You're a Putain troll and I claim my five roubles.

DAM, can you make your mind up? We don't know the TLAs are unanimous about anything. I have never heard any assertion that Snowden is a Sino or Soviet plant. Just a U.S. citizen to ended up in the C.I.S. because he'd never get a fair trail in the U.S.A. BTW not only does Trump have Russian ties, I bet he has Russian socks too. Maybe even one of those furry hats.
Anyone else notice the number of posts that seem to be attacking everyone and everything like a particularly amped up berserker? It's hard to tell what they're trying to say other than don't believe anything anyone says, every one is bad any there is nothing that can be done about it. Would Putain trolls bother with el Reg commentards given the general level of cynicism here?
Given that one of the excuses they tried to use to hold onto illegal dna info and mug shots was their IT systems were too crap to handle weeding the illegal information out without damaging the information they were suppose to have, a crap by design system isn't that far fetched.

@Adam 52, you have to see the GP now because of paitent lead care, they are the ones that control the money. The hospital won't be paid for treating you if the GP doesn't sign off on it first. There are certainly situations like yours where this is a wasteful system but that's what they Tories have lumped us with.
I wouldn't mind having a 2 in 1 tablet with keyboard combo when my laptop dies. Only problem is they are going the way of netbooks. Most are crippled with a slow processor, 2 Gb of RAM and a 32 Gb eMMC and the prices are slowly creaping but (but the hammering the pound caused by brexit hasn't help) . If you could buy one minus the windows license that might cushion the blow a bit.
Jake, you could GM more efficient chlorophyll, in fact it has already been done but you're never going to be able to grow biofuels in a carbon netural or carbon negative way on a scale needed to replace fossiel fuels. We don't really need bioengineering to feed the world. We have the technology to do that already and more techonology is coming along (such as hydroponics, vertical farms, on lad aquaculutre etc) to do it even better. It's our economic model that is the root of so many of our problems.
Bit of a side step but they even managed to mess up minecraft by imposing the PC UI on the xbox version. It's bloody awkward and has fewer options and fetures than the orginal. It's amazing how MS manage to make or buy a good product and then proceed to shoot themselves in the foot with a cannon.
The talent is out there but most businesses treat staff as a cost and do everything to drive it down. No training in case they get poached and people get treated as interchangable. Of course there is plain pig headedness. I place I worked at flushed several million down the toilet as the only person with the authority and ability was moving due to a partner's relocation and there was a strict no work from home policy (unless you were on support out of hours then you could do everything you could do in the office from the comfort of your couch). Years later no one had either the courage or the authority to pick that baton up.
Can we completely disable one drive?
Can we completely disable Cortana?
Can we stop it ringing the mothership and forking over all our data?
I know most people out there don't give a damm about this but it still bugs the hell out of me that the OS manufactures are allowed to force their 'customers' to spy on them to some extent if they want to basically buy a modern computer. Imagine if car manufactures force people to hand over all location data, info on who was in the car at all times and full audio and possibly video of people in the car and its surroundings.
