...will be in the bill? Politicians have a habit of rolling lots of things into one in bills, and you can only get all or nothing. This suggestion (seems to) make sense, so there must be something else in the plan that they are hoping to get through on the back of it.
Or am I just too cynical?

A few years back I had some VM systems that would totally freeze for n*60s (highest n I saw was 15). When it unfroze the system clock was n*60s slow - so it had been a total freeze.
I never did get any explanation.
Those VM systems never did any useful work.
VM systems have their place, but running such services is probably not it, for me.

The forbidder can always return a page to explain why the status code has been set. But it's up to the browser whether it displays it, or whether it just display a standard error page. e.g., IIRC IE6 would only display the returned info it if it was over 256(?) bytes in length.

They do in the UK.

Additional cost ~£2,000.
1 year saving (fuel and Road Fund Licence) ~£650.

ROI - ~33%.

Surely the use of anything affects the bairn? It's called your environment. At the age of a few hours I couldn't see or hear very well (and couldn't remember anything for very long, so those are assumptions). But my brain locked in to my environment and made sense of it. Why would it be surprising to anyone to think that it continues to do so, albeit at a less profound rate? There are people who reckon they are useless at adding up. They can, however, multiple any 3 numbers from 1 to 20 by 1, 2 or 3, add them up and subtract the total from another number. They play darts. Their environment changed their brain to perform a function.

You are not listening.
On Windows the timezone is listed as GMT+0 (as it is listed as GMT-5 for the New York).
Neither is correct. Hence my comment.

But not on Windows. vide ultra

It always exists - it's just not active. There is a difference. "Wed Oct 19 23:26:25 BST 2011" is still valid, even when you read it on Christmas Day.

That's the point - MS Windows refers to the timezone as GMT - which it is not. GMT is always GMT. Europe/London (or GB) is BST in the summer (or, since this is the UK, the "summer months").
You, like MS, don't seem able to make the distinction.

>> "...computers would display Greenwich Mean Time,"
My Windows systems already half do this. They get the time correct on Daylight Savings time, but insist on calling it GMT, which it isn't.

I can't stand icons either. I can read, and a name means something specific.
Mind you - I also have all of my desktop items (there are only a few - as I use the Start menu for occasional things) rolled into a menu on the toolbar (right next to the Start menu), as I have application windows covering the desktop (not full-screen either - another abomination), and so it's a most unhelpful place to put anything I might want to use.
I suppose that ability will have gone too?

I won't, as it obviously isn't.
You could get that by putting a thin, flat connector on the device and supplying a very short cable connecting that to a 3.5mm jack (socket) into which you could plug any existing 3.5mm plug.
Mind you that "thin, flat connector" could be what this patent is, except that Apple won't supply it and will expect some vast royalty if anyone tries to make one. Probably.

But what if it's just the Aliens in those galaxies producing the stuff?

In other words, a lot of Western Europeans who buy a TV with 3D capability don't even bother to buy the glasses to use that feature.'"

The sets I've seen come with glasses (usually 2 pairs) so you don't need to buy them separately to get the effect.

I hope you're not attributing effect to cause there. For a start, it's very difficult to buy PC hardware without a Microsoft OS already on it, since MS is free to bribe hardware suppliers. Many of that 90% of corporations will also be using MacOS X, Solaris, Linux as well.

Well, I'd argue that the Developer should be the person who supports production *as well*.

• No hand-over procedures
• An incentive to get it right, and produce a self-maintaining system since you are responsible for the live version and really want it to look after itself so you can get on with *new* things.

But this is a view not approved of by people who reckon that documenting a procedure is the best way to make it work and who seem to be happy for the internalized knowledge gained during development to never reach the production environment. The result is lots of procedure and less actual results.

Irrelevant for SDXC, though. I can't see that seeking.

UDF does. But MS only allows that on an optical drive. (Format a hard-drive with UDF and XP is flummoxed). MS == no imagination.
