Re: This article is a stub.

Such as signing up for the RegCast™?

however, the best thing to happen to DAB was Radio 5 Live :)

Re: I need to juggle lots of email accounts.

the BB10 hub is excellent. i got a Z10 as a corporate trial and have been using it heavily since launch date. just like the article says, management of different message types and accounts is very very good.

it has totally replaced my personal android device which was running 4.1

the phone may have been "free" to me, but it doesnt stop me recommending it to all my friends as a really good device. the camera is pretty good too, excellent pictures from the polo festival this weekend :)

Re: ...to 11 storeys...

London is mostly built on earlier bits of London, and clay. Unlike New York, where it is rock underneath. So build something too high/heavy and it will sink.

I "commuted"* 400 miles to cornwall for my first contract. that might as well have been another country (lovely in summer, miserable and wet in winter). spent a very enjoyable 2 years there :)

Beer, because its summer and I wish i was back there surfing or swimming in the sea...

A better way...

I think the best way to mark sponsored/advert tweets would be to begin the tweet with the following:

"This is a sponsored tweet from *company name* about "product name*.

How many characters left for the "important message"?

Re: Anyone else thought of Vaultec?

Give me a powerfist and i'll be a happy wandered :)

giganews subscription.

job done :)

we recently advertised for a mid-level avaya voip lead and got only 8 respondents. you could say thats an advantage to recruiting in the flatlands of the UK. however we are yet to find out how shallow the voip talent pool is in this locale...

upvoted purely for rocketjumping and quad damage comments. Now if you had managed to get the grapple in there too that would have been a full house :)

Re: I reckon the other source had it spot on

That's so good, and accurate, I have just printed it out and stuck it on the kitchen wall as a reminder to the ever expanding mass of PHB's I have the (mis)fortune of working with/for/alongside

Made my day :)

Not socialist..

Yes but...you have to agree in the UK the average Labour voter is a communist bastard in disguise.

Re: Nice piece

take a wild guess?

Re: The G Bomb!

calm down dear :)

Re: Waze ? for what ?

your feedback loop comment is exactly how my tomtom satnav (825 GO) works with its onboard SIM card. its a neat feature but here in east anglia theres not a huge choice of routes i can take to avoid any problems.

Re: Good

you can say that again (ios bugs). several of my 3750 stacks are reporting millions of deformed packets per day even tho theyre totally clean.

Re: We wish you a merry...

Well, an asset stripping company has bought shares and wants a place on the board so now is the time to start drawing lots on which arm of the company will be sold off next - and how many months until we see the end of Quantim as we know it...

Re: Thoughtcrime

i already have an ID card. not one of the government types admittedly. but it does get me into such interesting places are government facilities and prisons*

*and perhaps most importantly, allows me to leave!

following on

how large were the images and were they thin or thick provisioned. these factors are an important metric in deciding is this is genuine speed, or just another massively favourable sales pitch.

Re: Fond memories!

me too :)

when i saw the screengrab, my first though was "thats the amiga workbench". nice, utilitarian (as already mentioned) GUI.

Re: Vermin

all you need is a wheelybin :)

Re: eBuyer

me too. lucky for me, it arrived just as i was heading out the door last friday morning so had the pleasure of showing it off to my workmates (all infrastructure geeks too). then utilised the friday night hotel wifi to browse/fondle/nerd out

i like it, sygic satnav on it is very good btw. download all maps locally.

Re: "attempting to prove his kills"

BOOM HEADSHOT!

Re: 2001 obelisk

when do they get to the beating with bones part?

Re: An excerpt of the stolen code

at a guess, because its the source code build files (not a coder, excuse my terminology) in the screenshot and not the actual line by line code itself.

regardless, according to the article its ESX which is based on *shhh dont tell anyone* redhat linux.

ESXi is the significantly better and more recent hypervisor from vmware which pretty much eliminates all the attack vectors exposed in the previous ESX/redhat OS.

everyone has upgraded their infrastructure to ESXi by now, havent they? ;-)

neither did my zipstick

Re: I smell elections coming

i read that as electrons. all this talk of nuclear power, must have jolted something

sorry :)

gotta take off first, before nuking the site from orbit

agreed :)

i spent a couple of years working away (living on expenses, natch) and came back to find i could barely fit into the seat of my weekend toy car. so dont make the seats wider, make the drivers more healthy.

too fat to drive? you're donald ducked then :)

good point, exactly how fast would a 3G wankel rotary 'phone be?!
