Re: Meanwhile .....
OFFCOM empoyees sit and do nothing (apart from laugh at us because they are on 100K+ a year), being in place to protect the industry and regulate the consumer.
There, fixed it for you.

> One simple question remains unanswered: do we actually need those agreements?
The one simple answer is that if the current Hegemon cannot effect an economic capture of the EU at this time, it is more than likely that European nations will buy into the New Silk Road, running from the Pacific to the Atlantic. It is the Yankee pathetic vision of international affairs (and game theory), that this must inevitably make them an also-ran. So critical is this thing to the Hegemon that drafts of TTIP are not being released to national governments. Indeed, any final agreement cannot be published for 3?/5? years.
Think Bhopal w/o legal redress. Think Deepwater Horizon without legal redress. Worse: think of the muppets negotiating this agreement
The conceptual difficulty here is how any such reverse shockwave might be big enough to be noticeable. How would one measure the presumed shockwave in emptying a bucket of water - presumably the shockwave due to air impeding your emptying the bucket?
What is beyond dispute is that if I hold a telescope to my eyepatch (Lord Nelson, natch, rather than Pirate Bay) no-one can say I don't see unicorns.
Shock and awe. Iraq 2003 meet cosmology 21st century style.
With G**gle's googlewashing of the meaning of 'read' and 'search', this also has a useful new meaning. Think about IT for a moment -> virtual postcards.
Aren't you thinking: subsubversion of G**gle's subversion. It's here, it's ready (AFAIK), and waiting for your... uhh... call. So, why give the NSA a little 6k email nibble, when you can give it a massive 600k byte JPG attachment; or if you're feeling particularly fractious AND|OR vociferous, a 6GB movie of what you did on you holidays to have, to hold - and to crack if they can.
Spell something like stegasaurus but with different phonemes on the end.
Have a nice day, NSA. You've really screwed the pooch with this one.
Literally correct, but otherwise confusing etymology and sociology. Are we sure there is no star it is (not) orbiting? Why, just the other week, they found another star in the Fomalhaut configuration. Obviously what they need is a Bigger Telescope (or perhaps a Bigger Machine to run a Bigger Database).
"other countries were not affected". And howTF would Voda Germany know about the status of servers in other countries anyway? Since when has Germany taken over the EU, lol?
It turns out this is not the first time that Vodaphone have been seriously deep pwned. Here: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/07/11/greek_mobile_wiretap_latest/
Fingers in the security budget again?

I cannot believe I read this. Perhaps they ought next to find out if the system is actually capable of winning at Whack-a-Mole (simulated, natch).
I suspect less that senior Beeboids are all fans of Zen & the Art of M/cyle Maintenance, more that they've all imbibed (passively by osmosis for the most part I suspect) far too deeply of the kool-aid that is hegelianism. From where it is just a short intellectual hop to marxism, and then onto the Garden of Delights that is fabianism and communitarianism. (I say 'hop', probably better is 'inadvertent trip').
A curious thing about all those -isms is that none foster self-awareness - in all of them, someone else not you determines what is true/valuable on account of self-proclaimed superior self-awareness. (Goodness, even St Richard of re/con/d/Evolving doesn't claim that for himself exclusively).
I'll trade you my synecdoche for your metonymy. Rather than the number of gizmos per unit pleb, perhaps one should count inventors - using as a proxy perhaps (not altogether accurately in this age of climate scientology, tho) scientific papers published per unit boffin, in which the UK comes out quite well. Or, more entertainingly, National Treasures in the Tech Dept of UK plc? Y'know, like SirTim. </blush>
Hahaha. True. But it's not clear to me why a Perl mess should evoke merely meh, wheres a C++ mess (or a C mess, for that matter) - and it is invariably code you didn't write - evokes the reaction that the author was an incompetent idiot who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a serious compiler.
And the energy density of a unit eco-lune is...? Not that it matters much when there are so many available. A finite resource? Of course. One can never predict (oops, 'project') when the next bunch of incendiaries will turn up, only that the Creator seems to have guaranteed there always will be some for the rest of us to burn.
It's worse than we thought. Directional ultrasonic acoustic devices have been in existence 10+ years, operating in the utlrasonic 200kHz-220kHz range to carry audio which is demodulated using sum and difference tones within a small space confined by the acoustic collimation. For example, combining 201.000kHz and 200.000kHz creates an intermodulation tone of f1-f2 which is 1.000kHz. The perceived effect is uncanny - you take a step into the 'hot' spot and suddenly you u hear music. Practical devices havs been investigated by the Coca-cola company to create an 'ambience' around vending machines, and by the US DoD in higher power versions to create a different kind of 'ambience'.
Big Oil started taking the credit for saving the whales, as well as creating economic development. And Big Shale should start describing how it's going to save the trees, as well as create economic development.
You see, sometimes you can have your cake and eat. The miserabllists hate that.
Your are correct about Human-Engendered Climate Change being real, but not in the sense you intended. The danger, as the screed from the UN Durban jamboree showed, is the the eco-totalitarian astroturfers of the UN would like to implement policies which reduce atmospheric CO2 to levels at which plants fail to grow, thus endangering not just humans, but the whole food chain. Somehow the concept of eugenics doesn't quite cover this.

Set RPEnabled in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer from 1 to 0...
So...
add "RPEnabled"=dword:0
Auto set (DISABLE Metro) (save as ".reg" file):
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"RPEnabled"=dword:0
Set to "dword:1" to enable again

This >> Activities are open systems. When an activity system adopts a new element from the outside (for example, a new technology or a new object), it often leads to an aggravated secondary contradiction where some old element (for example, the rules or the division of labor) collides with the new one. Such contradictions generate disturbances and conflicts, but also innovate attempts to change the activity. <<
Is pure marxian dialectical materialism. And no-one at Nokia spotted it...? So, the USSR did manage to strike from beyond the grave.
