Re: Surely...

Mega Maid reporting in!

Re: A salient lesson

Fastest invocation of Godwin's law I've seen for a long time. Either that or a superb bit of trolling.

Re: The worst customers...

Or the old "Do you know who my Father is?" to which the correct response is "I don't know, have you tried asking your mother? Or did he scarper after the first night?"

Re: YEAH! DO IT M*THERF&CKER!!!

But, think of all the lens flare!

I'd suggest you search for something different to help with that...

Re: Or page 3

I tend to read the stories on page 3. They're quite good...

Re: Colour me surprised

Same load of old guff as the last bunch and the lot before and before etc etc.

I swear, it seems as though the home office is stuffed with wormtongues who whisper into the ministers ears and they dutifully plod out and spout forth this nonsense and rightly get mocked for it. Far better to find out who keeps telling these hapless ministers that encryption needs weakening and then drum them out of the place before someone actually tries to push it through

Phosphor burn maybe? Perhaps he sat there and looked longingly at the C: prompt for hours. More likely, he left it like that when he went home, the C: prompt glowing away happily in the darkened office, slowly burning itself into the monitor permanently...

Re: It's "Kontoauszugsdrucker"

Did you fall asleep at the keyboard or is that a legitimate word in use? Or is it one of those, like that Welsh station name, that was sort of made up for promotional purposes...

Re: The last points...

Don't worry, Dynalar have your details and will be paying a "visit" later...

"Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it? You lose your keys, it's aliens. A picture falls off the wall, it's aliens. That time we used up a whole bog roll in a day, you thought that was aliens as well. "

"Well we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did? "

"Rimmer, Aliens used our bog roll? "

Re: Allo Allo

I was wondering if we'd see a mention of the nicked knockwurst...

Thumbs up for reminding me mystic meg. Actually, it was for reminding me of Sceptic Peg

Indeed, they even developed and fired an atomic artillery cannon. Also, and I bet you thought the Fatboy was a funny fictional device? Think again, here's the M65 Nuclear Rifle. Madness...

Re: "Lindsay happy to turn on Kettering"

I swore she also mentioned something about ticking the box? If so, that's the other 50% sorted.

Don't worry, I've got it and I'm going...

Re: Visioneering?

They'll need these "healthineers" to repair their broken arms after they've finished slapping themselves on the back...

Re: Upvotes only?

Steamy brown badge? Could be useful

Though, you have a point about the up/downvotes tending to build an echo chamber. Moving away from them and using a wider range of ratings perhaps? For example:

- Like

- Dislike

- Informative

- Twaddle

- I want your babies

- Idiot

That laugh was worthy of Murray!

Re: Planet Nine?

Prefer Mondas myself. Though, we need to be wary of any metallic like objects spotted on the surface and be suspicious of any Earth bound polar stations going mysteriously quiet.

Re: A boondoggle through and through and now ejection seats are also a problem?

"I think the Brits need to be pissed off also, since their shiny, new carriers will have nothing to carry for a few more years."

Well, to be fair, it's our own fault for flogging off the Harrier fleet until the replacement is ready. Hopefully, we won't get involved in something that requires too much force projection and carrier support...

Re: Failure is not an option

Upvote up for channeling Inspector Grim

May its google infected corpse rot in silicon hell (along with Photobucket) with all the photocopiers and fax machines

See you in silicon hell!

Re: ""new opportunities for our own intelligence services"

Well, judging by the current state of IoT, I'd say they hardly need backdoors when the frontdoor hasn't even been planned in...

Re: That Minority Report reference...

I think it's more a long the lines of "It is highly probable that you will offend in the future. Thus, for your safety, please wear these tags so that we can monitor you. What? Pay no attention to that CCTV camera outside your home and that tracker in your car"

Re: Osborne's future

Austerity? What austerity. See, if Labour had some sort of a clue between them, shredding the current government would be a piece of piss. Just focus on the mess Osbourne is making with the country's finances and hammer home his continued hamfisted attempts at running the exchequer. Instead you end up with that dinosaur Corbyn and his entryist Militant Momentum cronies focusing on trivia, obsessions with the spare room subsidy, and generally trying to "Draw lines" whatever that means.

In related news, HMRC hopes to rake in a few million in grabbing the odd person making a tiny income on fleabay. As they say, it's not what you know, it's who you know (and can bribe)...

Details man, Details!

Never mind, found it!

Re: Does anyone even know how many online games there are?

Aye, and many games could probably generate endless false positives:

"Lets nuke the city!" (C&C Generals)

"Right, lets go be terrorists!" (Counterstrike)

etc etc

Heaven forbid anyone discuss the end of the original C&C Nod campaign "Blow the white house/Eiffel Tower/Houses of Parliament/Brandenburg Gate". They'd run out of fuel constantly scrambling the black helicopters.

And that's before they start reading the dross and bile that some individuals spew onto the chat and speech channels.
