Would have, if there were any.

Re: My next phone is a pixel

Actually... Pixels aren't *that* good. IMHO. Given how bloody expensive they are, I must admit I am pretty disappointed. Maybe read a few more reviews before buying. YMMV.

Re: It’s a promising update

> …wait, it’s what??

GA.

Which may come as a surprise, but I can explain:

GA translates to "general availability". This refers to the availability of the product itself, as in "you can buy this". Or rather, "could buy" (for whatever reasons).

Availability does not imply the availability of the services (theoretically) provided by the GA'ed product. (As if we didn't know already).

All aside, GA in terms of Micros~1 usually expands to "Going Alpha" - a broad outline of what might come to market sometime. If they could be arsed.

Re: Get a Dog, Learn to Bark

So, your company sucked at running a datacentre, but is able to properly design and operate a resilient cloud? sure thing...

Re: It's not very small, it's just very far away...

> you are relying on knowing how big that plane ought to be to understand its size.

Yep:

A320/A350/737/777/787: plane.

Same, but in vertical descent: 737-max.

BAe 146/A340/DC-10 bigger plane (all same due to "moar than two propellers-things")

747: 747, recognised due to wart on top.

A380: uuu, biig.

And, given the size and niche of the machine, it is something only needed by companies which could easily run their own datacentres at the same service level AWS offers. At same or less cost. They'd lose at buzzword bingo, though...

Re: Faxes?

I'd settle for just punching...

people.

with a hammer.

Re: Trust Boeing?

Additionally, we also do not trust quite a few things the dont't say or do. Because of reasons.

Re: fears of a skills crisis in the SAP user world could be alleviated

^ This.

Start now and you will make it.

Start in 2027 and you will make it ... onto the Register.

Re: Well that explains it

That is what they keep them for, isn't it? Bloody peasants...

Re: We've asked Huawei why it needed all those IP addresses. It hadn't responded

Still sitting in their hollowed out volcano and counting.

Re: He's not a politician though

Sure, being shot in a supermarket and only getting injured is so much better.

Sarcasm is wasted on you, lil coward, eh?

Attitude like yours is part of the problem.

Re: There's aways one...

> ASML also assured us

Not so quick, ASML. As anybody who has inadverdetly stepped onto a brick can tell, the components of said kit may very well fall under a weapons ban.

Re: The devil you know ... ?

Oh, stop being mean to the devil.

Well, it is a penal colony, can hardly be fun being around?

Re: Beware of hidden reefs when navigating waters prepared by yachtsman

Nope. To take *that* much money, you have to be a bank or a lawyer

(paraphrasing pTerry, can't remember the book, though)

Re: Tempting fate

> You are in your compromised account's home directory.

In this case, the visible files most probably are a couple of pptx, .xlsx, .wma and .jpg.

Certainly no .txt

Re: Seems something's semantic somewhere

Impossible - it is multi-offensive, no one would dare.

We just think along the same lines. So lets have the steward fetch a few cold ones :P

Toyota sells the Prius for 27 years now. They have picked up a few tricks in all those years, and it shows.

Given their past performance, FB will probably carry on as before and bet on not getting caught again.

Re: Multi-Fail

Doesn't have to be in an aircraft to relive this. Was innocent(-ish) trundling along the NC500, maybe possibly perhaps a wee lil tad above national speed limit, with an unsecured spare wheel in the boot of my station wagon. bridgecornerflatoutcompressionBUMP - huge impact to the back of my seat, breaking my zen. spare wheel made its way from the back of the car to rear passenger footwell. Obviously no one on the back bench, even my kids puke when I go that fast.

Still .. uncomfortable. A smaller object could easily have made its way into the windscreen, onto my lap or even down to the brake pedal.

Very uncomfortable.

screwed some proper eyelets into the boot that very evening.

Re: Is that Sim City?

Could be Brigador, sooner or later...

Re: Funding round ? For Boeing ?

> then the US government would have to [...] nationalisation.

A step which would destroy the PR China in a singe stroke. They'd all die laughing.

Sacrifice Dortmund to eradicate systemd?

Lets be on the safe side and sweeten the deal by adding Bavaria (minus Frankonia, obviously).

(Oh, this is going to be like Easter and Christmas on the same day. Forever).

Re: The future…

as will we.

Re: lots of brake wear

Some do, I think. Don't have that many new cars at my disposal. Last three were all Toyota: Camry, Swace (both with annoying ACC) and a GR Yaris. Latter hat ACC, but I did not get around to use it :)

My own cars come with regular CC (Scooby BRZ) or without (07' Impreza STI).

Re: Chips

If they would, certainly not based on the same imperial measurement. Consider fries based on "11/23 gauge of a reference potato"

Re: Quantity not quality

HELLO MY COMPLETELY NORMAL HUMAN FRIEND.

Re: I believe the expression we are all looking for is ...

Some things just have to be said, feelings nonewithstanding.

Re: Bullet dodged

> If anywhere should have a good attitude towards infosec you'd hope it would be the nuclear industry

Why? "The state" will rescue them anytime, anywhere. Less effort than "system relevant" banks required.

Re: $10m

Nutella? Yuck! Since Wander was bought by ABF, Caotina (and Ovomaltine) should be available to you. You may proceed from there.

Step aside, this is a job for the Meltagun.

Re: Oracle, seems I've heard that name before

Probably not. But significantly more expensive.

Re: Cunning plan.

Ohhh.. nononono... Revenue in Europe is only a few thousand Euros, barely breaking even. It is Eire only is making a profit, so this is where the tax comes in. All other countries? Ha, Philantrophy from apple, gracing the Europeans with their devices. Never made any money of thene, nu-uh.

seeee?

Re: "Best to just suck it up and master Delvish"

Do as the IRA/RAF do: cook your own semtex. Or use a bucket of Diesel mixed with Stryofoam and let the fire suppression system do the hard work when it detects the smoke.
