On the day that our illustrious leader Lenin Starmer announced proposed restrictions on illegal immigrants. ( starting from 2030 of course ) Some guy took umbrage and firebombed his house.

In my ticketing systems there would be a delete. It allowed operators to delete incorrect orders, or orders from comedians who rang in for a delivery to a non-existent address etc. Of course it also allowed actual orders to disappear so the operator could pick up some cash. The systems, however...

How often do we see "survey provides conclusive proof of......" Then you look a little deeper and the sample was 250, or a little more.

You and me also Pat. We have the climate fantasist and nutjob Milliband, Minister for net zero who is spending £billions on solar panels from China. Then the same time another crackpot, who sits at all the same meetings, is attempting to reduce the amount of sun shining on them. It makes total...

It would be helpful if the ever anti-social Microsoft told us when it was loading their (unwanted) updates. Whilst that is happening we often experience a serious slow down, particularly if running a search. Or even opening a website. We only know about the update when we close down. I would...

Thanks to the internet, there appears to be no limit for some nutjob to dream up some health science idea. Not only that, people believe them because they presume they must be some sort of expert.

As I remember it isn't long since New York and other cities on the East and West Coasts of America sailed barges out into the Atlantic to dump waste instead of landfilling it. Then other people noticed huge islands of debris floating about hundreds, or thousands of miles away. Consisting of...

That's not what I heard. Someone said "you're not often right but you are wrong again!" ;)

At New Year my wife decided that she would take more exercise and do a five mile walk every day. When it was our wedding anniversary, I had to drive all the way to York to bring her back.

One problem with this is that once distributed into space, if an issue arises, like all of the redundant satellites it cannot be removed. Plus it cannot be tested first. It will be probably crazy ideas like this that will destroy the planet. Let's face it: when exactly has a politician ever...

Quite unbelievable. Why would other countries allow us to do this. I'd not be surprised if it was Gordon Broon's crackpot idea. Although Moribund Milliband is contesting him for cretin in chief. Apparently, he has employed 2,000 people into his British Energy, when he has nothing to sell, not is...

More people should read CLIMATE UNCERTAINTY AND RISK by Judith A Curry. (2023) In parts it may be a bit heavy going in a few places but it is nearer to the truth than you'll get from Al Gore and our Loony Labour government etc. It is likely you will not find it in your library. Not quite the...

It does now appear that the Athmospheric Event, so called actually what they meant was too much cloud and not high temperatures. The nutty green commie brigade zealots have managed to close fossil fuel power stations over Spain, Portugal and parts of France. Nearly total reliance of solar caused...

Sigh. I don't normally repeat myself but after 43 posts none of us know anything at all. We don't know what data is to be stored. Nor do we know what information is required from the system. As I have said, the system starts from the contents of the Tables, not from an airy fairy idea, or an...

You do for certain types of building. Here we have Grade1 and Grade2 designations that are allocated to older buildings, or in particular locations like National Parks. In some cases even paint colours inside and out can be dictated. Making unauthorised changes inside and out can result in out...

Not a Carrington Event but an Atmospheric Event has shut down large swathes of Spain and Portugal. The Atmospheric Event is apparently, or is up to now being blamed on temperature. As high as 20ºc in the day and 7ºc has been mentioned! So we can only think that this story has a way to run before...

So it begs the question : "is AI a bit like someone with a brilliant memory and instant recall but little intelligence, and/or capacity for originality?" Basically if something arises which has never been experienced before, do they both just tell a good tale?

I saw this today and though I'd share it. Apparently Google AI Overview has been making an idiot of itself again. With users feeding it false sayings and sniggering when it tries to explain them. So this guy went to CHATGPT and asked : "You cannot stroke a kestrel when watching Bargain Hunt" In...

A platoon walked into a barracks yesterday. You'd have thought at least one of them would have noticed it.

In the past I have installed software at hundreds of companies, my own and third party software. Very few of the business owners understand any of the software that their business relies on every day of the year. They also have little understanding of the possibilities. Many of them are unable...
