Snowden: You can't trust SPOOKS with your DATA

Optional

Well, this is getting increasingly sticky with the general populace. But, at least the plan with the cats worked.

Re: WTF?

Certainly for me, they've managed to completely mess up site navigation, too. OK, I wasn't expecting to be very impressed, but I was expecting to be able to go back.

"What were they thinking?"

I think that you are misunderstanding the development process here. The 't-word' is one that just does not apply.

This tool demands access to YOUR ENTIRE DIGITAL LIFE. Is it from GCHQ? No - it's by IKEA

I was going with:

They can have my data. It's all ones and zeros. Now all they have to do is put it together.

but the missing Allen key is good, too.

TomTom GO 6000 satnav chews on smarties and tablets

I think that's the same 'mag latched' connector as the 1000 go Live!. This is not a very old product, although you could argue that it has now been made obsolescent by the newer 400/500/600/6000 series.

As far as I've been able to tell, you have never been able to get a lead for this connector from a physical store of any of the 'usual suspects' for sat nav sales (eg, Half-frauds, Currys, John Lewis). Maybe they have existed and I've missed it, but I've just never seen one.

This seems like poor support.

You do feel that they sent the wrong clowns on holiday, don't you? I mean, who would have objected to paying for the flight to Brazil on public funds, particularly if it was one way. Money well spent (for a change)!

Oh yes, I see. Well then, who, apart from the ghost of Margaret Thatcher and the Brazilians, who I suppose do have a stake.

"In other news, Rockstar, the gang behind Grant Theft Auto V, was smacked hard..."

OK, and this may just be evidence of how out of touch I am, is there really evidence that Rockstar have been stealing grants. Otherwise, its just going to be a slightly dull game, isn't it, and one with little excuse for a banging backing track, and the gratuitous outbreak of gratuitousness that makes games selling propositions?

OTOH, you'll probably find enough sad individuals of whom I may or may not be one, who'd at least give it a go. I mean, you don't know until you've tried, do you?

It might work, but I think games about Satanists stand more chance. Satanists and World Domination (with extra smacking, if they are very naughty Satanists)? Now there's an not-a-marriage made in somewhere-or-another!

"Ross William Ulbricht was arrested in the science fiction section of the Glen Park public library in San Francisco "

Stupid unoriginal b*stard. Why always the SF section, even if the SF section in SF, which is possibly slightly cooler?
