Custom Dictionary

Is only available, seemingly, with Japanese Ten Key keyboard at the moment.

Its a feature I requested and explained them for which seems like they've picked up on.

Hopefully it will be available for all keyboards.

The fanboi says

I can jump but it'd be pointless as i'll just keep going and going.. I never crash... NEVER.. NEVER!

*jumps*

Weee.. lalalaaaa...

Hmm, the ground is getting close..

*KERNAL PANIC*

The Windows User: "Theres a quick work around for that and a patch will come on Tuesday"

The Penguin: "Choose another distro if this one isn't right for you"

Amazing....

503 Error

Resource limit exceeded

If you are seeing this page, your site may be exceeding the allowed resources on the server. It could also mean your Mongrel instance has stopped. Please contact support for further information.

Is it?

Really?

Are you sure?

I've really not had any of this... 9.1 and 3.1.2 .. theeen now i'm on 4.0 Beta1...

Maybe i'm lucky!

Oh grow up.

OK so the user hasn't updated their IE... so what?!

If MS didn't have the ballot on a IE page and IE didnt exist, then no one could download the other browsers anyway and thus yet another complaint.

M$ aren't going to provide a browser install of their competitors in the installation of Windows or this Windows Update. Geez.

A user will simply click through the box or ask later... and when they get to the ballot screen.. Oh hello.

*THEY HAVE A CHOICE*

If they don't select Opera, get off your high horse and shut the hell up and make a better browser.

Fools. Utter fools.

Not once have I liked this screen due to the fact that its not fair to force M$ to support another browser. If M$ have to do this, so do Apple and Linux. Yeah, I went there!

Zzzzzz

OH geeez

Security experts have nothing better to do than tell us "DO NOT TRUST ANYTHING. EVER!!!!!"

You can't even trust Security Experts now.

BBC3 >>> BBC2

If BBC2 had BBC3 shows.. then fine. Get rid of it.

Young people my arse.

"1Xtra reaches a young audience that the BBC traditionally finds it hard to reach on any platform. Specifically, 1Xtra's 'unique' audience - people who don't listen to any other BBC radio output - is almost twice that of 6Music,” it told us.

Errm... No, BBC reach for black people.

Nothing on 1Xtra i've liked.. ever... i'm now 20 ...

Noticed this last year

And its taken this long?

This is far too funny

Watch a video that a liverpudlian is speaking in.

Watch it fail like a bitch.

Its really hilarious when it fails. It gets so far off it may as well be AOL.

Works here

Worked for me this morning, also at 12:30.

I think they love me.

Just tweeted

I just tweeted the exact tweet.

Awaiting to be arrested x

I'm from Telford

And I LOL at this man every day.

Has anyone pointed out to him you can't edit tweets?

The scum one appeard BEFORE the tweet without scum involved. He obviously deleted it.

This isn't the first time he has done this.

Hes drunk tweeted before and offended people. Hes a bit of a twat.

"default downloads directory on Vista and Windows 7 can now be used."

Ahem...

You can use it anyway. just manually set it.

Account Deleted & Re-Created

The account did exist before as I have seen other products from there.

It looks as if they deleted the account then recreated it.

Ballner?

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/01/23/ballner_defaces_macbook_pro/

Wait, what?

BALLNER?

now includes a data cache, so it doesn't have to hit your hard drive each time you use it.

Erm... so more RAM usage?

This is exactly what I hate about FF... RAM usage is getting stupid now.

But I already have Win7.

Apparently I have to reinstall Win7 for this?

Which is slightly pissy me off... Considering each install uses up a key.

Upgrade plzkthxbai.

Down here

iPhone going mental giving me errors saying it cant activate. Got no 3G Signal, only EDGE. Data failing miserably.

WIN!

Not just Brum/Wolvo

TV was down for the whole of the Midlands last night.

But the BBC arent charging

The BBC arent imposing the charge, MS are... therefore wheres BBCs problem?

They aren't getting any of the money charged. The charge is for the xbox live online service.

I dont see the problem :s. fools

WHY?!

Why HD on the Wii? The graphics are still crap and cartoony so whats the point?

Fail.

The push failed yesterday. Their servers couldnt handle the requests, Both XBL and Sky servers all failed.

It is due to be pushed out again today, Hopefully now they are balanced correctly! LOL.

I like this idea... but not sure on it yet. Maybe when it can be a service to MATCH Sky TV then that would be good.

Theres no BBC ITV or Channel4 stuff... But they are talknig to BBC to get the content on there, so we will see....

WONDERFUL release

I've had no probs with it at all. Through BETA and RC and now to Release. Its great!

