Absolutely. It is suggestive and this person MUST be politically motivated. The fact is that regardless of a leak in The Sun newspaper (and having heard the paper's political editor interviewed on the radio I am no closer to working out where the hell this leak came from) the report is NOT YET OUT at the current time.
SCO were a few quarters away from running out of cash so...they decided to utilise their Unix IP rights, except looking at the quality of their argiument so far this looks like staggering desperation.
Scientists always tell us that where there is water, there is life. And we all know that where there is life there are little green men. So clearly Rover has been hijacked by them.
I still have that Bambino game somewhere in my parents' house. It's still working. Just needs 4 AA batteries and off we go. Sadly I really thought it was dull. I'm British. Football to me is soccer, not gridiron.:-)
However not only were the rules of the game totally lost on me but I was given it without any instructions.... So, can you tell me how you play it please? I might even start using it again.;-)
The key thing here is documenting what they do, and how they work. It's a simple fact that the watches they make are niche items now, not mainstream. Unfortunately this is the way skills change and in 100 years who knows what we will have?
Lego played a really important part of my childhood. I used to have great fun having pretend little scenarios with the things I built. Once I'd reached a certain level of maturity I realised I didn't need what was basically a personal form of role-play. Now Lego is forever associated with that.
Maybe some people just built it to see what pretty buildings they could create.
He gave the advice though, he followed orders to simply provide his opinion. Wonder what families with CJD sufferers think? He also presided over an economic crisis at the University of Durham.
Still, you're probably right whether we term them public sector workers or civil servants. They don't make personal fortunes and gongs are their reward. Now can someone tell me why Sir Kenneth Calman got his knighthood? Chief Scientific Advisor to the government at the time of the BSE crisis....
I think you're a bit confused. Civil servants are only certain people, not all public sector workers. Did the scientists on the JET project at Culham swear an oath of alliegance to the crown? Maybe you mean public sector worker which is a superset of civil servants.
I think the knighthood is further recognition of the importance of his invention and his continued efforts to keep it open. He had already been given an honour for the same work - an OBE in 1997. I imagine the knighthood is simply because the Web has now become incredibly important and we can all (including those who give out honours!) realise just how useful it has become despite the many pressures on it to become a less open medium.
Right now? 23:41 for me. Even if I say '11:41pm' the number 11's representation as two digits shows base 10 thinking - it has two digits because I've counted over 9. I've moved on to a larger representation. Compare this with hexdecimal notation. Or binary. Face it - 11 is a decimal number and the fact that we split our day into a convenient number of hours does not mean we count in 12s.
That is totally crazy - metric is way easier. We have ten fingers. We count in tens. We don't count in 12s or 14s or 16s. Imperial units are not even standardized properly. An inch is different depending on where you are in the world...
Perhaps you missed the point. Let's replace 'China' with 'Zimbabwe' now shall we? Now I'll ask almost the same question - why not invade Zimbabwe? Hundreds, if not thousands, of people intimidated, murdered, starved and oppressed by a horrible regime that refuses to give up power. There's a famine there right now. Let's look at Burma too. Or maybe Cuba? Or Iran? Why not any of these countries? Iran has made comments about nuclear aspirations but none of them have nukes or would be hard to invade given coalition firepower.
The point of the my original question was to highlight inconsistency of thought. The invasion of Iraq was about security first and foremost - it was about ridding the area from a dictator who was potentially a huge security threat not just to his neighbours but to the USA. This is why they are looking for WMDs and stated very clearly that they went in because of the threat WMDs may pose.
Getting rid of a brutal dictator was a bonus - the real reason was national security. It is inconsistent to claim this was about human rights when we all know it was about WMDs.
No, I'm the kind of person who thinks a policy on human rights is something you should apply consistently. This is slightly more serious than speeding, don't make it sound so trivial.
So wherever there are huge human rights abuses by countries with no nukes, it's right to go in? When did the US adopt this policy and who adopted it? Bush has not adopted it from what I can tell.

Patentable - but enforcable in a court of law?
That's SCO's next action!
My brother did exactly that with Lego too.
Must be a popular thing.

The budget was not the only constraint - the Beagle probe was built in a staggeringly quick space of time.

CERN is a scientific research institution and doesn't run anyone's country. I don't see how you could possible describe him as a civil servant.

British scientists would not be quite so stupid.
SI units have been staple school fare for years.
Think you'll find NT appeared in 92/93.
You and I do not realise how lucky we are to witness this event.
Er, there are 32-bit processors out there that can address more than 4GB of RAM.
