what matters is that they do not change -- so people know what the name refers to. So what it if is named after some pompous old git or beautiful lady ?

What next: how about food, should we rename the Peach Melba, the Sandwich or Garibaldi biscuit ? Then start on drinks Earl Grey tea, Tom Collins or Incredible Hulk!

Have some people not got better things to do ?

to go and have a piss and make a cup of tea that will make me want to go again 1 hour later.

Disclaimer: I do not have amazon prime, indeed I buy nothing from them.

In November The UK Supreme Court has blocked a planned £3.2 billion ($4.3 billion) British class action against Google. This is presumably google saying "thank you" and "please kill any future court cases". A good return on google's money.

Thought — ie past tense, like IBM's glory days.

Those people are somebody else - not me. I consume what I do because I need to, I drop litter because I am too busy to pick it up; it is only little old me, what I do is miniscule and will not affect the planet -- it is the huge number of others that are responsible.

The above is unfortunately how many see things - it is not their responsibility; why should they behave better when others do not. Complete lunacy but the sort of thing that I hear enough from not just ordinary individuals but politicians who ought to know better. These creeps pollute our world for their benefit.

I praise those who try hard to protect the planet knowing that what they do will have little effect - but that millions like them can change the world.

Via a high resolution printer maybe. That might pass casual inspection. Examine that closely and the dots probably become visible. What the print process will not generate is the indent in the paper that the pressure of a pen leaves.

would he not do better going to live concerts and paying for the best seats in the house ?

How many people need many high quality photo prints ? For most of us, most of the time a laser is good enough; for the odd occasion that you need high quality pop down to your local shop that has a machine to print them.

Deloitte employees or the Deloitte customers who are going to have to waste time dealing with the mess that the AI generates ?

That we now know that Neptune is less depressed than we thought he was.

I live in the UK, I do not have a TV license as I do not watch it neither broadcast nor over the Internet. They send me a letter once a month with blood curdling threats about what they are going to do to me all over the envelope; inside, on the second page, a mention that I do not need a license if I do not watch it. They know that I do not watch TV - I told the man who came to visit some 4 years ago. I find what they are doing threatening, if I were to do the same to someone who used to be a customer I suspect that I would be visited by the police.

It must be costing them to continue this assault on me. I see no reason why I should waste my time to contact them to say that I do not need a license -- anyway: they would only start hassling me again in a couple of years.

Try watching the BBC this story was reported here as it was unfolding.

When he talked about Disaster Area "the musicians themselves played their instruments by remote control from within a heavily insulated spaceship which stayed in orbit around the planet"

I have some old bits of kit that I use, I do not want to have to chuck them out because they will not work with new access points, etc.

Could be useful on a ship in heavy seas - keep the displayed text horizontal as the ship rolls. Just need a /dev/plumbline or something.
