Does this include Virgin Media Business? Might sound a daft question, but they appear to keep everything separate.

Isn't it a toolbox for slurping data? ...you are the product yada yada

I am the mark

Okay? So we paid for the government to collect the data and now they sell it back to us. They have already tried to do this to some extent with the census. I know this because I bought some genealogy info and found out that my grandfather was a sea turtle called Max.

It is NOT health AND safety

In this instance it is just SAFETY!!! Not Health AND safety. I happen to know that it is easy to spot people who have NO idea and no knowledge when they say H&S, and never stop to differentiate.

Jobbs wounded Flash, then Adobe drove the stake into it.

...but it still breathes under sedation in the critical care unit.

If I received a file with a SWF in it I would draw the conclusion that it had travelled through a time portal from the Noughties.

One of the reasons that it can still be imported into various popular packages is simply that there has been nothing to replace it. Nothing with the flexibility and sheer power. Yeah, the same power that made it very annoying too.

Try and get a complicated Canvas+JavaScript+ Movie+Sound into any document easily. Not going to happen. The encapsulation of Flash is a drug.

YouTube only stopped using it as default in 2015.

So the latest exploit is just another symptom of another part of its immune system breaking down. It keeps hanging on, but really someone should give it the last rights.

Then maybe we can get a suitable successor.

Sorry your team died

The depressurisation was undetected because I forgot to feed my colony My bad..

I am not an expert unlike most of the posters here, but, like many politicians, I would robustly support the proposition where the interior is lined with solar cells, so that any bits of light energy are harvested economically. I would also suggest putting a couple of wind turbines in the Tofumak so that any fluttering gases can be used to help sustain the electromagnetic fields.

ChatChat

I have two TalkTalk accounts coming into the house in Oxfordshire. Have had for years. I know: silly to have two lines by the same supplier (uh-huk-uh-huk). However, the only problem we have had is with one of the accounts is that my business caller ID has never worked. I checked in my online account meaning to make sure that it was turned on and it said that it was.

Long and short of it, saw this article, decided to give TT a hard time about it at last. Got straight through - I mean straight through after the menus. Turns out it was turned off all the time. Bish bash bosh turned it on. Now I don't have anything to gripe about which my missus would disagree with.

Obscene vanity

Due to Irma, my daughter was huddled in her walk-in closet in Florida with her mother and her daughter. There was no electricity and an iPhone that she had to turn off to save the battery.

Tell me that you are quite happy charging everyday, but know that there might be one time where it is critical that you have 40 hours of juice left in a 48 hour hurricane or other emergency.

I got creative after a fashion.

I just blindly installed it the other day on my 8 year old Sandybridge x64 machine. I guess I was lucky. No problems so far although I can't see one new feature either. I am also using an old trusty 128Gb OCZ cache drive which would have presented a fantastic opportunity for failure, but all working fine.

Sky use yahoo mail for their customers. What about that?

They never learn

Isn't it an "integrated experience" that got them a 571 million Euro fine in 2013?

Yesterday's problem

The mobile carriers are promising that everyone will be watching Wimbledon or the cup final on the bus in a couple years.

Any single dynamic page even written by big nawks is going to float on the tide of data from the mast.

When we look at the data bandwidth in South Korea and see the near future, we realise that this is yesterday's problem.

Flash locked up like the 'Princes in the tower'. I am looking forward to the total invulnerability of HTML5. Web developers are being played like marks in a big con while Adobe has got itself at least 10 more years of development cycles with its 'Edge' products.

Today I think I'll move an ellipse across the canvas. Yey!

Takes me back to Flash 4.

Nowadays $100,000 won't even get you a design proposal for the 'ultimate bacon sarnie'. Surprising the amount of empty PR it will buy though when your scramjet just went down in flames and your spare Mars lander ate dirt.

More Legislation

What we need is to clampdown on earthquakes. In particularly, tremors in local constituencies where carbon capture is being implemented. Perhaps a new Westminster carbon forum would be the answer?

Nonsensical

if you go to www.linkedin.com/home it says this:

Methinks they might be buffoons.
