Virgin Media blames Activision for Call of Duty lag problems

no problems here

I've had an xbox 360, PS3 and PC, been with virgin media for years and never had any problems.

If it was a VM issue wouldn't it be the same for all games on all platforms not just black ops? there would obviously be a lot more outrage if it was a VM issue.

fire up an MMORPG, play on US servers and start a PVP match, no issues at all, same with any FPS, while I was typing this I thought id give modern warfare 2 a test and theres no lag!!

I commend VM for taking the time and wasting resources looking into the issue.

Accused autistic hacker Ryan Cleary freed on bail

it wont help him

hasn't done mckinnon any good, hes lost every appeal even with his aspergers, even though he admitted he did wrong and just wanted to be tried in the UK

this ryan kid is going down, for a long time, guilty or not the soca thing is irrelevant, you can bet the justice system will make an example of him as a deterrent to anyone else thinking of hosting IRC networks for criminal organisations.

You wouldn't open your home up as a safe haven for terrorists so why did he open up his pc as a safe haven for lulzsec?

Anonymous claims LulzSec merger

names are meangingless

the members of lulzsec were always members of anonymous, all they've done is drop the lulzsec name

Star Wars set for 3D rehash

I dont understand?

Why start with the worst of all the star wars films if they want to make money?

Jar Jar binks in 2D was bad enough, why would I want to see it in 3D?

El Reg insults 'millions of Irish Catholics'

seriously wtf?

God insults irish catholics every day by making the sun orange, seriously, god hates irish catholics, he can't stand them, he hates them so much that on a good evening he'll turn a huge part of the sky orange just to mock them

I know i sound rediculous but no more rediculous than the stuff some irish people come out with

Jobcentre ejects Jedi Knight

He's not a jedi

Jedi show respect and courtesy at all times, they would never attend a meeting with their hood up

I think this so called knight need to spend a bit more time as a padawan

Bulgarian airbag absorbs semi-automatic rifle round

Best quote ever

"I didn't look or think about it. I just felt wet in my chest area. I thought I was going to die."

If it wasn't the "i thought i was going to die" part

Microsoft 'offered sex and drugs to distributors'

Business as usual

So i start the night off, get sucked into trying a great new product, things are going well i end up getting shagged, catch a virus and i crash 3 hours later, go into hibernation for 5 hours, reboot and nothings quite the same afterwards

Brits left cold by mobile internet

I try to use the internet but...

Vodafone has such shit signal its almost impossible

NuLabour 'Bribo' laptop pops up on eBay

the country is f*cked

Labour are bribing people to vote for them, the torys are unelectable since the recent announcment by the shadow science guy that he wont take advisors seriously and sack them if he doesn't like the look of them, and the lib dems are a joke party who have left a trail of destruction in every city they've had power in

It doesn't matter who wins the election, we'll all still loose

'Anti-cyberbullying' rapper sorry for SMS smack talk

"losers" is a valid description

I've never heared of N-dubz before reading this article but dippys actions has proven that the woman was correct in calling them losers, but thats slightly insulting to losers

I think the best thing he could do now is kill himself, he needs to take himself out of the gene pool before he spawns monsters as repulsive and disgusting as him.

I wonder if dippy is cybersafe now?

UK BitTorrent admin acquitted on fraud charge

some good news at last

The justice system actually worked for a change, when will people like the BPI and government relise that Joe Bloggs knows alot more about the times we iive in

dont the BPI relise that the people on a jury are the people their ripping off?

it would be like a loan shark expecting to win in court because his victim with 2 broken legs refused to pay 300% interest

Bosses warned over Scrooge-like approach to snow problems

The insanity of people

Who do people think its acceptable to risk peoples lives just so they can get to work? you may well be the best driver in the world but driving in these conditions is insane, you could easily spin off and mow down a group of pedestrians.

people in non-critical employment should stay at home as a rule

Catholics slam PETA nude adopt-a-mutt poster

Americans are scary

I find it shocking that people of faith are offended by a naked women, if god wanted us to wear clothes Id of been born with clothes on.

clothes were invented by man so a naked women should be less offensive than a fully clothed women.

Its also weired that the followers of the most barbaric religion mankind has invented think they have a right to talk about ethics

Police Intelligence may be a thing of the past

They had intelligence?

This is news to me, I thought the police got what they wanted through bullying and harrasment.

