    I'm sure they look real nice on you, AC.

  2. Re:The idea of faster network... on Why We Don't Need Gigabit Networks (Yet) · · Score: 2

    And this is the exact reason why my neighbour needs a Gigabit connection to go with his unsecured wireless network.

    It's like molasses tonight, and the connection is a bit slow too.

  4. Re:A postal service is simply too important. on USPS Losing Battle Against the E-mail Age · · Score: 1

    I worked for the Post Office, the arm that does the delivery part in the UK. The blame on the UK government is a bit unfounded.

    There were postmen who started at 6am and finished at 9am. "Job and run" was the perk of the job, even though on my round I only ever managed to finish by 10am. Half a day's work for a full day's pay - excellent - only I often did a second round on double pay, as did many others.

    Business logic? Unionised workforce? Craptastic?

    They could have doubled productivity in an instant.

    I left after only four weeks. The place was run in a blind panic.

    "cure for baldness"

    OMG. I have an illness that needs curing! Phone me an ambulance!

    I was about 18 when it started. 20 years ago.

    I have friends who try and take the piss but it doesn't work. And these days, when they're all going grey, it kind of backfires on them.

    I have no problem with it. Neither does the wife. And as life goes on, I get more attention than I ever did.

    I can't go along with 'cut fewer times a year' though. I cut mine twice a month down to 1mm, else I end up looking like a tennis ball (and that's more ammunition for the piss taking).

  6. Re:Way past time... on Rogue SSL Certs Issued For CIA, MI6, Mossad · · Score: 1

    I deleted mine a few days back, when we were all told to.

    Just checked FF6.0.1 and they're back. What's happened?

    I feel the same.

    I have the following people (names changed slightly to protect the abusers) in my circles: Maccy Dee; Dave JustDave, Darque Matter. Obviously not their real names.

    Does Google really care?

    That's interesting because copying your passport is illegal in the UK. Same is true for your drivers license.

  10. Re:Put an end to the crime and criminal supporters on Anonymous Retaliates, Leaks Texas Police Emails · · Score: 2

    I would like to vote against crime, as I hate it too, although I don't fancy entering your country to do it. Voting in my country is a complete waste of time because the Lords and Elite do not, and can not represent my wishes.

    Your police have a nasty habit of shooting "fat black bitches" and anyone else that they feel needs the "criminal cure". Are you going to stick up for them?

    Who polices the police? Anon have stepped up to the plate and they should be welcomed as no one else is brave enough to do it.

  12. Re:Cost of a textbook? on Details About Raspberry Pi Foundation's $25 PC · · Score: 1

    They used to regularly tout the National Association for Gifted Children (UK) for new members. My parents refused to let me join Mensa because of the high cost and the fact that it did indeed seem like a big scam.

    The member I met had a neck-beard. I remember the bot he bought with him; I was truly impressed. The complete lack of social humour made me nervous. I was 10.

    I see OS projects still think they're being funny with project names.

    The classic "making a cup of tea" is used everywhere from teaching adults with learning difficulties to teaching project managers how to plan projects.

    There are many, many steps. Loops can be used alongside the decision-steps. It's all there.

    This work PC is locked down to the wire. One of my jobs is to wirte Excel spreadsheets including VBA.

    Accessing the FSO (File System Object) is childs play. I can read, write and delete anything I have access to on the network.

    It's that easy. Still.

    And then there's the Window APIs I can access through VBA...

    And I'm pretty poor at doing this stuff (but better than 99% of the office workers)

    After a month, I thought G+ was dead too. Then I started playing one of the games.

    In little under a week, I gone from having a dozen contacts to just over 150. The chatter is mainly about games, obviously, but there is no way in the world I can claim G+ is dead. If anything, I'm trying to find ways to stop people posting lol-cats on my main stream.
