I'm still hoping we get kicked out of:

- European Football

- Eurovision Song Contest

Go SpaceX

Actually it pushed 57 Starlink satellites to orbit + 2 customer satellites.

Starship at the moment is/was fuel tanks and an engine. So not really comparable.

If your adding Virgin Galactic's sub-orbital vehicle, then Blue Origin's Capsule should also be mentioned.

The Robots of Dawn

Detective Elijah Baley and R. Daneel Olivaw solve the third book.

4th Law added - The rights of the many are more important that the rights of the few.

aye the SkyQ also doesn't do loopback.

I believe 'Justice' is a devolved Power, so this will be England and possibly Wales.

Scotland and Northern Ireland are devolved AFAIK.

Well the BT router is better than Sky's QBox router and not just in WiFi strength.

You forgot to mention SpaceX starting to turn a stainless steel water tower into a test rocket (max height of 5km).

Anyone else see the episode of DOOMWATCH where the plastic eating enzymes escaped into the world ?

Hmm spacex.com/webcast said that the launch would happen on Wednesday when I checked at 23:30 last night. Is that not official ?

What they need is a large diplomatic bag and shove him in,

perhaps he can by the US Robotics name, that would go well with his latest purchase.

Well considering that most phones are using ARM processors and Acorn Computers Ltd designed the ARM (Acorn Risc Machine) for a desktop computer it's pretty obvious that a modern ARM should be even more capable of driving a desktop.

That's how the Cyber Race began.

And those that did not want it were changed anyway.

I assume it won't run RISC OS ?

How many rockets did NASA and their partners blow up ?

How many have SpaceX ?

I'm on EE and get the following on 4G:

Work ~ 40MB up/down

Home ~ 30 down / 1mb up

If I were OpenReach once a separate business I would double the prices.

I would rather that they legislated the manufacturers of the how gateways (routers) to add better configuration of the boxes, including using supplied white/blacklist lists if required.

Nimrod carried Loran sets

Crap EE

I very seldom can get much in the way of data download from EE in Edinburgh.

Even pings fail and have done for the last 9 months, so I would not hold out much hope for getting anything fixed.

Well I was originally with T mobile and it was fine.

But now with EE in Edinburgh, with 5 bars I can't even ping as it fails latency.

Sitting in the dentist in Dalkeith with 2 bars I can stream video.

I don't think the're that good.

I bought the budgie a DAB radio to listen to as I was assured it would work in my area.

But all I got were angry squawks from the budgie when I got home as the DAB radio had lost Radio 2 as the signal had been lost and the radio wanted to be retuned.

Now that I've switched back to Radio 2 on FM there is peace again in the house, well sort of.

First they blocked the Child Porn

And I did not speak out, because I did not look at Child Porn

Then they blocked the Kinky Stuff

And I did not speak out, because I was not look at the Kinky Stuff

Then they blocked the Hate Sites

And I did not speak out, Because I did not look at Hate Sites

Then they blocked the News Sites

And I did not speak out, because I did not look at News Sites

Then they blocked the Internet, And there was no one left to speak out when the Internet was silenced.

I don't really care, I've got a petrol generator hanging from my ceiling on a rope connected to a 12v battery and DCAC converter that runs my household gadgets.

I saw something like this in 1988.

The 'pictures' were on a wall and a BBC Micro and a joystick thingy was used to highlight each of the 'pictures'.

Lifetime Service?

We bought two tivos from Dixons and then bought two lifetime subscriptions.

Just a bit p*ssed about this.

First time I've heard about this.
