"And that low funding is why Russians are mainly still firing up rockets designed between 1960-1980 and hardly managed to build any new hardware"
Like Soyuz, that is used to carry US and other nations astronauts to the ISS

Appollo 11 Launch in slow mo 30 seconds over 8 mins of liftoff
amazing to see what happens on the pad.

if you have time check out an overview of the sr71 engine

both simply fascinating.
“
It would depend on circumstances. Possibly she wasn't engaged for the period that required a stand-in.”
On the show called Lorraine!!!
ITV created a show based on her and have her working on it yet she’s not employed by them. That’s very fishy.
The sooner the correct tax is paid and these scams end the better.
When’s os11 out?
I remember the hype around new versions and being royally disappointed that things didn’t work properly, where bumped or needed new hardware.
10 has had a long life, we need 11, maybe should have arrived at the turn off if 32 but with Catalina.
By the way Catalina has been far more stable for me than 10.14.
There are some low power high frequency bands which will mainly be point to point from lamp posts to houses etc. The bands for use for phones is much lower frequency and in the ranges already used for 3G & 4g

Lots of people have lots of data on the socials that they assumed was fine and safe in their small social network. If they knew governments where watching or could look through in the future then a fair number wouldn’t bother posting stuff in the first place. An even larger number wouldn’t be bothered if those outside of their circles read and judged them.
Facebook have made a huge point recently on privacy, I’d be really pissed if a government trawled through what I thought was private looking to incriminate. Would only be fair for them to set a start date so we could clean up or delete our profiles and play by the rules.
I’ve always used Social media with the mindset my mum would read all I post, you can never say that for some people you may be associated with.
Very murky situation if the carry this through.
They’ll mandate we have some kind of audio monitoring device in our homes next.
so things are changed and there are more hurdles to over come?
I work with a large number of talented engineers who's country of origin is way outside of the EU but they haven't had much issue working here or throughout the EU. How is it they can do that in large numbers while there is such project fear about UK nationals being able to work in the EU post Brexit. It won't be UK rules and regulations stopping that, it'll be EU rules and regulations providing barriers to UK nationals, the same EU that permits these talented engineers from outside the EU from working in the EU, i don't see why the EU will intentionally block UK nationals from doing the same with no good reason. Or are you suggesting the EU will deliberately block UK nationals?
A lot of connectivity issues are up stream from your access line to the pop. If you are with el cheapo isp (like Talk Talk or previously Virgin) then its more likely you will have your streams cutting out as they don't pay for good peering with major providers or are over subscribed in their peering.
All networks have contention, bigger providers often pay for more higher bandwidth uplinks from exchanges and peering to others at places like LINX and other peering places so you see less buffering overall. Your 1gb/s provider is either not busy or currently has adequate peering.
I've had this problem too despite having a male dog who's mates also come and pee in our garden. The foxes have been living & breeding in next doors garden coming and going via our garden. Too many next door now so they've been trying to dig homes in our garden.
you have to do multiple things at the same, i started with solar charged flash and ultrasonics which failed quickly, solar charged flashing red lights, then other solar garden lights, then pir solar lights, then wind spinners, then solar garden flowers, fence spikes, then Scoot diluted in a 10l water sprayer, hand pumped so sprays almost a mist for good coverage. Then make your garden ingress fox proof. Amazon has a great selection of the above deterrents.
The thing that worked the best though was Scoot diluted in the spray pump. really stopped the fouling and the spraying they where doing. The worst thing is waking in the morning and smelling fox wee and seeing fouling on your doorstep, then having the same when you come home after work.
You don’t appear to realise that the pilots followed the correct procedures in both cases. The second case they followed the revised procedures, found the issue with the rear flap not moving due to air flow being too strong for the jack screw so turned mcas back on in the hope it would help power the flap back up.
Let’s put you in an older 737, let you fly continuously for 5 years, then shove you in a max, let you fly safely for many months and then suddenly throw you in a few stall warning situations, then some months after that throw you in an mcas bad situation just 5kft above the ground and see if you land safely. Hind sight gives you an edge, but if you’ve never experienced anything remotely like it then most people would fail badly or misinterpret the situation as something else, especially when you know your just seconds from disaster.
Blaming the pilots is not justified here. Blaming Boeing and the regulator is.
those drives (SSD or HDD) tend to fail after a while. is the extra £40 worth peace of mind that your data is safer or would you rather buy a 2 bay nas mirroring your 2tb disk and hope that after a few years you've evened the cost of cloud storage?
