Vale, Rick

and sympathy for his family, best wishes to all.

Eh Simon

Nice ink bro

It's been fashionable here to bag facebook

I've even done my share.

But if you take a closer look

That isn't really fair.

Yes the users data's used

That is how it works

For free and all without that

we'd be paying for the perks.

Like free communication, text and video,

To catch up with the rellies

And others you may know.

Like the chance to publish stuff

That's been sitting in a drawer,

And get your friends opinions

To take on or ignore.

And as for kids participation

Think they have no imagination ?

They'll go on-line as they please,

We all know that it's done with ease.

and the Minister should too !

The problem here

Is that TN1 got convicted of fraud, presumably involving the loss of other people's money. That's a form of theft and there was a time when the penalty for that was Death, not just ostracism. If I was looking to do business with TN1, particularly if it involved me giving any sort of credit, and found that he had a conviction for fraud I would certainly drastically reconsider that business and that is as it should be. The man stole once and was convicted of it and rightly punished. Round here that's known as " form ".

Fucking Paypal

Fucking Paypal. Sold an item on eBay, specifying Paypal as payment vector. Item sold and buyer paid immediately. I get advised that their payment has gone to a " Pending " account and I have to wait at least 21 days for my money. I had to borrow money to despatch the item. I'm still going to have to wait 2 weeks from sale time. Fucking Paypal. I'll never specify it again.

enough rope !

enough said

i wish upon a star

that someone would take down the domain shifting botnet that's been flooding my inbox with what seems to be Canadian origin spam ever since elReg got hacked ! signed, bugalugs

WHAT

was the Ile de Re doing cutting the thing in the first place ?

enquiring minds and all that

exetel

never heard of them

in red and white, for me...

Re: pyramids

a sort of fresnel-ly lens ?

Did I read

that Assange's reaction to the film was based on a draft of the script ?

and that Cumberbatch had reacted by saying that the final treatment was more sympathetic ?

I read this somewhere

Not a trivial venture -

not trivial at all. Artificial gravity would be required to enable CO2 release, which, were it to the outside, would have to be through a regulator to maintain back-pressure in the vessel. The yeast used will need to operate at space station room temperature, otherwise a heating element of some kind will be needed inside the vessel. The water and wort additives - extra sugar, assuming some kind of pre-packaged wort being used - would have to be introduced to the vessel separately from the yeast solution, or at least stored separately. Some kind of internal agitation, magnetic perhaps, might be required to assist the brownian motions of the brewing wort. When the brew is complete the product would need to be dispensed into the kind of sealed drinks containers already used on the space station, to be drunk through a straw, ( and we all know what happens when you do that - whoopee ! ) The whole process would need to be watertight to avoid any spillage and probably vacuum-proof to be safe in case of de-pressurisation of the brewing compartment. In order to repeat the process, cleaning and sterilising solutions and methodology would be required. None of this is impossible but I'm having difficulty imagining a process that might work in space working on earth. Perhaps I need more imagination but 30 years home brewing prac has me scratching my head on that one.

Good luck, kid. I'll toast you with a ( terrestial ) home-brew if you can make something drinkable !

my little CT110 with carrying box is quite welcome at Macca's drive-through. wouldn't try without some carrying capacity but...

I

wanna puke. Management-speak murder. Death is so easy when it's somebody else.

What about executive resposibility ?

I wonder whether another CEO would have accepted responsibility having been in office for nearly four years ? But of course former bank directors are never to blame for anything are they.

Such a shame

that the Intellectual part of this Property grab is filling out a form and paying a fee. How innovative.That is all.

Acronym-ising

National Cyber Security Strategy, UK National Computer Emergency Response team, Cyber Reservists for the MoD, GCHQ, The Security Service, Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure, University of Oxford, Cyber Incident Response scheme and National Cyber Crime Unit of the new National Crime Agency gets NCSSUKNCERTCRFTMODGCHQTSSCPNIUOOCIRSNCCUNCA.

William of Occam might have had something to say about such multiplication, but I think I just found my new password !

Given Australia's pretensions to world leadership of the Camelot Weather Restoration Movement, the AGCC spin on this announcement is just PR. If these images are anything to go by, an upgrade to cyclone-proof is overdue. And tax-deductible of course...

So, what

is the OEM / retail sale ratio ?

Japanese say " wan wan " as English speakers say " woof woof "

and some of the dogs I've seen in Japan could definitely benefit from some better care - being a status symbol doesn't always translate into an ideal life for the poor beggars...

Purple Vulture

To those otherwise unbadged with upvote/downvote ratio better than 2:1 - wounded in combat but not out and all that ?

Of course I'm interested, I luv badgers
