"Yep. Just because Windows finally gets it, doesn't mean it's no good"

No..

"By downvoting me you therefore seem to be agreeing with the BBC's stance."

In other news, the Reg commenter Khaptain has had a charge of libel filed against them by a Mr. Ebola Virus. In a brief statement to the press Mr. Ebola vehemently denied being anything near as bad as Mr. Murdoch and vowed to pursue the case to the fullest extent of the law.

Checkpoints with armed guards asking people for their documentation? Most people are content to ignore anything that doesn't make their own lives difficult or inconvenience them overly much.

I wouldn't trust the US with it either..

If her argument is that she is the definitive vapid, airheaded bint, well...the case might be a slam-dunk for her..

Re: cant this be solved

I was thinking the exact same as you, then I read the initial comments and came to the conclusion that the writer may have a valid point.

Re: Outgassing

I'd much prefer if he could stop the rabid iFans from outgassing on various public forums.

Re: False feeling of control

"The spies can get into deep shit if they overstep the boundaries and embarrass their superiors, so they have to be careful what they do and will probably show some restraint."

You can't embarrass the shameless.

Re: No win.

The people banging on about Free Speech conveniently choose to ignore that 'Free Speech' does not include any kind of freedom from the repercussions of your speech. It's called personal responsibility. Something, it appears, that isn't very popular with a certain type of people.

Hitler is on the internet? Wait, of course he is, everyone is on the internet, does he have a facebook account, or twitter? I bet a look at his friend/follower list would be quite interesting...

Re: To be fair, home taping was a spectacular failure

I'm pretty sure the music industry has been trying to off itself the last several years...

Re: Everything with a hole in it is a vagina?

"there's a hole, and there's a vagina. True, there's an ass hole... but this stadium is definitely NOT shaped like an ass hole."
