"Damn the security"
Tell us how to make New York Pizzas or better still Grand Concourse, Bronx Pizas.
They won't let me in any more and as they are the sort of people who would choose a chimp over a chump for chopper, I don't want to go. Not even for New York Pizza.
Why the hell did they stop the stupid clip just there?
BTW, is Diebold involved in that other stuff? (Not that I'm interested but I would like to know.)
"The internet is 'not real' to many people, it's just stuff that happens somewhere else. It is here that people can do things they would never normally do in the real world and do not see the correlation between online activities and real world consequences."
The internet isn't 'real', it IS just stuff that happens somewhere else. It's there that people can do things they WOULD normally do in the privacy of their own home and any fool that can't understand that concept shouldn't allow state secrets access to it.
One wouldn't expect a chimpanzee to see the correlation between online activities and real world consequences but you'd think its keepers would.
And as for the Home Orifice sending someone to a third world country like the USA to suffer cruel and unusual punishment for what amounts to poor taste in home entertainment strikes me as very bad government and criminal negligence.
"Oh dear... what a pity... never mind! Should be the sort of thing our intelligence(??) services should be doing."
Just because they haven't left a CD for your perusal in a dead letter railway carriage, it doen't mean they haven't left laptops full of such information elsewhere.

But they do seem to have the same dubious regard to those in the electrical industries.

"Since at least 2003 there have been no direct downloads available on the 7Search.com site."
@Scum.com
"Feedback from credible users suggests that downloads on this site may contain what some people would consider adware, spyware, or other potentially unwanted programs."
@Mc.com
The term: "may contain", is not tense specific. Perhaps the line aught to have had a lawyer copy-edit it but it isn't a phrase that precludes future threats.
It might well be based on previous history (without indicating the prior art is still intact) but only a competent foot-shooter would want to draw attention to that.
I hope McAfee's lawyers win. And I hope they charge exceedingly excellent pecuniary remunerations.
I was quite happily not downloading loads of files with AOL unlimited until it ws taken over by Crapphoney Whorehouse. They then proceeded to diddle me out of my account by making it virtuallu unusable.
Now because I already had a line with the swear-words circumvented I am with the limited Talk Talk service.
No real problem but I do like to wartch the occasional You Tube item.
"exactly HOW does said "XCalibre engineer accidentally delete one of FlexiScale's main storage volumes."?"
How exactly does a customer come to rely on a stroage facility that doesn't have adequate back-up without making sure it has adequate back-up itself?
You just sign up with the first cloud that forms overhead, or what?
A molecule dissolved intp a solute isn't a molecule. In the samwe way brine is not water.
As for alignments, it may be an hoax or it might be true. I did hear that powerful magnets can draw a huge amount of live microbes out of a water line and can be used as an initial filtration for recycling drinking water.
Cows hold huge quantities of microbial denizens in their 1/6 ton of gut. It is very unlikely that any micromagnets will be able to resist other micro-attractors. And that can be quite a field in a field of cattle.
As a control, in regions where the field is neutral, northern Canada, Australia and South America, the effect should not occur.

I think it hilarious.
Upsetting yes but audacious in that the morons who accepted it were being told by their installers the machines were duff, news bulletins carried reports that Diebold were sacking installers and engineers for speaking out.
And then they took a machine's examiner to court over the wishes of a state or county who wanted an hardware expert to take a look at one of their machines.
Looks like they got 10 years for being morons.
By the way, has the chimpanzee ever made a public appearance where he did NOT ook-it all up?
I know there is or was a trend to show his stupidity at all times, even the production of a doll with some of his better quips. Were we seeing it all? Or were there ocasional insights and witticisms we never got shown?

