Obviously legislation isn't the same everywhere. Inspections are pretty serious audits here. Worked at a couple of restaurants that weren't too hot on hygiene when I started but customers aren't as stupid as some of them look

As a restauranteur, I (very occasionally!) get calls from people accusing us of making them ill, threatening bad reviews and demanding vouchers or refunds. The majority of the time it's someone who tries the same scam on every restaura

Here in Britain there's a Microsoft advert at the moment (maybe elsewhere too, no idea) that says at the end of it "You don't expect to be able to draw on a screen" That's literally the only feature they mention. To

Only a matter of time before they do something about hotlinking. Direct image links now redirect to tell you to download their app, I'd be surprised if they didn't start watermarking embedded images or putting ads on them. Reddit

I love watches in the same way I love classic British sports cars. I love the designs and the decisions behind them, the stories of the designers and manufacturers, reading about how to dismantle and maintain them. If someone has an interes

Typical New Scientist really. I went to a lecture and Q&A with Alain Aspect when he visited my department in 2007 and he had a bit of a rant about how they had fundamentally misunderstood his work. They published an article claiming his