I once lived next door to a police officer who was as corrupt as they come and used her power as a police officer to terrorise the street, then she'd appear in the papers winning awards for her service to the community.

The police are nothing more than a government sanctioned mafia

Dragon Age: Origins game in gay sex scene shock

Potty-mouths charged for Comcast hijack

Tell me, what downloadable hacking script will manipulate someone into giving you vital information on a telephone call?

Yank objects to Reg cherry-popping headline

If he has children

Then he must of grown up during the days when there were topless females plastered all over the main stream newspapers.

hypocracy at its finest

Wall-punching Brit gamer foams (milk) at the mouth

Wait for it...

Paris because she complete modern warfare 2 on veteran within 20 minutes

Arkansas cop tasers 10-year-old girl

The dont act like one, i bet this kid will think twice before throwing another tantrum

MS store staff in spontaneous electric boogie

you wont find that here!

we have massive unemployment, massive debt, get electricity from other countries and cant fend for ourselves but its videos like these that make me proud to be British, we stay professional at all times and don't reverts into a bunch of primary school wannabe actors when we're in work

all of the people in this video should be sacked

Santa menaced by sex offender postie

Who cares?

I dont, maybe the day will come when we stop filling kids heads with nonsense

Block McKinnon extradition, MPs tell UK Home Secretary

He did them a favor

The americans should drop the extradition request, he did them a massive favor, the only people who should be punished are the idiots that didn't set passwords

Ringback tones outselling ring tones

i want one

anyone know if vodafone do these as a personalised version? i would be more than happy to pay a monthly subscription so everyone who cals can here me say "ring ring, ring ring"

paris because shes full of win

Legless woman falls onto Boston train tracks

damn the bystanders

They've clearly cheated the women out of the darwin award she so rightly deserves!

not only did she fall on the track infront of a oncoming train but she actualy crawls over to the third rail and gives it a kick!

stupidity at its finest

BT call centre staff snaffle £45m lottery win

a dream come true

thats great news for them, i'd love to have seen a manager try telling them to get to work while their screaming and laughing

Spain won't disconnect illegal file sharers

hahaha poor mandelson

he really has no clue? the 3 strike rule will only push P2P back underground, P2P, copyright infringment, piracy what ever you want to call it has been around alot longer than torrents and napster and if things get too strict ill just load up backtrack and find a router within range to crack

Microsoft to bomb Europe with IE-free Windows 7

EU = retarded

Theres nothing wrong with microsoft shipping their product with their browser, I don't see the EU slamming apple with fines for shipping OSX with safari instead of IE

Its very easy to stop using IE on a windows box, you just install a different browser

What on earth do you think you are doing, Darling?

The UK is rubbish

This recession has blown away the smoke screen that the UK can support itself, for the past 10 years the banks have been making us money, they've been lending to businesses that have been employing staff.

none of these businesses have been making money, they claim to make an annual profit but thats false whilst the company is still in debt.

Why is the government so concerned about getting the banks lending? its because there isn't a single industry in the UK that makes money, its all a smoke screen, they borrow off the banks to make up their losses.

The UK is a sinking ship and labour's at the helm.

The Pirate Bay loads cannon with official appeal

The piratebay haven't broken any laws

The people who are breaking the law are the people uploading the copyrighted material not the pirate bay

If i stood outside a music shop with a sign saying "find your music here" and someone decides to steal a CD, am i the one who should be held responsible for their actions?

The music industry isn't loosing any money, in fact their proberbly making more money since free downloads have spawned shops like itunes, the music industry have turned into thugs, their the scum of the earth.

BBC botnet 'public interest' defence rubbished by top IT lawyer

What about Gary?

He's commited exactly the same crime as the BBC, if he found evidence of UFO's the information would of been in the publics interest so when is the government going to give him some support?

BBC botnet investigation turns hacks into hackers

loosing all hope

People that allow their PC's to be compromised shouldn't be using the internt, most people will never change, they'll buy something they don't understand, never work out how to use it and then blame someone else when it all goes wrong

Why is the BBC wasting time telling people who won't keep up with the times how to keep their computers secure? within 6 months there'll be a new trojan and the dumb fucks will be back in the same situation.

Inside the world's greatest TV remote

WTF?

He spent 18 months making a universal remote that only has 1 function? is the guy a complete idiot?

