    People don't want it because it's binary, not because you can't grep it. * you need to use a new proprietary tool to interact with them * all scripts relating to logs are now broke…

    I had the same feeling - plus the broadband there was terrible. I would never live in a suburb even if I was paid to. The middle of nowhere though, would be even worse than a subur…

    Mildly misleading title there; the dishes are all in the southern hemisphere IIRC. That said, Jodrell Bank is a very interesting place. Good article: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2…
