UK's National Rail Shuts Down Free Timetable App
JHaselden points to this "sad tale of one developer's trying time with the National Rail, the owners of the UK's train timetable data, which flies in the face of the recent assertion of Chris Scoggins (Chief Executive, National Rail Enquiries) in Wired recently stating that they had 'opened up' their data, 'often free of charge.'" This is a good case for keeping your old emails handy; the app's author uses cut-and-paste to excellent effect in his correspondence with the rail system.
# cat /dev/mem | strings | grep -i llama
# strings /dev/mem | grep -i llama
There, fixed that useless use of cat for you.
I pulled the scene up and I can see how you'd hear that, but I still say that it's unduly silly person.

It wasn't useless! What, didn't you get the mental image of a cat chasing a llama on a string while running all over your mem, too?
Just listened to it too. I reckon it's "sons of a silly person". Most of the transcribed scripts on the next agree with me. Most, being the first three I found using Google.
That's enough nerd pedantry for today, I think!
Finally had enough. Come see us over at https://soylentnews.org/
Not nearly enough, you silly king! The only solution is for me to check the DVD subtitles later. ;)
