ASA bites PETA over Baby P billboard

Not about the point

but the way they make it. As always Peta assume that they are right and should be alowed to do what they want. They are agrogant spoilt brats who don't know where the boundrys are.

These facts are no supprise, and there are laws in the UK against animal crulty.

Mong

Is short for Monger, or Minger as it also know, not "Mongaloid", which is what your thinking of.

2. Chiefly British. a dealer in or trader of a commodity (usually used in combination): fishmonger.

Origin:

bef. 1000; ME (n.); OE mangere, equiv. to mang(ian) to trade, act as a monger (≪ L mangō salesman) + -ere -er 1 ; c. ON, OHG mangari

It comes from the derogatory use.

Home Office says 'no decision' yet on sex offender disclosure

Grow up...

And learn to type.

Defects in e-passports allow real-time tracking

Proof of concept

Fine as a proof of concept, but realy, what is the worry for those of us who think a tinfoil hat is nothing more than a cheep way to finish off a fancy dress outfit?

Realy, how many people carry a passport around with them? The passport office says you should not. And out of those people how many don't have a mobile? And from that fraction, how many don't have another RFID chip on them, such as a work door pass or a bus pass?

I don't see what all the paranoia is about. There are much better things to worry about.

Apple: iPhone App and iTunes stores don't make money

Last time I looked

They don't dominate the market the same way Apple do.

Now tell me Apple arn't evil.

Realy, this stinks of abusing market share. Effectivly running iTunes as a loss leader to hook people in.

And people say they are better than MS...

NZ police pursue cuffed and naked fugitive

Aggravated burglary and burglary

Aggravated burglary and burglary. Says it just there. At the bottem. Simple realy.

Oz man coughs to DD-jub job advert outrage

Oh good god

Please please do grow up. Realy. People have a problem with a joke about Australians, but not with "My contry is shit. Look at this crap I made up".

Car-stopping electropulse cannon to demo 'next month'

.50 slug

also dosen't dissable all the other things in the car that need electroincs now, like brakes and steering.

Vomit cannon to protect vessels from pirates, paparazzi

Kind of difficult to tell

if someone is a pirate some times, and 20mm cannon shots arn't that easy too take back.

Also, we would need one hell of a defense budget to sent an RN ship to protect every ship at risk. Hell, we coulden't do it in world war two.

French top MOT failure league

Alfa

Alfas are normaly looked after... and shitly built.

If you want to make those genralisations Alfas are owned by car lovers and hondas are owend (i know i know... NSX, CRX, Type-R etc etc...) by people who don't even know how to check the oil.

'God help our smartphones,' vicar prays

Perhaps they started bigger than that...

Zuckerberg: 'I am a prophet'

Profit

Profitable companys can fail through not having enough cashflow. Cashflow is just as important as profit, as without cashflow a company dose not have enough liquidity to pay its bills.

Facebook may be about to fail if investors pull out, but the fact is that all PLCs are in the same position. If all of the investors in BP pulled out then they would have no money, so would fail. The same with any company on any stock exchange, or any company with investors. That is the point in investment. Without seeing facebooks accounts you can't say what is happening to them.

Please don't type in CAPS and use lots of punctuation!!!??!??!?!?!?! unless you know what you are talking about, as it just makes you look stupid.

Taser offers obsessive parents total mobe intrusion package

Because children want them.

For birthdays and christmas and the like. They want one to fit in. Just the same as when I was young you wanted a gameboy and a walkman to fit in.

Its not about need, but want, and wanting to fit in. Children are crule to those who done.

TalkTalk kills Tiscali

Same here...

But oddly enough we still seem to be able to access them via pop3. Our broadband is with BT, so its not down to that.

Its rather anoying because our ebay account is set up to sent to tiscali because of the amount of spam we get from that.

I doubt it...

Sounds like they will fit right in with TalkTalk...

El Reg sparks international incident with Olympics committee

Winter olympics

The summer olympics is people runing in circles for 2 weeks. The winter olympics is 2 weeks of crashtastic painful fun.

Because...

its cheeper than going to London or Brum...

Bosses warned over Scrooge-like approach to snow problems

No...

We just expect empolyers to show some care and share the burden. It dose sound like people you work with were taking the piss, but then perhaps a 50/50 approche should be taken. 1/2 days leave perhaps?

Italians threaten suit over Windows pre-install

Um...

"Dell, Lenovo, Asus etc might have a small Linux offering in the US, but not in Europe."

Yes they do. Dell and Asus do at least, Lenovo might, but im not 100% sure.

Herod

Thats assuming that the date of his death is correct. Some put it as late as 1BC, or as early as 8BC.

Japanese chap sets paper plane flight record

Top Gear tops iPlayer hit list

Odd that...

The BBC not detailing figers for illigal downloads. Don't you have a job to do?

Doing the maths on Copenhagen

Not the same.

This is not randomly shoving children in to an argument (E.G. ID cards stop pedos), but arguing agains people whos pasic attitude is "im alright".

UK etailer calls self 'the last place you want to go'

Sorry...

You seem to think its a bad thing that they have gone. The were crap, oh and they are not gone they are now currys digital.

Harvard smarties name Steve Jobs 'world's best CEO'

No....

Its harder to grow a company with a monopoly. Almost imposible infact. And. Putting. Full. Stops. After. Every. World. Is just rude. What hes saying is that they are compairing two totaly diffrent things.

Research suggests Wii Fit is no flab fighter

Shock new

Sticking an bike in your garrage and never riding it dosen't make you fit either.

Government lets CCTV watchdog off the leash

Reasure the public?

So do the same thing as they have done with ID cards, DNA, speed cameras etc... Issue a statment about once every three months saying "your all being very silly, now calm down. CCTV is good." Flying in the face of all evidence and public oppinion.

Major helicopter reorganisation for RAF and Navy

No no no no no no...

You don't understand. The private sector dose everything better than the public sector. The profitability and greater efficency has nothing to do with the fact that privet companys do what makes the most money rather than what is in the public interest, or the way they treat staff (to the letter rather than spirit of the law, and to minimum levels rather than best practice etc)

Top cop's 'stop stopping snappers' memo: Too little too late?

Police chase shot out flashy flashy shows

already show a big place police are going wrong. They confuse assertivness with agressivness. It would be so much better if they were trained to deal with the public in a better way.

I do not have a bad oppinion of the police, and I do not think the problem is down to inherant problems, but just to bad training, or lack of training. To many of them think that standing and shouting "shutit you slag" should get people to calm down, when all the need to do is say, in a calm voice "please do not speak to me like that." etc etc. I know it sounds like hippy crap, but people respond to aggresion with more aggresion or fear. Its part of being a human.
