And another contender in tablet space just as BlackBerry pulls the plug on it's tablets. Hopefully this one won't be as memory hungry as Firefox (My only gripe with the browser). Still have to wonder what's going on if they'll team up with scum like Foxcon...
The BBC should know better and pay up it's not the first time they've done broadcasts from the summit (OK it's the first live broadcast) they must have had to get permits previously so why didn't they bother this time? The Nepalese Government should stick to their guns on this one. Their country their rules.
Use Ultra Violet Paint like they use in Stoppa Spray http://www.stoppashop.co.uk/ that way the targets wont even know they're painted if you'll pardon the pun:D
Bearing in mind most of the time these drones will be active is when the trains aren't running why not have the charge from the overhead supply the trains use?
Wouldn't it be better to get 5 smaller firms to write it for a tenth of the cost each and then grade them based on user experience and number of bugs reported. Once they all finished or given up give the rest of the money to the firm that did the best job!
But it might make it clear that it will fail much earlier and then at a lower cost.
But apparently it didn't succeed in that, either. They're discovering massive failure only after three years and billions of pounds.
The people doing this project are human they make mistakes. Besides we don't know how Agile they are I've worked on a lot of Agile projects and a lot of Waterfall projects and I've never seen one yet that was wholly Agile. I'd be more interested in how much of it was outsourced but then I didn't RTFA
Absolutely. I don't know what everyone's geekasming about its a scale model of a much smaller lego model. Now if they'd based on the Hays X-Wing manual then I'd be interested:D
You're not a programmer are you? There's no such thing as bug-free code. Just like no writer can proof read his own novel, no programmer can truely find every bug in his own code.
Absolutely it's called Author Bias. Also what about bugs in the specification? Even a crack team of QA testers won't catch every bug they just reduce the risk significantly.
"not list people's SSN addresses and financial data in a google search result" then yes i think i can get that right on the first try.
And will that stop some fucktard fax monkey from uploading a spreadsheet full of this info to your DMZ where google & everyone else can read it? We don't even know if this was a software fault.

And here in London
It's cold up here send more socks :D
Did they out source it to the UK Government?
Its been done before :D

IBM? I would have thought they'd be using RUP as it's their baby!

This kind of thinking (Training wheels) is why I don't have mod points today :D
I believe the words "Class Action" spring to mind :)
I absolutely agree although I do get the impression you've been reading "How to win friends and influence people" :)
It would have been nice if they'd made something more generic!
Like any of the AV on Android are any good! Haven't found one yet that can stop a simple browser hijack :(

Oh thats easy just make sure the person you want to talk secretly to is called Eve!
Problem solved :)
"Snapchat has made an enormous and lasting impact..."
And this is the first I've heard of it.
I believe the author like every teenager thinks he invented masturbation
Which of course is impossible because I invented it!
Oh come on. April 1st is over. Everyone knows Hurd is a running gag. It's an ancient meme.
You mean this is "Debian does Dallas"?

Alternatively can I have double time when the bugs are in the specification or the client moves the goalposts?
I carried that pipe through the mag-line, in my MOPP carrier for a week and a half with out any of the magnetometers going off.
That's not surprising, not every metal is magnetic.
No but even a glass of water has a distinct magnetic resonance.
