Re: Oh come on. @Flatpackhamster

exactly.

if it had been AFTER the election (skipping over the fact the tories would probably have come third!) then the argies could have BOUGHT the malvinas for a photo of a five pound note and a million pound donation to tory central office

Re: Oh come on.

the falklands was bollocks, could have been sorted diplomatically, but she couldnt resist the pr of waving off out gallant boys... to what exactly? sinking a hospital ship, way outside the theatre, and heading further away. thank god WE were the good guys, and selling our soul to a PROPER evil right wing fuck like pinochet was cheap at half the price.

Thatcher was in charge, we were in the wrong.

Thatcher was in charge, she was in the wrong.

fixed it for you.

you think 'what about the vegetables' was a joke???

Re: Oh come on.

wtf???

Re: Oh come on.

Well the basic mistake of the assange team here is that they didn't help prop up a massively unpopular UK govt in staging a phoney war in the south Atlantic, nor allow their banking system to be used as a live test bed for the new 'I'm alright Jack, Fuck You' political system that thatch was experimenting with at the time. I mean,. be practical about it, whats the civil rights of a few hundred thousand people when set against... the total deregulation of the finance sector, giving us derivatives and sub-prime mortgages, and insider dealing and all of the other wonderful things that issued forth from the cantankerous xenophobic harridan.

Re: Cloud talk

'although it's frustrating that the price doesn't generally reduce over time as the competition catch up.'

and there in lies the reasoning behind the suit (we'll leave the iphones new power connector for another day). apple have you by the balls and want to do everything to keep it that way.

its just business

(oh and evil btw)

Re: Apple have focus

FYI the 'unique' part is why myself and millions of others wouldn't have an ipod if you offered it for free

Re: Oh come on ...

lol you said 'valid' and 'us patent system' in the same sentence.

way to demonstrate that you are a kno nothing n00b

Re: Apple are another amoral company

Re: Absolutely Wrong

i agree with your point except that facts :-)

clearly you are american, cos yank cars are well known to be badly designed, badly built, with these shortcomings addressed by putting a massive v8 lump in the front. (cornering??? you ever been to montana boy?)

and for the record my nissan drinks petrol like it's got shares in opec.

regarding innovation, apple dont do it. tablets, smartphones all featured in sci-fi movies decades before these devices being made (think uhura with her early 60's BT earpiece) these things are merely logical (captain) and as such, like the car with 4 wheels and 4 doors clearly not a patentable thing.

Re: Absolutely Wrong

threw away all the existing bad phone interfaces...

oh and the ability to make calls as well!

apple are clearly the worst offender (your holding it wrong etc etc etc)

but all smartphones as far as i can tell are pretty piss poor phones!

Re: "i bet most house wiring is inspected ressonably regularly"

the main difference between leccy and gas....

if you leave the leccy alone, it leaves you alone.

but the gas will come looking for you.

yeah i know natural gas not as narsty as town gas etc etc

Re: Erm... exactly why do we need PLT anyway?

excellent response, characterised the modern western approach to problem solving almost as well as the viz water privatisation (protest) advert 'taking your shit, and putting it in the sea'

i have a slight tech problem that i will solve by causing world+dog a massive problem.

dunderhead!

PLT is a fundamentally stupid idea, it would be nice if it could work. save loads of $$$ and a lot of pissing about with hammer drills in my grade 2 listed longhouse.

but it's broken right out of the box.

Re: Everybody needs good neighbours

What are the cost implications?

or more importantly, how good is a cat 5 cable at delivering sufficient juice to my kettle for the coffee required to kickstart my CNS of a morning?

Re: I am thoroughly confused by it all

true enough.

but whatever you do don't add any rounded corners.

i always heard that Kildall didn't want to have anything to do with the 'suits' from ibm, and that was the basis of his not contesting ownership - for what was clearly a funtional copy of his OS. plus that was back in the halcyon days when people were more interested in the tech that monetising it/ (_most_ ppl that is)

Re: wow, I've had the same email since '97

:-) me too!

The one unchanging constant in a world of constant change.

weirdly I got my name - with no numbers, but have since changed my name, so now it's not my name, which is something I have to constantly explain to meat-space contacts.
