Why has everyone forgotten the pub? Many revolutions and grand discoveries started in pubs. I'm starting to think that Simon and Garfunkel's Sound of Silence was a warning about now.

I'm not sure if this comment is a joke, shill or some serious fucking crack smoking. The chain of trust is broken. It doesn't matter where or who does it.

Indeed. UK finance here. Several billion goes through our platform. We've already moved company registration offshore in case the shit goes down. We're about ready to move all our kit out of the country as well. As for staff, we&#

Similar kit here. Works fine over even RDP!

You answered your own question there. The thought stopped when they got it looking good.

No. There are several security questions they ask you.

Thank you for a balanced argument. I'm only arguing against the attitude, not the machine. I rode one myself for 20 years.

Good for you - probably the best outcome. I'd have probably just flipped my shit. Someone pulled a knife on me in Ealing and my reaction was to smash him in the face. Hurt like hell but not as much as the later realisation that I could

Microsoft actually do a good job and you can always call someone who can actually do something. Never thought I'd say that. However, I'm using an IMAP box on Gandi.net and a domain purchased elsewhere and that is it. I refuse to u

There's a bunker in the UK [1] that I went to. Before they could allow visitors they had to add a fire escape. Apparently it took a couple of days to cut a hole in the wall for this due to how strong it is and that was state of the art

They do. However looking at your average trip through London by car, I see perhaps ZERO cars running reds and 30+ cyclists doing it. Some of them blast through every red without even a look. Come to think of it I saw one getting stopped in

We had a network of beebs at school - literally 100+ of them in several rooms. I remember those CP/M machines: RM 380Z. Took a non-functional one of them home from my school (weighed about 25kg and I walked home carrying it, well dragg

This was London as well. Farringdon in particular. I'm was also a cyclist but I wont get on the things now.

I'd rather he was in a car. There was a red light camera on the crossing. That's incentive not to jump the light and a penalty if he did. Unfortunately he was dishonest and arrogant and knew he was going to get away with it becaus

A cyclist wiped me out at a crossing back in '02 after blowing a red light. I was on foot. Put me in hospital for 3 days and off my feet for two months. He rode away and was never caught. If you find any justification for this you&#x27

I used to fix these all the time. UK schools were kicking them out by the skip load in the mid 1990s. I was there snagging them before they were collected. I had 30 BBC Bs and 12 Master machines at one point and a 1.5m tall pile of cumana

Disagree. The HP 2540 works fine with the wife's MBP on 10.10. It just appears and you print to it. Same with windows. Same with iOS/AirPrint as well - it just works. They're $70 in the US / £30 here for an all-in-one sc

Thanks for the heads up - I havent tried since 13.04. Will have a bash in a VM today. I've not got on with OSX since 10.5 TBH so I'm with you there plus I'm allergic to MBPs for some reason; end up with bad rash on palms.

Actually it works on anything out of the box but you might have to source some drivers for network cards so you can get to windows update for everything else. The best bit is on my older X201, it installs all the Lenovo official drivers as

I don't see how many people have so many problems with windows. I use a clean install on just about anything and it pretty much always just works and does so for months. Stay away from anything Broadcom, AMD, Radeon and pick a decent S

Ubuntu pre-Unity was pretty good. Yeah we have two CentOS 4 boxes. They aren't connected to the internet just an old fashioned DUP to receive and send text from a client's mainframe and wrap it in a SOAP request and post to an int

Linux on the desktop isn't terrible until you hit an edge case to be honest. Typically for me, it's printers and power management. I have a wireless scanner and printer combo (HP 2450). To set this up on windows, I turned it on, p

Thanks for taking the time to write this up. Got a few CentOS 6.x boxes under my command at the moment. At the same time I've got a NetBSD/OpenBSD background. I ran NetBSD for years on Sun SPARC kit and thoroughly enjoyed it. This

Actually none from experience. It's there for a really good reason. Say you want to visit www.hahaha.com but your network admin is a rotten bastard, and this does happen a lot in corporate networks, well what happens is they set up a D

Indeed. I was looking forward to the landing. I never thought it wouldn't make it to start with. A sad day but you can always learn things from failures so not a complete waste of effort.
