Scientists decry Bletchley Park's decline

Just out of interest

does anyone know why Bletchley isn't/wasn't eligible for Lottery Funding, whereas Eton School is?

Also why did Bill Gates refuse them money? Is this part of the conspiracy whereby all Americans think they are responsible for the invention of everything? (Not that there weren't Americans working at BP, in fact some were working there before the US joined the war)

Was told on a tour

of Bletchley Park that the British Govt turned down a request for cash by the Bletchley Park Trust. However the German Government gave them some instead. Ironic really.

Was also told on the same tour that HMG first tried to sell the site to a supermarket but were told they couldn't because there was a listed building there. So they knocked it down. But as they left the foundations it's now classified as a site of special scientific interest and still can't be touched. Just to add the final nail in their coffin the council also put preservation orders on most of the trees.

Seems like a lot of work just to stop them building a new Safeway/Tesco/Sainsburys etc.

BAA 'invented green superjumbo' to OK Heathrow plans

Re: Why London?

Wasn't there a plan a few years back to build an island and airport on it in the Bristol channel to save an hours flight for planes coming in from the US? The idea being that not all people fly to the UK from the US to go to London but to go to places like Bristol, Cardiff, Swindon?

Adobe boosts Flash media search with Google and Yahoo!

All that's needed now

...is for Flash player to stop being an utterly pathetic piece of software and we're laughing. In particular I love the way you go to sites and they won't let you proceed without installing Flash, so you go to the Flash site and install it and see the test Flash content, only to go back to the web site and be told to install Flash again ad nauseum ad infinitum. Just imagine that happening every time you go to do a search on Google. What joy.

Perfect link

Is it a coincidence that one of the links at the bottom of this story is for "Vulnerability management for Dummies" ?
