Drum roll, please .... Results are in for the collective noun for security vulns

BottleCap

I offer you a comment on your failure to man up and reach a simple single noun.

This was a BottleCap - Bottled making a decision and as soon as the cap is lifted

all those alternative options will come fizzing out again to restart the arguments.

I print only one page a week at the most,

mainly self reference items and the odd Business letter.

All this on my second hand Citizen Swift200 Dot Matrix I have had since 1997 when

I treated it to two black and one multi colour new original ribbons

(never used colour for real)

Last year the second black was getting faint so I got 4 clone ribbons via Amazon

so I am a happy Dyno

Re: Works For Me

Just tried on my RiscPC (remember Acorn ?)

Still works ok, so well done for not breaking anything.

Works For Me

Dare I say "I like it" ?

The text seems larger to my OLD eyes and the layout sits nicely in a 4:3 format TV?Monitor.

El Reg probes pregnant Playmobil lass

Dress sense ?

Why has she got her trousers on back to front ?

Jaw-jaw no more-more as calls fall down tally of phone tasks

Dummies for Dimbos

The way my family behaves with them, we call them Dummies (the 'phones that is !)

Also, I don't think that a lot of the users realise that the "Mobile" part of the name refers

to the ability of the 'phone and is not user instruction to keep walking about!

UK nuclear: Walking into darkness with eyes screwed shut

Missing Link

Missing from all nuclear debate since the birth of the atomic age is any mention of serious research or encouragement to research, into methods of removing or reducing the radioactive output and life of 'high level' waste. Long term storage or burial is only dodging the issue for a few generations.

I thought that sex with animals was illegal in a lot of countries. Don't think they thought this through.

PARIS concocts commemorative cocktail

What more can be said about such a cocktail (and it's creators)

Reg reader stitches PARIS right up

Vulture Watch

What is that Vulture doing, in the lower left hand corner of the Map ?

PARIS joins the 17-mile-high club

Save for posterity !

Please pass the plane (and Pilot) to the Science Museum, so the visiting school kids

can see what can be done with glue and paper - driven by a mad idea,

Next mad idea ? A solar powered paper railway engine, of any size, to balance and run

on one rail of a main line track.

Give the construction team their moment of glory!

http://www.theregister.co.uk/Design/graphics/icons/comment/paris_hilton_32.png As "AoT" said, why not a photo shoot for posterity - get the Playmobil gang out round the frame. Also, if weight and balance allows, lets have a proper pilot in the cockpit for what is intended to be a momentous occasion in the history of aviation, blah blair!

Paris, because of the name, and because she is supposed to be an airhead !

The return of Risc OS ?

Just maybe this can be the portable computer that Risc OS (Acorn) fans have been waiting

(years) for?

Ofcom's 116 discussions confirm El Reg advice

Police (Non Emergancy) Number

116 789 would be easy to remember.

It doesn't have to be free either, so long as it is rated as a Local call, since we already pay

to make this sort of call, if we can remember the number or find it if away from home.

ContactPoint goes live despite security fears

i'm glad -

that my children have grown up and my grandkids will probably escape this due to the usual

bungling and delays in Gov. IT .

I give it less than a month of going live before the first data "escapes", assuming it is not already in the wild.

Then listen to the well practiced "sorry" line and the lo-oooooo-ng wait for heads to really roll.

And, Oh yes, what a waste to delete the entries when the kids are 18+ when we have the start

of a ready made, unverified, National ID system.

Apricot drops 'too complicated' Linux from netbook line

Yoof Tested!

My (sony Viao owning) Grandchildren picked up my new EEE701 and said "whizzy"

will you give us one each for christmas (answer - No! buy your own)

They played with all the bits an bobs and never even realised that it was NOT

a Windows machine. (Linux ? What's that? Something else from Acorn ??? !)

Worked fine for me straight out of the box. The underlying system seems far more

complicated than on my faithful RISC OS machine, but then, I' m biased ;)

HBOS could shift 2,000 IT jobs to India
