The article never said it was the cause. It just said that the EPA ignored warnings that it might make things worse. The cause as far as I'm aware is still looking at mobile FM radio transmission.
I dunno.. we actually sent more to America, and a few generations later we get Glen Beck:-)
I mean.. wtf is that asshole? Don't get me wrong.. here at home we have our own fair share of assholes, but America has managed to create some kind of new breed of super-asshole! It's like you had some sort of military experiment in asshole-warfare which went wrong and a few of them escaped.
I watch the daily show to see how many more you manage to catch.
There was a horizon program on the BBC here called "what's killing our bees?", which suggested that the only country not really affected (yet) was Australia, who have a roaring trade selling bees now.
Silverlight was microsoft's attack on flash. At its heart, it's better technology, and with that, they opened the spec. Adobe's flash isn't open. Ouch. Alas, linux implementations of it suck. Until we see a single open-source codebase, that last 1% of internet users won't adopt it.
If you want my personal opinion, apple who are going ahead of everyone and patenting things we might end up doing in the future are the bigger threat. Microsoft has backed down and given up fighting. Except for this. A truly open system of media in browers would give microsoft a good reputation and us a flash replacement.
Do it microsoft.. time is running out for your monopoloy.
Actually, there is a glimmer of a point in here. I couldn't do that. I bow down to this technology. This is something I would accept as a valid patent and they should have exclusive rights to it (prior art permitting). In fact, its difficulty should be used as a benchmark. OI PATENT OFFICE: **THIS** IS AN "INVENTION".
Exactly. The secret to Ireland's boom and bust was it's almost criminally low corporate tax to tempt corporations to create jobs. When the bottom fell out of the housing market, they have chosen to make their tax revenues more inline with the rest of Europe. So shut up google - you had a nice tax evation holiday, now you have to pay for the privilege of cheap Irish labour. Of course, google could pull out of Ireland and make things worse, but the "at least do no harm" strategy still holds, right? How much do google value their Irish workers?
Given that they're the same hardware and both operating systems have gone through major performance improvements recently, I imagined it to be very close. How close did anyone else think?
while we're on the subject, my colleague turned up to work with one of those macbook air machines today. It's very thin.. in fact, if you close the lid, you can use it as a mouse mat for your PC.
Aaah, America.. the land of the lawyer. The word "unfortunate" has lost its meaning. It's now followed by the words "what are you going to do about it?".
Dementia doesn't get anywhere near the funding it should. There's all these cancer charities - mostly focused on breast cancer whereas nobody appears to care about brain cancer or lung cancer (you don't just get it by smoking), while demetia sufferers need far more support, cost far more time and money to treat, and frankly I'd take prostate cancer over altzheimers any day. At least on my death bed I'll be able to remember who my sister is.
For our american readers, you're probably aware of Hugh Laurie who plays the part of an alcoholic doctor in "house"
The two people used to be an intellectual comedy >duo in a British show called "Fry and Laurie".
Fry is an intellect, manic depressive,rational gay bloke, and has more followers on twitter than anybody else in the world
He also played the part of the Duke of Wellington in the 3rd series of "blackadder" which has been shown in America, but apparently you didn't find it funny. Winston Churchill described us as "two nations separated by a common language", but what?!!? blackadder is genius. maybe you need to watch it twice:-)
I'm sorry, but typing one word in to get at pr0n is hard enough work. If you want me to type in the entirety of "death of a salesman" or "the Da Vinci code" then I'm leaving the internet.
Exactly. Without alchemy, there would have been no chemistry. It was an alchemist who discovered oxygen and went on to help identify the elements. Phlogiston theory was proven wrong by alchemists. The author of TFA needs to read about the history of chemistry before writing about the history of chemistry.
Alchemists meticulously kept logs and charts and books of data of their discoveries. They were also expert practical scientists and some were even well practiced glass blowers (those phials don't make themselves..).
last time I read a boost header, I found that an understanding of hardware/OS-specific optimisations and quirks was rather important too. By the time you've read through all the #defines and figured out which bit runs on *your* OS, you've forgotten what you were reading it for:-)
It's not just a useful library, it's supposed to be fast and get its data sizes right too. I'd start with something less industrialised.

That was 2 years ago. Yes, the UK is affected.
How are you getting on finding one of those which doesn't have an admin password? :-)
what, that bugs eat japanese ships too?

She's hardly in a position to start talking about bombing after religious maniacs..
yeah.. at least give him your credit card number and a casino login.

this is a good idea right up until the point where you get an STD by borrowing your friend's phone.
yeah, the biology students and ones doing media studies are the best programmers. People studying computing know sod all about computers in general.

yeah.. the first season was written solely by Ben Elton. After that, Richard Curtis joined in and it became great.
Sir! The peasants are revolting!
You're revolting, Baldrick.

Sorry.. you're right.
To quote Stephen Fry, "it's absolute arse gravy".
The only people who should be forced to read it are the catholic church, just to see how offended they get.

This happened to a friend of mine IRL..
They burgled his flat about 350 CDs but made sure they left the Simply Red one :-)

and I apologise for finding something else to read 1/3 of the way through.

PS. be concise :-)
