Re: Capitalism without bancruptcy is like religion without hell.
Birmingham doesn't have direct flights to London as far as I can see. But why on Earth would it? There are 8 trains an hour between Birmingham and London with the quicket (Virgin - every 20 minutes) taking about 1 hour 25 minutes and stop at Birmingham airport on the way. You're in London before you'd have even taken off.
I'd suggest the situation for Cork should be similar, but isn't.
There's a working Lisa on display in the entrance to The National Museum of Computing to mark the anniversary.
Sir Ive?!
Sir Jonathan, surely

Block C, where the education and visitor centre will be located, is *not* a wooden hut. It's a listed brick building that requires careful restoration. It is the building immediately to the right as you drive through the gate to Bletchley Park.

Folio
was the word processor used in Schools around here. It had a cyan background and black text. With four (graphical) fonts and was almost WYSIWYG.
Don't like the Ribbon UI...
...in Office 2011? Turn it off then!
The option is there.
Atom
As I recall they do have an Acorn Atom, but it's not on display.
OTOH The National Museum of Computer at Bletchley Park here in the UK has a whole 'classroom' exhibit full of working BBCs, including a Domesday project machine.
TfL Fare zones?
Now I like *that* as a unit of measurement.
Penicillin
was not invented - it was discovered.
Problem solved
At Marylebone, where this has been trialed, they fitted the ticket gates with barcode scanners that you just hold your mobile phone's screen over (in addition to the mag-strip slot and Oyster card reader). Worked fine when I used it.

They are.
It is supporting the standard: HTML5. And HTML doesn't define a standard video codec.
That's the first time in my life I've ever said anything to defend Microsoft. I feel dirty.