Isn't Diebold an Apple Division?
You'd think so with Apple's two decade long Flaw and Buggy software history and reputation."
WTF?
(I have to admit I thought that was the other Microsoft bloke in the last I-con.)
"People become less flexible as they age--simple human biology. Younger ladies thus possess more natural flexibility and are better capable of bending themselves as needed for gymnastics events (which on the women's side usually place an emphasis on flexibility and agility--for the men, there's an added focus on strength)."
I can't see raising the age entrance a year or two will make a great difference and it can't in all cases but..
The problem with encouraging overtraining in any sport or excercise that can strain tendons and muscles is that youngsters' bones are cartilageous hence children are more flexible.
Keeping them under physical duress can cause lasting bone damage with deterioration of bones at 20 to 30 years. It was the scourge of England when all males had to practice archery too often and perhaps with too heavy a bow.
And it would have been a factor in the poor health of English children when working laws were almost non existant.
The Olympics committee will be looking into the matter with some very serious concern.
Were there any comments on the Reg about the so called fireworks display or the dubbed singer at the opening ceremony?
Abusing children is a crime. (So is abusing adults by the way.)
If you equate taking photos of abusing children and using the pictures for pleasue with reading about chemistry or even evil religious nonsense, then you are in a poor state of health or in a "good" government job.
Quote some tosser:
"if this lot were all downloading hard core kiddie porn we'd all be saying "job well done" when they were hauled into court."
Were they downloading porn of any sort? If so what were they found guilty of terrorism for?
More arse:
"As it is, they're only downloading guides to murder, torture and extreme violence which apparently is an everyday act if some of the commentators on here have their way."
I'd like to take a squint at the Anarchist's Cookboook but unfortunately, I don't live in a country I feel free enough to do that.
I feel I live in a country patrolled by the goons of a Chimpanzee. And I don't want to be on a midnight bound, bound and hooded, and headed for Cuba.
Seems there is an execution complex running through the government and judiciary right into the heart of our unsecular non racially motivated police force.
Yes, I made that last bit up. But it was the police force right? Or was it the CIA?
So for being Irish and not guilty of blowing up a bar or cafe, you get 16 years and for having access to the internet an unhealthy but not unnatural curiosty, you get 6 months.
And for our next trick we want an explanation of WTF the British security inquisitors were doing in Gutanamo Bay Concebntration Camp, quizzing torture victims; maybe even an inquiry about rendition fligjhts.
Now tell me what is unlikely in the above scenario?

"Can I ask the Register about the comment:
"The price change was the first major tactical play made by the company's new CEO, Paul Maritz".
You know this to be factually true? You spoke to someone at VMware who confirmed this decision was made by Paul Martiz? Or are just saying that to make your story sound more edgy?"
Can I ask how this is related to Microsoft?
Microsoft have had a bad-hair d..uh..year or five but why would it suddenly impact these three companies overnight all at the same time? Or didn't it?
I seem to recall that there were two other noxious articles involved with it. One of them Luxembourg based or some such nether-end.
PH) PECR heads.
Glad that I am not involved, NO WAY!
HA! I am with eeeugh wait... WTF?
TALKTALK??
What was I thinking? Seriously though, how did Google know what sort of spam to send me to really upset me? Or am I paranoid?
The real story here is that someone is handling thousands of migrant workers.

Many economists also argue that unemployment itself is subject to hysteresis effects. Unemployment persistence is argued to arise from various factors that include demand deficiency and labour market institutions.
Behavioral economists attempt to measure the utility gain from obtaining an item, and the utility loss from losing the same item. With great regularity, the utility loss is greater than the utility gain, meaning that if a person goes through a complete cycle of gaining and losing, the person may be worse off than if he or she had never received the initial gain.

There is a massive danger to the lower etchelons in any industry when the upper layer takes short cuts that cut them out of the system.
Someone bringing in 3000 workers is upsetting the apple cart. It is beginning to sound to me like this home office feature the secret service employs, is designed to hide an unwarranted feature of the landscape.
Mine's the one with the P 45 in it.
Really?
This is good at my age to achieve fame for not being pedantic. As for my correctness, I'd like to know how a medieval gate is hoist and for what purpose in an attack on a stronghold by an incvading army.
They lift the gate up do they? Presumably the gate will be lifted up out of its channels and not come down on top of the invaders?
And the sources you have all quoted at me seem to be describing a torpedo, a kind of weapon these days called a mine
And a mine in those days was a shaft cut to undermine a wall. A petard may well have been a variety of torpedo but I doubt the idea was to hoist a gate.
Maybe we should all question the veracitysagacity of Mr Shakespeare's copy editor. If I was a pedant, I might even consider doing so myself.
When you pass a dud check onto someone, you foist it off ON to them. You throw it over and in the good old days before Isaac Newton sorted things out you threw down the people who you passed the forgery onto.
(There not being a golden refund for pre credit carders.)
It's foist not hoist.
As in "foist by one's own petard" (a shaped charge of gunpowder originally designed to blow holes in gates and later used to remove hinges and locks etc.)
To be so pedantic indicates I don't have a life but at least it won't be appearing anywhere but online.

Always good to have something to do when there is a shortfall of news.
An alternative reality better than any play station is to lock up people who have evidenced a disability of coping wuith society.
There they can show respect to figures of authority who can't get real jobs themselves. The sort of people you wouldn't want to meet in reality let alone respect.
Then you can be isolated for years, with no idea what reality is really like and then get shoved out into reality -with no buffer zone.
And they won't be allowed to fit into it if they wanted to, or -get this> > suddenly found out how.
Giving people like that play stations is either a good idea or a very bad one.
Then again when you are locked up 24/7 and can only do menial work for some 6 or 7 hours of any day of it and nothing on the weekends (You ever tried doing nothing for a long time? It soon gets repetative.) and the alternative is watching Coronation Street or Big Brother In Potty Prison...
Are they allowed to watch TV after 9 pm?
A real man's number and it is official:
666.
But let me slip off the topic just a little and ask what proportion of a civilised society that hasn't failed, belongs in prison.
Is it 1/3 of the male population perhaps? Should a society that works have, say, 10% of its population criminally certified or certifyable?
What is a reasonable proportion of any country's population that you can say belongs in prison or may have been in prison, if they are not in prison already; before you begin to think: "Hey; there is something worng with this."?
Is it 1 in 10, 1 in 100 or what? Seriously, what is reasonable?

