In the news

The WWW is 20 years old soon, Velocio is just applying standard app-dev skills in a WWW context.

is this how computers used to work before there were computers ?

Hmmm... Technical middle class. I have no idea what that means, but I'm guessing its what you get if you take an emergent service worker and add twenty years.

Ditto. It must mean people who work hard but will never, ever be able to afford to buy a house or retire, and work in a sector that means they can't leave London to chase a better quality of life elsewhere in the UK. Ambitious but skint.

are we all gonna die of nuclear war ?
lets call n.korea's bluff and see what happens !

A little nuclear warfare has newer hurt anyone... bring it on!

How would they deliver this nuke?

Parcel force, or if they ask nicely, maybe buy me a couple of beers, I could be persuaded to take it anywhere central or north.*

*If it fits in my bag.

if i were them i wouldn't rely on royal mail, it might go of in the pyongyang sorting office as it gets thrown around by the xmas temp workers

Christmas temps in April... Well of course.

#royalfail

if we're talking about weather then we do indeed have christmas temps in april...

CRIMINALS USE BIKES!!!!!!!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-22013460

Det Ch Insp Bob Mahoney said: "If somebody's on a pushbike riding down the pavement or the road and they see someone with a mobile phone or a handbag, they can quickly catch it and then get away very, very quickly. They can go down alleyways, they can go in between tower blocks, it's a very quick way of getting away from the scene of the crime."

this was mentioned every 5 minutes on bbc breakfast news this morning. why is this news?

Probably because theft by scummers on bikes has tripled in the past 2 years, and it's probably good to warn people to keep their shiny things secure. Probably.

Not every negative story mentioning bikes is part of a war on cyclists.

Criminals use bikes, therefore all cyclists are criminals... Kill them with fire!

Rachel Griffin, director of the personal safety charity the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, said the increased number of bike lanes alongside pavements had made people vulnerable to the threat of cycle thieves.

She said: "Increasingly footpaths are being shared with bike lanes, so it's important to be aware that when you're walking along, you might be on the pavement, but there could be a bicycle either coming up towards you or behind you.

"pay attention for bikes in case you get mugged especially if you're too stupid to realise you're walking next to a cycle lane"

A new study divides Britons into seven social classes – but not everyone is convinced by the new categories, or the way they are decided. What do you think?

Not new at all. The census has defined a 6 tier class structure since for decades, based on the definitions outlined by Max Weber in the 19th century.

But this goes up to 7. It's one more.

no matter how you approach it a discussion centred on class will always end in tiers.

If you're gonna come to our country and take our jobs the least you can do is learn our outdated and confusion language (for explaining taxation rules)

I keep one of you scumbags (aka accountants) employed for that purpose.

i'm not an accountant. I'm a coder. :(

But this goes up to 7. It's one more.

I think he was just trying to drum up a little business there by suggesting North Korea's bluff be called.
