Nuclear is clean and efficient. Should have been adopted globally decades ago.

Hey, if that is what you want, so be it, but, just as with the Simpsons, King of The Hill...I got bored with them after a couple seasons.

The ONLY encrypted traffic should be "undercover" officer types transmissions. Over 20 years ago, our radios went from VHF to UHF and also had encryption. Our sheriff at the time said other than drug officers or undercover officers, he would FIRE any "regular" deputy if they used the encryption. When asked why by the media he said..."the public has the right to know what we are doing.".

Just another "do-dad" to increase the price of the vehicle, not to mention added REPAIR COSTS!

AKA - likely propaganda or curated demographic.
People in the UK know YouGov is not a trusted source.

Thanks for your time
A.Person , shat out the failing UK games industry.

Don't forget technical debt. Those excel spreadsheets and what not work fine for a while. When a version of excel makes some change, or deprecates part of the code used, or someone wants to put it in a proper system where the data isn't siloed, all hell breaks loose. And seeing as there are lots of these things around in an average enterprise, it can get to be a real headache.

You've pretty much just described a light form of RAD tools, giving that level of detail. And they've been translating logic to code since the '90s.

these treacherous profiteering companies will be broken up, and their execs will go to jail, IG Farben-stylee. Personally, I can't wait for Zuck to go cool off in the slammer.

I swear to God, if I ever meet someone in the flesh who tells me something or someone has been slammed, blasted, destroyed, torched, trashed or grilled, I'm gonna punch them in the face.

It's impossible to read any headline without those toddler English-level verbs used and abuse all the fucking time these days. It's really annoying!

There are some attempts. Actually, there are many. Some are moderately successful (notably OVHCloud and ScaleWay) but most are amateurish at best. I think the trouble here is that the existing megascalers (Google, MicroSoft, Amazon) originated from companies that revolved about software development. For some reason, European cloud attempts are run by traditional hosting companies. They lack the software engineering culture/skills/vision required to develop well integrated and automated solutions; they approach the problem from an traditional operations-perspective, focusing on offering hosted existing services instead of the fully integrated whole that a cloud should be.

It's probably quite difficult to make the paradigm shift from a hosting company with a bit more automation to the software development company that's capable of achieving the level of integration and automation we'd expect from a cloud provider. At the same time, those half-assed cloud providers make it difficult for a more innovative software-development-driven company to enter the market. Likely, only Big Tech companies can break through this. And the thing is: Europe simply doesn't have any of them.

Due to this combination, Europe is stuck in a local minimum it will likely never escape from.

The same as it is with a lot of the U.S. force. Under the treaty or agreements that the U.S. & Russia (soviet union) signed a long time ago, the bombers had to be parked in plain site that can be monitored by satellites. The way these all didn't explode means they were dry, or "boneyard" aircraft.

I haven't driven an automatic since 1983. Every vehicle I've own has been a manual. Still driving a 2011 Mustang with a manual. My employer even supplies me with a work vehicle and I pushed to have a manual transmission. In the winter, "sticks" are better because you can start out in 2nd gear and not spin the tires as much, and you can downshift.

Well, under some conditions an unique movie car *would* be copyrightable. The case where the car is effectively a character is just one of the ways you can argue a car to be copyrightable.

Copyright is supposed to protect original creative expression, not ideas or functional items, which may be protected by *other* forms of intellectual property like trademark or patents. This is because copyright protects *creative expression*. It doesn't protect ideas, or functional items. A car is a functional item, so *normally* it isn't protected. But to the degree a car in your movie has unique expressive elements that are distinct from its function, those elements can be copyrighted.

But the plaintiff still wanted to claim that he owned the design of the car, so his lawyer looked for a precedent that established that cars can sometimes be copyrighted even though they are functional items, and he found the Batmobile case, where the Batmobile was ruled to be a prop that was *also* a character. Because he cited this case, the judge had to rule whether the Batmobile ruling's reasoning applied to this car, and he decided it didn't. The car may be unique and iconic, but that's not enough to make it a character.

#BBC the nations LEAST trusted broadcaster can only look now to North Korea as an example of a nation worse than our own.
Know this
BBC would never admit that Britain is rated worst in Europe for protecting privacy and fourth most surveilled country in the world, recent research shows the number of CCTV cameras across the nation is continuing to increase.

But these are the facts they will never present .

#BBC The nations LEAST trusted broadcaster and propagandist provides your with a rose-coloured narrative to distract you from the truth that our nation is "Obstructed" and is no longer an "Open Democracy"

Fuck BBC and fuck the cretin "msmash" for citing a known purveyor of misinsformation
