The UK does not recognise the independence of Sealand Not actually wrong, but sort of incorrect. The UK Legal system has made judgements that SeaLand is not UK territory, and officially working in Sealand is also working "overseas".
Of course, being a nation does mean that the UK is not responsible for the defense of Sealand, and the UK can also declare war on separate nations, and occupying Sealand would be a bit easier than Iraq.....:-)
Are they going to use TCP/IP over dolphin carrier?
TCP/IP over Aquatic Mammal carriers, as it is more officially known, is simply an modification of RFC1149 (A Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers).
The above spec has been "embraced and extended" for Aquatic Mammal use; (much) larger packet sizes are supported, as well as a separate optional High Frequency Audio command channel, which is sometimes used for Relay transmission of packets, and the possibility of dynamic packet routing..
The metal based aliens simply made a mistake and implanted their tracking devices in what they thought was the dominant life form on the planet. OTOH, maybe money is the dominant life form....
I'm British too, but the distance to the Sun is one of those things I automatically remember in miles (93million, give or take) before performing the 8/5 multiplication to km. Planetary distances fall into the fun category, its only when we get to Light Years that I somehow switch to metric, based on the speed of light being 300,000 km/sec although even here I still think of the Imperial 186,000 miles/sec equivalent.
ARS, with assistance from researchers at Hematech and the University of Texas, evaluated the cattle using careful observation, post-mortem examination of two of the animals...I'd be livid!
Two Civil Servants talking in the corridor CS #1: Hey, we've got some money we haven't spent yet. CS #2: But if we don't spend it, our budget will be lower next year CS #1: I know this place with leather clad women with whips and.... CS #2: Nice idea, but we've got to at least be seen to attempt to spend it responsibly CS #1: There's these wacky consultancies who try to predict the future, why don't we employ some of them. At least we can get a laugh reading the reports. CS #2: Great Idea, I'll recommend it to the Minister immediately. Of course, I'll present it in terms of looking for competitive advantages.... CS #1: Sure, he's up for a reshuffle and won't give it a second glance anyway. Just put the approval form in the bottom of his Red Box and he'll sign it automatically.
Paint is good enough for most basic needs, but Notepad is much too basic. One of my first actions is to load up a decent replacement for NotePad, whether its CrimsonEditor, Notepad++, GVim for Windows, Nedit...
Both applications have barely evolved over the last 15 years, but could have offered a lot more functionality without becoming bloated.
Does this mean that Medieval 2: Total War, where one also converts or exterminates ones enemies, or [Doom|Quake] [1-4] should also be banned, or....? The list would be endless.
The plot outline of the game is tawdry, but banning is far to good for it. I think it's just an excuse to drum up sales for something that will be a cut price game by March next year.
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these! Netcraft says Antithykera Mechanisms are dying..... Does it have any Y0K rollover problems? Is the OS written by Linus? Does it run Windows? Did the Romans and Greeks do any Case Mods for this? Was sinking the boat the first Denial of Service attack? Users fail to upgrade to Antithykera 2.0 from Abacus 1.0! Antithykera Positioning System receiver fails to replace Astrolabe due to lack of satellite coverage... Some (but not all) of these are elsewhere
Heating water ain't cheap in some parts of the world.
Yes, but normally the parts of the world where water is scarce normally have plenty of heat available in the form of solar energy. The only exception which comes to mind is the deserts in the Antarctic.
So long as there's a Moon there'll be a power source.
And even if there wasn't a moon, there is always the odd subsea earthquake to generate suitable waves for energy. Just think how much desalinated water a Beowulf cluster of these devices could generate from tidal waves!
Journaling support was not present in v1.0 of OJSimpsonFS, and the FS was selective about which events were journalled. v 2.0 was also flawed as it reported false events.
Almost every major galaxy including the Milky Way has been found to have a supermassive black hole at its core. The only lucky part is our sun not being near to the core of the galaxy, not which galaxy it is in.

the Canadian Dollar is close to reaching parity with the US Dollar.

That statement is exactly the same as saying the Canadian Dollar is valueless. The US Dollar is on its way with reaching parity with zero.
I shall make a case for my living room viewing to be a "high end industrial application" :-)

So we're runniong one GUI to run an entirely different one? Does this seem ever so slightly perverse? :-)
