Re: No lineage?

I'm afraid you're wrong. PTerry did think of everything. What let him down was the finite speed of capturing it all on paper.

Re: Endless recycling

I also have that system. A kindly administrator bought me an in out pending tray. I sat it on top of the pile.

Re: Been there. Done that.

Or "add another column" because someone needed to make more notes, until you end up at column FQ with sixteen columns added by sixteen team members each with their own opinion about which line item was in scope or out of scope.

Ware? Terrible there. Murdertown.

Re: Well done KCom

In what they like to term "a sector resourcing realignment". Death's too good for them.

Re: Hmm ...

You forgot the multitude of possibilities related to Brexit. Though "I blame $EVENT" comes close.

Re: I thought this had been done and deployed ...

Commentard badges require a new level to fit alongside bronze, silver and gold; tin.

Re: For private individuals, 1 TB USB Drives

Ah but if you buy a shedload of TB drives, you're paying for empty bytes to just sit there unused whilst with Microsoft's offering you're.... ah. Scratch that thought. You're paying for empty space that they can sell to someone else.

Hands up if you reckon they could provision the full 2TB for every subscriber if they all demanded it simultaneously,

Re: You do notice the cheap cables..

Good point, fibre's probably better, in fact.

Re: You do notice the cheap cables..

100m with HDMI??!! You'll be lucky! Best off using a convertor HDMI to Cat6 and back.

Re: You do notice the cheap cables..

Yep. I had to get a 15m plenum rated HDMI to go up to the overhead projector because the suspended ceiling is about 3m below the real ceiling, and we weren't allowed to run the cable in a tray lower down because of something or other. Even the best HDMI cable (the ones that Kramer use) still ended up needing a signal regenerator after about 12 months of the cable being in place (dirt accumulating perhaps, or shielding starting to spread after a year's thermal cycling, who knows?). Without the regenerator, about a quarter of the computers that people tried to use ended up with picture breakup and loss of communication.

Re: Not just business

And yet you wouldn't use a cat 5 patch lead and expect 10Gb/s performance?

Re: "In doctors, you might expect a good one to use more technical language"

We also have those. We just call them sub-clinical neuroses.

Re: "In doctors, you might expect a good one to use more technical language"

A good Doctor Who tailors their speech? When talking to an artificial intelligence? Let's think about that for a moment...

Computer interviewer: "Please tell me more about yourself..."

Doctor: "If I were to tell you that the next thing I say will be true, but that the last thing I said was a lie, would you believe me?"

Re: So folks will be adding

Read the content of Section 2 of the Act. The contract can be signed On The Behalf of a party. I'm surprised that they didn't argue that the email was only one half of the contract. Unless the other solicitor emailed back to say that their client accepts the terms and also included a signature block.

Re: Subject to contract?

And the point is that this IS the contract.

She doesn't want to be a politician...

The men who come to me say, “So and so wants to declare what we call ‘a war.’ These are the facts, what do you think?” and I say. Sometimes it’s a smaller thing. They might say, for instance, that “a man called Donald Trump is President but he is in financial collusion with a consortium of high-powered Russians who want him to order the building of a wall because of some sort of social media experiment…

Re: The Irish reunification question is complex and not an easy thing to achieve ...

I'm trying to decide if there are not enough Trekkies on here, or too many.

Re: "I was getting laid a fair bit."

Yeah, those suit jackets with the sleeves pulled up were terrible - the nylon built up a massive static charge from the extreme pounding of a severe rogering whilst bent over the side bars of a home treadmill.

Re: Ignorantia juris non excusat

foist means 'to impose an unwanted person on something'.

BoJo would definitely be unwanted in a leotard.

Re: Regardless of which side of the fence you are on.

They didn't overrule Parliament. They overruled the Government.

Re: Regardless of which side of the fence you are on.

You can sing to my cat if you like.

Re: Ignorantia juris non excusat

Hoist by his own leotard was that?

Petard. French for "fart". The word was lent to a small explosive device used to lift a door off its hinge pins rather than blasting through it.

Re: Ignorantia juris non excusat

Understanding politics through the medium of Dr Who.

Lesson 1. Judging the actions of a Prime Minister.

There is a distinction between an illegal act, such as murder, and an unlawful act, such as making things up to get your own way.

I mean, if Boris had just gone into Number 10, called a cabinet meeting, declared everyone there to be a traitor and then killed them all, it would be illegal, right? Whereas if he were to lie in order to further his own cause that would be unlawful, but not necessarily illegal.

Re: The Irish reunification question is complex and not an easy thing to achieve ...

As a great man almost said once:

"The reason for my coming here has never been more clear. The union of the Northern Ireland and the Irish people will not be achieved by politics or by diplomacy, but it will be achieved. The answer has been here before us all along. An inexorable evolution toward a European philosophy has already begun. Like the first Europeans, these people are struggling toward a new enlightenment; and, it may take decades or even centuries for them to reach it, but they will reach it, and I must help."

BTW How can you bisect into thirds? Or even 2/3s?

American???!!!!

Well the money might have been, but the story definitely wasn't.
