  5. Re:standards compliance on 10 Percent of UK Sites Incompatible with Firefox · · Score: 1

    I only mention this as I previously had a boss who insisted that because Microsoft had 85%+ browser share, he insisted that it was the standard that we design to. I insisted that we design to w3.org standards. There were tears.

    indeedy. i use it for live train times and it works like a charm: http://www.journeycheck.com/greatwesternlink/?from =WDT&to=PAD&action=search

  9. Re:London on Google Ride Finder Announced · · Score: 1

    I second that. London buses should be free. Congestion charging zone should be bigger and more expensive. Linking live bus timetables to the net makes real sense. Dowit!

    "Just like the Monte Carlo method has nothing to do with the city"

  14. Re:FU SCO! on SCO Targets UK Firms · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'd have to go against that, and say "bring it on". They wouldn't last 5 minutes in a UK court.

  15. Re:I am not surprised on The Ultimate MacDate · · Score: 1

    I almost bought a Mac about 2 years ago. Recently I was considering it again, until the power supply went in the G4 at work. £300 for a power supply! Madness. Gimmee 2 boxes, one Windoze 2K, one *nix (currently Mandrake 9.1) That's all.

    If you live in the UK, your employer can't claim any irghts to work you have done outside work. If you live in the US, you best bend over and have the lube handy.

    uptime records? Don't you just hate it when you give "shutdown -h now" on the wrong console?
