  3. Re:Chrome Remote Desktop on Short Notice: LogMeIn To Discontinue Free Access · · Score: 1

    I got the email this morning , and must use Log me in twice a month to support my parents who live some distance from me. A friend recommended Teamviewer after I got the email , so will be trying it tonight to see if it meets my requirements. Dont think I can go back to 1st line support style questions with my mother anymore!

  5. Re: Government vs terrorists on Lord Blair Calls for Laws To Stop 'Principled' Leaking of State Secrets · · Score: 3, Informative

    Many Prime Ministers have been members of the house or Lords, we just dont see it these days.The last one was Douglas-Home but he ended up giving up his peerage and stood for election to the commons. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alec_Douglas-Home

  6. Re:Seriously? on Queen's WWIII Speech Revealed · · Score: 1

    Watch Threads - its on youtube these days so you dont even need to rent or buy a copy. its dated , but worth watching to see the predictions of what would happen following a nuclear exchange with the USSR and the UK. The day after was ok, but didnt deal with the long term effects.

  7. Re:But that's not the real problem. on To Encourage Biking, Lose the Helmets · · Score: 1

    As a biker of over 22 years I used to think this would be a good idea. However after seeing the way London Taxi drivers are to all 2 wheelers not convinced. They have to do the "knowledge" on 2 wheels while they learn the way around all the taxi routes, but once in a black cab show total distain for all other vehicles on the road. Also the spotty Chavs/Neds once they have sold the scooter after turning 17 don't seem very aware of bikes and cycles once they are in a car.

  8. Re:And hundreds of street trees sacrificed on Shuttle Endeavour Embarking to Los Angeles Museum · · Score: 1

    I assume its the thought of being a "heartbeat away" from her becoming President if McCain had won. Otherwise known as the Dan Quayle effect.....

  9. Re:Methinks people don't appreciate the scales her on Bill Clinton Backs 100 Year Starship · · Score: 1

    That is Dyson's Project Orion , technically you could get something the mass of a Destroyer into space. However pesky things like treaties & fallout killed that dead. However "if" you could get a lot of nukes into space safely you could build something in orbit rather than a ground launch.

  10. Re:He REALLY pissed off governments.... on UK Authorities Threaten To Storm Ecuadorian Embassy To Arrest Julian Assange · · Score: 1

    no- they expelled the lbyians - they did not storm the embassy. did suround it for several days - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Yvonne_Fletcher#Siege The SAS stormed the Iranian embasy in London (Remember watching them going through the windows Live on TV!) ack in 1980 during a hostage crisis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_Embassy_siege

  11. Re:Why did it take so long? on Sally Ride Takes Her Final Flight · · Score: 1
