Comment Re:And the opposite is happening too (Score 1) 363

The company I work for looked at all our roles, and many of us were offered the option to become remote workers full time. It appears they are looking to downsize the size and number of office buildings they have. I heard that the takeup of this offer was over 90%. Personally, I have been into the office maybe 7 days in the last 10 years. Mostly for some face to face project meetings. My general day to day work involves working with folks around the world, and never with anyone in the same country as me, never mind based out of the same office! They have done a good job so far - we had to complete some H&S training on ergonomics, and had to certify our working environment at home was suitable - if we didnt have proper chairs and desks we were able to order those and have them delivered.

In the UK we dont elect the Prime Minister. We elect local MPs who represent a party of some kind. The group of MPs with the largest party or coalition of parties become the government with one of their number being Prime Minister. If the nominal head of a political party that won the general election didnt win his seat, then a new leader would need to be found. This I suppose is why the parties put their leaders in what are considered safe seats. And the new Prime Minister most certainly was elected - he will have to be chosen from the current crop of elected MPs.

Nokia Sells Qt 193

Google85 writes "Now that Nokia has shifted to a Windows Phone-centric smartphone strategy, it's only natural for the company to divest itself of responsibility with regard to the Qt framework. It has been announced Digia will acquire the Qt commercial licensing and services business from Nokia, including the transfer of some 3,500 desktop and embedded customers actively using Qt today."

When Telemarketers Harass Telecoms Companies 234

farnz writes "Andrews & Arnold, a small telecoms company in the UK, have recently been hit with an outbreak of illegal junk calls. Unlike larger firms, they've come up with an innovative response — assign 4 million numbers to play recordings to the telemarketers, put them on the UK's Do-Not-Call list and see what happens. Thus far, the record is over 3 minutes before a telemarketer works out what's going on." The sound quality (and the satisfying humor) of the recording gets better as it goes on.
