Re: Sadly I don't see Mike Pence doing this. He is too much of a sycophant

Yeah? That sycophant just saved your democracy, show some gratitude.

I'd he'd decided to back trump where would you be now?

re: If the scenes earlier today are anything to go by, not much.

Yeah, he's not black, funnily enough he'll be fine.

How can people argue there is no such thing as institutional racism when the response to white and black demonstrations is so obviously skewed?

Re: For many users it's an irrelevance; that's why they didn't include it.

But for some users it's an essential; that's why they should have included it.

You don't have to put an SD card in if you don't want to.

Re: and not by far more cunning people with a precise plan?

Uh oh! Conspiray theorist.

Re: you know who.

The "diplomat" who drove on the wrong side of the road and killed Harry Dunn?

If that's who you mean, why not say that?

Re: Yes the wonders of continual updates......

No, of course you should only update sparodically. That way when it goes wrong you've got a nice, untested reversion process.

One of the things that Agile does in forcing us to release frequently is improve the release process. Continuous testing is better than building it then testing it after. Likewise the familiarity and frequency of the release process mean that everyone is much more capable and the process is more robust.

Fear of change isn't a useful attribute in an IT professional, though neither is jumping on every bandwagon that rolls along. The trick is to spot which way the industry is going. How many people think waterfall will make a comeback? Was it really better to try and design and build the whole system up front?

Re: remarkable how graduates of non-mathematical subjects turn out to be able programmers.

What's remarkable is that people think you need to be able to do maths to be able to program. For the vast majority of coding work logic is what is needed, not maths.

Re: Looks like they can't win.

You've clearly not been watching, the bourgiousie are doing very nicely out of this little drama.

Re: They followed scientific advice and now we are hearing they shouldn’t have.

No. They followed a political belief that the state should be dismantled so they outsourced test and trace to a national startup instead of scaling out the existing, local based, infrastructure.

That's why test and trace is 22 billion spaffed up the wall. Now they've changed the way they calculate the figures and are claiming that means the service has improved!

Their fear of "the state" has cost hundreds of lives. They're playing politics with our future.

Re: as they invariably claim that they were personally unaware of the actions

So what? Legislate that they don't need to be aware to be responsible and send them down.

Re: Not that there are other conspiracy theories I do understand

Not even the JFK assasination? The theory is that the man blamed is not actually responsible.

The twin towers? Industrial architecture is too good for two planes to bring it down that quickly.

You don't have to believe things to understand them.

Re: The original folding phone, the Motorola Razr had one advantage

No, there were at least four:

1 When closed it's small enough to fit in a small pocket.

2 Open to answer/close to hang up.

3 Screen protected when phone folded and in pocket.

4 In use the mic is angled at your mouth while the speaker is next to your ear.

What more control would I need?

This article is about Google moving their ad tracking business to the server. Your browser and search engine won't matter when a site you visit has the Google tracking node module installed. You won't be able to tell from your end what's running on the server.

So if Google get their way you'll be tracked around the majority of the internet irrespective of browser and search engine.

Re: Good luck skipping adds on You Tube these days

You don't need luck, just noScript and UBlock+. You get pauses where the ads should be, but only for 5 seconds.

Mind you, this is playing a youtube playlist while logged out of Google, so the only domain allowed is youtube.com. If you want to log in you'll need to allow gstatic.com and google.com, maybe that's where the ads get in....

Could try allowing google and gstatic until you've got your access cookie then disabling them again once you're in.

Re: they recently made it illegal for the police to "steal" remove or push out homeless tents

Well if the pigs can't do what they like to the homeless you really have gone to hell.

Who cares about the homeless?

Re: Moronic statements don't help your agenda, you know.

"It's free because we paid for it before it was invented."

Does that not sound moronic to you?

It's all about money/profits and political point scoring.

FTFY

No need to pretend the East isn't run by money grabbing scum or that the west isn't allowing politics to drive it's vaccination efforts.

Did you see Matt Hancock "crying" on the tv? Or hear Williamson's "Best country in the world" bullshit? (Best guinea pigs in the world ITYM.....)
