I think they should go further and investigate them selling software to foreigners

Re: Poor targeting

Not if they stopped a competitor from hiring and so slowed its growth. Or if those new hires are replacing more expensive staff while doing the same job.

Google promises eternity of updates for Chromebooks – that's a decade for everyone else

Yet Another Anonymous coward Silver badge

Probably smart move

It's a simple self-contained OS,they just have to back port a few Linux kernal security patches and keep allowing chrome updates to work.

Unlike a certain HW seller they have no need for you to buy the new shiny, as long as you keep giving their browser your eyeballs

And it forces the others to spend $$$ keeping Windows11 OS-XXIIV running for a decade.

They didn't point out security flaws, she had a site called a*m-exploits.com

IBM Software tells workers: Get back to the office three days a week

company goals

Since IBM's company goals are to get rid of all the staff over 30 or earning above minimum wage in a 3rd world call center - preferably without any lawsuits.

Getting people to resign rather than return to the office is a win all round

Re: Meanwhile over in Ars Technica...

>Apollo rockets used hydrocarbon (~kero.) and liq. oxygen while the second stage used liq. oxygen and liq. hydrogen

LH2+LO2 gives best bang / weight, so you use it for second stage where you have to lift all the fuel before you use it. But if you need a really BFR the cryo-tanks get really-really big, so you use Aga-fuel+LO2 for the first stage.

Think of it as methanol powered Nascar vs Diesel Tonka truck

>(or why the shuttle required solid fuel boosters)

Fuck, I've run the numbers and these insanely complex cryo engines we reused from the Saturn V 2nd stage aren't going to move the Shuttle. We are going to need some serious help(*)

Re: Still cheaper than HS2...

But it will achieve the main goal of making Birmingham "commutable" to London, so raising Birmingham house prices to London levels, so making a lot of voters feel suddenly very rich when it comes election time

Re: Still cheaper than HS2...

When I was a student there, 20 years ago, the new rail system didn't go all the way to LAX because of legal objections by taxi/rental car companies and didn't go to Pasadena because of Nimbys in posher South Pasadena.

Now the subway goes to LAX but to get to downtown you have to change trains twice at stations both named after local riots....

So, UBER does really well there

Re: Every story like this is a godsend

>Nixon (defined by the icon) thought he was was only setting up an environment where black voters enjoying a puff of grass could be jailed to reduce people Nixon saw as voting against him.

That's not entirely true. He also wanted to attack white anti-establishment hippies and support central American dictators in their war against the communists cartels.

Getting rednecks in poor states to die from Oxycontin because "only hippies and N**** take drugs. I'm neither so what I take aren't drugs" was a bonus saving on welfare.

I hope they will stop all advertising showing cars driving faster than the speed limit in any Eu country and not driving in an unsafe manner. They will also have to restrict access to Lamborghini Countach and Porsche 911 posters to the age appropriate.

Re: Heat

Large metal cylinder tanks in the fuselage of the KC, because it couldn't mix it with its own JP4. I suspect most of the hoses and fittings would be stainless. Any gaskets or seals could be more easily replaced than the entire corroded lining of a built-in wing tank in the SR71
