Having actually spoken to some of the people who work on this stuff at the BBC, they don't want to. They want to make as much quality television accessible to as many people as possible. In fact, internal systems already exist for ac

I once had to help out a struggling interviewee whose Prezi had failed because his laptop wifi wasn't working. Talk about poor choices.

As a long-time Adblock Edge user, thanks. It's a shame they don't have a mechanism to alert users about that.

Interesting, and very much an American thing - never heard anyone say 'on accident' here in the UK.

"armchair quarterbacky" would make quite a good password, but unfortunately it's 1 character over their limit.

As I understand it the microphone is connected to two always-on telephone lines (second one as a backup).

I always thought BI was just a clickbait site with a fancy name.

Why would they? The context is different.

To me-too your "me too", I switched to FastMail three years ago and haven't looked back.

Let me reach out to you about why I left Gmail for FastMail. It's because if you're not paying for the product... you ARE the product. Yeah.

And for an app that just lets you selectively blur out bits of images. GIMP can do that in seconds, for free. It's indicative of the state of the App Store that there are so many apps like this. The worst culprits - in my view - are &#

Indeed - they became Rockstar North. Their offices are still in Scotland (Edinburgh, though, rather than Dundee).

Yes, it would work very well. There's a near-perfect homebrew port on the DS[1]. I'm not sure why they haven't licensed it yet. [1] http://www.mrdictionary.net/lemmings/

As a place that could spawn tales as tall as Gef, the Talking Mongoose[1] just before the war, it's fair to say the Isle of Man was very isolated... [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gef

I don't feel they are necessary, even for less advanced users. Apple do a reasonably good job of keeping things safe and up-to-date. The number of users may also reflect their pushy "you need this!" marketing. I installed Mac

Databese should be an alternate term for big data.

Agreed, I've been attending mystical/religious/occult events for a while now and I just end up meeting weirdos.

Another fantastic outcome of non-profit (lol) Nominet's recent, desperate attempts to squeeze every last penny out of the .uk tld.

I've got a Logitech (non-folding) solar-powered keyboard. Happy to report it's been working for nearly a year now using that delicious sun energy. Being a sceptic, I did also put it in a sock drawer for a few days after use to see

I love Stowaways too - I had one for a Palm, around 2002. Then went looking for a Bluetooth one a few years later, only to find nobody makes them. I guess either they are inferior to the foldable ones you can get everywhere (haven't tr

I don't think the drama is aimed at the same audience as the computers.

Not forgetting the stalwart JavE ( http://www.jave.de/ ), although it seems unmaintained, and isn't non-destructive/object-based/whatever you want to call it. I like Monodraw, and I know you're an indie de

This doesn't install the whole theme though (at least for me), just changes the colour scheme. To that, you'll need to install the theme by following the instructions on the Afterglow github page.

Arguably, the Nazis carried out fascism to the letter, while the USSR, North Korea et al have created a highly bastardised version of communism.

Like others, I use Fastmail's calendar now. I also run my own Baikal[1] server for CardDAV/contacts (though I guess I could run my calendar on it too, since it does CalDAV). [1] http://baikal-server.com/

If being a marketer is a bullshit job, then being a web developer is a bullshit job too. Most people could spend a week with a marketing book and do some basic marketing. Likewise, most people could spend a week learning WordPress and creat

Indeed, I just read an article entitled 'Why doesn't Amazon sell iPhones'. Who's right? http://www.cnet.com/news/why-doesnt-amazon-sell-iphones/
