Contemporary?

"Contemporary" for Radio 3 means 1957, doesn't it?

Nikon F series

I've got an old Nikon F2 - it's weighty enough to bring down an elephant in the right hands!

Patrick Bergin?

Wasn't he in Patriot Games?

And to think...

the arms trade normally gets such a bad press.

Not guilty of armed robbery perhaps...

But he should be arrested for crimes against grammar.

That's un oeuf egg puns

That is all.

Physiology

Worms can't limp. They haven't got any legs.

Comeovers?

Are you sure it's not combovers?

Disgusted

Surely he could have used custard creams.

Guarantee?

Who the hell can't spell guarantee?

Broccoli, now that's a tricky one.

Exploding marmalade?

How is DARPA not involved in this?

Obviously

This is much better than some cartoon tits.

Not that I'm a pedant or anything, but...

...there are six LEDs in that Apple logo.

Perhaps they're not trying to trade on MUMPS' success

At least if this is accurate: http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/A_Case_of_the_MUMPS.aspx

Great work DARPA...

How long must it have taken to come up with a name that produced the acronym SyNAPSE?

@Steve Sutton

It obviously works - I've never seen an elephant hiding in custard.

For servers too?

Surely not everything can be on the cloud - something needs to be the cloud.

X-Force?

Only an American company could have come up with that.

There was no good outcome for this case

It was like Jonathan Aitken vs Mohammed Fayed - they should both have lost.

So...

I give him $9000 and he spears my life anyway? Bargain.

Is it just me...

Or is that the least convincing Photoshop job ever?

Actually...

I think it is disk in this case, isn't it? Like program/programme.

Still, "grammer"?

Just to drag us briefly back onto the article, it's good to see there's something Blighty excels at - nobody designs a caning trestle like us.

Re: Benny Hill

Thanks, El Reg. Now I've got the music to the Benny Hill Show (Boots Randolph, if I remember correctly) in my head for the rest of the day.

@Mike

I see. So presumably the "extreme meausures" of bombing the shit out of a large part of the Middle East "employs" the extreme counter-measures of blowing people up everywhere else in the world. The fact that you apparently can't tell the difference between disabling a CCTV camera and (potentially) causing a helicopter to crash in an urban area makes me think that your spelling and grammar aren't the only indicators of your intellectual level.

Alternatively...

We could just teach people to drive.

Shame they've already shut down

Royce Brisbane (great name, incidentally) might have answered a call apparently coming from his wife's mobile number.

So it's only half as intelligent as the average human?

Not a great deal to worry about there then.

Mind-reading hat, eh?

Does it tell them which house they're in, as well?

The new Navy sonar system won't be a threat to Dolphins either

Presumably it's been outsourced to someone crap and won't work anyway, or will work but not in the sea, or something.

To be fair...

playing that shite for so long would drive me mental too.

@Jonathon Richards

Dammit. Out-pedanted.
