Re: They could

You could just add some sponges to the water to soak it up and lower the water level

Re: Woking

>The colour palette used to change as I'd switch application windows, inducing a near weekly migraine.

With the advantage that you could click in another window and what you were viewing in Mosaic became indecipherable

Re: That's crazy

> the person making ... excess commissions is making the company that much more in contracts

But those sales are next quarter, the commission is paid out this quarter - your job as an executive is to make as mush as possible this quarter, even if it destroys the company next quarter.

That's the point of capitalism apparently - longer term planning is communist

>The way I see it, the school has no choice but to pay up.

Unless the money was going to terrorists or countries under a US embargo.

Do they have a small child on board?

They are able to secret a fluid that, unlike the blood on Alien, gums up everything

Re: Why woud they give a f?

>Softbank does not have any network in the US

But it does have lots of $Bn of investments in US companies

If the Very Stable Jenius decided to go all Goodyear on Softbank they could be in trouble

Re: So what will the rest of the world do ...

Clarification Britain leased the new territories but it 'borrowed' Hong Kong in the same way it borrowed India, Malaysia and most of Africa

Re: The Cloud

No the cloud is your code on other people's computers in their data center. It fails they move the code to other computers in other data centers = their problem.

This is the old 2nd worst case, your computers in their building. Now it's both of your problem.

The only one worse is on-prem. Now the computers, power, comms, security and oh-shit our building just flooded/burned down/got invaded by zombies is all your problem

Re: The bastards messed up Joe's billing

Happens everywhere, we had a camera shipment to Sweden blocked because the customer was called Mr Pistol and this triggered some anti-terrorism rule

Re: Usefulness

>Probably intended for some very remote devices far from any cellular tower.

Wouldn't you use one of the new LEO meshes of satellites at lower power and better coverage. The antenna for GSO gets large when you get away from the equator

Re: Within a busy area

Most satellites don't waste power and mass by sending MW of radar 1000s of km out into space

That's why it needs the foundation. When Mozilla goes bust and is bought by Oracle/Facebook etc evil Corp will own the name (even if the code is all Foss)

Re: Teachers know a lot more than government ministers

Yes the reason for paying for the best teachers.

If you pay 50grand a year for the right school you can be sure the teachers will say you'll get the right grades and you can be sure the right universities will believe them

>To be clear all versions have Heathrow,

It's just that in the premium deluxe version you can leave

You can also be sure that no elected chaos monkey is about to ban you from using IBM

Re: Nations are built by leaders with bold vision

Will it end up being a massive failure with all the money being siphoned off in bribes/consultancy payments to politicians, unsuitable kit being bought from dodgy suppliers with the right contacts, stuff installed wrongly to meet some arbitrary completion date, govt/schools/hospitals being forced to pay over the odds for approved kit and very little of it ever being used?

Or is India different ?

Re: Surely they're using G-Suite Enterprise for Education?

You don't need any admins for Google/Chromebooks/cloud that's the whole point - it's just in the web fro free !!!!!

Re: Won't work

The USA should send in secret crack squads of management consultants.

Then within a few years their most brilliant students will all be competing to get degrees in PPE, the companies will all be run by the idiot sons of the current bosses, leaving their scientists and engineers to be underpaid and ignored.

All we need is to teach them to play golf and we can totally destroy chinese industry.

Re: Everyone is a pedo?

No just Immigration and Homeland security

Re: Unfortunately, Apple will win

I would love to see Visa and Mastercard both decide to charge a 30% commission on payments to Apple or the iStore

Re: Crazy thing

Or until it starts to affect ordinary people - not just terrorists/drug-smugglers/bogeymen-of-the-day

When Hans Schmidt gets rejected from a job at VW because it may involve travel to the USA and a pre-hire security check says that immigration may reject him because of his twitter following.

Or he can't get travel insurance to holiday in Spain because of the Google searches he did for symptoms - which although illegal in Europe, his insurer is allowed to take advice from it's US parent company

Re: The components?

People used to make their own capacitors from waxed paper but they got too lazy and didn't want to wind their own inductors and grow their own crystals

Re: Why such limited photo coverage?

In radio you can generally add together lots of dishes for the same area.

The Square Km Array is quite big (0.05milliWales) and has the advantage of being steerable and being much more modern technology.

Colour lasers are good for colour documents but not for photos

Arguably any printing that can be done with a colour laser shouldn't be in colour

Re: Wi-Fi 7 had us on 'Extremely High Throughput'...

If you get the beam shaping correct you can simply then excise the tumour as soon as it's formed

Re: Overwhelm and dominate America's enemies

No the ones made for the US military will be $10K, the ones they face in their next democratising adventure in the middle east or Portland will be $99

Re: What percentage of eligible British voters bother?

>Vote or take what you get

And if you want your vote to count then, do as Noman Tebbit would, get on your bike and move to a marginal constituency and vote in a close run election.

That's why the referendum was so popular, for 90% of voters it was the first time that their vote counted.
