Re: Talking about "idiot proof"

Whatever floats your boat

Re: Ah, America

Yes, Americans not only have to pay for healthcare. They must also pay to line the pockets of shareholders in healthcare provider companies.

Re: Hidden the moment it arrived

Copilot. Exploring lithospheric braking.

Re: Google Gimmes

Nice data you got there. Be a shame if some scrote decided to nick it guv'nor. Would you like me an' Lefty 'ere to look after it for you. For a modest consideration an'all that.

Re: Actually the programme is being held back by....

Yawn zzz

Re: Warning!

Isn't that kind of testing something an AI could do?

But that'd have been common sense, wouldn't it? Brain-dead marketing droids had probably heard of the concept

Re: Why extend Windows 10's life when Windows 11 could do just fine

Sort of Windows 11 LHE (Legacy Hardware Edition).

Last two characters fit better as "U Using, P Photons."

Re: And a snip at $$$$$$

As much as a Volvo (owned by China's Geely, FYI) models XC60 and XC40, Tesla Model 3s and Ys, BMW iX3 and X3 and Volvo's Polestars for starters.

Some even come with a coat hook that'll take a tinfoil hat.

Oh, and there's your iPhone as well.

Re: Whatever happened to HeatWayv?

There was also Ceres Power in Horsham West Sussex, who were developing a gas micropower generation system and using the waste heat for hot water and heating.

Re: Lager?

Bloody predictive text. I meant Hobgoblin RUBY

Re: re: Maybe that's the plan.

Be careful what you wish for. The RolyPolies would like a word with you

Well someone had to be drafted in

Re: Easily avoidable PR disaster

And I bet it still looked bloody fantastic. Style seems on seriously short supply these days

Re: Real Sanitizers

Had an attack of the telephone sanitizers at a place I worked longtime sinceupon. The stench when you tried to use a phone!

Some very earthy comments were made and the trick was never repeated.

Re: Challenge accepted?

TV news crews have been taking videos of exceedingly dim things for some time, often from a long way off.

Re: automated requests severely taxed X Corp's servers and impaired the user experience for millions

"Otherwise, it won't remain relevant to the readers of his site"

Since when has targeted advertising actually been relevant to anyone? The best they can offer us ",ooo, this looks a bit like what you've just been looking at, but it isn't really that close" or "people have been buying this too" or "people in<insert your general location> have been going crazy for this"

And there are still folk who wonder why people use Adblock etc.

Re: How about a simple rule?

Ah, you mean the black button on a black page with the label in black font? Yes. It's THERE right NEXT to the Register Me button so EXACTLY the same number of clicks. Why are you whingeing?

With a hat neatly doffed towards the memory of Douglas Adams.

Re: "you have to wonder how they get home each night

A young lady I know well worked for a time with the MOD police, wandering around with an automatic pistol and a rifle, providing security at AWE Aldermaston. Occasionally, for a variety of reasons, the main gate would be unavailable for use. Not very often but it did happen from time to time. Most people simply sighed and used one of the other entrances.

She was, however, amazed at some of the allegedly clever scientists whose reaction was "but how an I going to get home?" And making it necessary to have the solution explained to them. Time after time.

Re: Don't think it's that innovative

Well, a little digging and I can say it's called Jabroc, invented and manufactured by Jabroc Ltd and is definitely a highly compressed laminate of beech veneers. My great grandfather, Wallace, was making templates to produce pressings for aircraft consoles, possibly for De la Rue.
