm logic of his argument, by chucking a kilo or so into somewhere very public and very vital for business.

That all reminds me someone within the nuke power industry telling me that, if the coal tips at Eggborough coal power station were actually on a nuclear site, they'd be categorised a low, possibly intermediate, level waste because of the natural radioacivity in the coal.

Anyone fancy a nutty slack bomb?

PS Is it the way I read it, or does starting that sentence in the article with "And" look wrong?

Yeah, right

"lyrics, artwork and tour dates to blog posts, videos and Twitter feeds"

Why? Not all music lovers are cretins.

Sounds like another dose of "Web 2.0" and "an enhanced listening experience"

Crank that whalesong up to 11 (and DRM it to buggery)

And if the record industry thinks I'm gonna trust them with fumbling around inside my PC - especially after the malware that Sony tried to foist on everyone - may I just say: FOAD.

Any odds how long before the first exploit?

(Can we have a FOAD icon, please)

I for one

Welcome our crusty, mango chucking overlords

May the pips be with you

That's not Styrofoam!

It's MERINGUE!

May I for one

Thank our Crayfish Sarnie Munching Overlords for the wrong kind of snow on the leaves.

I would just like to say

HAPPY 2016 EVERYONE!!

Can I really retire next year?

Bing - Bong

Nope: Bing - Wrong

Interesting coincidence

That this article was sharing the page with yet another fscking animated Jaguar advert.

Jaguar were once had th eimage of an upmarket car manufacturer. Not any more.

Of course........

If the popupa cpome from a seprate URL (wwhich they probably will) then it would be a simple expedient for anyone with the slightest idea of how to actuallty use a computer wil be able to block those (hosts file etc.).

That leaves those who would be too thick or unwilling to practice security. Job Done

Use Yahoo?

Yeah, right.

As much as I'd use any company that distributed its applications like malware - semi-hidden on the installers of completely unrelated bits of software.

Magnetics like that sounds strangely..................

Attractive

Sauce for goose = sauce for gander

OK Google. You have my data.

Can I have yours?

Its all in the way you look at it

"The arrival of Windows 7 gives them the opportunity to replace aging PCs with machines boasting faster processors, larger memory, and hard drives."

H'mmm. Shouldn't this be:

The demise of support for Windows XP gives them no option but to replace perfectly good, working PCs with machines boasting faster processors, larger memory, and hard drives, simply to run Windows 7 adequately.

What?!?!

SHARE the awards (And beer) with THE BOSS?

What happened to KZRRRRRRRRT!

What happened to the Tape Safe?

What happened to the inconveniently missing guardrail?

Bloody Impeerial units.

Isn't it about time we fully embraced the metric system?

I, for one, think we should refrain from using the term "Spend a penny" and instead refer to it as "Euronating"

You want me to host your crud on my PC?

Then you ASK.

Your site may change. If you don't ask each time I won't know.

@By Matt 13

Ah yes, Would that be the same open friendly Sony who tried to install rootkits when one played one of their infected REDACT REDACT protected disks?

Written like a truly dedicated Xbox gamer!

Hang on

"capacitive and faradaic energy storage functions"

Aren't these different names for the same thing?

Or isn't a Farad a measure of capacitance?

@Ed Blackshaw

No, Grimplestiple is a verb: To stimp in a grimply fashion

Two words for which there is, as yet, no meaning.

Thus making to grimplestiple into ungrimplestiple.

Does anyone remember JobStocks?

Delightful electronic and techie surplus store off Hoe Street, Leytonstone London area, if memory serves me right.

@max allan

It's "Also Sprach Zarathustra" (Thus Spoke Zarathustra) by Richard Strauss.

Best played loud.

So there.

And while we're on the subject of RingBack tones, how about: "I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that"

Here's an idea, Sun

Start acting like a PROFESSIONAL software company and quit trying to install the fscking Yahoo toolbar with Java updates.

Acting ike that is what malware purveyors do.

You know

I wish my girlfriend was that dirty

Why are turds tapered?

Questions questions

Baguette - for get who dumped it, just tell me - was there mayonnaise?

frikkin.

Installation on Tosh Sat Pro 4600 (Yeah, THAT old) failed to the Black Screen of Indifference. (BSI)

Thanks, but no thanks, Mr Fry or no Mr Fry.

Looks like something out of a whales nose

also, is it actually a little low sportie number that's been parked the wrong way round in a shopping trolley?

"should of checked befoe sending"

H'mm. Don'tt you mean:

"Should HAVE checked."

or

"Should've"

Certainly should have checked before sending!

@ HansG

You think so? I can assure you the latter is perfectly real and it's effects can be highly unpleasant.

If I recall correctly, there is confirmed evidence of physical changes in the brains of diagnosed sufferers

Just this:

OOK?

What parasiteware will be bundled?

Every Java update comes laced with that fscking Yahoo toolbar. Nine times out of ten I catch the preticked install box but every so often I have to uninstall the crapware.

What will applications from the store be laced with? Sorry, but until Sun can demonstrate its professionalism with Java, I'll invoke bargepole rules.

Trust Lloyds?

About as far as I could chuck the Stock Exchange building.

Unsolicited phone calls, ignoring requests to stop and advice that the person they were trying to contact didn't live there any more.

Promises - repeated oh, so many times and in writing too - which were broken.

Calls not returned

money disappearing

Letters sent to addresses advised long ago as no longer current.

And that was just my son.

I did have a Lloyds credit card but after benefit of contact with them I decided it simply wasn't worth the risk.

Even then the bank wouldn't accept a signed written instruction to close the card account, because it "wasn't secure" - I did ask how a cheque (you know, signed written instruction) worked if I sent it through the post, but I never did get an answer.

@Matt89

"how to leverage it"

<grimaces>

Oooh I can just see it now

Mozilla today warned of spoof popups which claim to be from the security plugin service and state that your PC is vulnerable to hacking. The warning directs you to install a "critical update" which is, in reality a backdoor trojan installer.

Yeah. Right

Its all about how much they care

Look at it this way: While a seler is trying to woo you as a new customer, they need to convince you that they are great. Once they've won you as a customer the heat is off and they can drop the game a bit.

OK, so if a seller is trying to woo me by in-your-face advertising, behavioural advertising, profiling and the rest, then I just don't want to know.

They may have the nicest and best product going, but if they are prepared to treat me like crap when they are supposed to be winning me as a customer, then I wonder just how much worse will they treat me once the heat is off?

Nope.

Sell to me, not at me.

I'm not technically literate

But I do have a very large mallet.

Fnarrr fnarrr

That's all - apart from a request for a Playmobil re-enactment

Is that anything to do with a northern relative of Winnie the Poo's donkey friend EeeAww?

Coat.

Does this use TeleAtlas maps?

You know, the ones that say Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man don't exist

Can we please have............

..........an "I need a new keyboard" icon.

“It was a whole brick when I started, and yes, true.” - Priceless.

Why not

Just shove a handsfree into every car with an interface that grabs the phone and dials 112. No new phones needed. No extra contract, a handsfree in every car and a good resason to use it.

Green slime? Forget Schwarzenegger

Where are Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver and the rest of the Ghostbusters cast?

And why no green slime icon?

And what's happened to the BOFH?
