    How long did they spend adapting to the change in conditions from 1973 to now?

    I know it's a hard question, there's digits to carry.

    For all that I know, phoning Brussels a few minutes before midnight last day with an "Oh, it all was a joke!" won't serve any purpose either.

    You don't know much, then. It's a matter of record that Article 50 may be revoked unilaterally.

    "Hard brexit" just means "no deal brexit" which is what the UK citizenry voted for in the referendum.

    I lost count of how many times I heard "The Germans will still want to sell their cars, the French will still want to sell their wine" and shit like that.

    What am I on about, it's Apple. ROFLMAO. Courage!

  7. Flashing HDD firmware is a prerequisite for the snooping [...] The researchers note that this technique does require a fairly loud conversation to take place near the eavesdropping hard drive.

  8. There's a joke about the absence of personalities/souls in there somewhere. Left as an exercise for the reader.

    I don't have the figures to hand, but I wonder how many of these it will need before Bezos has to sell one of his yachts.

    That statement is inaccurate. It presumes that they have a retail strategy.

    Yes actually, I just don't happen to live near any fat cunts.

    I can remember when every other story here was about how they were going to usher in a new industrial revolution and all that shite.

    He's so dapper, isn't he? Never see him with without a proper shirt and tie.

    You couldn't get bananas. They all went to the brave boys in the trenches you know. Unless you dropped your knickers for any Yank that walked by, that is. So I heard.
