Brits are falling out of love with posting every thought online

Re: Methodology?

Letters to the Daily Mail, written in crayon?

Re: Agreed! Have an upvote...

I would be a misanthrope - if I thought of other people at all

In internet meme - HateBook Stalk You (sorry!)

Of course, the human condition

Methodology?

So how did they canvas the opinions of 85 year olds who don't do internet?

In other news, our phone polling of people with a landline who pickup calls from unknown numbers on a Thursday afternoon suggests a 100% victory for Thora Hird in the next election

Interesting plan, but what if your favorite enemy refuses to let you follow them? Do they remain an enemy?

If they do agree to your humble hatred request does that then make them less of an enemy?

But there is always the bright apark of youthful carefree optimism that is the reg's comment section

White House seeks deep NASA cuts as Artemis II breaks spaceflight record

>Most buyers for those funds are foreign countries

50% of American debt is owned by US citizens, 25% by the US government and just under 25% by foreign investors.

Re: Is space exploration really necessary?

But it doesn't say anything about any other planets.

That's why we've abandoned plans for Mars, it isn't in the book and so doesn't exist

Well he's not wrong. There is an infinite amount of money available - all backed by our eternal and unwavering full faith in the US government

Re: $1.5 trln for the military

>A better use of that money would be on universal health care and increased spending on education.

But the military get universal health care and education and free housing and free food, it's the American dream.

<sings>Then raise the scarlet baseball cap high. Within its shade we'll live and die,

Re: Distance Record

And it isn't. It's the furthest away, but the Russians that spent 18months on MIR went a lot further - admittedly they were doing the space equivalent of laps of the parking lot, but they did a lot of miles.

Re: $1.5 trln for the military

So that's why they did it from Alabama, Houston and Florida

Re: Get Trump to declare war against the clangers

The Clangers are safe, they have a tactical Soup Dragon that can be deployed against any attackers

Stack Overflow abandons redesign after loyalists criticize it

Nostalgia

Remember the good old days of Professional Software Engineering, when we cut and pasted from SO rather than relying on this AI slop

Artemis II snaps eclipse, Earthset shots on first crewed lunar flyby since Apollo

Re: Eclipse

But now we have evidence that the moon is round

Only 28% of AI infrastructure projects fully pay off, survey finds

Re: 28%?

Unencumbered by vibe coding, a system given the herculean task of paying 1M federal workers in a single federal government in a single country is now nearly $6Bn over budget and so far behind schedule that it is now paying the descendent of people it was supposed to pay.

28%?

So that's way higher than non-AI IT infrastructure projects paying off

Shots fired – literally – over proposal to build datacenter in Indianapolis

Yes but you can already scare people away from allowing nuclear powerstations by saying nuclear

The only way to scare people away from local data centers is by confusing them about internal water flow and water usage

But if you don't vote for the criminal the wrong criminal will get in

But looking on the bright side, a few guillotinings, a brief experiment with democracy, a reign of terror, a futile land war in Asia and in a 100 years you achieve the croissant

Re: Shots fired … into the front door of a councilor

In the USA shooting is protected free speech, it's just their way of communicating.

Rather like my dog barking excitedly at every leaf

Re: "Shots fired"

One bullet - one vote

Since the Supreme Court ruled that guns were people, automatic weapons do enjoy an electoral advantage

Re: Pre-emptive self defence?

This is deeply un-American. The 8year old should have been playing outside with his own assault rifle, not some peaceful hippy foreign Lego

AI agents found vulns in this popular Linux and Unix print server

Re: "This" has always been my issue with CUPS on Linux...

No but it's a big and complex system that has lots of networking, remote execution and low level driver access, is ubiquitous and has been 'in the wild' for decades which means it has to be a prime source of unknown exploits

Just size on disk isnt the main concern if you're managing a secure environment

Re: Oh no!

Fake news, there is nothing 'popular' about anything to do with printers

Patch to end i486 support hits Linux kernel merge queue

I miss numbers

When you knew a 486 was better than a 486SX and 50MHz was better than. 33MHz

Now, at least at the low end, it's a bunch of monkeys/marketing exes pulling words out of a bag.

Re: Degeneration

Given the rather precarious state of the Russian economy I thought the auto-correct was amusing

Re: Wouldn't matter who it was

The API has determined that North Wales does not show a path to profitability and so has been cancelled.

The area will be turned over to sheep

>MI5 explain why they draw their salary and presumably still look at themselves in the mirror?

Well being paid in USD is so much better than being paid in Rubbles

Trump wants to take a battle axe to CISA again and slash $707M from budget

Continuing President Bush's war on tourism ?

Re: Losing the Cyberwar ?

Probably a result of the marketing department finally discovering fire and testing if the customer wanted it to be fitted nasally

Re: Losing the Cyberwar ?

I see it as the USA finally maturing.

It was terribly unfair that they had a military that could beat up any other military, especially when they only used it on goat farmers. Now they have decided to level the playing field and allow an Iranian/Russian/Belgian teenager to engage on equal terms with a $20Bn aircraft carrier

Well done chaps, we'll have you playing cricket and applauding the loser at Wimbledon soon

>claim that orange yutz isn't a Russian operative

People are just debating if he knows he is

Even Microsoft knows Copilot shouldn't be trusted with anything important

A cunning plan

1, Microsoft value down 35% because market worried about $15Bn investment in OpenAI

2, Microsoft announce that AI is useless

3, Profit

The Windows license does say it's not to be used for Nuclear power stations etc etc

The company's biggest security hole lived in the breakroom

Re: it could have been worse ...

Aah, so you're a waffle man

Re: I dont doubt the story...

The in-flight video of them having to enter a pin to unlock the flight iPad was interesting.

Hope they haven't set an SMS for the 2FA

Re: Not just an issue for secure networks...

>I retired from the EECS department of a large university that had a football team, a law school ..... thermonuclear weapons

Rather negating the requirement to have a football team .... or indeed a law school

Re: Internet of Crap

To be fair, the location of an 50,000 ton aircraft carrier is easily detectable by anyone with the necessary clout to tactically inconvenience one.

It's like claiming that Goodies episode revealed the location of the secret Post Office Tower to the USSR

Re: Coffee machine. Check... IPad... Check

At least with the tea lady and her trolley there were no leaks.

She only spoke Russian anyway

AI server farms heat up the neighborhood for miles around, paper finds

Surprise! Big Tech has been a bit rubbish at enforcing Australia’s kids social media ban

Re: The real danger

The USA team is fielding the traditional 4:4:2 formation with 100 ICE agents blocking the goal

Re: The real danger

Certainly the only side that will be armed on the field

Starlink sprays debris into orbit following another satellite 'anomaly'

Re: no new risk to the International Space Station nor the upcoming Artemis II launch

>and it is going to be travelling at quite a velocity coming back from the moon flyby.

But unless it's going to sit in LEO orbit for some reason (FAA landing paperwork ?) that means it's going to zoom straight through the 'zone of clenching' in a short time

Re: So it exploded?

Cos it wasn't an explosion.

An explosion is a detonation with a combustion shock in excess of the speed of sound in the medium

The speed of sound in the very sparse atmosphere at 500km up is very very high, perhaps 100x the orbital velocity

If you want to get all precise about it.

Don't open that WhatsApp message, Microsoft warns

Not a problem

Surely an advanced professional operating system wouldn't allow a user to overwrite system files without providing the system manager's credentials ?
