Had my notification of shipping last week - hoping will be here soon.

If you have the DK1 and want something new to try with it, and have the $$ - this is the daddy of FPV remote controlled fun - I've been loving it for a good long while now. : http://emrlabs.com/index.php?p...

But in addition to word-processing, spreadsheets and presentations, my office also requires email.

It's long overdue somebody steps up to this challenge.

PS - Lakeland. You write really well. Nicely.

Aye. Mate. I agree with you on the possibilities. But to quote ICE T : “Shit aint like that!”

That’s coming from a small IT business ~ 1.5m$/yr.

We still have (major global) clients insisting on either fax or paper invoicing. Often the remittance is an amalgamation of several of our invoices and often the reference is ‘theirs’ not ‘ours’

In a truly wired system none of this should be a factor, but right now, right here. It very much is. I find myself knocking on the portcullis of big business daily. It’s. Just. Not. Budging.

I can import my statements directly into my accounting software, I can set regex rules and I could automate the bollocks off the whole thing. The people who pay me do not play ball. Shit, I Still receive cheques for fucks sake.





The machine will need operators for decades to come.

Have you *ANY* idea what you are talking about ?

At this stage computers can replace *some* functions of an accountant - and basically make submitting your accounts to the accountant less painful - but a good accountant works with YOU and with the SYSTEM. Computers / accountancy software simply cannot do that at this stage.

Bookeepers. How the FUCK do you think computers are replacing them ? Are computers opening the post for remittance advice, chasing short payments, chasing overpayments. Are they reconciling the ledger? Are they writing off stock, invoices and lost items ? Are they collating expenses receipts and chasing staff for proofs?

No mate, they aren't.

I hire accountants but I EMPLOY bookkeepers.

I'd like that ! :)

Sadly I only have a .177 air rifle ...

We'll give you SPACESHIPS if you stay! (promise)

Tell you what mate, good luck with your punch and hammer technique.

I very regularly need to physically destroy hard disks, and depending on the vendor, it's actually rather tough - especially 15K SCSI jobbies which, due to the rotational speed require very sturdy housings.

Couple of weeks ago I had to wreck 3 dozen old worthless drives - even with running water to keep the bit cool, I still went through 4 tungsten bits.

Software cannot currently exist in or directly access Layer 8.

Our governments are addressing this and within the decade 'AV Firms' will once again have full access to all IO and static data within layer 8 of the OSI model.

I have been reliably informed that these measures will reduce crime and increase community compliance and by bringing calm to all who have the Thought Process Modification (TPM) chip installed.

Great post. No mod points do I'll join in even if OT. There is a fad on cooking everything a little as possible (because that's how it should be done!) Bollocks. You like what you like.

I like my red meat pink in the middle, not bloody with a crisp dark and in places caramelised exterior.

I like my turkey dry, but with plenty of gravy / juices. I like my chicken crisp but juicy

I like things how I like them, I was recently refused a kangaroo steak well done, and even after my instance they served it blue. Who the fuck are they to tell me how I like kangaroo?

I have had similar with game food, in England we don't worry too much about the rabbit summer season, but it's a massive US urban myth (citation?) so even serving local rabbit to dinner guests get a funny look - even though it has been fried and or (often stewed FFS)



Bottom line; don't fucking tell me how I like to eat my meat. I don't care if it's fillet, skirt or shin - cooked properly (in any preference) it's good for you and it tastes great. Just don't try and grill me a shin and tell me it's a sirloin.

You guys should really learn how to vote for 'none Of The Above'

^ ffs I should think before I post sometimes. Sorry. Move along.

My thinking was that perhaps they didn't have all the keys they required for current certificates, but now after a bit more... persuasion / data collection they have and so having people renew their certs would mean they have renewed access... Easier to dish out known keys than try and retrieve unknown keys.

How do I become a trusted root certificate authority ?

YES! That's the whole point of this isn't it?

To get everyone to get new certificates so that NSA and GCHQ (etc) has an easy and seamless MITM



Back of the net.
