Are they really classed as robots when there's a guy with a game controller running next to them? May as well have entered a RC dune buggy ...

I recently refurbished and donated 30 laptops to a school in the Solomon Islands - installed Edubuntu - makes them run like new. This is where Linux starts to shine on the desktop, where Windoze runs like a dog.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is called political leadership. Something sadly lacking in some politicians ...

I'd say yes to this. Dell is having trouble shipping at the moment right in the middle of our upgrade to Win 10 ...

It was much easier being on time when there were only 10 flights a day ...

It was VERY revolutionary - start of a new era ...

Vote 1 Ubuntu Studio. Works great. Rosegarden works fine with it too (not loaded by default, post-install it).

I have, and their skin is super tough. Try stitching a dog up with a needle and thread - their skin is like old boot leather.

In further news, innovative company plans to deliver the Internet via drone... Books by drone, c'mon - back, to the future!!!!

I'd believe it. I've seen some old (not ancient) charcoal drawings in a limestone cave on Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands. The drawings were mainly of head hunting boats and war axes from the Western Province (from a different area the cave is in). The cave is hidden a couple of miles inland from the coast. The scenario would likely be that the war canoes turn up, the men stay to defend and the women and children run inland to the safety of the cave, then draw what they have seen on the cave walls. My other scenario is a mother yelling "would you kids stop drawing on the cave walls!!!!". If it's like my house, that would be much more like it.

Spam in a can! I had to make that joke. This guy was a serious legend for me - it was one of those names I memorized as a space geeky ten year old in the early seventies. Vale sir.

Any light aircraft, when trimmed correctly, will continue to fly quite well if you leave it alone. Line it up on the runway (yes, it sort of steers like a car), and gently pull the power back (eyes to the end of the runway :-). With plenty of runway, it will land itself.

I got so sick of having twenty roaches scuttling for cover when I turned the kitchen light on that I just used to smack them with my hands (used to live near the ocean in Sydney - 365 day a year roaches).

Hey, - there's some cop trying to get my attention - gotta go - Sent from my iPhone

I first used VMS in Computing 122, programming in Fortran 77, at uni in 1984. Vale VMS...
