Hursley is mostly a contractor pump these days or "Rational Rats" as we call them. Spot on with the 6 figures comment. It's the place to be :)

It's not hard finding people; it's hard finding quality people because they've all moved to London for the salary or are self-employed. When I say quality, I mean people who can pick up anything we throw at them and pick th

A million times this. I was ill for a long time. Coke was the only thing that settled my stomach.

Interesting article. They just installed LED street lights outside my house and I had to buy a pile of black curtains before I could sleep again. People have even knocked over a couple of the lights down our street because of the negative e

That's a fair way of describing it. A couple of years back I had a facebook account, a nice iPhone 4 and an Android tablet and did most of my social organisation and communication through them. Everywhere I went I had one device or ano

I don't use either java or any browser plugins (other than portable Firefox plugins) so I haven't come across that yet. I used freebsd for a desktop for 6 years, replacing Solaris and not once did I use Linux compat as well. It go

This. ZFS, MAC, LLVM, good docs, good manual pages, awesome stability, up to date ports and packages. What is there not to like? On the subject of the article, FreeBSD supports DMAR (VT-d) as well but I'm not sure how this protects dat

I dropped my Lumia 820 at least 50 times onto concrete, wooden floors and out of the car. Lived in my pocket with keys. Took the lot. Then one day, it gave in and the OLED display went pop on a concrete drop. Digitizer was fine. No "oh

Now that is possibly the cruellest irony I've seen for a while. Well spotted :)

Agree with you there, but I'm taking a different approach. If the UK leaves the EU, I'll move into the EU. I doubt the UK will leave the EU though as most of it is manipulation and posturing.

Not sure why there is so much gushing over the optical image stabilisation stuff; been in Lumias for over a year now (920/1020 and above).

I'm glad, for one obscure reason. The few people I know in Scotland became terribly hostile over the last week. I mean really anti-English. I'm talking non-patriotic professional people I've known for 20 years. It made me won

That's actually quite cheap as training materials go.

No, that's not how it works. You get the most heavily marketed party that pissed the least number of people off in the last couple of years.

I think people are outraged at both. With the companies in question, it's not hard to vote with your feet and complain. With the government, it's very difficult.

A million times this. In fact, even as a windows user, preview on OS X is the best PDF reader there is. I'm note sure it's the format over the technology to start with as it's quite complicated to lay out technical material e

I've dealt with Altium before. In fact I was responsible for licensing their product at a large manufacturing company. There is no such thing as free. There has to be a catch. They are expert milkers.

This. LaTeX isn't even particularly easy to merge so its a pain in offline VCS systems even. Real time; no idea how that would work.

We tried to recruit an android developer in London, UK. Absolutely no problem finding candidates but finding one that had done more than 'Android Programming for dummies' type stuff is painful. The majority of people have written

We still have a UUCP feed from a legacy DOS (!) financial system. Dials us up every day and pumps us data in a message body. We inherited it during a buy out. It dialled into a SPARCstation 2 originally but that died with a PROM failure (af
