You can't retrospectively change a license in the UK. Therefore, anything installed or, for that matter, downloaded before Oracle changed the licensing terms in April 2019 is immune to their bullying. US laws don't apply in the UK.

As regards the different departments, you, as your IT admin for your department, get a stringent mandate (been there working in a UK University as an IT admin) to report on all your Java usage and remove anything before April 2019 and switch to something else if you really must continue to use Java.

This would not just be a Java thing; we have had similar mandates about VirtualBox and OracleDB, though we never used the latter in the first place. Some of the central "corporate" databases are still using Oracle, I believe, though I understand exit roots are planned, may even have been implemented by now.

Are you telling me that those 400Gbps DAC cables I have just purchased won't work because they are copper?

I would note that no products have ever been offered for sale that support 40GBase-T and given 40Gbps Ethernet is a dead end nothing ever will.

I would be surprised if anything is ever offered in 25GBase-T either as it suffers from distance limitations too. It's all DAC or optics in the data centre so there is nothing to jumpstart the market. It's a bit like 10GBase-T. I have hundreds of 10Gbps ports but they are all SFP and not a single 10GBase-T to be seen or is there ever likely to be because I would have nothing to plug it into.

The problem with football fields is, which type are you talking about? Is that Association Football fields, Rugby Football fields, American Football fields or Australian Rules Football fields?

It is a result of the hinting mechanism of TrueType fonts. Essentially, if you request Times New Roman in 12pt, the hinting mechanism adjusts the size of the letters to ensure they fit better within the pixel grid of the output device. So if you switch from a 300dpi laser to a 360dpi inkjet, then the length of your sentence in millimetres on the two different output devices is different. This causes all the paragraphs to be rewrapped, which changes the document's layout.

It's a long time since I last used Word where I moved a document between two computers with a different output device so Microsoft might well have fixed this "feature" in the interim. However historically, this was the problem.

HPV causes more than just Cervical cancer in women. To the point in the UK we are giving 12-year-old boys the HPV vaccine too, as NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) concluded that it was cost-effective to do so due to it reducing a number of other cancers.

We have already seen deaths from complications due to vaping in the UK. So it is probably less dangerous that smoking but it is absolutely not risk free.

All those are medical revolutions you twerp.

Well taking the UK as an example the survival rates for cancer are on average better. In fact all health outcomes are better on average. If you are in the top 5% of wealth in the USA then your do better than the average in the UK, but still worse than the top 5% of wealth in the UK. However you can't have single payer healthcare in the USA because it is "communist"

Here is the problem: for the vaccine to be effective, you have to give it *before* they are sexually active. So, what age are you proposing giving it to then? I would at this juncture note that under "Romeo and Juliet" laws nine states in the USA have a legal age of consent of 13, and ten states have an age of consent of 14, and in three states it is 15.

When I was growing up 12 was the age that the girls got the Rubella vaccine to prevent birth defects from German Measles in any children they had. Nobody was crowing that it promoted promiscuity in girls or any other such rubbish.

A study from last year from Scotland showed that in the cohort of girls given the vaccine aged 12-13 there have been *zero* cases of Cervical cancer. With many of these now women in the 25-35 year age range where Cervical cancer is the most common cancer among women.

Basically the problem is morons like yourself not understanding the science.

Because 0 lead, arsenic, and mercury is basically impossible to achieve, you are saying not one atom of the above is allowed to be present. I will always be able to detect any really low level of anything.

It's a bit like coal power stations release more Uranium-235 every year than the Chernobyl disaster. Even if it is only one part per billion in coal, given that we burn ~8 billion tonnes of it a year, that is one tonne going into the atmosphere every year.

Just have to say thermionic emission is a quantum effect.

Jocelyn Bell was a doctoral student at the time of her discovery. Since the start, the convention has been that students, including postgraduate students, CANNOT win a Nobel Prize. Bell was ineligible for the prize. It has nothing to do with sex or race.

And in a bunch of the countries working from home rights. The CEO simply cannot insist all works come into the office all the time unless they want to pull out of Europe.

If a radio is a piece of safety equipment then it needs to be a FM radio with Radio Data System (RDS) so you can get an alert regardless of what you are otherwise listening to. AM does not factor in whatsoever.

Though I guess they could also include a Digital Radio Mondiale tuner and maliciously comply as it would technically be an AM radio, just digital not analogue.

Typically, though, venture capital is given when the banks won't lend as it is too high a risk. I would note that in the UK, too many business failures preclude you from starting new firms.
