No, but having blood in your stool is generally a sign that you need to see a doctor. The father of a friend of mine kept putting it off because (in his words), "he was embarrassed to talk about the topic to his doctor". He had to

Colon / bowel cancer has a relatively high success rate when treated (compared to other cancers), but as with all cancers, it is important to catch it early. Not to be to graphic, but if you have blood in your stool (especially if it i

Ladies and gentlemen. This is how you do blackmail, corporate espionage, and sway politicians on a truly industrial scale. Want to push a bill through the House of Commons to curb GCHQ's powers? Think again Mr. Politician. Someone migh

I wouldn't be surprised if we see lots of things like this come out over the next months. VW has got seriously burned, but I highly doubt that they are the only ones fiddling the playing field. More than likely, different manufacturer&

What is crazy is that the vast amount of people who buy these small diesels don't need them. You need long runs to get the particle filter hot enough to burn off. People buying these small diesels are buying them based on the fuel cons

Another way to do this is to already have an existing mini project with a bunch of unit tests. It should be functional but contains known bugs, of which, some are easy for junior developers, and some are much harder for senior devs. Whils

When my Uncle worked out in China about 15 years ago, a local dignitary was giving him a tour of the local area. He noticed what looked line capped oil wells in the fields. When he asked what they were the official confirmed that they conta

You are right. It has to have reverse and that can be checked at scrutineering, but it just has to eventually reverse. It doesn't say anything about having to do it quickly, or effectively: All cars must be able to be driven in r

There was a small and relatively unsuccessful F1 racing team around about 10 years ago, who's name I shall not say here. Internally such teams were known as "pit dodgers". When it came to the design of their gearbox, the work

I've just signed up to WinSIM who are O2. They have some good cheap packages if you are a low user of SMS and calls but do use data. I'm paying €4,99 per month for 1GB. Calls are €0,15 per minute. I've just started so I'

There are surprising number of exit nodes running on Windows 7. Home subscribers on DSL and cable connections. Isn't that rather "suicidal"? I assumed that nearly all would be running on Linux in data centres somewhere.
