Re: Where? - From the article - "the breach has only affected customers in the US"

Oh-oh!

Re: Jesus phones - It reassembles after 3 days.

Ah, does it then ascend into the clouds?

Re: "useless having redundant A/C if they all shut down in case of fire!"

Not shutting down the AC during a fire event is the best way to spread the fire while feeding it fresh oxygen. Should also have fire dampers that close off all the ducting so fire does not spread through them.

In this case it was the wrong thing to do; they should have burnt it to the ground and started over so I gave you an up vote as Azure sucks big time.

Good ol' fashioned indirect injection, for added agricultural movement.

Now your just shit stirring.

Re: Ha - "...women who only seem to need a specific part."

Yeah, your wallet.

Re: "Only in Chester on a sunday... sorry"

Damn!

Re: "get local supermarkets to leave their out of date food nearby"

...get local builders to leave their out of date bricks nearby... would work better.

Re: "Nicely done for once, Apple!"

Would be nicer if they provided a facility to automatically delete cookies at the end of a session like Firefox does. Currently you have to do it manually; I have to use the clear history function on the main menu before I close the browser (and delete everything).

In Firefox I just block third-party cookies and set cookies to 'allow for session' in the privacy preferences. For the odd site I want cookies to persist I then just change that sites permissions to 'allow' when I visit it and those permissions and cookies remain after the browser is closed. Mind you it won't maintain a log-in on El Reg any more for some reason.

Re: "Including airburst ones?"

Yes. It's just the point on the Earth's surface under the bomb (perpendicular) when it goes off.

Not applicable to detonations in space, obviously.

Re: By any chance ... Whoosh!

Simon you forgot the obligatory Whoosh in your response title :)

Re: used the toilet and not eaten breakfast yet...

Way too much information.....

Re: Depends if you are a thigh or leg person?

Prefer something in between, myself :)

Probably best to "accidentally" bump into it with a JCB...

FTFY that cabinet is big.

Re: What can Puerto Rico offer in that end?

Gitmo II.

Re: Benefits - *cough* 1972 *cough*

As has been pointed out that was a vote to join the European Economic Community, not the European Union, which wants to be a federal government for the member states. That choice was never before presented to the British people; it has been now and they voted that they don't want to be part of the EU.

Please get your facts straight.

Re: Is anyone the least bit surprised?

You must have a massive pair of cojones to use that Spoonerism as a handle. Respect hombre!

Uppies for the comment as well.

Re: Anon, cos the taxman doesnt know about my sideline.

Well he does now smarty-pants.

Re: Lightbulb moment? - What colour is it?

Octarine!

Re: Survey - That's because the poor little mites are terrified of them.

Works for me (once the screaming stops).

Re: St Jude? - patron saint of the Chicago Police Department...

So AC was on the money then.

All the best to you when you get the update.

More instances of IoTL* coming soon?

More instances of IoSL* coming soon?

*Internet of Things Shit Lawsuits.

FTFY boet.

Re: "American Roulette"

Russian Roulette is played using a revolver, American Roulette is played with a Colt 45 ACP, every try is a winner! (of the Darwin Award)

Re: Stop <> prevent - where's the "possibly"?

This "fix" only stops the plane from taking off if the fault is present before flight. Way I read it if the specified fault develops during flight then a fireball in the sky is still all to possible; like a Boeing with the lithium batteries mounted in the fuel tank.

Re: Flat Bed Scanner - what about the office photocopier?

Certain office Christmas parties often found the out tray of the photocopier loaded with commando-style images of ladies naughty bits.

The only person who got outraged about it was the HR old biddy. Thankfully she was no longer agile enough to get on up (which was playing in the discos back then).

Re: Well if the US ships want the Chinese to keep out of the way

Um, think it's the US Navy getting in the way of others. The last two collisions the US boats were hit in the side. Of course they may have learnt how to do handbrake turns with a destroyer to scam Lloyd's List.

Seems that the Mark One Eyeball and a pair of binoculars are no longer a part of the "watch" requirement.

Re: Porcelain and pistols

A late friend of mine had a careless discharge while practicing drawing his new .38 spl snubby. Unlike his Browning Hi Power it was double action (yes he should have unloaded it the twat) and he shot a hole in the mirror he was practicing in front of. Unfortunately for him the mirror was on the end of a long built in wardrobe and he nailed every coat, suit, jacket, trousers and shirt he owned plus half his wife's clothing.

He was normally very careful with guns but ..... Cost him an arm and a leg when wife upgraded her replacement clothes.

Crab shaped or spheroidal don't go anywhere - just up, down and scuttle about seabed.

So while this typical sub-shaped submarine is currently scuttling about the seabed on the ebb and flow of the tides, it should be more capable than a crab-shaped submersible at going from A to B without a surface ship to lug it about while clear of the water.
