The problem is finding the happy medium so that you can take advantages of economies of scale and providing something that is 'supplier fault tolerant'. Maybe cloud providers should be put into RAID array. Redundant Array of Inexpensive D........

I wonder how much Python is used within the Commission itself.

I was going to say if they are loon enough to grant it, I hope someone sends them a large bill for re-write/install with de-branded software that they use internally. Except of course, we still end up paying for it and logic like that never stopped that lot doing anything.

Gaffer tape.

Surely the easiest way is to gaffer tape the trip switch..........

They've been sold to.

The issue is probably* that Apotheker was sold to. And sold to in a big way. Now this could feel like misrepresentation when they finally look at the horses teeth but actually it's just another case of caveat emptor.

*judging whilst awaiting the outcome. But hey they're bound to find something. How many large companies accounts are 100% true?

I'd be interested to know what actually counts as using your phone during sex 'in a good way'. Handsfree? Conference calls? Knocking out an email?

Comfort

One of the big criteria for me was comfort. I'm out and about most days and I didnt want something that made me feel like I was about to go trekking (i.e. not too big) and had decent shoulder strap padding. Whilst most of the bags reviewed have sneaky little pockets for this that and the other, they are all on the large side or dont have well padded shoulder straps. The only bag I've found that works for me is the medium Samsonite Pro-DLX. Not cheap, but I've had the equivalent model for 5 years plus now and its still in great shape. It had the best padded shoulder straps I could find, wasnt too big and could get a decent amount of stuff in. I think its well worth a look. And no, I dont work for Samsonite. :)

Anyone else just tired with all of this?

There doesnt seem to be a day go by without X suing Y over some patent. Just seeing the headline annoys me. Cant El Reg just run a ticker board with running commentary and live score. Apple 56 Samsung 54 Googlrola 63 Microsoft 32 . Ballmer sent off in the 50000th minute for foul and abusive armpits.

Just change the name.

Not that big of a deal......

Data exists in three places or it doesnt exist at all......

One alternative

Use facebook and twitter. Worked for the rioters, Egyptians et al.

Clueless.

What else is there to say.

Maybe Nokia will buy WebOS

They can build the hardware, they just need the software.....

You never know.

Go live next to a nuclear power station.

They're pretty quiet.

Easy solution

Sell software with a specifc license exclusion to usage or ownership within the Eastern District of Texas. The good ol' boys can be stuck with a trusty Nokia 6310.......

Ah the joy of ODI.

Netx, LSL and the like. Scrabbling around for a floppy with the right drivers. Happy days.

We used to see how long we could leave servers running, - even putting off upgrades - just because we could. I think the highest we got to was about 1 1/2 years, but there were plenty of reports of people getting to 4 years plus, and even one where they 'lost' the server because a wall had been built around the it and noone had noticed.

It hads its quirks, but give it its due - Netware had stability that it had no right to when you consider the hardware it ran on.

Genius.

A review where the conclusion is to use as much RAM as possible, the latest processor and most up to date software.

A day well spent.
