[12:52] gdpr gonna kill whois: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/10/26/whois_gdpr_europe/ [12:56] good [12:57] whois rules for co.uk are completely retarded [13:03] that's how you know they're important. the rules have been around long enough they make no sense anymore :-P [13:03] they never made sense [18:20] "it was Norks. but we won't show you any evidence though": https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/10/27/uk_gov_wannacry_blame_north_korea/ [18:50] zmoylan-samj3: what's your pixi?

[18:55] but 7" is too small and 10" is still a bit small for centre spreads [18:55] I'm still waiting for the 27inch tablet :-p [18:56] the huge ms surface desktop replacement jobbie might be 'it' [18:56] you can't lug that though [18:56] it's got a tail plugged into the wall [18:56] exactly so not a book reader [18:57] but that size screen. still a foldable, probably crumplable screen tech comes along they'll have to wait [18:57] *till a [18:58] the rumours are claiming apple are doing foldable next year [18:58] apple... rumours... [18:59] foldable chairs? [18:59] I'm still waiting for: https://shipbrook.net/jeff/graphics/GlobalLink/3DModel.jpg [18:59] good show [18:59] shame about the staffing issues [19:01] would be a good candidate to redo, IMO [19:02] hollywood has rebooted evrrything else... [19:10] i would like a new flash gordon as well mind [19:12] i worry about all those unemployed lizard rubber frill gluers [19:13] ok but Brian Blessed is mandatory [19:14] of coursr. we can cgi him and dub in the voice. we need him in recording booth recording phonetic alphabet [19:15] ...isn't he alive? [19:16] we need to digitise him before he karks it though [19:16] crazy bloke has done EVERYTHING though. including being the oldest guy to climb everest [19:18] D: [19:18] last pics i saw of him did not look hgood [19:18] :( that's a shame [19:25] the origins of IDSPISPOPD explained: https://youtu.be/3vHV5B77RM8 [20:01] don't you love when you're reading a document on the X website and it says "more information can be found on the X website" [20:01] like what do you think I'm doing?! [20:02] e.g. at icinga.com: More information can be found on the Icinga Website. [20:02] c.f. https://www.icinga.com/docs/icinga2/latest/doc/13-addons/ [20:02] diddledan: must be X rated [21:06] https://www.geek.com/tech/pirate-bay-founder-says-zuckerberg-is-the-biggest-dictator-in-the-world-1720817/ [21:12] i'm waiting for bezos to announce amazon uniform of black outfit with face concealing helmet... [21:14] i thought the 'amazon key' employees would wear balaclavas? [21:14] perhaps with just the 'a' imprinted on one cheek [21:16] and a handy blood group to speed up triage when the hero arrives... [21:32] you assume we have a hero [21:33] it's either Linus or Tux, right? [21:36] don't you read xkcd... stallman!! [21:37] i'm not sure that choice would fly [21:37] he's the hero everyone forgets about https://xkcd.com/225/ [21:37] no one ever said hero has to be nice [21:39] heh [21:41] wait, people are selling things they haven't even bought yet?! https://www.macrumors.com/2017/10/27/iphone-x-scalpers-craigslist-ebay/ [21:42] stock market has sold futures for yonks [21:42] lol [21:42] why shouldn't peasents? [21:44] would seem the low uptake on iphone8 was folk waiting for iphonex [21:45] why do I read that as "Eye Fonnex"? [21:47] because it's marketing doing stupid things with name of device that is really iphone 10 year anniversary model [21:48] so you drop a grand on an ipwn. break it. and pay half the cost of the machine to get it repaired: https://www.macrumors.com/2017/10/27/iphone-x-screen-repair-out-of-warranty-fees/ [21:49] only if you want the crappy 64gb version. that will fill fast. you need the 1200shekel version [21:51] whilest my 120shekel android phablet will take a 128gb card... [21:52] and of course, someone says "give an app permission to photograph you and there's a chance it can photograph you": https://www.macrumors.com/2017/10/26/developer-warns-iphone-camera/ [21:54] duct tape on my phones takes care of that. i keep meaning to price having microphone removed [21:56] in good old days apple put led beside camera so you'd see when it was activated. caught that school spying on kids
