Re: Have they finished the aircraft carriers yet?

Yes, planes are still on order though.

Pretty sure most of the Dystopias and scifi films from the 70's and 80's had this sort of thing in.

Re: Can we even officially read it yet?

We're going to get TTIP'd in the arse whether we are In or Out of the EU. I can't see either Red or Blue managing to keep us away from it, in fact I see less chance of us staying out of TTIP if we leave the EU.

For me sticking in the EU means we're protected (just about) from the worst of the governments follies.

Re: Tiz the future!

I'm still waiting for the wristband that can tell the extension of your fingers/vibration/impact from ultrasonic analysis of your tendons so it could allow you to touchtype on anything.

I was wondering where that was for a Mouse replacement, it would solve a lot of problems I'm having with my wrist in my old age.

Re: Show me the money

Using the wrong kind of rabbit clearly.

Stopping you right there, take a look at the Parlimentary watchdog, the guys who ensure MP's don't sidestep into cushy jobs.

Those are the most useless bastards.

The ASA is merely a bit crap by comparison.

Re: Well it's the first I've heard of it

So thats who to blame for the dullness of that campaign.

Re: existing system and new idea

Thats actually more of an appealing way of working than our current 5 day a week, 9-5 lifestyle (9-5, who am I kidding, we work until we drop with just enough time to go home and sleep, if we get a weekend we're lucky)

Is it a fresh sheep? Do you have to kill it yourself?

Re: Poor Web Development

Websites are utterly foul to visit these days, many of them don't bother with backwards compatibility (LinkedIn is a bugger for this), have a horrible design for PC monitors and as soon as you hit them with a mobile browser spam you to install the app.

Most news sites are going down the Buzzfeed route for content as well, I'm watching the BBC site turn into a video infested shithole these days

Re: .......and probably a lot more I've not thought of

Re: Hmm...

Once we can convince the politicians what computers are capable of and the requirements to do so we can see IT projects work or be allocated the right resources.

Instead you have someone who doesn't use the software, tell the organisation it must have the software, then be built by people who aren't going to be there to nursemaid and test the project through to implementation and use by a range of people who aren't very skilled with computers.

Type COKE for refreshment!

Re: How about we get them modern electricity grids and cheap reliable energy first?

How about a comprehensive use of renewable energy and nuclear plants instead?

Re: We've been here before...

1) I took away that it had been 15 attempts for Bonnie to not just up and press the button.

2) The memory wipe was merely to ensure that noone was aware the box was empty, a bluff.

Not alone, sure I'd seen this before. In the 80's it was the Asteroid, then in the 90's it was a changing climate due to volcanoes, now its a mix of both.

As always in life, its a little from column a, a little from column b.

Re: I know it's not cool

I'd left myself subscribed to Flickr by mistake for a year or two, they updated the stats page so its now almost unusable compared to how it used to be.

Sub promptly stopped.

Feels good man.

Re: re: I still don't understand the irrational fear of nuclear power though.

Because I'm a London millionaire digging down in to a subterranean lair to avoid planning permission and increase the value of my multi-million pound home.

Durr.

Re: Reach out...

Pretty sure you'd be arrested for saying that to the wrong lady in a bar

Re: Could be a paradigm shift

I miss my Kindle Keyboard.

Got a new Paperwhite as my KK got damaged, and urgh the interface is a step backwards by a mile, and I miss those little buttons on the side that meant you could go back and forwards without touching the screen, yes touchscreen is useful, but its now actually harder for me to turn the page and oh fuck it'll be winter soon and I'll have to take gloves off... shit.

Still, the screen lights up which is useful at bus stops and low light.

Re: Henry VI part II, Act IV Sc 2 line 77

Most government contracts seem to punish the government if the private firm responsible does shoddy work.

Its insane, no matter how good or bad the work the company profits while the public pays the bill.

Re: Something that spellchecks headlines, maybe

A bastard amalgamation of butchered employee parts shaped into a twisted parody of a man, FrankenCIO, or just CIO for short.

Re: Yes, no doubt. And no - no possible way

I can see the future being to integrate phones into your DSLR somehow, allowing for wireless uploading or editing on the fly. Whether this is through a clip/micro USB on the camera or something more aking to keeping the sensor on the DSLR and using the phone as the 'brain' of the camera.

For some reason Film, Music and Game, companies equate every download with a lost sale, thats clearly not the case.

You do have assholes who just download it forever but then you get people who try it by pirating it and then get it or get it once its got to an affordable price (£60 games I'm looking at you...) you then have people who just download it and never watch half the crap they pirate because they are just addicted to the data and don't have time to watch or use half the shit they steal.
