I am still waiting for a Wii application where you write PHP by throwing cowpats at the screen,
and fix the bugs by stamping on the Wii balance board!. Thats what I can user friendly.
Getting the bugs out of Android by shaking the phone upside down would be cool too!
Before the paywall, I had access to all the Times' content. Every week the quality deteriorated. It got so bad that I would read all the headlines, and not see one sufficiently interesting I wanted to click through. Occasionally, I would inspect the articles, just in case they were not as bad as the headline suggest. Mostly they were even worse, but it cost me nothing to find out.
Now there is a paywall, the headlines continue downhill. I cant imagine why anyone would spend money to read the content having seen the headline.
In short, they paywall may stink, but the quality is the real problem.
I had a bricked Thinkpad T21. It stopped running Windows, and the reinstall failed. However, FreeBSD installed fine, and ran for about 3 years.
Then an update failed - with a message saying the PCI bus was doomed, or something similar. It sat in my server closet for about 2 years, and then I found
an Ubuntu install disk on my desk, which had some diagnostics on. I ran the diagnostics, and they said it was fine. Ubuntu installed and I am still using it
as a dumb terminal for LOM on my Sun Servers.
Recently, I tried reinstalling Windows on it. It wont go. I have not retried FreeBSD.
Obviously Windows is bricked, but the T21 and Ubuntu are not.
The Times is often thought to be the most balanced,
It is a lng time since the Tiomes was a serious newspaper, known as "The Thunderer" and respected by all. It has become so dumbed down, only Sun readers would read it now, but the Sun has pictures.
If the pay wall had not killed The Times, it would have died anyway.
Because I, J, K, L, M, or variable names beginnning with them, are integers in Fortran. Otherwise variables are floating point, and floating point loop variables is a bad idea especially in Fortran.
Foobar is a WW2 acronym for F*%&'d up beyond all recognition. (Typically referring to the military situation (See "The Longest Day").
he has a right to make a living - working on the dust carts. He has no right to harass random people. This is not free speech. This is expensive (for the recipient) speech. I think these people are entitled to a term of community service - preferably a long term.
Isnt "shooting themselves in the Foot" in the Labout manifesto?
They shafted every section of the voting population in the last 13 years. Only civil servants, the terminally stupid, and the class war obsessed would ever vote for them while there is a choice.
Unfotrunately nearly 50% of employed people are civil servants. Thats why we are in a mess. (Which is separate from the mess made by Ponzi promoters who call themselves w^Hbankers and are paid vast sums to steal our money, who funded labour and were worshipped by them - "they must be clever, because they are so rich" - No, its because they are thieves with government protection).
If fraud was illegal here, then most of the "regulators" would be the first to be arrested. They can never do anything about real problems, but they draw fat salaries and make facile comments on the media. One regulator appeared in the media and actually said (about a different phone based scam) "We cant catch them - they are criminals and they run away when we come after them!"
Its a symptom of a more serious problem: The legal system is too expensive for ordinary people - you cant sue people who wrong you cos it costs too much, so a "regulator" post is created to do it for you - but they cant do anything because they are too useless. Its social melt-down.
Nonsense - feminists have been campaigning against the laws of Thermodynamics for years: they are sexist, as they favour men, who can understand such complex issues, while women only want to worry their pretty heads about perfume "because they are worth it"
A side effect of the increase in VAT was that the Pound rose more than enough to compensate. (Seeing as most of our consumption, especially food, is imported). As a further plus, this increases the cost of imports, while dropping the income tax on the low paid means we can replace those imports to some degree by local manufacture.
Economics is more complicated than Sun readers can grasp.
I actual British people were involved, it could involve a cultural difference. When we say "I think that is a bad idea" we mean "If you do that, there will be widespread death and destruction, but you will get the blame, not me!". Its the equivalent of an American saying "Hold it right there, Bud!"

Yes, its true - its really very hard to get an Irish keyboard.