Best Windows Ever.

Just... People with a Mac should wait for the Bootcamp update before they install.... as that can cause BSOD.

sort this this out

LMFAO.

Quite funny the other day... MSN had issues.. they all went to Facebook so Facebook chat started having issues.. then the facebook site had issues.

Twitter survived the MSN breakage, though.

Also noticed how Facebook have added twitter functionality - typing @ and the persons name to "tag" them in your posts... zzz

Next?

Telford

Internet in Telford has been very slow and dead stop for a few days now. Theres peaks of just pure lag.

zzzz!

Keyboard

Has keys missing?

where the hell is the question mark button? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Oh geez

I said this at the start.... But was never gonna pay so fucking much to prove the concept.

Still, who exactly is going to pay that much!?!?!

Sad face.. because it wasnt me that announced it with proof :( lol

For Pee Sake

Has anyone noticed how they are ignoring Apples shit completely?

Zzzzzzzz... I dont want Safari on my mac, I want IE. (giggles)

Oh come flipping on

They put what is needed

Now should MS change their icon so no one knows it?! idiots.

The list is ordered by popular browsers, IE is popular without a doubt.

Since when

Does "All night party" mean rave?

Titbags.

Not convinced its to do with Network

That would mean they would be sending to a number, and apple will be making sure that "this message" goes to "this number" and if "this number" does not match "this network" then "This message = Fail.

Where as I thought it was sending to a unique address, like an IP, which matches the iPhone and not the user. In which case network shouldnt matter.

If the Dev Team can't fix this, then its most likely apple DID do this on purpose, to piss people off that unlocked their phones because they dont want the shitty crappy bunch of twatty limitations that they set.

*Stokres his jailbroken ipod touch 2g*.

I hate Apple, with a passion... but I love the iPhone/iPod Touch... But only when jailbroken.

Tweetdeck

on Tweetdeck you can set it so, when you click a URL you can see where its going to take you before the page even loads. Infact before it even loads a browser window!

This is very very helpful in separating the spam and the legit!

so if you are tweeting, get tweetdeck.

Warm?

Maybe its heat related!

....

iPod Touch 2G

my iPod Touch 2G takes about 10 seconds to get quite hot as soon as you start a game.

Its always to the left of the dock connector too!

Also does it when charging... and the USB connector has started to get hot too now.

Charge whilst driving

Wouldnt it be sensible for the car to charge its own batteries when the wheels are moving?

Moving wheel --> Generator --> Battery --> Motor

Or is that just too easy and too cheap?

*WAT!

Just can't help but call it TWAT instead.

Overhype about nothing!

Seriously, its not a problem at all and can easily be fixed by going into a folder, press ALT to show the menu bar, click tools - folder options and untick the "Show known extentions" bit... taadaaaa!

I admit that by default they should have this unticked... But its not a massive problem as people make it out to be :/

If you try to open a .jpg.exe and you find its opening a dos prompt or something rather than your default image viewing program then you need a slap :/

Slight Flaw...

Nee noorr nee norr neee nooroooorrorrrororrrr...... *silence* ... "Oh F**K, Ran out of leccy!" & Robbers get away......

RE: Minimum Spec & Re: NEVER

Re: Minimum Spec:

Lets just say, If you have XP Pro working perfectly, Windows 7 should too.

It is MILES better than how Vista handeled.

Give it a try.

I tried it in a VM and noticed the difference straight away.

RE: Never.

I upgraded from Vista to Win7BETA and experience no problems.

At all.

I'll be doing the same to the RC.

Dank je wel :)

LMFAO!

Was reading the original comment from Sarah... And as much as I agreed I thought ... Nah ... I can't see any mods on "Da Reg" to suddenly lose the fucking plot like that! So i left until now to comment :P

Well done Sarah - Best April Fools i've seen all day!! Beats the Funeral offering anyway...

Birmingham Airport...

THere is a drink machine RIGHT OUTSIDE security.. Anyone seen that?

I bought a drink... from the machine... then queued up for the security.

Had one sip and the woman shouts at me to throw it in the bin

I mean cmon... Its obvious its a frickin drink...

Vista?...

Thats asking for fail.

RE: On the side of good news

Shut up, No it's not.

Same thing happened to a friends Nokia N95.

None of the buttons would work, charge wouldn't work and screen was waterlogged.

After as much drying as possible and leaving it alone for the night and drying with a hairdryer again it works.

Does that make the N95 a jesus phone?

No, Didn't think so.

The Register FAILS at polls!

You can answer every single one anyway :P

You can also spam the same answer by refreshin the page.

Shame on you Reg! :P
