In the UK, you can break your rail journey on the flexible ticket types, but not on Advance fares. So you can either get a good deal by booking in advance, or by breaking a cheaper, longer journey - but not both.

Could make some classic songs interesting... "I found my thrill / on MARAMUT-GACIRA" "JODEGE-SIFAJAR is in my ears and in my eyes" "JACEGE-RURAJA forever"

The SNP probably brought in voting for 16 and 17 year olds on the basis that it might counter the strong 'No' vote in the 60+ group. However, that group is fairly equally split (45% Yes/44% No). I reckon they underestimated h

As someone who works in the cultural sector, and has seen a million terrible arts/museum/heritage sites, I quite like it. Yes, it has flaws - and not just the scrolling - stuff like having links rendered without underlining and in

Isn't there causation implied in that title anyway? Compare it with "States with smarter people have faster internet". The smart people were there first.

If this is the tweet you blanked out in the article: https://twitter.com/DeasesRuthann/status/464740467213496320 I'm interested in how that works. Is it a realistic-looking spam account you can hire? (Not jud

I don't want a beautiful browser, I want a functional browser - I generally want to focus on the site I'm visiting, not the gorgeous UI. The fun part now is wondering how long Classic Theme Restorer will be maintained. I give it 2

I had mil.af for a year (.af is part of CoCCA). When I tried to renew, the payment was refused and the domain was dropped. The NIC didn't reply to my emails. While I expected something like that to happen eventually, it might raise a f

In the UK, Amazon have just raised the cost of Prime from £49 to £79, and bundled in their (failing?) LoveFilm movie streaming service to excuse it. A lot of people I know (including me) are cancelling as a result - not due to the cost, but

Based on playing with the demo, I'd move to this in a heartbeat if there was a Lightroom sync plugin. (and would donate!)

I understand chip+pin is still a novelty in the US. Back in 2009, I was (apparently) the first person to use the chip+pin machine in one of the biggest bookstores in Toronto - the cashiers got excited and all gathered round to watch. It was

I saw their CEO speak at an event in Geneva last month - went in having not heard of MapBox, came out impressed. It's a really cool model - particularly the way that corrections made to a map by a FourSquare user, for example would be

"Create and automate retweets and tweets from 25 fake accounts"? This is definitely a hacky approach, not true digital marketing.

Free speech in the UK (and the rest of the EU) is governed by Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which you can read here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_10_of_the_European_Con... Basically, part 1 says "you have

Agreed, I was quite surprised (as someone from the UK) at the point of view expressed in this article. It does highlight how different our cultures are in some respects. Most people in the UK would support this action - the police are arre

Exactly. I can't help feeling some people are conflating the few people saying "everyone must code" with the larger number of those saying "anyone CAN code" here. Everyone should know a bit about coding, just as everyone should know a bit a

Yes. I work for a national professional body - a membership organisation - and we generate business (i.e. new members) through social media. We also retain more members because we can subtly remind them of the benefits they get, and respond

This applies to customers of DomainSite too (same company). Annoying, as they've been really good otherwise for many years.

I feel tablets are more a case of "Why do I need a typewriter? I have a word processor." My laptop and phone already do most everything my tablet does, but better. I gave up on my Nexus 7 after 3 months of trying to like using it. Somehow,

Agreed about line height - I usually go for 1.3em. 1.5 looks disjointed to me, feeling almost like each line is its own sentence or bullet point.

I've always used BetterSnapTool from the same developer, which is basically the window management features of BetterTouchTool as a standalone app. Not sure why it's not free, when BetterTouchTool is, but I'm not going to begrudge him that o

I would have used it, but it always said the username I wanted was unavailable (despite the page saying "This name is available!"). Then last month it suddenly became the page of a SF-based developer, which seems to happen all the time for

I would say 'liking' a page is consent to have 'Friend likes this page' appear in your friends' news feeds. It doesn't state that they liked that particular post. Annoying or not, I always thought it was reasonably clear that the post was c