Is the machine open to bribery and blackmail? Does it work for live hostages taken prisoner by countries offering rendition services to war criminals?
Some governments offer the same payment to get hostages back do they? Where are my lost Opera Tabs? Why are they no longer in History? Bloody new releases!
How much do Scandinavians charge?
How long we should be allowed to spend in prison and what conditions therein. I would like to have sum idea if I am allowed to speak to anyone if I get clinked.
Would I be in solitary? How many hours banged up per day? What access to a lawyer, family and WTH else, just so the police can maintain the right to ask me.... whatever the hell they might want to ask me or not as the case may be?
I'd rather they were given the right to ask me questions after producing the body. I'd still have the right to STFU, I presume?
I presume too that exorcizing the right to STFU is what is being tortured the hell out of me?
BTW, did that religious persecution thing in Orkney a few decades ago ever get resolved? I'd hate to think what would happen if the monkey worshippers ever opened a Church of the Accidental Improvement.
(Imagine the anarchy the police would have to put down if the Atheists ever got organised! It would be enough to turn a Muslim oriental.).
AFT!
Where the hell are they finding space to put suspects when they can't afford to lock up serious crims?
In Chinese and farsee. Then send it on an Ooksmell orifice document over one of Vilecoms free whyless wotsits at a busy time of day when we have been alerted which particular time and which particular day.
(I wouldn't mind a sample of that. A very small sample.)
Not that Google are likely to comply. Not if they have been reading Groklaw and how to work the system they won't.
One up for the Chair Man of OOKSMELL. Nice one Steven!

The problem with that scenario is that you don't know what firm is waitng stage left, to take over residence when you leave.

<quote>Just send AVG the bill. They requested the data. maybe when the lawsuits for damages pack up they'll realise its a bad idea.<unquote>
Proving who dunnit.
What is going to stop an host of agents using the idea now they have seen it implemented? And more to the point, how will the SFBs subvert it to nefarious purpose?
I take it it is nothing more than a search engine add-on with teeth? So if someone puts the sweat of their brow out on the line, it isn't anyone's fault but their own if it gets sundried?
<quote> Unsurprisingly there were also shortcomings in the funding for the system, particularly for ongoing maintenance. So it’s no surprise that the UK’s most recent foot and mouth outbreak was down to something as mundane as a leaky drain at Pirbright.
The committee made a number of recommendations, including the shocking idea that there should be “complete clarity” over who is in charge of biosecurity, “especially” on sites of “mixed ownership or sponsorship such as at Pirbright”.
Such a “controlling mind” must be “clearly identified and be expected to manage the risks that it creates”, the committee said.
And, into the bargain, the committee reckons “the Government should know the location, capacity and capability of all high containment laboratories in the UK”.<unquote>
Answers on a CD and please send in a stamped envelope this time!

(C/O Victoria left luggage, Dartmouth.)
It is estimated that 1/3rd of the male population of Britain has been in clink for at least some time, even if it was just a day or so.
I reckon there would be a lot more if there was room for them. And even at that there would only be those there that were too stupid not to get caught or too poorly connected not to get away with a fine or less.
So let's have less of the us and them, Poleace.
£2.50/day (in prison it cost 50p/day)
Is that for the exclusive use of the telly or just shared access? At 50p a day the set would be paid for in what ....2 or 3 hundred days?
So someone doing two years would pay twice for a set that was probably second hand in the first place?
I don't know where the money for the entertainment goes in the NHS but it certainly isn't wasted on cleaning. When I was in there there were only two nurses on most of the day and a couple of Philippinos that had a different culture.
I used to watch in amazement when the wards were cleaned. They would just wipe the spaces between the beds and that was it.
It wouldn't have been so bad if they were the worst culprits. Some of the doctors are unbelievable.
It was a good job that you needed to pretty near dead before you could get in. (I had to wait until my peritonitis ruptured through my stomach muscles -and even then, find my own way to hospital.)
Before Winston Churchill ruined the planet by buying into Persian Oil, all mass transport in this country went by sail. OK if we had to use tugs and barges these days and move the population the way it used to move in daies ofe yore, we'd still have had to use diesel by now.
But we'd use considerably less than road transport costs.
Without a major revolution in such matters though, as the noted science bod indicates, we are living beyond our means.
And if we don't want nuclear plants in every town, the way our grandparents had coal gas manufacturies, then we will have to shoot all the bean counters and then, when the time comes, all the politicians.
No bad thing IMO.
