  1. Elon is THE MAN on ISS Captures SpaceX Dragon Capsule · · Score: 1

    Elon Musk is THE MAN. So very impressed with him and his team. If I could buy shares I would do, and not expect a dividend, just reinvestment.

  2. Re:Bamboozle on Millions of Brits Lose Ceefax News Service · · Score: 1

    Loved the pixel faces and crappy graphics. Made good use of the colour buttons too!

  3. Wife got it first on Google Rolls Out Official Android 4.0 ICS Update · · Score: 1

    And she had no idea what it meant. I bought us same phones last year and I'm still on 2.6. Gutted. Come on Google send me some love.

  4. Re:Memories on 30 Years of the BBC Micro · · Score: 1

    Awesome! At my school we got to play it if you were good all week. I was about 8 too. Great memories.

  5. Re:It's not Aspergers, it's deeper than that. on Obama Won't Intervene Over British Hacker McKinnon · · Score: 1

    Very well put and if I had mod points...

  6. Policy on On-Call-IT Assists In Government Data Destruction · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why is there no policy in the government that means his use of another company to remove data from his system was an automatic breach with serious consequences. I have implemented that policy in my company, namely don't install unapproved software or attempt to change any setting at all without IT approval.

  7. Shared Standards and monilink on Bank on Your Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    There is a service in the UK called Monilink http://www.monilink.co.uk/ which seems to work very well, and it pretty mature technology wise. Would be better to have a standard system shared by the banks like this is than a separate system for every bank.

  8. Screwed me over the other day.... on Microsoft's Music Subscription Service · · Score: 1

    I found a tune I wanted on the UK MSN site, so went to download it. I checked the FAQ first and was told that I only needed WM player 7 or above. So I went to get the song. I paid 69p for it having to make a credit first. Then I got taken to a page where I was informed that I had to download Music Manaager software BEFORE I could download and play the song. This was NOWHERE in the FAQ. So I cancelled the subscription, and complained informing them that I used another provider instead, and was extremely disappointed in the sly tactics at getting me to install DRM software. GOt my money back at least, but peed off anyway. DON'T USE MSN MUSIC IN THE UK!!
