Re: Why they withdrew the case? Easy.

Then sue for the publicity.

They've published her name, her living arrangements, her age. Perfect Social Engineering material (Cue debate about her publishing this herself via a facebook profile vs the likelyhood of anyone visiting said profile prior to the case.)

Re: Not that ressilient

Can you explain this "tab" you speak of?

Because without 1., 2,3,4,5,6 and 7 have all failed.

Re: Think of the Children!

Except they don't.

When you buy any device capable of receiving over the air transmissions your required by law to fill in a form stating your details; address, etc.

Then when they compare this to the list of license holders, they bust in, to find you've actually used it to build a robot, or something similarly sinister!

Wasting.... by chucking in the sea where other animals can feed on it instead of bringing it on land wasting fuel, then having to dispose of it after having either let it go rotten on the ship, or kept it fresh and wasted more energy due to the production of ice to do so?

Yup, HUGE waste by returning it to the sea.

Generally these laws will give you the rights to your money.... nothing more.

No money spend == nothing to claim back by going to court.

Re: Traffic Shaping!

Except they don't limit Streaming services, only P2P so maybe you should stop trolling so badly.

Re: "According to computer models...

But at teh same time some fish DO much better in warmer waters.... and guess what, most of those fish are larger!

Re: I don't think that word means what you think it does...

Mozilla browser (as it was formally know) became Firefox.

née means a change of name I believe? So.... its correct?

Re: Bravo the NZ PM!

Nick Clegg - Student fees promise.

Well done for keeping up with current news :)

Re: What to do?

Order the items with his address.

They'll be left with you.

Re: Maybe other causes?

Yup, its not the fact you can pass the test simply by driving around the block thats the problem of course.

a Phone that can't make calls properly comes to mind...

Re: Apple copying?!

Samsung aren't making iPhones...

You have this thing called the "Legal" department.

You have highly paid lawyers on a salary.

You then tell them to keep their jobs they'll get cases over asap (and win them).

Re: Ever forgot your PIN?

And they post it to your house....

Yeah, because someone wouldn't notice loosing they keys AND their cards.

They see you trolling, you failing...

1. I worked in a game store and saw massive returns of xbox 360's at first but that quickly dropped after they released the falcon chipset.

2. 6-9months after the release of each PS3 "new" model, they'd be a similar number of returns due to flashing yellow lights/other problems which sony wouldn't replace/fix for them

3. The original xbox was almost bullet proof, yet MS got bashed for having such a heavy solid console - with the 360 they simply seem to have gone a bit too far the other way.

I love bashing MS but the 360 is a huge success story, compared to how the other consoles are doing which are 4-5gen the 2nd gen 360 is really pulling its own.

"They are forward-thinking IT departments..."

Re: Can anyone....

It would if he put rockbox on there..... alas that'd be horrific to anyone whos a fan of the shiny stuff I feel.

Re: OK I'll feed the troll

"Did I mention android? My statement made it blatantly obvious that I don't want Apple to win because of their behaviour, nothing else."

Let me check that for you....

"I have always wondered why El Reg fails to put an age restriction on the site. It would prevent the large number of pubescent teenagers who appear to enjoy fondling their Androids because, "

Yes, yes you did. In your old age you appear to have gained dementia.

Re: I can see it.

Well, timemachine = sequential backups but no one pulled them up on that.

Re: A few things Windows will get right

Those are what *I* and clearly what the android developers consider "PC" functionality.

Re: re: frogmarch off the premises

I prefer to notice this the moment they try it....

Re: You missed...

That depends - was the temp recorded each time the rhine froze in the past, or just that it was frozen.

If its the prior then they can compare the temps, however I find it more likely that it just shows "was frozen, no ships today".

Re: Once physical access is granted

Doesn't work for the encrypted folders though...

Re: So...

Whats wrong with drinking in public exactly?

If they were doing anything indecent then thats breaking the law and they should be arrested; but actually drinking in itself isn't illegal afaik and I don't see what problem it causes?

Re: "Page Views" and "hits" are not good measures

Where does it claim to be a daily comic?
