All that energy, inevitably generated from coal, used to power the deleters! Hmm....

Despite being born in the UK and being a British citizen, I'm entitled to a Swiss passport as my father is Swiss. I think it's about time I got one and bailed. This country is turn…

I guarantee this won't work properly with respect to touch so you won't get anywhere useful with respect to evaluation. Touch doesn't work with VMware workstation and my Sony touch…

Put it back the way it was. That worked very well with a mouse! Windows 8 is all change for the sake of change rather than a rational incremental improvement. I REALLY like Windows…

Probably a big loss. It costs in their other market sectors which include Chemo drugs, various palliative care drugs/equipment. Technically, they're pricing the cure high so it doe…

Ultracapacitors are great and all that but they can discharge incredibly quickly causing all sorts of problems (fires, explosions, dead equipment etc). These are several orders of …

I did the same. Plus the education was an expensive proposition that had no return as just about everyone I studied with now understands. I know a qualified BSc mechanical engineer…

Ha nicely described. I think you hit the nail on the head. On a side note: I fucking hate Shoreditch hipsters - you are a disgraceful parasite to the industry in the UK.

I'd rather build it and see - it's more fun.

Perhaps they do not wish to be educated? That is my impression. Don't sort out education, sort out the social stereotypes and cultural issues that turn people into pieces of shit. …

Hence why all my family members who work in construction have very cheap Nokia phones. The problem is solved. They work in crappy environments, cost $20 to replace (my father in la…

Just use a Java EE 6. They got rid of all the horrible bits. It's actually really nice now. Host on Glassfish v2.

I viewed the comments just to write what you have. It's like reading CNet. Someone should write an app that turns shitty articles across lots of pages into one page!

Two reasons: 1. It's bloody slow. Well it is here in the UK. Even Bing is orders of magnitude faster. 2. It's now expensive.

> forced by a family member to be a Windows support desk, you have my pity.... Thank you - it's nice to know there are people out there thinking about us :(

I reckon that "drug induced microkernel" was a stab at Tanenbaum :-)

> Being able to have non-techies run Fabric tasks is definitely a goal that's passed me fleetingly in the night. Isn't that equipping monkeys with guns? We all know what happens wh…

Tempted to stick it inside my BBC master case and run BeebEm on it :)

Your post is the only sensible and realistic one in this entire thread. I congratulate you! I shall now park myself behind my ThinkPad with a real keyboard and get some work done r…

It's good but it's hard to skip large spans i.e. years.

Well we should obviously NEVER EVER use any LISP derivatives (car/cdr/cons). These sort of articles make me sigh. They are narrow minded and miss the point that everything is a com…

Take Trac, stick that in jpython on top of the JVM and you're done!

> Let me finish on some faint praise: they are by FAR the least worse of all the 'enterprise' software we use :-) That's like saying "they're the least bad rapist". I do agree thou…

Four words: "You shouldn't have to". Unfortunately, due this responsibility being approximately 5% of my time, I don't have time to invest in to-and-fro with Atlassian. I expect so…

I wouldn't want to be saved by them :)