Vista to XP 'downgrade' lawsuit revised

Why are people siding with Microsoft?

I don't understand, Microsoft are forcing retailers to ship new PC's with Vista, if you want a stable operating system then you need to pay extra for XP. this isn't right.

They should be offering both operating systems otherwise you can't get a stable PC without paying extra,

Someone tried comparing this with car sales, its was a rubbish analogy but maybe this would help clarify the court case.

BMW are the only car manufactuer in the world, the newest BMW is on offer for £30k but it breaks down every 50 miles and you can't fill up the tank at most petrol stations, if you want the engine from the earlier model that runs fine and you can fill it up anywhere you got to pay £50k.

Remember now you've got no choice but to use BMW but their abusing their monopoly to make extra cash by selling a faulty engine in a new car and then charging people to get the car "fixed"

Teen sacked for 'boring' job Facebook comment

Ivell isn't a proper job

Looking at their website reminds me of the first office job I had, working in a small office trying to sell outsourcing to large companies, normally those businesses are a front for something else.

Sexual harrasment?

She could turn this around and claim she was being sexually harrassed by her employer, someone browsing 16 year old girl profiles on facebook is a borderline peado.

Pirate Bay prosecutors get jiggy with charge sheet - again

Don't know how to use google?

Try typing "coldplay .torrent" you get much different results.

Google is just as guilty as the piratebay

Man U fan pwned in Facebook honeypot

hilarious

Just heared the clip and theres a photo of the guy with a dildo in his mouth, its great that the scouser set him up, his wife is now alot wiser.

Apple fights iPhone unlocking (again)

Why hasn't the EU stepped in?

I'm suprised the EU hasn't started fining apple, If i bought an iphone i'd be locked into using it on o2 and can only use apples applications, doesn't sound like a good deal for one of the most expensive phones on the market.

Teen accused of 'sinister' Facebook sex extortion plot

in the closet?

I bet that this kid was from an extremely religious family and was convinced his homosexual urges were the act of the devil, he thought he was evil so commited evil acts.

The best chance he has is to plead insanity.

MP wants Welsh text on ID cards

Re:Let the Welsh pay for it then

I don't care what language its printed in, I wont be getting one.

Gears of War grind to halt

nothing to do with DRM

The failure isn't down to a system preventing piracy, this was a failure of the mechanism used to prevent people cheating online.

If they didn't have these systems then online play would only be won by the people with the best aimbots.

Birmingham drops the possessive apostrophe

This is very bad

Its an embarresing time to be alive seeing our language dumbed down.

Is this to make things easier for us, or are we dumbing down the language to accomodate foreigners?

McKinnon wins extradition delay

He's entitled to a fair trial

America wants to make an example of Mckinnon, all the trolls here obviously have no idea what the situation is.

He wont get a fair trial if hes extradited, he'll be charged under terrorism laws and made an example of for embarresing the previous US government.

If he was guaranteed a fair trial then extradition wouldn't be a problem, but a fair trial in the US is very rare.

The people who win court cases in the US are the ones who can affored the most expensive lawyer, I dont think Mckinnon has the same budget as the US government.

EU says Microsoft violated law with IE on Windows

Another excuse for the EU to milk Microsoft

This is complete crap, and I think the EU are acting like criminal mob bosses, they don't like Microsoft, they want to make some easy money so their looking for some excuse to scrounge some cash out of Microsoft.

If windows was sold with no browser at all that would do nothing but hinder people, how does the EU expect the average user to get on the internet and download a browser when they have no browser to start with?

Microsofts lawyers will rip the EU to shreds over this, where apple's lawsuit for bundling safarii with its OS?

Bioshock sequel teaser trailer now showing

Greatest console game ever? wtf

Alex the kid is obviously the best video game ever.

Man threatens lawsuit after negative eBay feedback

What a moron

Read is a moron, he got the the exact phone he was bidding on, i hope he looses in court.

Virgin probes Facebook safety, chav claims

I'm never flying on a virgin plane!

Theres something very wrong if Virgin are ignoring concerns by its staff about safety, instead of investigating the problems, they give the staff diciplinary action for voicing the concerns to the public.

Anyone got the number for the Health and Safety executive?

Secret of invisibility unravelled by US researchers

im confused

how do they make the stuff visible to construct it into something? the article gives the impression that the material bends light around it, so its invivislbe from the start, no way of making it visible.
