  • Commented on Service update
    Greg@17: While I didn't get to the "Ruling Party" panel, the transcript doesn't support your claim that the Green panelist took any criticism personally. In addition, your use of the egregious and inappropriate dog-whistle "watermelon" against someone I have known...
  • Commented on "The next big thing"

  • Commented on Over-Extended Metaphor for the day
    What, no love for the Appalacian snake-handlers of OS/2 Warp? Didn't think so......
  • Commented on Monarchy versus the Panopticon
    Swarms of small autonomous drones with biometric recognition (face, height, build, gait). And for his sake, hope they're only programmed to phone home to TheTimesOfLondon.com/uk rather than deliver a small, lethal payload. Expect the royal palaces and other places to...

  • Commented on What are the big issues of 2013 going to be?
    I very much fear we're going to see state-organised violence against LGBT people in at least one country this year, and possibly more....
  • Commented on National Talk About Something Else Day
    I'm taking a tea break after having to run up a 15-minute PwerPint presentation, which I must give in person, half-way across the country tomorrow. Then I'll book some very expensive train tickets because there's no such thing as an...
