In the UK to own a gun you need to have a good reason to do so. This is usually by being a member of a gun club, and getting a license to own a gun. Once you have a club membership and a license you then need to start speaking to the police

I kinda went through this when I joined my current employer. My boss's emails were (are) at worst unintelligible and best hard to follow, weirdly formatted and generally hard to grok. Usually they are just blocks of text that are one b

I dont think people fully realise how novel Stripe actually is. The idea of capturing payments via an API itself isn't unique, but the fact that as a company Stripe is actually on average pretty competent. I've never had an issue

Hearing some of these stories of Belfast its hard to believe. Flew out of both Belfast International and Belfast City airports last year and they are by far the best airports I have ever had the luxury of travelling through. Out of Belfast

Cannot wait for another version of Lua to sit unused basically everywhere. Truly is a shame, everything seems to have settled on 5.1 for the most part without ever being updated, or any intention of it being updated. Some really nice featur

Ooh very nice. Going to keep an eye on this, because while qlabs is nice, it certainly is up there in price for some features I require. Just had to spend nearly 100$ on renting it for this week! Any plans on supporting video playback and r

I have recently taken a job with an American based company and will need to complete a few weeks training in Miami. Based on the information they have given me I need a B1 visa and maybe an ESTA since I'm in the UK, and a C-1/D fo

All these people talking about voluntarily giving their kid Linux. When I was 12 or so my Dad installed Linux on my laptop as punishment because I kept installing viruses on Windows. I suppose it definitely helped with my knowledge of Linux
