You've got to love Frankie Boyle for saying it how it is. I suspect that the timing of this isn't coincidental as well on the basis that: 1. It was just after the allegations of these files being lost was made (5th July) 2. Everyo

I'm not sure most MPs give a shit about this. From experience, having written to a few over similar issues going back to the original RIPA, a blanket "there there terrorism bad m'kay" reply is about all you'll get b

I'm seriously considering that as an option at the moment. England is turning into a surveillance state (something I have been warned many a time to keep one eye on by a good friend who lived through some bad shit in East Germany), hal

That's a perfectly good review of the situation. You know when they try and sneak something in that the system is broken. The question we have to ask: Do these people really represent our best interests at this point in time? If the an

Handling 60 SKUs of similar products is a big problem. Multi-variant stock control and supply chain management is troublesome at best. If one of your stores runs out of green widgets and another one only has red widgets until Tuesday, how d

I'll use it. I take a lot of payments from eBay via PayPal so I might as well just zap it from there rather than wait for it to clear into my bank.

We use all of them. I wish we didn't. I think that's the norm.

Apple actually seems to care about not selling lemons where possible (unlike other large brands I can mention). That at least gives them slightly more credibility in my eyes. They seem focussed on that over all the other supposed corporate

The 12 year old in me spent way too much time looking at that :)

Ok thanks. That's well under my age so I understand. Does it replace "TXT SPK" which I'm still too old to use and find terribly annoying? (I'm sounding like a right grumpy old git here)

These look really cool as does the technology, but I don't think I've ever used Emoji past a couple of ASCII smilies. My Android handset seems to have them but I don't use them and neither does anyone else I know. Is this a c

And if you think that's bad, you want to see the insurance sector! Data loss is good for insurance businesses in the long run...

Oh it certainly does. You cannot beat a good choir. That doesn't necessarily mean you need to subscribe to the content. The same can be said for hip hop :)

Ok I agree with the precision argument but through rounding that could be construed as 100%. Perhaps a fair option would be: 1. Discuss the issue at hand. 2. Provide a 30 second to 1 minute summary of other hypothesises and how they have or

What's Songs of Praise then? Worship thy sky daddy to prevent evil demons sent from hell to colonise the earth!

That doesn't mean they're right or proposing different hypothesis' is suddenly forbidden. That's not science. Aristotelian physics was superseded by Newtonian Physics. That's science. I'm not suggesting that an

They should ban Songs of Praise as well then... Edit: if you're going to down vote at least have the balls to explain your position.

That sucks. If someone has an opinion, it should be free to be debated. The only way we can fight ignorance in science is with public debate. If someone wants to deny it, fine (otherwise it's not science) but put the hypothesis on the

Ok my bad there. Last time I looked there were no manpages.

Yes they reinvented some text files as the NT event log... TBH the first thing I do is ship the logs off the box so journald seems a waste of space.

Until its your network gatewayb appliance that is down and then you're fucked... NEVER rely on Google for documentation or GNU info as that's probably not installed on your server. This sort of scenario is where *BSD win every tim

What if I don't? Most of our stuff is on JVMs apart from SVN/DAV/apache/LDAP and that's a 40 min job to get packages ready for from srpms from scratch. We just have our own repo and import stuff that isn't in t

Thanks for posting this. That's what i was expecting. Does any of that really improve my day? Nope. In fact most of it makes it worse and adds friction. More cogs turning in different directions. Will keep our devops stuff on CentOS 6.

Great news. Thats the first question I asked myself about this. HLA was a crock of shit.

That's a great way of putting it. It's exactly where I feel I an now. I wish I did C more often. Most of that knowledge has longevity.

If you're good, this is what good contract work is like. Many times I got hired for a 3 month stint and got it all done in a couple of weeks with one eye shut. I tended to chip in and help with any other bits lying around that needed d

They're building a block of modern flats over the road from me at the moment not too dissimilar to the one in the video. It took 9 months to build the foundations and about 3 months to get the superstructure up (concrete) and another 9
