is it just me

or does this sound very similar to the plot of the james bond film, tomorrow never dies, where they alter the gps to send a ship of course.

only this time, its being done wiht drones.

@ Steve Davies 3

and the reason these shop assistants use the calculator, is because even though the are capable of working it out, a lot of the customers insist that they cannot possibly have got it right.

Thumb Up

to those saying why windows

Just want to tell you that the checkouts in tesco where you have the operator do the work are mainly running on windows 95. and the stores that have self scan are only just using XP

another place i know of is still using windows 2000 on a til system that was put in this year.

yes, her tits down made the scales go tits up.

still, nice to see HR are being supportive to her now.

not surprising really

given that the GCSE course focuses on how to do transitions in powerpoint, and move the text about in word, its hardly surprising that people lose interest.

its also a key reason as to why school it technicians find so much crap in those broken down pcs. seeing how many crisp packets you can put in there through its front vent before it breaks is about as exciting as some lessons get. unless someone has found a new proxy that is

@ac 11.01

you dont even need it for 08 numbers

use saynoto0870.com and you can get the geographic number.

and if its a 0800, go to 0800buster and call that way

simples!

the pint? paid for with the savings on those calls

Black Helicopters

gps

it can work both ways. it can help you find somewhere or something or it can help someone/something find you.

black helicopter? yep. to find you

more to the point

what kind of admin would allow users the facility to even be able to use the usb ports of such a machine. allowing removable storage on a critical system is just asking for trouble.

if its not needed for it to work, why the heck is it enabled?

Martyn 4

and in other news

the owner of the only other one left is delighted to hear of its sharp increase in value...

Coat

the freeloader has been doing this for years now.

and it has the solar panel in addition to a battery pack and being able to provide power at the USB voltage.

mines the one with the freeloader in the pocket

FAIL

obvious

He also put Morris in touch with a purported ATM thief named Leo, who in reality was an undercover FBI agent.

Great choice of name there. how much more of a hint did he need.

mind you, BBC used sue windle and rob marks and people didnt get it did they.

fail icon, well
