I read the headline and thought, is this a change of heart from the Gnome team, then I read the article. Yes, it was too good to be true.

I won't be "upgrading" to Windows 11. Once W10 support has ended I'm moving full time to Linux. I've already started the transition so I'll be more than ready when the time comes. Unnecessary changes with no be

He really changed the world. Ended the cold war, an incredibly important figure in 20th Century history. One of the few decent people in Russian politics.

Heathrow and Gatwick are private, British Airways is private, so its got nothing to do with the Government. The decision by BA was probably made for economic reasons, the Heathrow slots could probably have been used for more profitable flig

Sound and moving images. Put it all together and fan fiction will never be the same again! But seriously it may usher in a new cottage industry of content creation, from graphic novels,to animation to movies.

Do they have the infrastructure in place to allow this to happen? Charging points, electricity generation capacity? Or is it just an unrealistic aspiration?

It sounds like the Auto makers want to keep profiting off the used car market as well. I would say the solution would be not to buy cars from makers that introduce subs. But people will do it anyway. Sounds like a new world of perpetual ren

Emergency care hasn't "collapsed". It's under strain from a backlog cases unseen during the pandemic. But collapsed? No.

83% sounds a bit to good to be true. If that were really the case you'd expect the entire logistic industry to by rushing over to take advantage of the savings. That hasnt happened, at all.

Too little too late from the BoE. Its almost as if the bull market in Bonds over the last 30 years has left an entire generation of central bankers incapable of reacting decisively to inflationary pressures.

This is a fantastically fun project. You can lose hours just wandering around the globe. Its things like this that remind you why the internet can be such a glorious thing. Its inaccurate and with few uses, but so what, its fun!

It really does feel like the company isnt being run by humans but a rudimentary AI somewhere.

The deadline for petrol cars is unrealistic, we dont have the generating capacity or the infrastructure to deal with that many electric vehicles and I dont know if we ever will. Hydrogen is looking like a better alternative right now.

I wouldn't be too sure about that the German people are rather more attached to the stability of their currency that the EU I'd say.

You tend to find these sorts of spreadsheets everywhere though, not just massive companies but small businesses, charities, non-profits. They dont have the manpower or resources to deal effectively with complexity. Its best not to add anyth

Robocop was part of a unparalelled series of action films that came out in the mid-80's. The sequence started with Aliens, then the next year we had Predator and Robocop and then finally Die Hard. They're still making the sequels

From what I've experienced in my firm, literally no one, whatever their age/demographic hates working from home. They seem to love it, even people that were firmly against the idea before the pandemic and now totally for it. Every

Imagine putting that in a spreadsheet that does a key bit of work, then watching as the orginal author leaves and subsequent users have no idea how the magic works, just that it does, until it goes wrong. Which then throws a part of a organ

I cant remember the last Marvel film I watched, it may have been Endgame. I find them to be rather grey, passionless affairs, lacking in any depth or decent character development. I watched Top Gun Maverick last week and it was so much bett
