Well actually it doesn't for me. It says "you need flash" which is a sod because I'm sitting on a Sun Ultra 60 which doesn't have Flash...

This. Some novel form of input would be nice. The few times I've used mathematica it has been slightly painful in this department. I've been using a TI nSpire calculator on and off for math and it's pretty decent with respect

No - they get a budget from which they have to buy equipment from a supplier. They get to choose the supplier from a tender list and they get to pick the software they want to pay for. A GP is a private limited company usually that is paid

This is ~500 users so its shitty value and it cripples productivity because it's terribly designed and put together. Probably a net loss of £4m IMHO. Glad I don't work for them directly. We provide some software that integrates wi

I've been on the arse end of an XP migration over the last couple of years. It was an unmitigated disaster although the PR for the event says otherwise. Typically a lot of the ActiveX vendors that were relied on to prop up the browser

I have a couple of members of my family rolling out Windows 7 to doctors across the UK. They're on it but the doctors are cheap arses and the NHS won't cut the entire cost of the migration even if it does put patient data at risk.

This. My father had a Leica camera (one of their newer digital ones). Piece of junk. He sold it and got a Nikon D5300 and is a lot happier even though its a consumer spec body. He was a successful pro photographer for 30 years (Bronica, Nik

Possibly. I can't always accept invitations via Google mail client on android and I can't accept an ics file and add it to my Google calendar. Not can I open other calendars (shared) because calendar crashes (moto g, KitKat, Googl

If you think this is evil you want to see how patents are handled in the defense industry. Company A copies company B's idea straight from the patent, company B finds out and confronts company A, company B gets a call from the governme

Not if they want to respond on android - I doesn't always work which is a PITA.

I can understand this to a degree. I switched about 6 months ago from a windows machine to a Mac and dumped my (broken) Lumia for a second hand iPhone 4S. I went from exchange to dovecot IMAP for email with no calendar or contact implementa

Firefox built in dev tools are clunky as anything, right down to not being able to resize bits so you can see the data in the panels. However firebug fixes that instantly.

Do you look at the mantle piece whilst poking the fire ;) Personally I wouldn't care if it looked ugly as long as it renders stuff right.

I disagree. I'm having to force quit Chrome about 5 times a day on OSX and it breaks with amazing regularity on my android phone. Not joking but Firefox just works for me. It's annoying because, despite warning to the contrary her

Ship the public key by post like internet banking in the early 2000s. This is actually how OpenBSD operates. If you buy an official CD set, the thing ships with keys which are then used to sign downloaded packages. When the keys go via a si

Some facts: Duggan was a Tottenham gang leader who was under investigation for various things from drug dealing to stabbing someone. The riots were just teenagers looting, not politically motivated.

Without getting into a race debate, black people do get a lot of bad press. What the cause of this is, I don't know or wish to comment on past I suspect that it is mainly down to education, poverty and somewhat stereotypical reporting.

It doesn't work like that in the real world. Look at Northern Ireland's history over the last 40 years. The most powerful people are the people who end up in the newspapers, not introducing kerfews and patrolling the streets toole

Who do you suppose the police officers are? At worst they are civilians with an ego problem and an itchy trigger finger. The problem is that encouraging an us and them approach empowers civil wars like this could turn into. The elite have n

Considering every damn SMTP server out there that talks STARTTLS actually just accepts any certificate by default including self-signed ones, isn't this entire point moot? It prevents casual attackers watching the wire i.e. network tap

I think if we take the mid-point between your story and his, we're getting there. Everything in moderation. That means sitting is fine and standing is fine, just not too much excess of either. My wife, an ex-carer, knows a number of at
