That's insane import taxes rather than corporation tax. It is good to incorporate in London, (and Dublin, of course), and as long as you don't actually try to make anything in Britain and just ship it all in when it's done, then everything'

There is always the rest of the world, and given they are already using it for bone replacement - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16907104 - I don't see what the issue is for pumps. [edit] Also, remember that the end users at this st

I cannot think of a single objection you have raised that is to do with 3d printing rather than to do with quality control and process tracking, and quality control can be made far easier with 3d printing as you can change production as soo

Phrases like "I tried to call, but they were engaged." must really confuse you then. There are a lot of things in the world that are engaging, many would say far more engaging, than just the prospect of marriage.

Who said it was stupid? I say it is stupid, because I think it is stupid. And it doesn't matter if there are loads of people out there who believe in it, or if their numbers are growing, I still think it is stupid. The available quantity

Is worth remembering that usually the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are also actually crazy and it isn't always good when they succeed.

Military procurement methods plus a culture of contract outsourcing do produce some amusing outcomes sometimes.

Stuff like this is required, not because there are problems with programmers, or even with education, or men, or women, stuff like this is required because of wider problems in our society as a whole. When most people have some level of gen

(Am I paranoid much?) It isn't paranoid to try and develop good bullshit filters, bullshit abounds. I reckon that at least ninety percent of what even the most rational and well informed people on the planet say, is probably bullshit, and

The law is not supposed to be a lottery. You sue people because something is wrong, not in order to profit. That said, the evidence is not on my side with that.

Sometimes it is useful to think of a really short line becoming a point, like in calculus, but that doesn't mean a point is a really short line any more than its a really tiny triangle or anything else we want to scale to a point.

I do wish the silent majority would shut up occasionally. You hear them on the telly all the time, and read about them in print. Going on and on and on about how no-one ever hears them or allows them any airtime.

Getting shit done is contagious. Be very careful to work out what kind of shit the people who get shit done are doing before you start hanging out with people who get shit done. A whole lot of shit might happen. You might get done. Or eve

You can scapegoat groups or individuals, the word itself applies in both contexts. If you want to find examples of scapegoating of individuals in India, then that isn't particularly hard either. Not that India is special in this regard.

I totally agree. These bloody modern terrorists, not sharing our views and customs. Bet they don't even play cricket. Very uncouth. You'd think that half of them had grown up in a war zone or something, the way they go on. Pass the gin. Not

No need to sulk I know, but I want there to be cool things that solve everything. And anyways, sometimes I enjoy sulking. Now excuse me while I go gather a huuuuuge pile of zeolite. :)

India never had scapegoats? Really? What about the caste system then? And if you don't think China did, then go read the Book of Lord Shang.

I dunno. Sharks. Laser beams. The works. At least it finally might bring mobile electronic payment systems in the US up to the same standard as in Africa. Will take the US a while to catch up though.

Found this really fun to read, a sort of 'how to found a company best practices' for the people who keep dreaming wistfully about armoured elephants and Alps.

On a similar theme, I really like the work of Dr. Lonnie Johnson, better known for designing the supersoaker, on his weird cross between a heat engine and a fuel-cell that he calls a JTEC; http://www.johnsonems.com/?q=node/2

Until I had a proper look at this, for some reason I thought you might be able to crank much higher temperature differentials out of the process. Still, I prefer finding out that I am dreaming and being wildly optimistic, than to never both

The horror indeed, for what should we do when we see these dastardly creatures? Should we wave pitchforks, or just ring the church bells to warn others, while we cower inside and pray?
