Isn't that 300 meter fireball, plus shockwave, plus EMP*, plus heat flash thats of a larger radius than a fireball. Figure the additional invisible effects would cause problems.

*Maybe not consideirng the electronics.

Re: Sounds like nonsense to me

I dunno hard crunchy metal and plastic things to hit, engine parts not designed for hard and crunchy plastic things inside them, fire below.

Not a clue what the danger is at all.

Re: Does that mean...

Average Wage India $302 per month. They might be just working to a different idea of a lot.

Re: if you can read this you are probably one of the lucky ones

That's not how you seemed to use it earlier to make your point.

Well if the problem is Elite universities with white bias, is not some of the problem that?

I am not sure what possible use the Chinese could have of the details of the F-35. I mean, the Chinese are lending the Americans the money to build this albatross - at $200+million apiece.

I really couldn't guess.

Just call it Darwin mode.

Solves all problems.

@Dan 55

Jeez after hearing his appointment this morning. I am wondering when they are going to put Rolf Harris in charge of minister for children.

Re: Has no one figured the correlation

It does remind me of stories on the Reg about shadow IT, if you cannot provide what your users want they will find something else. Except these customers are locked in so are trying the web route because call centres and how call centre metrics are set out are not focused on the customer or service.

After all if you are going to get fobbed off, getting it done via web page is a lot less painful than having to sit and lsten to some awful hold music, interspersed with ads telling you how great the service is.

Re: Enough Rap sheet

Right Big Joh here's some facts because well I think your last point on your rant will out why.

That "shooting victim" was a well-known black thug with a long rap sheet who fit the description of a local armed robber to a tee.

*Actually traffic violations, driving without a muffler, no seatbelt etc, not criminal convictions, but about 6K in fines. Not enough IMO to be a reason for the law to slot him.

Then when stopped (by a real cop, not a "traffic" cop), he tried to out-draw said cop and lost. The cop is alive and the thug is dead, and that's what's supposed to happen when thugs try to kill cops.

*Identifed himself as carrying a concleaed weapon, (not btw the first thing you do if you are going to try and outdraw someone, especially if you are in a sitting position doesn't give you any advantage to warn the opposition), then after identifying this fact was asked to reach for license and registration.

Why is so hard for you not to inject your ignorant biases into supposedly tech-based articles?

*And thats where we come to why I am writing this, ever thought yours is biased?

Also btw wtf

The cops know this, and greatly dislike being portrayed in such a light with no way to fight against it. I'd be sorely tempted to shove that phone down the videographer's throat, but that's just me.

Please tell me the reason you avoided law enforcement (to the greater good for everyone else), is because they wouldn't let you wear jackboots. :)

Re: Reap as you saw

Don't expect anything to change till you keep systematically blocking ads that are clearly marked as ads!

I don't I block the viral content delivery system and privacy intrusion programs that are clearly marked as ads!

Anyway anyone who watches those videos and doesn't have some doubt over the rabid fanboism and takes it as a balanced review, is probably not the most sophisticated player on the internet anyway, likely they ain't using ad blockers.

It's abacuses I have problems with. I always find it really fiddly tying the small knots on the bars to mark my comment section.

Re: Culture Clash...... ???

I really think it comes down to some degree to cultural meme's.

How was the west won?

How did you defend the range?

How did you fight of the opressive goverment?

What's the great equalizer?

Now in modern day America.

If there is a problem whats the first thing that seems to be reached for to solve the problem?

One of the problems with Japanese Hornets (and the main species of Asian Hornet) is they also release the pheromone that incites other hornets to attack also, which is why you do not want to get stung by one. They put a fair few people in hospital and cause a quite a few fatalities each year.

Also if you hit them with one of those electric tennis racket things, they don't always go zap, sometimes they just get annoyed.

Re: Selfish

Well it depends really. There are some who turn to arseholes when they are drunks, we had a friend like it, perfectly nice guy but beer would mean a fight was going to happen. We banned him from alchohol when out with us.

However there are some people who drink because its basically a medical issue, someone with depression drinking, it would not suprise me if thats more someone self medicating. That's a lot lot harder to stop.

It's quite easy to say no excuse what so ever but thats from the perspective of someone who is not suffering, and because it involves mental issues it does not seem so obvious.it's a bit like someone healthy criticising someone with no legs for not going for a healthy jog in the morning.

Re: Ah...

Exactly the sort of dose you regret after a night out.

Re: Completely unrealistic video

Also misses the bit where half the people at the end go "Sorry was I supposed to be in that meeting?", or "Why was I needed for that meeting?"

Re: 179 lives, 7 years, £30 million, culminates in...wait for it...

"the report makes clear there were no lies and parliament and cabinet were not misled".

Tony Blairs words, I must have missed it when did we find the WMD's then?

Also interesting the Chilcott report never actually questioned Admiral Lord West. who was first sea lord at the time, a job I feel might have had some tasks or something related to whole war thing.

Even more interesting how he seems to be implying the war was a given.

Re: If It's Chinese, It Must Be A Scam <--Come On China! Grow Up!

You actually think western advertising companies would be more honest?

Agreed there's nothing much new in phpne, just about every review now seems to be how it looks like a slightly different design from someone elses, and whether it takes photos.

I bought a model from last year, from what I can see I haven't missed out on much between last years top range model and this years apart from about £300 saving, (oh and my model is slightly thicker meaning more battery power), which went towards a decent camera.

Re: It's Boris and Stasi May Brexit day

To be fair to the older voters, the 20 something year old next door to me, just half hour ago, asked me what Brexit was.

I've known a fair few students at that age, people go to work and then decide they want to learn something. They're often better students because they really know why they have chosen their subject.

Re: What a shame

They model themselves on crack dealers. Get you in on good service and all signed, pass you on to the guy who is cutting it for profit.

Re: GOOD FOR HER!

I've been doing tech support since 1984, and I can spy a troll every time.

Just joined, two posts both on this thread? I think I spy something...

Re: antidemocratic etc

A man who works in a think tank, that receives money from tobacco companies, and helps them campaign against the WHO. Calling out other people for being an elite in charge.

Re: For Pete's sake @Charles 9

"Goes to designated person."

There's your problem. There's no budget for "the designated person".

You mean there's no IT staff in the hospital at all? That's your problem there I reckon, no secretary either who could be trained to run a simple program, my oh my no wonder hospitals are so rushed.

Keys get lost, tokens get lost, cards get lost. Passwords get forgotten.

Whats the solution leave it all open all the time? everything else apart from the mentioned dermal implants, I know people can lose their arms, hits the human factor.

Re: Well I thought!!!!

Free prescriptions and don't get me started on university fees

Well the good news is we are definetly going to have that sorted out in our favour with Boris Johnson or Gove in, men of the people, champions of the common man, that they are.
