There's a debate about that further down the thread. But you're correct that the cardboard cores of paper rolls were also a regular feature on the required materials list.
Ah, Grampian Television. Haven't been in any of the areas that was broadcast in nigh on twenty years. I know it's just part of STV now rather than remaining an independent entity.
I remember having to use the offcuts of wallpaper too. And parents were oblivious to the strife you would be subjected to if the only bits available at the time were from your sister's room having just been decorated.
The sticky-backed plastic they used (well, in 1970's anyway) always seemed to come in sheets. The sticky tape was clearly Sellotape. I was too young at the time to appreciate that brand names couldn't be used on BBC programmes but I did realise that the sticky-back plastic the presenter would use was not available in the town shop whereas the tape was accessible in the side-board cupboard. The empty washing-up bottles could be acquired by pestering my mother. But when the presenter would say "...and a sheet of sticky-backed plastic", I knew I was stymied.
The reference is to a British children's TV program called Blue Peter. Many decades ago, when I watched it, it would frequently feature construction projects where required materials were almost always an empty washing-up liquid bottle, sellotape and sticky-backed plastic. The last one being hard to come by in Aucherterarder; the target audience was clearly city kids.
I guarantee you that those people running FAILED banks will never work again(except at McDonalds), and those propsing the same kind of "banking" will never get promoted again.
If only that were true but the elite look after their own. Those that were running failed banks will have had other executive and non-executive board positions offered to them by their exclusive club cronies. And even those that haven't got that offer yet will still have enough assets for a lifestyle beyond the means of just about anybody else. The whole "winners are rewarded and losers only get poverty" meme is wrong; that's just not the way society works anymore.
Yeah, the outcome does not, to me, logically follow from the willing infringement. It must be lawyer speak so that IP infringement can be portrayed as the most heinous of crimes because it affects the whole of society.
I think that there must be at least one indisputable fact that all humans could agree on... I just don't know what it is but I'm certain it will never feature in a political debate.
It will be interesting to see if the idea develops. Each TV news channel could claim to have their own instance of the software and yet if you were to watch a politician's speech the displayed "truth" results might be very different between a broadcast on, say Fox, and any other channel.
I can't authoritatively state, but I suspect that the satellite distribution is more concentrated at the LEO end of the scale and much rarer at geo-stationary orbit distance. And I bet the asteroid pass is much higher than LEO.
If there has been a miscalculation and it actually ends up on an intersect trajectory, you may find that you no longer feel dejected about not getting a Valentine's card.
RBS have been sponsors of the Scottish Rugby team for some years now, and I'm not sure about the patriotic appeal of sponsoring the 6 nations championship since we always get gubbed in that anyway.
But I agree with the rest of your post. I know several people in Edinburgh who were long term employees of RBS who had for years put some of their salary into the employee share scheme. There was a time when that was looking like a very wise choice but now it's all worthless.
My exposure to Perl was inheriting the maintenance of a utility written in it after the original developer left the company I was at. That lasted a few years and also went through a few functional enhancement requests from the users until I too moved on; so I'd say I was reasonably adept with Perl.
However, despite it being quite handy for some things, I never felt the inclination to use Perl for something developed from scratch. Even something that would have aligned well with Perl's strengths. I just didn't like it.
No need to invade to negate the threat. While we might also have off-shore oil fields it has been said by some that Britain is the 51st state of the USA.
I'll be retired by then (actually, statistically significant probability of being dead) but I don't think I'll be leaving any problems for future tech staff because...
a) nothing I wrote even 20 years ago is still in use today so there being any 25 years hence seems unlikely
b) as a programmer in Windows I've been using SYSTEMTIME for many years

I'm pretty sure that London had many more than just two during World War II.
Although the intent of them was to provide obstructions to aircraft rather than trying to detect them.

An atheist's chance in Texas...
Doesn't that happen anyway?

He must live in a nice world. I think I'd like to visit it sometime.
I've always thought a movie quote could be slightly adjusted to fit corporate entities...
It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, trying to deliver increased earnings-per-share to it's shareholders.
From the things I've heard from friends and acquaintances, mobile phone manufacturers already employ this technology.
Oh, I don't think invasion is what they're practicing for...
The US has some Hurricanes?

You got a superfluous 'd' in there.
Here in Embra we refer to that other city as The Weeg and the inhabitants are weegies.
Easily the funniest sketch I saw last year.

Simply Red holding back (the years), surely.
Indeed, the very definition of a SEP[1].
