Chances are GP is not seeing a difference because something is doing a good job of up-scaling, so *everything* is in 1080.....

I read that the issue was actually with battery size/life.... Rather than having the displays.

Smaller form factor brings a smaller volume to fit the battery in. Retina needs a *much* bigger battery, so you either drop the run time, or the display. Apple wanted a consistent run time across tablets.....

I commute 300 miles a week, how do I get home on Wednesday!

hehe

Have a look at DARCS ;)

It's also amazing how long it often takes before the phrase "I'd look at the logs" come out, or something like it.

You were sacked because a test system died? I think you had more issues that you imagine.

LOL, I was being just a touch facetious. But to be fair to the ISPs, they have said they wont do anything without a court order, which does become a little closer to "police-state".

Which part of the "Hopefully before Christmas....Quicker than before" makes you think we need to get VPNs up *quickly*?

Welcome to the UK, where your Police State moves that slowly it never catches up to you!

No. The funding came *after* the inital breakthrough which was pure basic science.

People looked at what Bhor had shown, and what Enstein had shown and said, if we put money into this we can make power, or bombs.

Without the pure basic research that came before it, we'd have nothing.

Promptly? Since when do we deport people promptly?

"they are arrested for attempting to setup a joke and eventually deported" would work...

'but it requires massive amounts of deliberate engineering across an entire civilization.'

And a Dyson Sphere doesn't?

What percent of rape is actually reported? That's a valid, well known unknown. It can be guessed at, but that's about it.

I wouldn't assume that. I'd assume the reader is young enough that they don't realise that those things didn't exist when the book was written.

Sci-Fi that's good enough that when the science catches it up, it looks just like fiction. Now that's a skillful writer!

"We need all your servers. Can we have the keys to your datacenter so that we can lock you out, it's far easier than actually removing the srevers?...."

I just tried this and it's amazing! Thanks!
