Boris is absolutely correct

* Major sporting events are often linked to an upsurge in demand for prostitution

which is what this article does

* demand for prostitution ... fuels human trafficking.

easy to verify

* he's determined "to crack down on prostitution and human trafficking in the run-up to the London 2012 Games".

who wouldn't be

It's cheap political talk

So we canned the idea

That's not very fair on those who bothered to apply properly.

Ofcom - crushing innovation at every opportunity.

I worked at a handset builder

I got fed up of hearing "if we do that cool thing / don't do that shitty thing we'll never get it on the networks".

I walked.

I've got a G1 atm. (early adopter syndrome) but next time I might just buy one of these :

If you can't admin Linux you should really stay out of the kitchen.

Hostile, elitist and true

Just wait until you elect your Chief Constable

Then the thiefs can be in charge of the fiefdom.

Andy Trotter ?

That sounds like a fake name for a policeman!

I want amateur hour in my living room

but they always switch to encrypted after 15 minutes!!

oh really

> governments had the right to demand access to communications

It doesn't matter who you vote for, the government always wins.

They had to make it a phone

because Google doesn't let non-phones into the Android Marketplace

looks a nice bit of kit, if only anyone would tell us some spec other than the price.

No details of CPU, screen size, screen type (is it multi touch?)

Sergeant: Savage, why do you keep arresting this man?

Constable Savage: He's a villain, sir.

Sergeant: ...A villain.

Constable Savage: And a jailbird, sir.

Sergeant: I know he's a jailbird, Savage, he's down in the cells now! We're holding him on a charge of being caught in possession of curly black hair and thick lips!

pre-mature

Did you mean: premature

just you wait

for the prison break

Neat Trick

That's good planning.

not nice

because the day you get charged by weight for non-recyclables is the day the street dumping starts

if you buy a straight jacket

expect to wear it

Fine for phone-ins

but I don't control what time my SMS messages arrive at their destination.

pfft if you cared that much

you wouldn't iron your clothes.

When I say that one to weekend eco-warriors they get all defensive.

4 giant monitors and a laser printer under the desk, go Al

certification fees ?

> One doesn't hear filmmakers complaining ... for having a film certified

Filmmakers don't pay that fee, it's applied to the distributor.

We show over 100 uncertified films a year in our cinema, we are trusted to self certificate by the local council who look after that sort of thing thanks to Cromwell.

Lol, now TheRegister is trying to kill me

Marketplace Not Archos' fault

Google holds the keys for the Marketplace, it hasn't let any tablet style device under the awnings. So you can't blame that particular shortcoming at Archos' feet (except for making the Android choice).

Shame the reviewer didn't tryand run mPlayer, the Android iPlayer playing app. My Android 1.5 includes a YouTube player, no mention of if that's included.

Second System Syndrome

Strike One

Two more and they're banned from using the internet.

That's the kind of police state I could get behind.

What goes around

People are talking like using Flash cache is something new yet such practice has been around since the 1990s HPC / MPP machines.

Plus la change

No-one will read this far down but ....

When I installed some internet facing machines in a Nottingham police station a few years ago there we had to go to great lengths to label them as internet facing and install a separate LAN for such machines to sit on. The police have a national network already for exchanging data not for public consumption. To find out that a sensitive document was sent in plain text across the internet beggars belief. The rest of the excuses of the how it happened are unimportant. The fault lies right there. That the document was stored on an internet facing machine in plain text should be investigated, not just the poor plod that pressed the wrong button, the button shouldn't be there to be pressed. Woeful.

Ah overexposure

it covers a multitude of sins on crappy models

It's about file sharing is it ?

YHBT by your own govt. with scum like F. Sharkey as their dupe.

This thing's going to get ugly.

No Defence cuts ?

Not really a surprise but surely they can shave off some of the £40b+

http://www.ukpublicspending.co.uk/uk_defence_spending_30.html

Govt. spending has increased by ~£110b in the last two years, and you thought you other half spent too much !

Root / Administrator is a design flaw

All powerful users are a mistake.

see Plan 9 for how to do it properly

Now no-one can watch The Watchmen

Rorschach watching his prositute mother is now illegal.

How about the kidnapped & raped girl being torn to pieces by the dogs.

So many other examples, quite a few on my bookshelf.

Fuck it, as courage wolf says : the cops are at the door, sucks to be them.

round and round and round it goes

Step up Step up, think your universal binary mechanism can take the crown?

Does your virtual machine beat all comers for security and user friendliness ?

Then let's hear about it folks, all you need is mindhsare and users.
