And her government had signaled that they where not serious about protection the Falklands by scrapping HMS Endurance whether Argentina woudl have gone ahead if this ship hadn't been scraped is not clear but it must have encouraged them.
Its interesting that Will Hutton commented (on the word service news) on Thatcher that she wanted to spark a new industrial revolution and turn the Uk into a German style economy with loads of SME manufacturing companies payting good wages.
What we got was a proliferation of dodgy barrow boy finance types in the city and the destruction of a lot of the UK's manufacturing base and the squandering of the north sea oil revenues.
He commented that she had become depressed about how badly it had turned out.
And drives local small businesses selling food into bankruptcy which woudl probably support more jobs taken across the piece than a centrally manged Google canteen. What are you some kind or Socialist:-)
Its a benefit in kind aka part of your wages but one that you avoid paying income and social security tax on - and the USA is historically very hard on free riders at work.
Would you describe anger at Google an others avoiding tax by using offshore tax havens as jealousy its a similar argument.
All search engines have to take a copy of page to run it through their ML algorithms to create the index thats used to serve a users query. And this copy is also used sometimes to generate the content in the snippet.
you know that the editors of Astounding an early SF mag worked out that something was going on at Los Alamos because of all the subscriptions form the staff there.
Yep i bet there will be plenty of "Second Attachés" from the Russian and Chinese embassies with suspiciously bulky backpacks taking walking holidays in that region now:-)
Well the existence of physical plant like bases antennas and so on is pity much impossible to hide this is like the UK government demanding the removal of the entries for Langley, Thames house, Babylon-on-Thames or the recently dismantled AN/FLR Iron Horse installation at RAF Chicksands (basically a huge antenna that was a well known land mark in my part of bedfordshire).
Trying to hide something that is in plain view like this is a fools errand and has backfired badly I suspect that it's a civil servant who thinks the internet is like minitel and they can just order france telecom to do what they want.
Fuel cells give you a decent range and converting gas stations to also store hydrogen is probably going to be easier than revamping the entire electrical system to support any non trivial amount of charging at home.You could also use large home based fuel cells to generate electricity at source avoidiung transmission losses.
What happens when all the commuters get home and put their cars on charge between 5-7
And if your lucky Bob Howard or that Cute British Redhead from the laundry service puts you out your misery before the black chamber gets its paws and tentacles on you:-)
I wonder if the professors are Charlie Stoss fans:-)
Oh, it is not like uranium does not have to be mined, mind you. It just magically appears there in the fuel pellet state in the close proximity of the reactor.
um so wheres the uranium mine disaster folk songs then:-)
Nuclear Energy is dangerous, it produces a lot of hazardous wastes.
Yup. Totally agree. The thing is... so does Coal. And oil. And natural gas. Small scale solar actually has more deaths from installers falling off roofs than you'd think All power is somewhat dangerous - nuclear just happens to be the least dangerous we have.
FFS, coal mining and burning puts more radioactivity into the system than nuclear waste would if the plants just ground up their detritus and spewed it into the sky - while removing the natural landscape - but we're used to it so it doesn't count.

And a single mining disaster can easily kill several times more people than directly died at Chernobyl and every major reactor incident. Take Aberfan where a coal waste dump collapsed on top of a school and killed 116 children and 28 adults. And China has had single accidents in mines that have killed far more than that.
And thats not counting the shortened life spans of those who work in mines even if they only worked for a few years down the mines - like my maternal Grandfather
But the cloud providers going to want to make there 20% and if you need something doing quickly be prepared to pay through the nose for it - I can see a major snafu like says storing applicants to GCHQ (aka NSA) enc lair taking years to sort out and costing a 1/4 mill or so.
Sir Humpfrey, "Yes minster we just have to finalize the risk assessment and DSE inspection and. Then we can get right down to specifying this update, you will of course need to speak to the treasury to get the to increase the budget for next year - Crapita say the cost should be a round 250,000 or so and should be able to start in Q1 2015”

yes and get Kelsey Grammer or better David Hewlett to voice Orac
Lots of oil in that wool :-)

Interesting is in the UK Europe is held up as a better rail system than ours - obviously the grass is not always greener .

It is as tax goes up to cover the short fall so people working for less generous employers pay more tax relative to a Google employee

This is a traditional dead tree publisher its like training cats to push jelly uphill to get things done properly at this sort of organization.

Counter intelligence in this case both in fact and in how its turned out for them.

well the Cthulhu mythos mixes the two genres and the laundry service is definitely SF

Actually many European countries have paramilitary police forces there is a lot of difference between the constabulary model and a gendarmerie.
nice but you don't have the problem of having property expropriated by gangsters which has happened to a college of mines family in India :-)
