figure out the "extra" usage issues.
Yes, I get what you're saying, but going by the debris following a visit from my daughter, the primary uses of toilet roll seem to be for removing mascara, nail-varnish, blusher and face cream, blowing her nose, wrapping up old chewing gum...
Was going to say the same thing. In normal times (I live by myself), I get through at most a roll a week - and probably less than that.
When my daughter returns from University for a weekend, I suddenly have to go and buy another pack, as it seems she uses a roll every few hours!
Jansen added today: "Given my symptoms seem relatively mild, I will continue to lead BT but work with my team remotely over the coming week." He said will be "no disruption to business".
He makes it sound like he'll take his share of first-line support, and do the odd remote-shell to a borked telecoms switch.
Actually, if he was to disappear for a month without trace, I doubt anyone would be the wiser...
There is no excuse in this day and age for AWS buckets to be left unsecured. Amazon provides tools for detecting and closing off inappropriately opened buckets...
You still miss the point, El reg. There is no such thing as an AWS bucket being "left unsecured". It takes a fair amount of active work on behalf of a user to make an AWS bucket insecure, by default they are completely locked down.
Interesting that Wiktionary and Merriam-Webster claim it as American, and define it as snatching or grabbing, with a secondary definition of "sticking to".
In British English my understanding of the word has been closer to "cadging" or "borrowing by begging", and I'm sure that is true of the passage you quote above.
But the bleating FBU were dead set against the utterly sensible and rational project
Centralised regional control centres for emergency services are neither sensible or rational. They lead to dispatch errors due to mis-identification of locations or lack of local knowledge.
Where are you getting that extra 150KB from?
Umm, all the code that actually does stuff, over and above the basic required for a functional console app.
Looking at another release we've got, there's a complete windows service, which is 253KB plus the same 5MB odd for libraries, so a standalone service (that doesn't do data access or logging) written in C# is significantly smaller than 600KB.
No it isn't, it's 5MB larger. For a natively compiled Win32 app, there's no reason to account for the libraries, as they are already loaded by the OS, but for any bytecode-compiled language you have the extra overhead of the abstraction layer.
I still use Delphi at work to produce Windows service applications.
I can build a complete free-standing Windows Service in about 600KB which doesn't need the horrible fucking kludge that is the .NET Framework.
For instance, we have an internally built syslog server which runs as a windows service and the fully compiled executable is 628KB. A separate freestanding GUI application to manage the service and view logs is 1.4MB.
Try to produce the same thing in C# and it will be a couple of GB of code, and still need run-time compillation.

I also agree with your basic premise, and have mucked around with millimetre band radio in the past, but I take issue with your statement that the human body cannot detect electromagnetic radiation - it is accepted that many people can tell if a thunderstorm is brewing, with symptoms of headaches etc.
