Re: Still not pleasing some

> I mean do you really want semi-fast calculations and 2 monitors at the cost of higher power consumption?

For some applications yes.

For mass market embedded, you will be spinning up your own board with a carefully chosen SOC and your own software support.

This is targeted at smaller markets and places where you would otherwise use a PC. Kiosks + signage for example. Places where you need an existing OS and apps ready to run.

Re: Have you tried believing?

It's not as simple as that, you also have to; close your eyes, and tap your heels together three times

The trouble is that they start each step of the negotiation saying that they won't agree to anything that recognises the other side's legal system

It's like the idiot with the cape saying that they refuse to be subject to the law of gravity - and then leaping off the building

Re: Bye lads....

>You really think France doesn't have an Embassy with a consulate in Ireland?

Probably not one issuing visas to 3rd party country nationals

Re: Bye lads....

>Were they ever going to be any other shape?

At least we won't be forced to have curvy euro pears.

They will be true British turnip-shaped pears, and will grow in the ground and taste of turnip. But we promise they will be pears.

If you put an empty shell up to your ear, can you hear the Gove?

Re: Bye lads....

From their website:

Do I need an ETIAS?

"As of now, it is still unclear how traveling for Britons will be arranged in a post-Brexit Europe."

Re: Bye lads....

Even that's unclear.

You get residency in Ireland, but until you have Irish citizenship you are still a Brit as far as the eu is concerned.

Will you need a visa to go to France?

But France isn't going to have a consulate in Ireland because it's an Eu country

Will you have to travel to London to get a visa to go from Ireland to France ?

Good job all this will be sorted out before anybody makes any rash decisions to leave

>What are businesses supposed to do

Move to Europe ?

Re: TikTok tracks its users ?

Because it's a national security risk for everyone.

Anybody watching TikTok may get the false impression that cats are cute - while the government knows that cats are fundamentally evil and we must all get behind the president's cute dog policy.

Re: Sympathy with investors is limited

There is a difference though between being over-ambitious and a down-right con.

If in 1976 I tried to get you to invest in a circuit board that you could type things into and it would run programs and produce results you might be sceptical that this PC thing would ever catch on or that the market would justify the cost.

If it turns out that microprocessors don't exist and there is a hidden wire to a teletype in another room where a team of people are working out the sums on paper and typing the answers = that's a con.

Re: She's got skills. Have to admit.

Will that become the standard way to avoid a fraud prosecution ? Become president.

Re: Technology

That's not unreasonable, it's just an engineering problem = you raise money to hire people to solve it.

It's like saying building the infrastructure to make a car to run on batteries is too much for the two guys that started Tesla and so it was a scam.

What the experts did say is that blood isn't perfectly mixed so taking a 0.1ml sample to reliably test for all the diseases they claimed wasn't going to work - because that 0.1ml might contain no markers for disease X even if you have it.

I can invent a much more sensitive soil test for a mineral, but if I then claim that I can find gold anywhere in the world from a single shovel full of my back garden - it's likely a con.

Re: Did I miss it..

Nope its only magic while being pressed.

And we don't know what its limit magnetic field is

And it's probably really hard to make into long wires

And it probably wouldn't have the right pinch point properties to self-recover from a quench

Temperature isn't the hardest thing about superconductors. If you had all the other properties right then even liquid nitrogen "high temperature" superconductors would be practical.

Re: Britain solved this 'tech problem'

The problem with the British system is that anybody is allowed to vote.

By adding extra security measures, like having mandatory voter registration in Latin at the top of a mountain accessible only by Range Rover one can ensure that the peasants who watch Mrs Browns Boys don't interfere with the electoral process

Re: "a kind of punishment on the UK government"

In response we are banning them from using English - that'll teach the blighters.

To be slightly more serious. People who us .eu are still paying the "golf club" to use it and are likely to be pro-eu. This is rather like the WHO saying: "if the US government leaves we aren't going to accept any donations in US $"

Re: You mean "faux outrage"?

>The art and entertainment sector makes up a significant part of the economy

Does it? When they claimed here that it was some x% of the local economy - they were including peoples cable TV bills as part of the local "arts economy"

Re: Needs more "balance"

Slackware will boot on it. Babbage did a patch

Do China get a say?

A Japanese hedge fund with Saudi money bails out by selling to a US company.

Unless trump gets confused by the Chinese looking guy who does Fonzie impressions

Re: cold feet warm computer.

During a few years in sunny climes I had an office that was freezing.

As in - I'm wearing a hoody at my desk and there are palm trees outside my window - freezing.

I complained and was fobbed off with, "you Brits have probably never seen Air Conditioning before".

Tried blocking the outlet vents and fiddling with the thermostat - risky activity with university facilities people.

Later heard that my replacement had also complained and discovered all the AC airflow valves had been put in the wrong way round. the more the AC tried to warm the room the colder it got.

Presumably with CRISPR we could manufacture these directly? Homo-Kardashian ?
