Plod: "Hexcuse me young lad whip out that battery so I may scan your IMEI barcode with my mighty barcode scanner with lightening bolt stickers and my taser strapped to it."

Intel to EU watchdogs: 'It's AMD's fault'

@Michelle Knight

As I understand it, Intel were offering incentives for suppliers and OEM's to *not* buy AMD CPU's\machines - even going as far as saying "you can only have this many CPU's if you don't use x amount of AMD's". I think at one point AMD couldn't even give away a batch of CPU's for free to Dell (I think) because of the agreement they had with Intel. It's all reported right here on the reg :)

Microsoft aren't really doing that in your example, just offering incentives that Linux can't really beat. That's not unfair business practices, just really annoying!

EU court rules 11-word snippets can violate copyright

@Mectron

Mectron,

I think you'll find that I said something VERY similar last year, albeit with slightly different words. Please give me your house, 10x the money you have made from your article, and any fitish girlfriends that you may have obtained from it's use.

It's people like you that refuse to take copyright seriously that have to give me and my fat ass friends money.

Regards,

Free Porn!

I'm going to create a browser called "Free Porn" and have the logo as a nice big pair of breasts. Guessing I should be able to cut a huge swathe of browser market share with the next windows release! Anyone else want in?

Additional films cannot be launched please try again later

Also, when you try and walk into the screening it will say "Additional films cannot be launched please try again later" and you'll just appear back on the same side of the door. Because the money has already been taken out of your bank account you'll just continue to try again and again and no-one will have do anything about it.