Stupid interpretation of the rules here.
If EE wanted to notify its customers that they've come to the end of their plan and can save significant sums by changing to another plan or trade in their old phone for a new one they legally can't now if they've opted out.
This is just stupid shortsightedness. I agree they shouldn't just bombard with marketing but warning customers they can save money if they downloaded an app and managed their account online is surely a positive.
"What was really needed was regulations to make it hard to accidentally stumble upon porn, and that is search engine regulation."
i think we need some kind of website resolution regulation, not search engine regulation.
everyone uses dns to resolve the web address, if users where pointed at age appropriate DNS then they would never see bad websites and the problem would be largely avoided.
in fact just make sure kids are always supervised when online and these and other problems go away.
"I apologise to them all for the fact that a mistake has been made which means these measures will not be brought into force as soon as they and I would like."
If we had left the EU in March then the EU would not have needed to be informed, the mistake is surely believing that when TM repeatedly said over 100 times we'd be leaving in March 2019, we'd actually be leaving. Shame on the DCMS to believe government statements on future arrangements. The departments last paragraph looks like a mistake too.
if i'd have sussed the issue quickly i think i'd have let them know as Harry did and then let them run round in circles and then gone for a walk through late in the day and let them know it was what i said at the start of the day and if they still didn't get it explain in very clear simple terms that the spell checker is making the squiggly lines and explain how to turn it off. Hopefully they'd get the point and not ask stupid questions again in the future.
Was it not Lesjak’s job to do the due diligence and discover the alleged accountancy discrepancy before the HP board agreed to hand over the cheque? It was absolutely her job to make noises if things where not right, after all her role was to ensure share holder value and that was definitely under risk. Should she not be accountable too for this debacle.
“Aircraft type is irrelevant”
Some aircraft are only certified with specific systems and it may be just those specific systems that are impacted. A 741 through 744 May not be impacted or an a380 might be ok where a 737 or a320 is due to the vendor or generation of certified kit onboard.
installing fibre to hundreds of thousands of 5g cells is not the same issue as installing fibre to millions of homes for which not everyone is in at the same time.
Installing fibre anywhere is not a problem, it costs money and time but always achievable.You could put fibre in the middle of the m25 if you wanted too, it'd annoy everyone, require some top rate negotiation with interested parties & be very expensive but totally do able.
I don't understand why people keep moaning that 5G cells require backhaul, not all of them will some will use radio back haul and some copper. Its totally cost effective and the telco's see it as cheaper than installing fibre to every household for consumers to then hang their own wifi off it.
the future will be 5G connected kit that you associate to your own profile that will connect without the need for you to have your own network at home. You need to think outside the current way of doing this.
"Or is this just an example of how toxic it is at the top, and dumb-arsed decisions are made and followed through based on saving face and massaging egos?
it would explain a lot, and not just at HP."
Classic example is the Labour party, the millionaire leaders (Emily Thornberry aka Lady Nugee & Jeremy pensioner Corbyn on receiving his state pension plus his generous leader of the opposition salary totalling £137k springs to mind), the racism, double standards, party in a party, sympathising with terrorists etc and then turning down attending a state banquet for a visit by an arch ally here to commemorate the 75th d-day anniversary (i see his point but if he can celebrate with terrorists he can attend a state banquet).
If I posted a link every month or so it’d be vastly more usage than my actual social media accounts that I don’t use.
I’m sure they’d work out your real accounts from any email addresses or phone numbers you provide them anyway, even your address is likely enough for them to know your accounts. Adding it to a form is likely a way for them to tell if your lying or not.
Far easier to assume they know everything as the US tech companies have to comply with us law regardless of jurisdiction, just as the us are accusing Huawei of except us companies are under continuous compliance.
"You can't break encryption "a little bit". You break it or you don't."
They are not breaking encryption. Messages will still be encrypted end to end, just the security services will be one of those ends, the ghost bit, and will see all your messages too. Whats app etc will still be blind to your messages, the authorities won't.
remote access but not able to map a drive or send a copy of the cd rom as an iso?
seems the IT company missed a trick there and could have saved a bucket in travel costs to do effectively the same job in a fraction of the time.
fair enough if the server needed to boot with the cd rom to complete an install but it sounds like the server had an OS and just needed some additional software install.
