BBC still requires Flash on my desktop Safari. Switch the user-agent to being an iPad and presto - nice, working HTML 5 video without a single layout change either. Have sent in 'feedback' time after time after time.

Honestly, get with the times and dump Flash. Or at least service HTML 5 for preference and only fall back to Flash. Not this "let's serve Flash to HTML 5-capable browsers" rubbish.

Yep, and before Benetton it was all Toleman Motorsport. I've also toured the Jaguar F1 factory, which was Stuart, and which became Red Bull. Agree with you on Benetton - they always skirted the rules and felt sleazy to me.

How about a Red Bull one? It's nothing new.

This isn't about their current car range. Their interest would be in the McLaren design studio and engineering. Apple may or may not be interested in the supercar range, but even if they were it wouldn't be the primary driver for this kind of deal.

Galaxy S7 32Gb: £570 (~$740).

Behold, the Nokia 3650. Not strictly rotary as the dial doesn't move, but the layout is obvious. I had one of these for a while, was quite nice but too many of the applications expected a particular keyboard layout so wasn't that useful past standard functionality.

Am very, very bored of the "Look for the lowercase L" copypasta spam everywhere, or ASCII tanks or whatever the current fad will be. Being copy/paste it is surely easy to detect and autoremove. This spam posts star ratings too, which will contribute to the overall standing of the game even though it's just gibberish postings.

This doesn't look much different to business as usual to me - can't see where the outrage is coming from.

Honestly, this looks no different to Usenet kill files, which I personally have been (lightly) using for around twenty-five years. On Reddit I've also got a fairly extensive kill file-alike set up, via RES and the Alien Blue app. Really don't see the issue in them introducing this, sounds more like a nice-to-have feature that some people will use, some people won't.

Churchill's quote: "A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject."

This situation and post has literally nothing to do with Apple, yet at the time of writing there's around a third of the threads talking about Apple and some fantasy reaction they may or may not have had if faced with this circumstance. People - for gawd's sake give it a rest.

I keep reading this 'the old' stuff. Are people aware that these same 'old' will be the people who voted into it in the 1970s? And will, in fact, be the only people who have seen the evolution of the whole situation?

Dogecoin was, and is, a joke. People taking part in it know this and do it for fun - I have a handful of coins worth...err....hmm. Well, I'm sure I'll find enough decimal places somewhere.

That doesn't mean it hasn't done real things though: Josh Wise and the Dogecar being one of the more notable. It has also provided clean water in Kenya and sent the Jamaican bobsled team to the Winter Olympics (source). So yeah - it's a joke. It's a good one though, and has done some good things.

Partially agreed, but whether the game is designed to require more than 50 hours or not you personally would be able to tell whether you were enjoying it by that point. I have hundreds of Skyrim hours logged, but would have stopped playing after only a few hours if I didn't like it. Conversely I tried The Witcher (first one) recently and just didn't get alone with it at all - about two hours in total. Elite:Dangerous, a very direct comparison to No Mans Sky, I've not really got along with either despite being a massive original Elite fan and a passably high-tier Kickstarter backer of this one. I'm glad the new one exists, but it's not for me. Logged time - 9 hours.

You get the idea. The game may well require more than 50 hours, but if you're not enjoying it you'll know well before those 50 hours are played.

50 hours of gameplay is a long time. As an example, I started playing Tomb Raider (2013) a few days ago - got it in a sale literally years ago and never played, finally got round to playing it. I've completed the story, and am just going back to polish off the areas I didn't get 100% completion on. Only two of those to go, and I'm done.

I have 56 hours of gameplay logged. Just to recap - I've done damned near everything, thoroughly enjoyed myself, and have 56 hours logged. 50 gameplay hours at a game I hate? That would be insane.

My god - Veronica servers. I had completely forgotten them. WAIS also made it into academic courses and there were text/exam questions on what it was.

The reason the Greek bank thing is notable is because it's a once in a generation thing, likely longer in fact. The reason this isn't is because Bitcoin appears to be a twice weekly thing...
