Like they recently did in China (reading theReg's news today), they could send an AI virtual bot instead of these nincumpoops of politicians who don't even seem to have a GCSE in anything, let alone Geography, to let them do all the talking.
Even my Alexa Echo could do better. She sings ring ring a roses really well!!
If anyone can be bothered to read all the documentation just recently published here:
https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/how-to-prepare-if-the-uk-leaves-the-eu-with-no-deal
you'll notice that every single page starts with:
"A scenario in which the UK leaves the EU without agreement (a ‘no deal’ scenario) remains unlikely given the mutual interests of the UK and the EU in securing a negotiated outcome.
Negotiations are progressing well and both we and the EU continue to work hard to seek a positive deal. "
Going well, going wrong, going disaster???
You brexiteers that voted for this, you can relish in old episodes of Blakes' Seven and Doctor Who because that's about as close as UK is going to anything intergalactically spatial get if the gov doesn't get its head out of its arse and start dealing with this mistake of exiting the EU.
"After much head scratching and blaming NoMachine, it turned out that a new (or newly enabled-by-default) Connected Devices Platform Service was now hogging the port that NoMachine uses. Thanks Microsoft."
Microsoft does that on purpose when they see that a great software is doing something better than theirs.
Given the majority who voted for Brexshit are those clueless members of society that don't know how to read and are easily goaded into acting irresponsibly because they aren't even capable of thinking before mouthing of a load of nonsense from the sewers they have for mouths, civil unrest could well be likely.
It's time to start shitting bricks.
What happened to the days of terminal services, whether MS, Linux or other? Soon companies will be wanting to take back control completely and everyone will be dusting off the cobwebs from their mega servers they always meant to get rid of but actually got shoved in a room somewhere
As per title.
Dear Companies who think they are amazing,
When you have someone presenting a product or representing your company, make sure they actually know what the product is, does, state it's in, when it's going to be released. Don't put someone who uhms and ahs throughout the whole interview.
This was like watching the recent Mexico Germany world-cup match. El Reg is wearing the sombrero and is prepared for everything, and Mikey thinks he's smart, but sadly he isn't.
That his wife was having an affair is besides the point. If he officially, and with authorization, took leave for medical reasons, being fired 3 weeks later is not justifiable.
But the cynical side of me can't but think that the plaintiff is suing Oracle to pay for his wife's alimony payments.
The state of the toilets is not an indication necessarily that people don't belong to the rest of us civilised peeps, but rather the company they work for is shit and treats them like shit. Hence, employees give back what they get.
"At this point, I frantically press at FF multiple times to get to track 10. Or is it 9? Silly me, I know the song names and their sequence but never got around to memorising their individual track number. Damn, some idiot added some “rare bootlegs” in the middle so I have to keep pressing and now I’ve gone past the end and find myself back at track 1 again."
What? Do you mean your CD player isn't intelligent enough to know what you want just from you pressing the buttons?
Concerning the hitting of targets which keeps circulating all the papers, has anyone actually paid thought to the fact that to be able to hit those targets, you need to have the numbers of (illegal?) immigrants.
So, that means the H.O knows how many (illegal) immigrants it has actually allowed to enter the country. Or is that number reached because you just happen to throw in some innocent citizens who you know will have lost their paperwork from eons before?
What a joke.
"like the crumbly bleached dog turds you’d see decorating every pavement curb corner. " - do these still sit on curbs or have dogs moved on as well and become cultural start-up freaks?!
Geez, even shit moves on in the world!
And what has become of the English language - it too evolves itself sprouting unusual innuendos. What do we expect as we all sit here, young and old, choosing emojis instead of writing "hey that's shit".
Tomorrow's security question should definitely not be about your past, your habits, your family or your hobbies. So no memorable information.
I too have to write down 150 plus account details, and then keep them on paper in case my computer is stolen where I have stored my passwords. What about if they steal my piece of paper? So I have to have several copies, hidden, just in case. Copies of copies of copies.
A total 'MARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Milton I know it's Friday, and it's also the 13th (oh no....twilight zone music can be heard in the background), but a Natuzzi sofa with sensors that puts the lights on and activates the TV would mean that when I get home, I don't have to do anything except head towards the sofa, in the dark mind you, and just throw myself on it. Fantastic!!!! And now I'm rubbing my bloody big toe that I stubbed on the stupid Calligaris table that stands stupidly just next to the stupid Natuzzi sofa.
"There is simply no way to have an effective immigration control system in a country without a mandatory identity system.
You see a guy in the street. How can you enforce an identity check on him as an immigrant in a country where identity is not mandatory even for driving licenses while driving?"
Someone finally talking sense. .
.and who said you can't have a system without knowing what's going to happen regarding Brexit? With or without Brexi, it's called planning, and doing things in modules.
I'm not convinced that Accenture will do that much better than what IBM (?) tried to do back then.
