Brian Cox has presented loads of stuff on British TV.
Richard Dawkins needs no introduction.
Simon Singh has written lots of books and presented many TV shows.
I'm sure the Gimp has the functionality to shift a rectangular part of an image 1 pixel to the right. But despite wasting over an hour (yes, really) trying to figure out how the hell to do it, I just couldn't.
I tried Paint.net instead, having never used it before, and did the job in 20 seconds.
XML has won a significant technical victory. It has managed to stand firm in the face of the relentless onslaught of doubling processor speeds and memory capacities, so that our word processors are just as slow and bloated as they were a decade ago.
Outstanding! Yay for XML!
Keep the job, and use the money and flexibility to take flying lessons. You will find that a whole lot more enjoyable and satisfying than shifting to a low-paid programming job.
It's a big steaming pile of poo. The interface is horrible, I can never make it do what I want, and it's all so slow. There's no good reason why any piece of software should take 10+ seconds just to draw its first window on an up-to-date workstation.
Anyone interested in Cold War era secret bunkers, have a look at this place. I've actually visited it, and it's absolutely fascinating. Climbing down the stairs from the "farmhouse" and walking along the entrance tunnel was a very chilling experience.
It's within a couple of hours' drive from Glasgow or Edinburgh.
The reason the TV movie in 1996 was such a flop is because they tried to turn it into an action adventure set in the USA with car chases and crap like that. If they want this to be a success they'll have to let it be proper Dr Who?.

Wow, that star is only 1" diameter, and they still managed to photograph it across all those light years? THAT's impressive!
So what? The tree in my back garden is visible from space. See Google Maps for evidence.

Is the UI still as horrendous and unintuitive?

The apostrophe makes it funnier.
Burglarize? Is that even a word? The verb is burgle; hence, one who burgles is a burglar.
Why on earth did you marry someone called Barely?
Ah, you obviously don't live in the UK.
Picsel Technologies are actually Scottish, not English.

BBC web site. Type in whatever you have in the fridge, and it gives you matching recipes. :-)

The British political process is supposed to be open to public scrutiny!
Why do they need a cable at all? They should just shine the optic signals straight through the ice. :-)
