Presumably you're joking but since I've seen real examples of this, I'll mention that that's false precision and should be 60 metres.

In agreement with the others, it tells us that he isn't the kind of ass who would say, "isn't that like compilers 101 stuff".

So that they understand how a network mask works? I'm assuming if you're working on the web you ought to know something about networks, right?

Ah, I was thinking of the election rules where they are required to give a representative amount of time to each party, not the impartiality rules which, frankly, are vague to the point of uselessness. The classic example of BBC lies would

They are only required to provide "balanced" coverage during an election, nothing more. The BBC is absolutely biased, as was made clear during the 2014 Scottish Independence referendum. The distortions and outright lies they conti

I'd be interested in this too. I don't recall ever donating through a Donate button, though I've put money in Kickstarter and I always payed above average for Humble Bundle when I bought them. It seems the tougher part is get

No, you are initiating the action by requesting the file from me. You did request the file didn't you? Even though you should have known it wasn't public information?

> most of the money spent on R&D in the entire world is funded though pharmaceutical sales in the US. This is not true, and I've already told you this. Pharmaceutical R&D spending in 2015: USA $47B, Europe: $33B. Total drug

Nope, drugs sales in the EU alone are enough to cover pharmaceutical R&D costs worldwide. What they aren't enough to cover is Marketing costs, but that's OK since most EU countries don't allow direct marketing of drugs.

Your link [1] has a link to a page with the Actiontec firmware downloads that includes Busybox. They clearly are still distributing it and are following the complience agreement. This appears to be an example that is the direct opposite of

"Bread" is also a colloquialism for money. It's the same joke.

Fair enough. Sorry. I hate defending the BBC because they're so insidiously biased, but they definitely don't accept money for articles. But my grumpiness is no reason to miff people!

Because you failed to read the following paragraphs that talked about different companies? It's the BBC. They aren't allowed to take money for articles. Of course, they aren't particularly fussy about what press releases they

It's actually the exact opposite. You have more of a "my neighbors should pay for it" view. That's why you object to paying taxes so much. You want all the benefits of living in an advanced society, but you want someon

Of course it is. The most points I've ever got for a single post, were for a one-line joke. But then, my joke was funny.

It might be worthy of mention that when it comes to operating systems, the last two Unix systems have dropped out of the Top500 and so it is now 100% Linux.

I do get what you mean; my 48k Spectrum was certainly a simpler machine than my current laptop! But I still think there are simple things that beginners can do. The whole SAVE, LOAD, RUN concepts also had to be learned. And you only need to
