Re: The ghost of Douglas Adams

He’s not a ghost. He’s just spending a couple of decades dead for tax purposes.

Re: Everything is going to be AI

Would you like to buy a bridge? It’s got AI and everything.

Re: But, you know

There's been a worse one since then

That’s the point. By claiming legitimate interest they make them opt-out which is the opposite of what they’re supposed to be.

He can do that any time his missus has her folks round

Re: if it ain't broke, don't "fix" it

HMRC have always been crap. Nothing to do with WFH.

Stop moaning. You’re getting a high speed train that’ll get you to London half an hour quicker (assuming you don’t mind walking to Birmingham first and redefine London as “somewhere just about on the Tube network” and you don’t need to get there in the next decade or two)

Re: Where were the plastic police?

If the yanks build their retail stores anything like they build their houses, you probably could have kicked a hole through the wall in a minute or so.

More worryingly, everything on your PC wanted to listen for random connections from the internet. Microsoft jumping on trends in a hurry doesn't usually end well.

Depends : African or European birds?

Re: Idiots

It’s been available to download for a raspberry pi for years. They’ve already produced one reasonably well received hardware device hence this one being the Mark II. I don’t think it’s fair to call them idiots, especially when they’ve already done what you claim they should do.

Re: What's the catch

The catch is that criminals will think twice before signing cryptocurrency over to Binance

And so will everybody else.

It means Brexit, as the previous poster explained

I used to build websites for a fitness company. I am not, in any sense of the word, fit.

Nobody should follow Jacob Rees-Mogg’s example unless they’re dressing for an 18th century cosplay event.

They don't even have to decipher anything. Just ask for your password and when you refuse, lock you up under Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIPA). S.49

Re: Yes, I am ashamed of my country

It’s not any legislature’s business what an adult does to their own body.

They could put them in special blue boxes that also double as space and time travelling vehicles.

Re: Still doesn't change anything ....

Oh, look. Now you’ve made Tim Cook cry.

Re: codenamed "Wild and Stormy"

It’s named after the previous President’s two favourite hookers

Re: Who said it was illegal?

Nobody expects the Spanish authorities!

Re: @Spaceman9

"This really did seem to be a thing that occupied the minds of staunch remainers. They seemed to have some obsession with WW1/2 and also kept referring to going backwards to the 1970's too. I never understood their desire over all that."

Re: Mangle a license, get confusion

The first clause under Definitions of the AGPL v3 says:

"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License.

Assuming that clause was still present in Neo4J’s version, the term is consequently unambiguous.

With you on the first three but project management here is more like that scene in Friends where Joey wears all of Chandler's clothes. You can't even think about doing requirements gathering until you've filled in half a dozen forms, been to a bunch of meetings and kissed the ring of at least one PHB.

Re: They've been talking about the varsity line since before I was born...

Due to the free-for-all nature of 19th Century railway architecture it's almost impossible to make any East-West journey without having to go to London first
