    yeh right

    We have to do what google wants - some one joked that the ideal site for google is a university site circa 1997

    dont forget the google bot is a dumb user agent it doesnt have javascript  so javascript navigation, ajax and FLASH are the kiss of death for search engines.

  14. de monfort on The Death Of CS In Education? · · Score: 1
    For the benefit of non UK people.

    De Monfort is a very! lowly rated University only Luton ranks below it - so its a bit cute that the BCS published this where is the article from someone from a Good university with a rep in computing (imperial, Cambridge etc)

    It used to be a polytechnic and the bit that used to be based where I live was renowned for teacher training mainly PE teachers.

  15. Re:Oracle distributing MySQL? on Oracle Lines Up Unbreakable MySQL · · Score: 1

    " I've made the same suggestion to Microsoft. Perhaps Oracle, Microsoft or IBM will provide support for MySQL and that could be good for open source in general."

    Yes but the law had it been passed would have been used at some time in the future to attack your oponants blog.

    And pre WW2 Anti Blackshirt laws where used against Tradeunions

  19. Re:Kevlar a better investment? on Listening Robot Senses Snipers · · Score: 1

    No because a sniper will shoot for the unarmored bits ie the head and snipers use real rifles not short range assault weapons which Kevlar will have a harder time resisting.

    That's assuming they aren't using hot rounds or a warsaw pact  version of the Barret (remanufactured ww2 at rifles maybe)

    I think if you ask Mr Tony niceley (Yo! Blair is the normal way to adress him I belive) they come with the costumes - though I belive the boots/guns tend to fall to pices so you may have to budget for some replacements.
