@Kenny Millar

"Describing the current economic downturn as a 'clusterfxxk' is just base, playground level articulation and reveals the level of your intellect."

But very accurate indeed.

Personally I'd have been more alliterative and used the term: "Credit Clusterfxxk" but there again, that's just personal taste, or lack thereof.

Paris?

Well cluster whatever.

Phorm

Made you look!

Does this stuff things for Phorm/NebuAd etc?

I know they don't collect your IP data, but they DO need to differentiate one target from another and issue one with a serial number.

Interesting

Coppers nab more mobe-yapping drivers

Fluffykins Silver badge

Fine? OK

Buit please add "And having the offender's phone stomped on in public at the roadside before being shoved up their rectum."

Actually that's probably a bit harsh.

Just shove it..

NASA probe finds opals in Martian crevices

Fluffykins Silver badge

Opals in the crevices eh?

i knew a girl like that once.

Microsoft faces second 'black screen' lawsuit

Fluffykins Silver badge

Just a thought.

If it's genuwhine Windows then sure, Miscroshaft owns the software and licences it to you and there's b-all you can do about it.

On the other hand, If it is a copy then one may have indeed bought it from someone other than Microsoft.

The fake licence is not Microsoft's (Er...It's a fake)

The software isn't genuine, so Microsoft are actually trampling all over a product a d platform which is not actually heirs to trample over.

The words "hoist" and "petard" spring to mind.

Samsung Innov8 i8510 eight-megapixel cameraphone

Fluffykins Silver badge

I never get high pixel camera phones

My lad bleats about having an 8M Pixel camera in his phone, yet he only ever looks at the images (as do probably 99% of people using a camera phone) on the phone's own display which is what? 77k pixel, or a similar resolution on line image.

Come on; VGA resolution would be an overkill.

Even then, what about the tiny bit of glass bead laughingly called a lens on most camera phones. Compare that to the lens of even a half decent budget camera.

As far as I can see, I get better results out of my old FX2800. Even when set to 1M Pixel esolution.

Someone, somewhere, is being taken for a ride.

BAE's bandwidth blimp-bot takes off (indoors)

Fluffykins Silver badge

dirigible, blimp or airship

IAs far as I know, the terms zeppelin, dirigible and airship are used interchangeably for any type of rigid airship, with the term blimp alone used to describe non-rigid airships.

So, is it rigid or not?

Just pretend there's a Paris Hilton icon there.

BMW unwraps electric Mini

Fluffykins Silver badge
Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton

'cos she likes a deep discharge

Fluffykins Silver badge

It's not a frikkin' Mini

The Mini was a really small, relatively low-cost car.

This is just an average hatchback size wagon with a styling that gives a nod to the old Mini lines, and sporting a stuck on name badge BMW purchased at a probate house sale.

It'd never fit down an Italian sewer.

Fluffykins Silver badge

Can I be the first person to say......

.........ready for when the first electric Mini battery goes bang:

"Oi i only said to blow the bloody doors off"

Ah. Will it improve Vista?

McCain laptop theft sparks conspiracy theories

Fluffykins Silver badge

Of course it isn't a problem

Someone running for the presidentcy of even the worlds richest third world country will obviously have his security nailed down.

After all, simple things like locking the office door and encrypting any files on any computer would come with the job.

Wouldn't it?

Well, one out of two is a start.

But scarcely confidence-building.

Can we have a "Daft Pillock" icon, please?

Malaysian blogger 'detained' for two years

Fluffykins Silver badge

Huh?

A religion or Deity must be pretty weak if it needs cops to lock up anyone who criticises it.

Even my (Pretty good) boss copes with criticism better than that and, depite what he tries to maintain, he ain't even remotely omnipotent.

Actually, its been a while since the RSU (Reg System of Units) had an airing.

and, @ AC - Wasn't there a land speed record attempt fairly recently that busted the sound barrier? At STP? And the driver survived?

If that doesn't slap the pendulous jowls of established wisdom with the gauntlet of disregard, I dunno what does
