I've just about had enough of this place now. Don't think I'll be taking an extension if offered.

Speaking of Java and 1996, some guy called Larry Page was asking for help with a Java web bot he was writing: https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!...U/ushhUIQQ-ogJ

Morning all!

My photo is being taken for the Programmes "Wall of Shame" or as most people call it, that place where we all go to remember who we were just in a meeting with, only problem is that the photo is not until 15:00 so I have to try and not spill anything down my shirt today.

Morning, just agreed to a renewal in principle. But this is DEFINITELY the last...

One of the BBC iPlayer chaps was at BarCamp London X the other month, telling us stuff about it. Apparently, when you request a programme, the central server can tell if there are people "near" you (in terms of the Internet's topology) who already have it, and will direct your player to get it from them via peer-to-peer networking, similar to BitTorrent

Conversely, other people may be getting programmes from you.

It makes it work faster for you at the same time as reducing the strain at their end, so it's a win-win

Lets hope the ISP's don't just highlight the traffic as P2P and throttle them, so maybe only a win for Aunty

I see Anonymous have taken over the KKK's Twitter account

I wonder if Twitter are working hard to get it back for them, or if something important has come up that means they can't get to it right now

The Klan have now gone all inclusive, they even let blacks in these days!

Wonder if the Millar guy gets a credit in Google history
