Re: Helen Sharman

Hey all she did was disperse a little of the flame I seem to remember

Or if 2FA was both easy to use and mandatory - setting expectations on users and not allowing them to bypass an already trivial confirmation system might not damage sales except to idiots with too much money to burn (oh yes, I forgot they make up a substantial part of the market)

Re: I'm very familiar with the matter

It is shelved alongside other Fantasy titles in the newsagents if that helps

Victorinox gadgets are amusing and somewhat retro, but a combination of a decent set of pliers, screwdrivers and a knife on my Leatherman win out over my 35-year-old Swiss tool.

Re: Super Magnets

Or in some circles, 'ohhhh goody - what do you think might happen (a speculative game to be played over beers).

Re: Radiocative ink, soviet style

Yes, I remember being briefed on a watermarking project at HP. They even nobbled attempts to copy dollar bills.

Maybe, but they do seem to have justice in a death hold....

Re: Good accounting

A remarkable outlier. Most of my clients pay slightly late - just before penalties kick in. A small few (now ex clients) do their best to delay - even over relatively trivial sums.

Re: Works for me

I don't go into McDonald's because the food is shitty.

Re: Don't worry kids

I remember reading about the old aviators (they were at the time of the quote) mantra

If you crash, are you injured

No

don't worry about it

Yes

Is it serious?

No -> you'll recover don't worry about it

Yes

Survivable?

Yes -> That OK, stop worrying

No -> you don't need to concern yourself

The earliest version I have seen is 1st world war (so primitive medicine) - fits with the (mainly) men who flew at the time!

Their bank balances I assume, and if they don't have them 'FrEEEEEEEdom'?)
