True but it definitely doesn't do much to stamp it out. In Britain, if you want to see racism, try being a white boy dating a non-white girl. If she's black, black males in general won't like it and if she's Indian, her

There's lots of countries you maybe should vent your anger on before Britain, one of the most multicultural countries in the world. Maybe India with its racist caste system. Maybe any number of countries in Asia or Africa which have mo

It was their first time ever buying an ebook so they didn't have a lifetime of experience in buying an ebook. The first time they buy an ebook legally they become filled with moral outrage about how dreadful DRM and write a blog post a

They said that for the first time in their life they bought an ebook. Yet they have a library of ebooks and let people "borrow" from it. (How do you return a borrowed ebook I wonder?) Yet despite not having the physical copy of th

One thing that always worries me about buying an electric car is the possibility that the rapid technological advances might destroy the resale value of existing models. That sounds like what this VW model might do.

There was a later also discontinued Basic from Microsoft that a lot of people have been hoping would be open-sourced too.

Thanks for the info. I am involved with a Windows based product and we've thought now and again about doing something like this. We have a competitor that is browser and cloud based but the product seems to be a lot less featured. It f

Is the on-prem one Windows based? Also by less cumbersome do you mean the cloud one has fewer features or is just easier to get up and running with it because it's a browser based. Are the company expecting your on-prem one to fade awa

I'd like to see some idea of what they mean by big. An order of magnitude in terms of lines of code and the number of engineers they had for the job and how long it all took versus how long the original took to write etc. One of the th

It's kind of confusing but easier to understand when you consider the primary goal which is to force people to lock the door. This is achieved by only allowing the key to be inserted or removed when it's in the locked position. T

I'll admit that I didn't read it all but that was at least partly because it behaved painfully in my browser (chrome on windows 10).

It must be a great comfort to all the people Bill Gates trod over to see the great credit he's getting today for giving a little back.

In old fashioned small shops it was common to have a display of your merchandise in the front window. This would tend attract/trap wasps in summertime especially if it was a cakeshop or similar. I probably should have said cakeshop! Yo

Man walks into a shop and says "Three wasps please". Shopkeeper replies "We don't sell wasps". Man says "That's odd because you have a load of them in your front window". --joke I heard the football

He's pretty driven all right. Good luck to him. Actually it says on a youtube video that he is half German and half Portuguese though his parents gave him an Irish forename!

Yes, it's a tabloid style account so it lists the accomplishments that are more readily recognisable to a wider readership.

Sounds like he has parents from different countries, first name is Irish, surname sounds Portuguese(?) so head start there on the language front, perhaps. Schull is a very small community, couple of thousand max but there's been a lot

That was an example of what could be called a teachable moment. I'm remembering my standout moment as I type, the 'oh no, oh no' as I realised what was happening.

I'd never heard of red mercury before reading this article. I don't think it's a widely known myth.

The potential market for this boat numbers under 1000 people or maybe even under 100 I'd say.

You could imagine that the name was supposed to evoke James Bond because it certainly looks like something from a Bond movie.

Well I was responding to someone who implied that Bill Gates was the greatest. Chuck Feeney lives in a rented apartment drives a modest car and has essentially given away his entire $8 billion dollar wealth. It's hard to top that for g

Is he greater than, say, the guy who founded DFS Group, who has now given away all his wealth in line with his plan to do so which he set in place decades ago? Edit named wrong company initially

I don't like them, where I live we had a view like something from the sound of music and now we have 8 turbines in the foreground. Also they are visible from so far away that they have diminished the perceived scale of the landscape.

Unless you want it restored in which case they'll undelete it for you. It's good design to provide an undo option after all.

I agree with this. It might not be that he feels contemptuously about eliminating discrimination but rather than that he's unhappy with the way diversity campaigns are run. Sometimes it seems to me that whereas in the past we had Churc
