Re: "the relevant employee left shortly afterwards and there are no available records."

Sounds a bit of a Stalinesque solution - "No man, no problem"

Well Pogue's family donated $200K to Trump's campaign in the last 6 months having donated $10K total to the republican party previously, so there's the price of freedom.

This shit stinks to high heaven that someone like Milken gets pardoned because it's seen as a "victimless Crime", and people are getting executed if they are too poor and black.

And before Bob shows up, this isn't a Trump issue - Clinton pardoning Rich hours before leaving office is also just as craven -it's just especially galling for someone who's "draining the swamp".

I will give Trump credit for his strategy of not giving one shit about protesting innocence with all the self-dealing etc, but by dragging everyone else down to appear everyone's just as bad and corrupt in the public's eye which seems to be working.

Re: Everything will be downloaded from the network.

Me: Well, the kids and wife are out, I've got a spare hour to myself to have a blast on CoD.

Xbox: Downloading a 13GB update for this game

Me: Fuck off xbox.

This happens far too often.

WHAT?

Re: A Narcissist's Corporate Prayer

Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V into any Trump comment post on Mueller, sexual harassment allegations, paying off porn stars, executive overreach ad nauseum.

Re: They should never have allowed ARM to be sold

This is a valid point, albeit a bit harsh for those out of a job and needing to pay the mortgage of a property in Cambridge.

There's a theory that the great achievement of Kennedy's space program in the 60's was also because of the rapid expansion of NASA in the 60's that it created a swathe of highly trained engineers who then went out in the 70's/80's and "invented stuff".

Re: Launch Trump

I'll send them cheesy movies, the worst I can find.

Re: ad words?

Ok, salient points that could be surfaced in somewhat different language if you're looking to genuinely engage in a constructive discussion rather than troll but this is an internet messageboard.

I believe there is an important distinction to be made between rich citizens throwing money at resources at your election (which is certainly problematic in itself), but there is a difference between Schmidt or the Koch brothers trying to influence their election for their country and foreign governments trying to influence through social media.

Re: " Tory off-shore trust "patriots""

Nope, as the US elections have shown us, Patriotism is now the first bastion of the scoundrel.

Too right..

Everyone knows Hooli Nucleus is where it's at.

Re: It's all irrellevant now

The Donald is going to bring all book burning back to the US.

Obvious FTFY.

Bollocks to today.

Re: The Sky is falling..

"5th largest economy in the world"

Hasn't France now taken over as 5th largest economy using GDP based on 2015 figures if we take the current value of the pound though? Time to change the narrative to "Pound was overvalued anyway, Brexit just helped us realign so our exporters could compete blah blah blah"

I'm off to invest in barrels with braces as that's going to be the rising fashion trend in years to come when we're all drinking rainwater out of rusty hubcaps.

This is a world where Apple claim a patent on a paper bag as it's folded differently.

I agree that he patent clerks need to be a little more diligent when approving applications to avoid patent trolls and lawyers profiting handsomely down the line in court.

agree. got rid of the virgin tv service earlier this and just use Netflix and downloads - saving about £50 PM and missing nothing.

A huge side benefit also is my 8 year old doesn't see any ads for crap on a Saturday morning any more - a price well worth paying for.

Now if any kindly soul out there wants to tell me what smart DNS service is currently working and flying under Netflix radar so I can access the US site again, I would be much obliged, all my usual suspects over the last 6 months have gone.

Re: Curious minds want to know

It's because the F-35s are flying at the Fairford air show in 10 days time - along with F-22, typhoons, f-16s, F-18s, Mig-29s, Grippens, Rafales - should be a fun day.

Re: That reference

*burp*

that innovative multi player.....

fantastic memories on the megadrive of one player at the top of the screen with 2 cm of screen ahead trying to anticipate the turns and obstacles without being able to see them, and the opponent on the edge at the bottom with all the screen ahead but knowing one slip up and he's out.

good times.

If it's worth it, yes....

I rarely buy physical media anymore, but happily coughed up £60 last week for DVDs of all 4 seasons of the Phil Silvers show ,finally released.

Anyone who is going to spend time and effort releasing every episode of this 60 year old sitcom deserves my (and your) money.

Re: Prius?

Fox News? You're quoting Fox News as a non-partisan source on an environmental issue?

Fuck it, I'm going to start quoting the Onion as a legit source then. Here you go:
