Re: Compute time was billed at around £750-800 per hour

"Surely time is a noun. Wouldn't that make compute an adjective? More specifically, since it is based on a verb, a participle adjective?"

It's a noun used as an adjective.

"Compute" is a verb. The word you're looking for is "computer", which is a noun.

You're welcome.

Oh, the irony

'"Egyptian society is conservative by nature and rejects these websites," said Mohamed Nour, spokesman for the Salafist Nour Party, after the news was announced.'

If that's true, then there's no need for censorship. If you need censorship then it's a lie. QED.

Re: All these apps for news, sport, weather, video etc..........

"Why not just use a web browser?

You know everything in one place. All these different apps for different things just seem a bit arse about face."

Because with a web browser you can do naughty things like blocking ads, preventing scripts and cross-site scripting, etc.

Whopping supersonic-car rocket rattles idyllic Cornwall

Big-nosed Pengie

Back in the old days...

...to qualify for a record, a car had to be just that. The engine, whatever it was, had to drive the wheels and the wheels drove the car. Just strapping a rocket onto a set of wheels didn't qualify. Not a bad rule IMO.
