Yes, Assange, we'll still nick you for skipping bail, rules court

Gazareth

one-sided statement

The judge is responding to his claim that the US want to extradite him. Assange brought it up. If he hadn't, then yes there's no need to mention the US; and it wouldn't have been.

Private sub captain changes story, now says reporter died, was 'buried at sea' – torso found

Gazareth

Re: Generous police

Yep, seems they did find blood matching Ms Wall's on the sub, so ignore my amateur level forensics.

This case has gone from weird to pretty nasty, got to feel for her friends & family.

Gazareth

Re: Generous police

Remove all traces - probably not. But it would contaminate/dilute pretty much all available evidence to the point where it's useless.

And of course, it's probably impossible to prove that any evidence found was on board prior to the sinking.

Intel's 8th-gen CPUs are called Ice Lake. And so are the 9th-gen

Well, the statement's part of an earnings report for the quarter, so it's logical to be phrased that way.

Probably also review the bit that has them contacting 'palace insiders' whom apparently responded as if the event had actually happened.

Burgular Alarm

Had that exact same problem last week, when coming into the office for a software release. At 3am. Urgh.

Gazareth

Re: Burglar Alarm Fix

Yes, with a similar problem, didn't want to use different alarm code. Would have needed to change bank pin too.

It's a right pain when you have to change your birthday too.

SQL Server for Linux: A sign of Microsoft's weakness. Sort of

"then you need to license EVERY CPU controlled from the same VCenter"

I don't think that's too different to how you have to license SQL on VMWare/other virtualisation platforms.Gets a bit fuzzier with SA though.

Although I'm no licensing expert.

Don't think the drives need cooling particularly. Or at least, not to the level that would require liquid cooling.

Avengers: Age of Ultron – blisteringly big banter, brawls and brio

Gazareth

Re: Blacklist

I believe so. Ultron had identical mannerisms to Red. Amusingly, to reflect the height of the character he had to act with snail-like eyes on stalks on his head. Imagine that if you will.

Gazareth

I don't see any spoilers there. Personally I'd rate it as enjoyable but worse than the first Avengers film.

Main problem for me was trying to fit too much content into a 140 minute film. Not least due to the sheer number of characters. Make it 3 hours and I bet it'd be great.

Hola HoloLens: Reg man gets face time with Microsoft's holographic headset

Re: So pray tell,

"Reporting on technology will make anyone a bit grizzled and cynical over time, but occasionally something comes along that just blows you away. HoloLens is the fourth such creation to make this hack say "Holy f**k!" (in a good way) in the last two decades."

So 3 other tech creations over 2 decades, rather than 3 other facets of the HoloLens themselves.

(Which reading about has elicited as response of "Holy f**k!" (in a good way) from me :))

Gazareth

So pray tell,

what were the other 3 creations that elicited such a response?
