  1. Re:I dunno on Toyota Announces the Winglet, Wannabe Segway Killer · · Score: 1

    That depends on the part of the world. In the UK the Segway is not legal to use on either the road or the pavement.
    But the same would be likely to apply to the Toyota also.

  2. JOVIAL code rewritten in C? on B-2 Stealth Bomber Gets Upgrade, Joins the '90s · · Score: 1

    I though ADA was the mandated language for such applications? C seems far too insecure a language to replace the rigour of what is essentially a dialect of Algol.

  3. Oxfam ads substituted on Covert BT Phorm Trial Report Leaked · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I could see Oxfam (and the other charities who had their ads substituted) getting their lawyers to shakedown BT for a substantial "donation" as an alternative to being sued.

  4. Re:"Manager" is a title, not a profession on Japan "Running Out of Engineers" · · Score: 1

    they care more for the long view.

    In the short term there is no long term ... and, to quote Keynes, "In the long term we are all dead".

    Or is that all too pessimistic a view?
  5. What makes CE more usable than Palm? on Pocket PC 2002 · · Score: 1

    Very simple - workable real handwriting recognition. Not the funny shorthand-type symbols you use on the tiny screen of the Palm. They have this and then hide it away on the disk of optional software.
