A couple of popular acts emanating from the EU parliament just recently. Couldn't be anything to do with the European parliament elections coming up this summer could it? Our local MEP was on radio claiming credit for the smartphone re

Disturbing. I'll be keeping a close eye on you for signs of megalomania from now on. :-)

If your nickname refers to the Oliver Cromwell, I find it curiously at odds with your comment.

It seems hypocritical to me that Apple facilitate the running of other OSs on their machines but refuse to permit their OS to legally run on non Apple machines.

You could say the same thing about anything anyone owns. For government read society. Drug companies risk a lot of money in research. The prospect of reward is why they do it Society has determined that it's a good thing (for society)

So what conclusions did you come to after 'carefully considering' the linked article that required you to openly denounce the man. Or is it the case that you feel it necessary to denounce him whenever his name is mentioned?

The linked page doesn't mention gays once, it's about programming. The post I replied to, seemed to me to suggest that everthing OSC says about anything can be discounted because he is judged to be anti-gay. We're not going t

This is a definition from the London Metropolitan Police. I'd rather see a definition from a UK statute or a UK court decision. The police don't make the law.

Existing windows applications are by definition best suited to desktops and laptops. Our's would be such an application but even as it is there are certain aspects of its typical daily use that might/would be best served by a tabl

Valuable legacy windows programs can run on a tablet. From my perspective that shows that MS cares. Programs written for the Mac can't run on iOS, I think.

That's why it's worth having short methods that do one thing and are meaningfully named. And from a personal point of view I'd prefer several lines containing short expressions that are then assigned to meaningfully named va

That's a very interesting link, the diagram of the earth moon system explains it quite well, I think. I just googled and found this article that reports the same effect between the earth and the sun http://www.newscientist.c
