Can you believe it?

Try turning it off and on again.

Nope

I can possibly see it as a pointer, but the idea of 'drawing' characters...

Not only would it be a lot slower, but waving your hand around in the air for any length of time is going to get tiring pretty quickly.

FTFY

I just can't imagine Mr. Cameron listening to anything.

Eew

Someone I knew used to be a cleaner in a moderately sized venue. She hated nights after boy bands. The floor was covered with puddles of teenage 'over excitement'.

The gubbermint bar-stewards are getting worse.

How do they come to the conclusion that there is any connection at all between the two?

Easy does it

One foot in front of the other... keep breathing.

'kin useless

In a bored moment I decided to to look up the curent state pension payout. The figure they show was current in 2012!

Copy & Paste

Can someone please develop a system that spots such code and nukes it? (as a bonus the 'programmer' too).

I've had to unpick quite a bit of it over the years. It always seems to be a mess, contains functions/data that are never accessed, and fails to properly validate I/O.

Oh, and it usually has questionable provenance/legality.

Trust Me.

Hahahahahahaha Hahahahaha Hahahahahah {wheeze}

Joke alert, because that's what he is.

Not for me then

I always seem to mess up on any recipe I try. This one could be a little risky!

Choices

1. The best person for the job.

2. Someone who helps 'balance' the company demographic.

Difficult, isn't it?

What a team!

Real enginering. Find a problem - deal with it. Find another - deal with that too. Target stays in sight. These guys just don't give up!

Time accuracy

On the few days I'm still at work, nearest hour is quite good enough, and I can easily guess that. In my own time <- see what I did there? Morning, Afternoon & tomorrow is good enough.

Hmm. I seem to recall having said the before...

But but but

We are the Internet, we can't possibly be wrong.

Good Start

... but only a start.

Curious

With a few notable exceptions, the 'vulnerabilities' we hear about these days all seem to require physicial access and/or already elevated priviledges.

So much data floating around now but I wonder if we'll ever find out who it was that decided a security review was not needed... Probably thought the money could be better spent on their bonuses.

This is not going well.

All three of them are behaving rather like rabbits caught in the headlights.

No Thanks

I've no use for HD, I can't see the dots on standard TV, so no gain. If HDR cartches on, you can be certain of abuse by production wonks.

Finally, I don't see the benefit of spending money on something I won't use - these days I seldom watch videos - no time for broadcast TV at all.

Originally Risc Os came on 4MB of ROM.

Hack that scammers!

No

It's the "You can do all sorts of things" line that sets off alarms for me.

There is no 'Try'

Do, or Do Not

Where's the Yoda icon when you need it?

Fascinating Picture

That just somehow seems to bring Mars closer

Thanks to these numbskulls 'just 'avin a bit of fun innit' this is another nice thing we probably soon won't be allowed to have.

Astro Turf?

That's what this looks like.

Sure, Mr Snowden absolutely forced the gubbermints to all do this stuff. They never intended to do any of it did they. Why, only yesterday they were all saying how they need to reduce the amount of control and surveilence they employ. They didn't really want all that spying stuff either, but it was Mr Snowden alone who pre-emptively made them let their spooks do it just so he could complain about it and make loads of dosh... Oh, strike that bit. He didn't did he?

PAH!
