OMFG. Hardware mfg of medical equipment issues *patches*
F**k me sideways.
Unlike apparently every NHS supplier of large type kit, like CT and MRI scanners, who seem to run XP and can't be bothered.

Funny you should say that.
Friends who've looked into this say that UC looks exactly like someone is trying to get a clean load of some sort of IDK, let's call it a "National Identity Register" database, for wont of a better term.
Including that a mobile number is mandatory. Handy for people in desperate need.
*That is to say people who the UK government has a desperate need to keep track of.
Easy.
Govists hated Johnsonistas who hated Daviesites who hated Govists
As May had never shown any inclination to independent thought she was the compromise candidate. Not actively disliked (very much) by anyone.
That works fine at Ministerial level but once you make it to 10 Downing Street you actually have to set the direction, not follow it.
And no one's ever told her how to do that.
Meanwhile JRM circles ever closer, like a well dressed and well spoken shark. Or fanatic of the Inquisition, which is what he sounds like if you stop listening to how he sounds and listen to what he's saying. The complete ban on all abortions (including victims of rape and incest) gives you some idea what he means by "Radical social policy."
Unless of course it's "purposes" are
Inciting hatred against foreigners
Improving sales of tabloid newspapers encouraging Brexit.
Avoiding blame for the incompetent motherf**kers in senior management and the succession of sock puppets who've been the Minister (T. May being the last) by blaming the EU.
Expanding surveillance for 24/7/365/ of everyone in the UK.
In which case it's doing an outstanding job. Otherwise I'd call it a "Centre for Evil" in the UK.
A veritable "dream team" of s**t programme delivery right there.
"and had failed in their professional duty of care to their client."
Are you f**king kidding me?
These are con-tractors. "Duty of care" is an idea from real professions where there are actual legal penalties if you violate it.
that lent a serious helping hand.
Indeed.
Looking it up it seems although the Amiga did not have a proper Motorola MMU, it did have shall we say "hardware assisted" memory mangement?
Also it's O/S was not Linux (or a Unix port) but something called "Tripos" which came out of Cambridge University and was written in BCPL, the precursor to C.
The Atari ST, not so hot.
If it works then people will at least consider a large passenger jet at > M1.
OTOH if the hooter needs to be that long to cut the boom for M1.4, what will it be like at M2? Or M2.5? Or 3.
This is the first project I've seen for a long time which really does need a backronym.
SNAPE or DURANTE perhaps?
But that would have ruined the apparently user friendly (but deeply citizen unfriendly) backronym.
So it's no longer safe dealing with US subsidiaries if you want your data secure.
Don't deal with US companies for data storage or transmission at all.
Not while they've still got their BFF in Redmond to ensure their OS will slow down their next generation of hardware.
Until that little co-dependent facilitating partnership is broken up they will be BAU until the chips get down to 1 atom thick insulators on the gates.
You know what I'm saying.
And yes, biometrics. WTF when your prints are swapped with a shoot-on-site terrorist.
Data sharing. Yes. Central data repository. No.
And FFS do the data cleansing before the migration, because I guaranf**kingtee it won't be done after.
As I imagine anyone who's lived through being hit by would would also.
I once did a very rough calculation of the power of a Tornado.
It came out about 1000 GW, or 1 TW.
Top tip.
Getting into an argument with Mother nature will probably end badly.
Researcher "Why do you think this storm will have dangerous hail"
NN "Well because the others with these characteristics did."
But what are the key factors? What are the factors that are less important?
And BTW that's 88% correct against existing predictions.
So it's 12% less accurate that the existing predictions.
So how accurate are they to begin with?
Exactly.
Something a lot of people just don't seem to get.
So doing it this way improves the chances of it being accepted by most companies, as well as home users.
That's important because the truth is the internet is only as secure as its weakest link.
No doubt it will flush out a few middle boxes written by code monkeys from a bunch of code they trawlered up from some code repository they barely understood. *
So cautious thumbs up.
