Years ago I took it upon myself to cancel a record of the month club membership belonging to a work colleague who died suddenly. They would not do a thing without a copy of the death certificate, so I had to tell them that all I could do th

My take on this is "well, I don't really know, but I don't see any obvious upside either, so no thanks"

FWIW sales of packets of ten were banned in the UK earlier this year, to deter youngsters from buying cigarettes.

That's exactly right. The old newspaperman in me is terrified by folks coming out and posting really controversial stuff, the sort that destroys reputations, and probably without the protection of legal oversight. In days of yore such

The first part of what you have outlined is in fact part of 'proper' journalism here in the UK. A journalist is supposed to approach the subject of the story and get their point of view, partly for reasons of fairness and balance

I've noticed that, starting quite recently, Bluetooth has always been off every time I've gone to use it on my trusty old Nexus 5. I figured it was the sort of bug that tends to accumulate on old phones, but maybe not eh?

They are terms that one can't apply to oneself. It's fine for other people to call me a thought leader, but I can't say it myself. I suspect this may also apply to "entrepreneur".

Agreed. We dropped AMP on nfcworld.com last month. Too much like building a business on somebody else's platform, and by now we all know where that ends up.

Is there a secondary market for places in the line?

A friend of mine got pulled aside for extra questioning at Newark in the mid-90s because he was wearing a t-shirt that proclaimed "Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast". I think the officer presumed it was some sort

Just did this this week. The only unexpected effect I found was that all our Facebook likes were reset to zero. FB must consider the two versions of each page as being separate and different.

Does it need to look at the cube again after it has observed the starting position?

by mpclark 10y ago
That'll be because that's what the press release said. Any seasoned journalist would have re-nosed this story to lead on the fact that it is a machine that manipulates a physical cube very quickly and poor old Infineon would not e

I believe the ICL "One Per Desk" was the slickest phone/computer combo commercialised around that time -- it shipped in 1984. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Per_Desk
