Nandos

I think this now explains two of the world great mysteries:

1) what happened to the dinosaurs

2) where do Nandos source their not particularly appetising low-cost protein content

Perhaps his further police career would be somewhat curtailed by the general knowledge of his - ahem - acting career.

Anyway at least these guys are being disciplined for their misdeeds. May put off others from doing the same.

QUOTE: In a nutshell, the tick list for successful candidates combines a logical and mathematical mind with an ability to solve problems and a good understanding of business needs. “They may not be coders, but the sorts of people who can translate user requirements in a way that a customer understands and a developer can work with,”

In other words, we need engineers.

Fabulous! New observations may enable us to throw out some old theories about solar system formation. My guess? The asteroid belt is the remains of a rocky planet that was smashed up early in the story.

To all you lot who say that voice recognition isn't secure enough. This is just one of many options available under Android. You pick whichever suits you best. Better to have a weak protection that you use than a strong one that you don't use because of the relative inconvenience.

Pay a bit more and get a 16:10 panel with IPS then hang on to it.

Well its kind of like a big expensive power-hungry doughnut. We pump in money here - and - er - ah yes you see that faint glow? That's fusion right there! Cool isn't it?

Raytheon wins £x10^8

From his reported comments it seems like the man in charge was being supplied with an air-laughing gas mixture.

Seems like they believe the myth that the only thing we struggle with is converting cleverness into profit.

I read somewhere there's very little nitrogen on Mars.

A confidential arbitration process

Regardless of how crap Raytheon were. The civil servants still managed to screw up the contract and left the public exposed to excess costs. Then they hold the legal proceedings in secret to try to hide their failures.

A linux lappy running the Bash shell?

I want one in black

Nice to know its not only YouView users who are stuck with a crap box.

How the BBC News Technology reported this

http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-31294745 And I quote:

The glitch is a result of the "photoelectric effect" phenomenon.

Albert Einstein won a Nobel Prize for his discovery that if a light hits a component and it generates a charge, it causes that component to reset.

I am guessing Rory is away skiing so they got an arts or history intern to write the article?

This reminds me - must get pulseaudio running on my Pi

Like many things in our wonderful modern world, the financials are out of touch with real world economics. I'm sure Tim Worstall would agree?

Or maybe it simply doesn't work and they don't want investors to cash-out just yet?

I have to admit I've not watched it yet

I always watch his films and they do throw up some interesting ideas. But he is not shy of putting the story ahead of the facts. This business of simplification is something he knows all about - perpetuating the myth about the death of UK manufacturing being a prime example.

New safeguards

In order to mitigate the quiet hydraulic pump the new unit will be designed to continuously whine about its working conditions:

ooh its too cold in here

ooh someone opened the blinds and its impairing my vision

ooh this chair I asked for is actually less comfortable than my old one

Or alternatively it is designed to whistle, hum and huff all day.

BE wasn't that bad

Yes it had plenty of faults but it was also funny in places, as is the book.

For something really bad try "Basket Case" or "Surf Nazis Must Die" both of which could have been _so_ much better if only someone with any skill or talent was involved with any of the production!

Interesting but is the result more general - does the substance inhibit memories of all types from being retained?
