I'm saying that it was obvious before hand that trump would be divisive. Voting for trump over your own chosen parties representative doesn't really make objective sense. I'm not saying there aren't 'reasonable'

As a Yorkshire man, I can confirm that we do speak like that. And I also approve of this system. I may use it while driving around in my VW e up. Well obviously my whippet would be using it, it isn't safe to program and drive.

I'd like to see some form system where you keep track of what you actually use. Apportion money appropriately and you can make an annual / monthly / weekly payment and it gets distributed in a somewhat sensible way. Yes there

Do companies use open source because it's free? Cost may be a component. But not the only component, and cost doesn't have to be binary. You can charge and still be less than the alternatives.

When/if the UK gets to this landmark it'll be because the wind was unusually strong. I don't think that takes away from the achievement. We also have negative prices on windy days and the interconnects tend to be exporting po

I'd extend your explanation to the why (do it that way). 8 + -2 = 6 as you would expect. So a subtraction is basically the addition of a negative number and you don't need any extra hardware to keep track of that.

Ok yes, I was interpreting it from the POV of someone who doesn't know the person, whereas the people who memorialised it probably did know the person. but then it is a public memorial so it shouldn't really be intended as a perso

My biggest take away is that this is why open source is so good. How much is an Adobe license these days? How many kids wouldn't have had the opportunity because they couldn't afford that? Yes I know open source doesn't equal

Yes and no. We have separate sports classes based on gender on age to reflect abilities. It's takes time to get good at this stuff, a younger person has inherently had less time. I'd structure it as one overall ranking, but specia

What issues are they causing? Offshore wind prices were on a downward trajectory, they made the sensible decision to to base prices on that. Since then things have changed. I'm not a tory by any stretch, but I'll give credit where

Well at least the govt is actually doing something. I wish headline writers would try not to be so miss leading though. It's up to, and it would essentially be fixed at that cost. I'd rather £70 MWh than the current £90 MWh that c

What's the length of a school run though? This could do 75 miles each way, twice a day without charging. But the bus isn't used for most of the day, so you could realistically halve that range anyway. And I doubt any bus routes ar

I read essays from 40 years ago, about what the office of the future could and should look like. There always seemed to be an assumption that you would empower the user with tools. I suppose VBA does that to an extent, but it seems like we

Yes it's weird that a 17 year old now isn't allowed to work. Have they not been to any restaurants lately? The major problem is the same issue with things like prostitution or drugs. If you ban it, you lose oversight and make it l

I had to scroll disappointingly far down to get to the Blake's 7 reference. Thank you for not disappointing though. The down side of that algorithm though is that everything dies at the end.

If you purposefully threw away a phone that you knew had nudes on, I don't think you can complain that someone found them no. I suppose the ultimate answer is not to leave pictures of your self nude if you don't want people findin
