The RN and USMC I can understand but what purpose does this plane serve for the RAF? Surely they're not still hiding out in German forests waiting for the Warsaw Pact to attack?

We are talking about Oracle here, right?

The correct term would be "astromech"

...using Russian government sub contractors?

Were they all written by different people?

Never heard this one before but it's cute, I like it. No idea what the accepted usage is but I'm sure I could work it into a sentence or two.

What the hell does that even mean?

What the hell have web ads got to do with Microsoft? I'm sure they make a lot of money but so does washing detergent and oil refining. I don't understand why Microsoft thinks it can or should own this market.

Since when are "tolerance, listening, communicating with others and contributing to the community" political values?

It wouldn't suprise me that the cool looking dark grey paint isn't particularly important to reducing the F/A-22 signatures, but what I'd like to know is how much did LM charge the customer for it?

...because "cheesymite" is a generic term in Australia (vegemite + cheese) therefore Kraft couldn't own it.

So what was it an ad for?

Passphrases are the way to go

You don't have to write them down to remember them

They are long and complex

They do not appear in the dictionary

You can also substitute misspellings and special character to make them extra salty

Remember folks, in Australia distribution of all sexually explicit content is illegal, except by mail order from vendors located in the ACT.

Sounds like a good thing. These guys already have solid server+storage offerings, why should Cisco enjoy a (near?) monopoly on networking?

Unfortunately Senator Minchin's comments have no more substance or credibility in this case than any other form of political mud slinging.

Believe it or not, Senator Conroy saying critics of the scheme are pro-child porn.

These people just want to make sounds with their mouths, they don't care if what comes out means anything or not.

It doesn't sound like this new law will be particularly onerous on the marketeers. As long as they don't ask anybody what their age is they won't be knowingly dealing with minors.

Almighty Mozilla!

Because they're not selling out completely, just reducing their stake, and they want the new majority owner to be capable of making a profit, which they will get a cut of (or alternatively, they want the new owner to increase the value of the business so they can sell more of it later at a higher price).

Except he gets paid to love Windows, a true fanboy does it for free

Well what term would you use to describe IT Professionals such as Paul Thurott and he ilk?

Just people who hate Macs, people who can't afford a Mac and paid spokesmodels.

Because Toshibas have had a custom power management util for quite a while now. Also, where's the 15 inch model?

Actually Jesse, human rights are universal, regardless of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs.

Bad Uighurs! No Internet for you!

It's not that much to ask, is it?

If ETA really is planning a "massive DDoS" how does arresting this guy avert it?

...they can just ask Lockheed to sell them a new formula paint at massive expense!

The verdict: guilty

The sentence: promise not to do it again

The Roadster isn't the be-all-and-end-all of Tesla's product line, it's just their first offering. In many ways it's a PR stunt designed to generate interest in electric cars and the Tesla brand, and dispel the myth that electric cars are slow poor performers.

Their next product will be the "family sedan" Model S which is at the low end of totally unaffordable but who's to say Nissan's first production electric car will be any cheaper? Besides the S could be the next big fashion accessory, the automotive equivalent of the iPhone.

Dear Reg

Please include the following in future reviews of these type of products:

Idle and under load temperature and noise measurements

Pics of the interior of the case

It's all well and good to say it's quiet and cool but let's have some numbers. Also describing the shape of the PSU or the layout of the cooling systems isn't as effective as showing it.

Thanks

Adam

It's unlikely in practice these engines will be retrofitted to existing airplanes for the reasons you mentioned. They will most likely be available on new Airbus A320s from about 2015.

...direct video e-commerce?

I agree. The whole bundling of non-removable car sound systems thing is a massive ripoff. If you want better sound you used to be able to get the system of your choice from the local shop and plug it in, nowdays you need to purchase a whole new model car and you're still limited to the two or three different sound systems the manufacturer offers. Bastards.

There's always the option of installing Windows 7 RC-1 on the new PCs and giving them to staff to use now, then upgrading to the retail version when it is released.

So the idea that you can configure your proxy server to automatically add adlt=strict to any www.bing.com URL it sees? Does Microsoft ISA server have this feature?

Or do they expect naughty school boys to append adlt=strict to all their searches?

Imagine the sort of experiments this guy could perform up there - determining the feasibility of juggling in space, tight-rope walking in space, trapeze acrobatics in space, staging profitable public displays in space...

This is the end of the Porn Proof Fence.

Voluntary codes of conduct are something industries engage in to prevent otherwise inevitable govermnent-imposed regulation. In this case government regulation is not inevitable, it is virtually guarenteed not to happen. Therefore there is very little pressure on the ISPs to conform.

The best Conroy can hope for at this stage is the ISPs will throw him a bone in the form of an opt-in value added filtering service their customer's can choose to buy (with hardware supplied at government expense?). But given the poor relationship between the honourable minister and the ISP community, even that may be too much to ask for.
