I think there are a lot of people with back problems (definitely not all of them though) particularly desk workers (and not all of them either) who have a lot of their issues down more to a lack of core strength than anything else. Yoga, fr

Aaah the "Missed Conversation" things. I only get those for conversations I didn't miss. Apparently if I don't have the last word, I missed it. Fortunately my company uses Slack almost 100% for internal business.

Skype certainly is meant to be their main messaging app now. It's their only messaging app now. The trouble is, they also don't ever seem to have done anything to make it better, and the ongoing saga of native Windows 8 and now Wi

I consider Windows 10 to represent a significant step back from the Windows 8 UI ideas on Microsoft's part. Windows 10 makes a genuine effort to come to a system which can adapt for touch and non-touch UIs, rather than just using the f

Except in my experience in an organisation forced to transition from Lync to Skype for Business, Lync always worked fairly well (although we only used chat and voice calls), and Skype for Business was wobbly and unreliable. Even though they

Would depend a lot on who the Tories would pick to replace May, although the word this morning is that she has no intention of resigning. Doesn't mean someone isn't going to try and oust her though, there are a lot of Tories who&#

I'm a bit wary about the idea of a DUP + Tory agreement, because the DUP must know that the Tory position on Brexit is a huge threat to the stability and peace in Northern Ireland, and a hard border with the Irish Republic would be dis

Quite a few prominent EU figures have said they think it can be reversed quite easily. I imagine it gets harder the more negotiation has actually been done though, because especially if Theresa May takes her attitude to them there'll b

LibDems ruled out a coalition with anybody last night, they're not willing to step into that fire again - and they fundamentally won't accept either the Tory or Labour policies on Brexit.

Fear, confusion, rejection, hostility, being cut off from your family... I worried about all these things and all I was doing was coming out as gay. And I live in the UK, which has strong legal protection against discrimination on the basis

Cookies could be compliant with that, if they contained the entire session state and weren't a key into the session state on the server. They probably shouldn't be used like that, but technically it would be compliant with the req

Or even better, they could have made the side-by-side feature work for any web pages at all as a more general layout feature, with some kind of easy access toolbar to allow you to pop them in and out as desired. I think "Reborn" i

The issues people have with the move largely revolve around applications that need .NET Framework (such as WPF applications) which embed network servers currently built on ASP.NET Core 1.x, which runs happily in that scenario, but 2.0 won&#

My parents have used a Brita filter for years. For them it started out because they were fed up of descaling the kettle, as they live in a very hard water area (lots of dissolved minerals) and the kettle would scale up easily. But they also
