they should try buying some new land rovers and trucks, and save a billion for a few a year in maintenance, computerised shocks save on tyre wear too when pulling along tanks

UK minister promises science budget won't be messed with after Brexit
leaving the EU won't affect any science research, britain leads the world in drugs, never done much for space science, and you would expect scientists to earn more then £30,000 a year which immigrants need for long term stay
all britain can do is give BAE Systems some of the £15bn eco money from the EU payments and redesign skylon to have EM pulse propulsion which can get to the edge of the solar system in 33 hours

Re: Talk about special pleading...bought Huawei exchange kit which really pissed off HMG
its more likely all in the small print when the government sold the network to BT in the 80s, at worst the government could probably just revoke the sell at anytime, all of the government war lines that are not connected to any other network still need to be operational

Re: why would you have a massive 50lb heatsink
if you had a single heat sink that was 24kg, the rest of the PC would be atleast 6kg which would put it over the health & safety limit of 25kg for men, and you would have you get a trolly if you don`t do weights and can lift 25kg in 1 hand
office workers are soft and get footrest etc all paid for under health & safety in the office level 1
Re: why would you have a massive 50lb heatsink
if you drop your box you would be expecting everything to be broke, so a bent socket means nothing, most cases would be broke, and half of your PC would fall out, you have to buy a rack mount case or spend £200 on a sturdy ATX
if a socket could handle 24kg, the motherboard would need case mounts on all 4 corners first

Re: HMRC - struggling to leave the dark ages
they should sort out housing benefit too, if you have a part time job, they keep taking your wages away making you pay more and more rent so you never more then £40 a month better off then you are when your on job seekers allowance, but if your middleclass and have a full time job, you can have £10,000 savings, tax credits and housing benefit

Google engineer names and shames dodgy USB Type-C cable makers
most devices have capacitors in, so they are globally usable, more so if they are mains powered, and run on all countries power AC/DC 110-240v, then they have to comply with EU`s ErP which is more strict then USA energy star rating power usage thing
so production lines take the best out of both ErP and engery star, and make a single globally usable production line to keep the cost down

meh,, its would be cheaper and alot faster to to make electro magnetic pulse propulstion drive, and have a 1Mw perpetual generator on, so you can super charge your thrusters in space and accelerate at near light speed, and have a single pulse every 100 light years
shoot off like 2 rubbish magnets on earth retracting when you push them up to one another and you let go of 1 of them
all the hardware has already been made, except a 1Mw generator, all the sensors and computer software are already in use on maglev trains