*I wonder if this will include the hardware that implements the UK Snoopers Charter, supplied by the BAe subsidiary formerly nown as Dettica, formerly known as Smith Associates.
Actually true.
Unfortunately you're looking at looking at another pressure vessel, but at 200atm, not 666atm.
And it'll be around 300c.
About the operating conditions (without the radiation) inside a PWR (while a modern coal fired power station runs around 540c and is therefor much more efficient, and cheaper, than a nuke).
Not impossible, but a challenge.
True.
I doubt there's even a Lithium battery recycling factory in the UK. IIRC the car and truck batteries go to France for reprocessing (but I believe it's quite an effective process).
OTOH I'd bet recovering the major raw materials from old EV battery packs is a lot cheaper than first mining them from the ground. I'd guess the "rare earth" magnet motors could be quite recyclable as well.
That alone gives the lie to any "Green fuel" bu***hit about Hydrogen.
Never mind that 3x more energy is spent either cooling it or compressing it. IOW you get out (at most) 1/4 of the energy you put in.
TBH at that pressure you could start by driving the wheels through a crank shaft linked to a couple of reciprocating cylinders IE an expansion engine, before you fed it to the FC.
Aside from "Alternative Energy without the hot air" you mean?
Issues with H2 fuel cell cars.
1)They are not fuels, they are energy carriers, storing the energy generated elsewhere.
2) What kind? The LH2 at -253c or the GH2 at 10 000psi? BTW the USAF (who deal with quite a lot of pressure vessels, like the one that destroyed the AMOS 6 satellite on the F9 a while back), rate them by "lbs of TNT equivalent." and 10Ksi is toward the high end of such tanks.). There is a (relatively) low pressure system using metal alloys that absor/desorb GH2 but people seem to think it's heavy. Google "Interstitial hydrides."
3) A US study reckoned the diffusion and embrittlement issues are containable (so to speak) with suitable alloys. But you're looking at a whole new distro network with (ideally) all welded joints. LH2 normally uses "Vacuum Jacked Line," which is double skinned piping with an evacuated cavity between. It's a PITA to use and mfg.
4)We know how to do bulk storage of gases (really large scale) much better than store electricity.
But I'm not unbiased. Hydrogen is the physicists choice for a fuel. Not an engineers choice. IMHO
Fuel cells ¬ stupid.
Fuel cells with H2 (on Earth) very stupid.
My alternate fuel choice is the sugar solution fuel cell.
Room temp storable liquid.
Compatible wit existing supply chain .
Very safe to handle (unless there are bees or wasps around)
Renewable.
Sustainable.
So it's one of those rare events that lets you definitely rule out some theories and rule in others.
Excellent work.
The energy release from those few days must have been absolutely phenomenal. Literally an extinction level event for any nearby civilizations, although wheather they knew it was happening would be debatable.
and about 1/8 of Jeff Bezos net worth.
What I do hope gets funded is the "Kilopower" (the reactor formerly known as KRUSTEE) range of reactors to power ion drives and do Mars (or Moon) surface power in globs of 10Kw each.
I wonder if line item veto could be something the Tea Party could get behind?
Orlowskis right.
It's the fact they use all that content (Like the stuff I'm generating now as it happens) for free.
Yet without it what is FaceBook?
Remember the inscription of the statue that reads "For I am Ozymandias, King of Kings. See my works and tremble" and all that's left is the feet?
Would it really take that much to turn FaceBook into the new MySpace? If a provider came along and paid for content?
Who couldn't set the age restriction rules on her browser.
So she organized a debate (that was attended by about 6 other MPs)
Next thing she knows CMD appointed her as Czar for Child Sexualization & Exploitation (later renamed when it read like the title was for someone to support both subjects).
And the rest is going to be history.
BTW It was Perry who though gambling sites should to the age checking, before it turned out one had dished its whole customer list to CC fraudsters.
I see you are trying to escape would you like to
a) Stand still so I can chop you up.
b) Continue your futile attempts at escape.
