Microsoft takes us to 2004 with new Windows 10 so you don't mistake it for Server 2003

Kay Burley ate my hamster

So will....

So will 2009 be 2010? Causing many a sense of déjà vu.

Self driving

Self driving cars are the answer, I hope to see in my lifetime a ban on manual driving in cities. The car knowing how long till the lights change will stop on amber if there isn't time to cross the junction. The cars behind will know the car in front is stopping.

No more speeding, no more fines, no more road rage, no more deliberate road deaths.

Re: Tempting...

Yup the 2008 model was very cheap and provided some respite while Microsoft shafted Windows users with Vista. Orlowski rant skipped once I realised why the article made no sense (he wrote it).

Put your tin-foil hats on! Wi-Fi can be used to guesstimate number of people hidden in a room

Facebook insists it has 'no plans' to exploit your personal banking info for ads – just as we have 'no plans' to trust it

Quite funny

Reading this article without a cookie manager (in my case Privacy Badger) will set a cookie from Facebook (connect.facebook.net). Just saying...

No mention of SCL?

Maybe that particular brand of SCL didn't keep the data, how about the others?

It's only right that this is a death trap, it's at DSEI.

Google slaps a suit on beefed up Chrome OS, offers Enterprise version for business

RemoteApp

Chromebooks would be a great RemoteApp solution, if only Google would build in support. I could dish one out to a user, the device management could set the homepage to RDWeb and say thanks very much have a great day.

Re: Drawbridge?

Yup, that was my first thought. Drawbridges go up as well as down.

TfL, WTH is my bus? London, UK, looks up from its mobile

Kay Burley ate my hamster

Re: There, there children. Sorry your pacifier is b0rken.

With the massive variation in traffic we have in London, timetables are absolutely pointless. Routes don't always run their full length if delayed for example, the app tells you the destination meaning you will see if letting one go past will get you the full distance on the bus 2 mins behind.

Microsoft boasted it had rebuilt Skype 'from the ground up'. Instead, it should have buried it

If they use Slack they haven't learned their lesson. The problems started once monitisation was the goal.

Re: Academic doesn't always mean intelligent

Looking at the study I see it's pretty short and to the point, I doubt any grant money was needed.

Is Britain really worse at 4G than Peru?

Kay Burley ate my hamster

Who has 4G in Peru

You also need to look at who has access to the tech in Peru, perhaps it isn't as widespread in rural locations.

Re: William Wallace

Oh Amber Rudd and her party of Tory twats have “the necessary hashtags”, it's only a matter of repeating #StrongAndStableLeadership until the sheep come home.

Re: Who do they think they are?

--The Ruling Class. They're Tories, don't you know? Born to rule over us plebs etc...

What a shame they are only capable of asset striping the country.

Cold callers illegally sold Aussie farmers 1,700 years worth of printer ink

Kay Burley ate my hamster

Re: Too polite

I find shouting obscenities at cold callers stops them calling back (try insulting their mother), when I just hang up I get another call right after with a "I think we got disconnected".

Lawyer defending arson suspect flees court with pants on fire

Kay Burley ate my hamster

Well...

I'm more concerned by the typos in this article than the use of pants to mean trousers, it is well established. Unlike Microsoft's use of premise to mean premises.

Had to look up SaS

'What’s different about CBRS is that mobile network infrastructure makes a request for spectrum from a Spectrum Allocation System “SAS” that connects to a database that manages overall licensed usage.'

Forgive me, father, for I have used an ad-blocker on news websites...

Kay Burley ate my hamster

Re: My question is......

I disagree, El Reg has the most annoying ads outside of the daily mail. Animated, noisy, big and bordering the text while you are trying to read it. Without an adblocker this website is impossible to read for any length of time.

Kay Burley ate my hamster

Not at all

I'm using one right now to block the flashing wrap-around ads on El Reg. I assume you still do that, probably sound coming from it too.

Although most of the time I forget its running, so it's a real shock to use other people's computers.
