Microsoft taking CodePlex behind the shed and shooting it by Christmas

good job all the good programs are still on sourceforge

Y'know CSS was to kill off HTML table layout? Well, second time's a charm: Meet CSS Grid

css sucks, most websites are so full of it, they use 100% of the CPU and take 2 mins to actually work, and only allow 1 browser tab open

html tables are far faster then even more junk of css

Microsoft wants screaming Windows fans, not just users

show me the money, bored of beta testing for free and finding all the main bugs , then all the tard youtubers get everything for free

Plans to force ISPs to filter content branded 'disproportionate'

meh, what happens when your kids goto bed and customer services are down

kids should be using windows 10, and thick parents can enable a filter on their kids windows 10 account, they need admin privileges to shutdown

NASA swerves serious cash cuts – but Earth climate probes, asteroid snatcher face axe

Van Allen surprise: fewer nasty particles than NASA expected

Re: Re. Van Allen

you have a super conducting hull which is streamlined unlike bricks that are skylon, NASA shuttle, x37b, the magnetic field just acts the same as earths magnetosphere and pushes solar radiation around your craft seamlessly

real force fields have been working for 5 years to stop RPG's on tanks

the best design for a new shuttle would be something like http://www.fiddlersgreen.net/aircraft/Lockheed-F19/IMAGES/Lockheed-F-19-Stealth-Fighter-Title.jpg

good for force fields, good for reflecting small debris. rear tail can fold down in space

capsules were something like 60% lead, which was why everything else was so basic

NASA finds India's missing lunar orbiter with Earth-bound radar

Re: @ Zmodem

if they have em thrusters working, they will just fly around for 30 years like ameria and the tr3b and leave skylon to have reaction engines if they dont fail in 2020

Re: @ Zmodem

doubt it, a maglev train uses around 8000Kw to move along at 400mph, and so does the french TGV train, so a jet fighter like BAE, would need less then 0.2MW reactor, and that would still be overkill if you want mach 4, and had a nanotube superconducting forcefield and decent radar system with super computer onboard

and fly from the ground and into space without the need for air for combustion which is'nt happening, and use a power charge to shoot off, or just fly around the world non stop for 10 years at mach 4

Re: Lost property

so now you find them all having a party at rudloe manor and salisbury plain every weekend in the underground city that goes from 1 to the other

Re: Lost property

they nuked the one on the dark side of the moon a few years ago

Re: "KNowing where to look"

they just arnt doing it right, when most are made from iron and not stealth material, asteriods would be easy to pick up with the right setup

if you design a ship right with curves, you just need 2 demi domes center top and bottom, instead of a big ball like a apache helicoptor and other planes

probably whats powering the mystery plane https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiFIw8OkTWk

need ait to cool the magnets or you end up with plasma

whats with the thumbs down, its the only way to navigate space, especially if you want to go 256 million MPH with my EM pulse propulsion thrusters, BAE Systems probably have working in fighter jets https://youtu.be/NMMA5KgIvYE?t=2m19s with 0.05 second accerlation to reach 256 million MPH with some megawatt magnets and the repelling force

its more todo with building my navigation system using topology radar to scan for space debris with omni directional pings, and generate 3d models in the 3d star map to be used in the next gen space shuttle

so they would want elite dangerous engine without the game assets, just the 160,000 real time stars from our own galaxy https://www.elitedangerous.com/ - then link up your gyroscopes, and thrust math for 1:1 real time positioning of your craft in space, with a procedurally drawn galaxy stored on DNA and just update the renderer until holograms come along

Zombie webcams? Pah! It's the really BIG 'Things' that scare me

This is where UK's Navy will park its 65,000-tonne aircraft carriers

Re: Be glad it's Portsmouth,

scotland does'nt do nothing anyway, they only give back £100m a year

Re: Up and down an inch or so...

cable slack, portsmouth has been the navy's home for many of years so they have all the tide data they need, predicting waves and tides is as accurate as 5 day weather forecasts

has 300 bigger and more powerful railguns

air craft carriers arn't possible without nuclear power, diesel turbines cannot ganerate enough power or electric to be able to turn the axles

Anti-TV Licensing petition gets May date for Parliament debate

Re: Yours is really the standard pro argument

the BBC is terrible, with £4,350,000,000 to spend every year, you think you could afford good movies like film 4 and horror, and some good programs like channel 5 and spike

Re: Yours is really the standard pro argument

ITN is better for war coverage, soldiers are all regular people, and ITN does the news on all their channels that watch so ITN get all the insider stuff and they did'nt carry on talking for 5 mintues about nothing much when the first tower started to fall on 9/11 before they realised

Re: comparisons

they provide nothing, they are a complete waste of time

i have'nt watched anything on the bbc since the south west was able to get channel 5 and nascar was on all night, back in the end of the 90s, i just delete them off my tv and im missing nothing

Re: Yours is really the standard pro argument

"since you don't pay for my private health insurance, why should I pay for your NHS treatment?"

the NHS will still be the people who pick you up in a ambulance after you have dialed 999 in an emergency and take you to your private health care after treating you on the way

