Apple are well known for being ridiculously paranoid about products being leaked before their announcement, so much so that at one point they put eye-height frosting (not the cake type) on the glass walls to stop people accidentally looking

Basically if you're a shit sysadmin, you don't have to bother learning anything or working hard. This is absolutely fine if you intend to remain a shit sysadmin. Go nuts with Docker. The 21st century will be waiting for you when

I think you underestimate the ability of the Slavs to Get Shit Done. Do you know why they beat you into space? It certainly wasn't because they had a head start.

As a long-time passenger I'm OK with that, and I'd be even more OK with that if they remembered what customer fucking service was and brought back the conductors. It's[+] my city and it can damn-well run the way I want it to.

It's impossible. I just had a fight with a bus driver over this. "Single to X please" "No" "I'll pay you, whether personally or your employer, an entire £10 (the fare's about £1.50) to take me to X&

Absolutely there's an ISIS of plumbling and a dark art of wiring but it comes from the opposite side to that which we expect. I've mostly plumbed, entirely wired and partially built my own house. I can see better ways to do what

Minutes, seconds, can make all the difference in some cases. Months? We're fucked.

Because once your government is the arbiter of "plumbing", anyone who can squeeze a pipe together but doesn't need to qualify to work with gas will be marginalised (and unemployed)? Because once your government is the arbiter

That certainly doesn't help, but really it's just bureaucracy and you batton down the hatches and get it done. Needing one, and it is really very close to need , is the concern. Interactions between me and my fellow citizens, or

Bitcoin has exactly the same problems as any other cashless interaction. It's where my money is, but it's not the next cash.

For reasons to tired too explain, I've been without a bank account (and therefore also credit/debit card) for a couple of months. Nightmare. And scary as hell. And when it's not "official" c/d cards, its the sh

Promotion of schemes akin to TDD tend to build their foundations on even smaller sample sizes, usually of those close in some fashion to the new wheel's reinventor; the naïve solving text-book-example problems. But maybe I missed somet

Eastern Europe? It's fantastic here. Freer than I ever was growing up in Western Europe. You should try speaking out of the mouth on your face .

As a system administrator: No. It's not. A broken system and a system being misused are two entirely different things. It could be suggested that a system is broken if it can be misused and indeed an ideal system will be incapable of m

How about we stop expecting "justice" to work in our favour and start forcing it to work in our favour? If you don't want anybody to be able to take your stuff, don't make it possible for somebody to take your stuff. A
