Re: It's whether the degree is *hard* or *soft*
Be afraid categorising all courses, a quick quote from the the BBC's April Fools Day: 10 stories that look like pranks but aren't - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-21993582
Universities are offering courses in Harry Potter and "ethical hacking".
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
Re: Won't somebody think of the history?
Historians in the 23rd C will know our time as the period when people took photos of everything with very poor cameras. Which is odd, as 10 years before all the analogue pictures were pin sharp

Reason's for 2013?
I'm still looking for a good reason to move from 2010 to 2013. There's no real compelling feature that I can see, other than the slightly less reliance on Powershell, but if you've been admining it since 07 you've had to learn it all anyway
Roll on 2016, maybe they'll fix the backend database away from needing the etsutil tools from Ex5. Maybe...

That's rather unfair, in Blackadder Goes Forth, he played a caricature of Field Marshal Haig, who just happens to be identical to all his other characters

Posted in Reg readers brew up the ultimate cuppa
To confuse things, masala chai
1 inch of ginger, chopped fine
1/3rd cinnamon stick
2 cardamon pods
4 cloves
6 black pepper corns
Crush them all up in a pestle & mortar
Add mixture to 1/2 mug water, 1 mug of semi skimmed milk, 2 sugars and 1/2 teaspoon of loose indian tea
Heat until the milky tea starts to boil over, then lower the heat to a simmer. Repeat 4 times
Strain
Drink, and wait for an English batting collapse

Re: Good to know all that aid money is not being wasted, eh?
This is a really poor argument, and I'd suggest you have no idea of the scale of India and it's problems
The amount of aid that is given per person per year equated to roughly £10. The fact that they are also investing in international projects which will bring in, hopefully, large capital investment does not mean that the vast majority of the population don't need help.
Your statement is this same as saying, "Those bankers in London, they get paid a fortune. There must be no one poor in Europe"
No icon given, it's not a flippant matter

Beats Bulldog
I moved to TalkTalk after 2 years of being with Bulldog. I swapped because one day I got no DSL service. After trying all the usual, I bit the bullet and called the Helldesk, where I was told I lived too far from the Exchange to get broadband.
Oh, sorry about that, I'll just put my house back to where it was yesterday. There. Any better now?
Business
This is going to be aimed for a business cash cow, and they are going to give it away for home users to get the critical mass, just like they did with Windows 95 to create the NT4 drive.
Full Office will cost an arm and a leg, but if the device half the price and more importantly weight of a laptop, and fits in an org's AD seamlessly, every road user and director in the Western world is going to demand one.
Welcome to the revolution comrades, there are no new marketing strategies, you just polish off the old ones and give it a new name.

Re: Gun ownership.
Bill Hicks had it right;
No one has handguns in England, not even the cops. True or false? True. Now-in England last year, they had fourteen deaths from handguns. FFFFFourteen. Now-the United States, and I think you know how we feel about handguns-woooo, I'm getting a warm tingly feeling just saying the ******* word, to be honest with you. I swear to you, I am hard. Twenty-three thousand deaths from handguns. Now let's go through those numbers again, because they're a little baffling at first glance. England, where no one has guns, fffffffourteen deaths. United States, and I think you know how we feel about guns-woooo, I'm getting a stiffy-twenty-three thousand deaths from handguns. But there's no connection, and you'd be a fool and a Communist to make one. There's no connection between having a gun and shooting someone with it, and not having a gun and not shooting someone. There have been studies made and there is no connection at all there