Re: Yours is really the standard pro argument

why would you want to waste £10 on nothing, when you have to pay for sky, netflix, prime, etc which you actually use and have something to actually watch

the only time the bbc is important is if a nuclear bomb drops, and then nobody will know about it because nobody watches the bbc

most people like the bbc, like 10,000 or so, don't need income tax, you can just put national insurance up £10 a month instead of everyone paying the bbc

knowing you won't die because you have a broken finger is better then having nothing at all for your money

30,000,000 * 145 = £4,350,000,000 and still absolutely nothing on the BBC to watch, get rid of the licence and the BBC and the country will be better off

thats an extra £4,350,000,000 for the NHS instead of bothering to leave the EU

Nintendo Switch orders delayed: Dun dun dun... dundundun dundundun dadada!

buy an xperia z+ phone, they are better, and been doing everything a switch can do for the past 4 years, with better games, and all the PC ports the switch will have no chance of ever getting, and you can play your playstation 4 remotely over 3/4G and wifi

O2 daddy Telefónica reports 12.5% drop in UK sales

EE has 30 million customers most of which came with t-mobile and orange, EE buying those and merging them was ok, no one with a braincell would choose to switch to EE with rubbish plans and data and call charges

BT brought EE for its fibre and wholesale pricing so they can control all mobile networks, and want the money directly by making mobile internet slower then landlanes so 4G is running at 0.4Mbps, the other 38% of the 80% of home broadband users get bored and get a 20Mbps land line that runs at 2Mbps from BT

Three and o2 can bring the compition back to BT and EE and lay down their own fibre with less customers and unlimited data without throttling or caps and have mobile data running faster then land lines

three's 3G network is faster then EE and o2's can peak at 7.2Mbps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx9Q8zHgMzQ

whats wrong with 3 buying o2 when BT can buy EE

Huge if true: iPhone 8 will feature 3D selfies, rodent defibrillator

why, iphones are shit, you can look around the internet for photography samples, they all suck and simple, so they can only do selfies

who are sad enough to actually own alot of apple products, they all suck and don't do nothing much

you can root a xperia and happlly have a full linux, unlike samsung where nothing on google play works even when you phone is'nt rooted

iphones and galaxy's are for the cool, proving they both suck and people will buy it just to be cool, all fashion products are rubbish and never do nothing much

Re: Defib

in the real world it will make the iphone banned in nearly every country

whats wrong with bluetooth 4 and quick access to 1000s of devices rather then 3 devices with an iphone 8, before 3d selfies, they should make the camera better, and as good as the xperia z3 atleast with a simple point and click https://s24.postimg.org/7h0xkxwwl/DSC_0005.jpg, selfies are all the iphone camera can take

Zuckerberg thinks he's cyber-Jesus – and publishes a 6,000-word world-saving manifesto

Re: Bah!

britain is full of the middleclass who goto work, and then stay in every night watching tv hiding from the world they created for themeselves and can afford £40 atleast because they are allowed £10,000 saving and tax credits while claiming housing benefit, while everyone who works less then 30 hours still has to put up with nothing more then unemployment benefit, the rest of you wage goes on rent and council tax

obviously a script kiddie who made a wack site that entertains only stupid people

mans was so happy finding out you can uninstall everything todo with facebook on a xperia z3

Cheer up, pal: UK mobe networks are now 8% less crap, tests show

Re: Odd

giffgaff reached 7MBps on 3G https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx9Q8zHgMzQ

Re: Odd

its not worth a thumbs down, other networks have the same speed as EE and alot cheaper phonecalls to landlines, more so three who's phone calls are the same as BT landline to landline prices

PAYG user's won't stick around for to long either, giffgaff is alot better and the next t-mobile for all the clubs and night life with the £20 unlimited everything addon they have

Re: Odd

you can't get 50MBps on 4G

mobile data, and test for mobile masts that are relays, until your connection get near the main mobile exchange, then your connection switches to fibre ground lines and wholesale from EE, which BT put the price up and stopped all other mobile networks having unlimited addons, except for giffgaff and t-mobile, but t-mobile is and was the main network EE are based on, orange was crap from day 1

BT have made EE worthless, without the data speed or unlimted data being usable, the call charges are just retarded and not worth paying, EE speed on 3G has dropped 3MBps over the past 2 months, after being 5+ MBps for the past 4 years, and was able to keep a constant speed, now EE/t-mobile are just pure crap and not worth bothering with

Re: All I want is a fucking reliable signal O2

try giffgaff, i actually have a signal in the bowels of hell called work, just don't use 4G, its twice as slow as 3G most of the time, 3G and peak at 6MBps and quickly drop to 4 or 3, i never saw 6 on EE, the fasest i ever saw was 5.4MBps

so im probably in 6 -> 8 feet of bath stone

its a shame all the test have'nt been done over the past month, EE are the slowest network by far, it makes them more of a joke capping downloads at 10KB/s for the best part of a month after you go over the 3GB fair use limit

BT have made them bankrupt
