Re: Mind how you go!
As this documentary shows, this problem has been known for more than 20 years. You'd think they'd found a viable solution by now.

Hanckock's half hour
Matt Hancock, minister for the Cabinet Office, referred to data as being "no longer just a record" but a "mineable commodity, from which value can be extracted" and outlined how the UK government intends to improve its use of the information at its disposal and help others exploit the data too.
help others exploit the data
help others exploit the data
Who are these 'others' supposed to be, and how will they 'exploit the data'?
And who will pocket the 'value'?

SCART
Never had any trouble with SCART plugs whatsoever, even had (still have, infact) a 15 m one, all the pins connected, that worked like a charm. OTH, none of my AV equipment was 'Made in France'. SECAM was also used in most of the eastern bloc counties, they wouldn't want to buy PAL as it would have cost 'real' money. I think they did a deal with France like the USSR did a deal with FIAT, but dinner is ready so I can't look it up.

Re: Old TVs
We only ever had one of these.
But seriously, a lot of my childhood memories are in black and white. To this day it happens from time to time that I see an old movie on TV and I'm surprised it's actually in colour. The same goes for Star Treck TOS. (Most of the sets and props DID look better in b/w...) 'Space Patrol Orion' actually had been shot in b/w.
And the first colour TV my parents got had one of those ultrasound remote controls and I could actually hear it!

All the figures in political projects published in early stages are essentially made up. All of them, no matter what project, no matter on what level from local to nationwide.
The dates usually have only marginal connection to the actual project at hand, but correlate with other, far more importand dates like election dates and the timeframe for campaigns or when a specific player in the fiels is supposed to move on or retire. And so on.
The sums usually have to fit a certain corridor, i.e. low enough to be okayed, large enough to qualify for subsidies, and so on.

A moat. A moat filled with sharks. A moat filled with sharks armed with lasers.
Seriously, they have guard towers and guards with shotguns or automatic rifles already - adding surface-to-air missiles seem a little overkill-ish. Maybe they should invest a little time and money in target practice. Or nets.

Oh yeah, SCSI. Cable lenghts and terminators. Whenever possible I insisted on an active terminator with a little LED, that way you could tell them apart.
Absolutely frustrating: stuff that was support to work acording to the manuals/specs but never did.
