One thing my wife and I did that was kind of idiotic with our first child was to both try and deal with the baby at night "as a team". Once we realised that being a team was better visualised as taking on different roles, we funct

I'm sorry to hear about your Dad. That you are helping him resolve these outstanding issues is most likely a huge relief for him. I've been interested in compiling an end of life documents for myself for my family. Have you found

If they have your email address and they leaked it, then the same applies. You get reverse suggestions. The sad thing is that you can be completely privacy conscious, but if just one of your friends, family or acquaintances uploads their co

One of my bosses had a good way of dealing with emails. He would only write one single short replies. No "Dear/Hello Blah", no sign off, just one single terse sentence that was straight to the point. He detested my wordy, tim

On a side note, I'm guessing many of us have seen the movie "The Martian", but whether you enjoyed it or not, I would highly recommend the novel. The detail that goes into how he survives is amazing, which is somewhat missing

These kind of scenarios are key. People forget that companies have invested millions of dollars into systems based on this technology. In the early 2000's I worked for an e-learning company. All of their courses were interactive, popul

The target could have died. The actions of the attacker were deliberate in trying to induce a seizure that could have killed him. That's attempted murder, and whether it's via a tweet or not is irrelevant.

Absolutely. Job hunting is an intensive task. Knowing the salary range before you apply for a job, is extremely important . Cutting out jobs that aren't applicable from the salary perspective saves you time and effort.

Providing you have them, I can chop then off and use them. Seriously, use your eye or fingerprint as a password and there is someone ruthless enough to remove them from your body.

It is curious to note that if you very slowly and gradually reduce the size of the sheep pen, as long as the sheep are still fed, they won't notice until they are driven down the tunnel to the slaughter house. It is not until they hear

One of the most interesting German privacy protections that I've come across is the decentralisation of residential registration records. By law, every citizen is required to register where they live at the Stadtamt (town hall records

Technically this law covers logging at the ISP level for UK DSL and cable customers. However in reality, the UK is tapping all undersea cables coming into the UK (so basically almost all transatlantic ones), and logging everything. https:&

The problem of children accessing adult content either on purpose or by accident is a challenging one. The UK government sees this as a "sex shop" problem, where adult material is hidden behind a door where under 18's are not
