• Commented on Server upgrade coming
  It was only at the end of last year that Windows 10 passed Windows 7 as the most commonly used Windows OS. Huge numbers of corporate machines (mine included) still on Win 7, since it works, and there hasn't been...
• Commented on Radio silence
  Regarding the US, while there's definitely a portion of the US population and the Republican base that are actual Trump fans, there's also a sizable population who have backed him for strategic reasons, but actually loathe him. If he were...
• Commented on Radio silence

• Commented on Catching Up
  Did a bit of quick math, and it looks like, if 75 voters (the right 75 voters) had changed their votes to the Conservatives, then they would have ended up with 322 seats and a working majority. Conversely, a switch...
• Commented on Catching Up
  "Oh, and those boundary changes are going to struggle to be implemented too, now. And there's probably a good case for asking the Electoral Commission to review them again anyway, after the huge shift in registration followed by actual increased...
