No they just have to clean up various bodily fluids and watch people suffer and die. Nurses deserve to be treated well.
Only in the consumer world. In the far more lucrative corporate world no-one's going to be writing 500 page documents or huge spreadsheets on an iPad.
Presumably this will coexist with HTTP/1.1 but yes I can see a lot of Javascript rewriting in my future.
Except the site in question's been up for years and working fine. It had a bit of trouble yesterday due to excess traffic but now it's fine again. This happens in the commercial world too.
This boils down to you clinging to a system that few people understand anymore because you're comfortable with it. Fine with me but most people under 60 won't know what you're on about when you tell them it's 72 degrees outside.

They were lucky. They could have diode.
What the fuck are you talking about? Our system has six major players and is still shit with double digit price increases every year and poor customer service. It's like a government utility except any profits made leave the country.
Cheaper relative to economies that are serious about tackling pollution problems perhaps but when bills go up by 15% a year and profits rocket for you to then say that there is no gouging going on is naive to say the least. I'm also not keen on subsidising French and German energy customers either. Any profits gained from a system that was paid for by British taxpayers should be used for the benefit of British taxpayers.
They are regulated heavily because when they were first privatised they hiked prices enormously and the government of the time had to take action to stop them screwing their captive market.
Pre-privatisation they didn't charge VAT on fuel or for environmental and social obligations and the network was also owned by the state rather than by the Germans so you can remove all those from your calculation. What costs were hidden and subsidised? From what I remember the utilities made quite a lot of money for the state and should not have been sold off at all, or at least for a great deal more money than they were.
