If you haven't already killed Lotus Notes, IBM just gave you the perfect reason to do it now, fast

Still Apple's fault.

Yorkshire cops have begun using on-the-spot fingerprint scanners

Re: The usual suspects complaining

I have no idea what that bizarre rant (involving your sick fantasies, no thanks) is supposed to mean.

Re: Get a hobby

Doesn't work.

The usual suspects complaining

Only criminals need fear this sensible measure.

You dopes! US state's pot dealer database pwned after security goes up in smoke

Re: Serves them right

The same old lies trotted out by th druggie brigade. Not interested.

And I don't drink either. I notice you lot are keen on accusing your opponents of being alcoholics. That's an interesting form of projection you've got going there.

Re: Serves them right

I don't care about your excuses. Dope is wrong.

Serves them right

Dope is still against the law. Anyone involved in it is fair game.

No sh*t, Sherlock! Bloke suspected of swallowing drug stash keeps colon schtum for 22 DAYS

The police should be able to do anything* they want.

Elon Musk's Tesla burns $675.3m in largest ever quarterly loss

Re: "production hell" but we'll soon fix it. You'll see!

Careful now, you're not allowed to criticise The Holy One on this site.

Re: An anecdote

I'm glad that you're so full of admiration for an overpriced golf buggy.

Re: An anecdote

Your friend must enjoy being taken advantage of then. I prefer to buy things from companies that actually deliver what they've been paid for.

Re: Unwarranted Trumpanzee

'Elon probably won't sue'

Was that supposed to be a threat? Hilarious. But sad at the same time.

Re: Unwarranted Trumpanzee

Your abusive comments just go to prove my point. If you really think there's some kind of pride to be had in riding a bike (which is a crime, by the way) then there is no reasoning with you.

Re: Unwarranted Trumpanzee

If you think calling out criminals is 'right-wing frothing' then that tells me everything I need to know about you.

Isn't this (https://www.bicycling.com/culture/tesla-is-paying-employees-to-commute-by-bike) a crime? Ridin a bike is a crime as afar as I'm concerned.

A criminal waste of money, a criminal CEO and a criminal organisation. How many billions of taxpayer dollars have they stolen?

UK worker who sold customers' data to nuisance callers must cough up £1k

Re: Actual accidents

Bizarre. I had exactly the same call last week.

Because no one has ever confessed under duress, just to make their interrogators leave them alone.

No, that has never happened. Anyone who confesses must be guilty.

Nothing was proved

Good to see that mere facts are irrelevant once the MUH PRIVUHCY lynch mob is assembed.

What did we say about Tesla's self-driving tech? SpaceX Roadster skips Mars, steers to asteroids

Re: Not so green?

How much fossil fuel are you going to save by giving up your car? What's that you say? You're not going to?

Didn't think so.

Looks like Tesla owners are not content with running over Eathbound pedestrians, they're looking for extrterrestrials ones as well.

US broadband is scarce, slow and expensive. 'Great!' says the FCC

Certain people do.

Why do people think they have a 'right' to internet access at others' expense?

NASA's zombie IMAGE satellite is powered up and working quite nicely

As soon as they find a use for it

Maybe they can tell us what all that taxpayers' money was spent on. Or is that one of their jealously-guarded 'secrets'?

UK Home Office grilled over biometrics, being clingy with folks' mugshots

Only criminals have any cause to oppose this sort of data retention.

Epic spacewalk, epic FAIL: Cosmonauts point new antenna in the wrong direction

It's great to see taxpayers' mony being spent wisely.

Long haul flights on a one-aisle plane? Airbus thinks you’re up for it

Good idea

I'm going to take more flights to teach those enviro-nutters a lesson.

A tiny Ohio village turned itself into a $3m speed-cam trap. Now it has to pay back the fines

Another vicious unprovoked attack on the motorist

And meanwhile the 2 wheeled criminal thug brigde get away scot-free without paying any taxes - as usual. I wonder what might be behind that.

Nunes FBI memo: Yep, it's every bit as terrible as you imagined

Desperate attempt at deflection

Hardly surprising that the establishment machine is at full power trying to dismiss this news. They've been caught in the act and they don't like it at all.

Apple: iPhone sales are down (but they've never been more lucrative)

crApple are doomed

It's only a matter of time before they finally go under. Those taxpayer subsidies won't last forever.

Supermassive black holes scoff just one star per year, say space weight watchers

I'm glad to see they haven't been wasting their time with frivolities.

I'll torpedo Tor weirdos, US AG storms: Feds have 'already infiltrated' darknet drug souks

Permissiveness has gone too far

I'd like to see all those advocating drug use to be locked up as well as those who abuse and deal in drugs.

UK.gov mass data slurping ruled illegal – AGAIN

Edgy

> deputy Labour leader Tom Watson

Now we know who to blame the next time there is a terrorist attack that could have been stopped had we had intel on those planning it beforehand.

Dodgy parking firms to be denied access to Brit driver database

Funny how certain people seem to get away without any of this hassle isn't it?

If you've ever wondered whether the FCC boss is a Big Cable stooge – well, wonder no more

I'm glad this site has given up any pretence of objective or responsible journalism.

'He's at $location... catch him of you can'

Well that doesn't in the slightest bit sound like incitement... the hatred you have for him is a bit worrying now.

Hey UK.gov – cute tweaks to snoop regime. Your EU law reading needs work

Re: Crime in the UK today...

That should be punished far more severely.

Re: Reminds me of a story

I wonder if you'll be so intolerant and judgemental when you're old. Oh, but you're 'special', aren't you?

Intel alerted computer makers to chip flaws on Nov 29 – new claim

A bold - and libellous - claim. I'm sure you'll be looking forward to defending yourself in court.

Lenovo's craptastic fingerprint scanner has a hardcoded password

This is still Apple's fault.

Google slaps mute button on stupid ads that nag you to buy stuff you just looked at

Adding the ad-serving domain to my hosts file fixes that.

Here we go again... UK Prime Minister urges nerds to come up with magic crypto backdoors

Well my job is going to become a lot more interesting

Currently working on government IT... for which the security rules say we must use a VPN with strong encryption... which we can't because encryption bad.

I guess that means an end to remote access over VPN...?

Pope wants journalism like the Catholic church wants child sex abuse probes: Slow, aimless...

Re: It's been a while

The Inquisition didn't have any influence over the secular authorities. They were completely opposed to the executions.

Re: It's been a while

Not that tired old canard again. The Inquisition merely censured; the few executions that happened were carried out by the secular authorities.

Re: It's been a while

You might have a point if I were Christian, or even religious.

But I'm not.

Re: It's been a while

Hardly 'factual' when it is comprised entirely of lies against religious people.

Re: It's been a while

I have a problem with the constant hateful attacks against people of faith by the secularist media.

'...get away with murder' - Really? Name one person killed by religion then.

It's been a while

... since we've had this kind of vicious anti-religious hatred from The Register. In fact it's been at least a few days.

You *do* spoil us, don't you?

Microsoft whips out tool so you can measure Windows 10's data-slurping creepiness

It's still Apple's fault.
