Make assistive driving safe: Eliminate pedestrians

Re: On foot, on crutches, in wheelchairs

I have to agree on keeping to the left on the pavement in the UK, I was always taught that you face the traffic coming towards you when on the pavement so you have the best chance of seeing the panicked driver coming towards you and can take evasive action, not so the person walking away from traffic (though hopefully, when seeing you dive out the way they would do the same).

So, in the UK it is always the left, when in a country that drives on the wrong side of the road, it's the right, simple really!

COVID-19 was a generational opportunity for change at work – and corporate blew it

might as well believe in Father Christmas.

Wait, what? Are you saying Father Christmas may not be real??

You walk in with a plan. You leave with GPS-tracking Nordic hiking poles. The same old story, eh?

Re: "giving the 30,000 workers £1,000 worth of shares"

Having had the err, pleasure... of working for DSG many, many years ago I very much suspect it will be between them...

Two years ago, 123-Reg and NamesCo decided to register millions of .uk domains for customers without asking them. They just got the renewal reminders...

Hmmm

I had the 'we are going to renew your domain automatically email' last week which came as a surprise as I was up to date with the 2 domains I currently had active with 123-Reg (the others had been left to expire). When I logged into the control panel to check I discovered a load of unwanted .uk domains all thankfully were set to expire (well, to not auto-renew) so thought nothing of it, however... On reading this article I have just logged in again to find my unwanted .uk domains now in my basket ready for checkout! Unfortunately, my CC is on record and I have to go via support to remove from the account so until this is done will be keeping a close eye to ensure I am not billed! Will definitely look to move my remaining domain to another provider (Mythic Beast looking best option, thanks!) but does anyone know of a cheap, reliable email host for multiple accounts under one domain (I have long thought of just hosting my own mail server but I never have the time!)?

BOFH: Elf of Safety? Orc of Admin. Pleased to meet you

Marvelous

Happy BOFH day one and all!

'Bill Gates swallowing bike on a beach' is ideal password say boffins

Re: Interresting but...

I am exactly the same, passwords (and phone numbers) just seem to stick when they feel right, I still remember passwords for now long defunct systems that will never again be needed, peoples names however I forget instantly....
