Although the dramatisation is mildly apocryphal, it does capture really well the entrepreneurship and rivalry of microcomputer development in the UK in the 1980s. I love this short movie and have to go back and watch it again every couple of years.

I bet you could make that look awesome! As a graphic designer I really dig the Sun logo - bold, simple, clever.

Yeah, I totally get your point here and I agree. I am also emotionally traumatised by the damage that has been done to my SEN children being shoehorned into a school system that does not have the funding, facilities, training or compassion to treat them as people, much less to help them fulfil their potential.

I did not expect that seeing that interface would take me back in time as hard as it did. Oof! Memories.

So brave! I'm sure his action will have a deep and wide ranging impact /s

No, but Clarkson is a genuine right-wing, rage-baiting mouthpiece

But by the method you use in your first 2 examples, you start with the digit to the left of the barcode, reading digits 1, 2 and 3 of the 13-digit code. In your USA example, you start with the digit inside the barcode and read digits 2, 3 and 4 of the 13-digit code.

Following the same rule as your European examples would give 509, not 099, no?

Speaking from experience, forcing disabled kids into settings that are not equipped to help them survive, let alone thrive, in education has been a recipe for disaster as it is. I don't see how doing more of it will make it any better for the kids.

But then we know it's not for the benefit of the kids, is it?

Elon in Cybertruck at the crosswalk when the self-drive failed.

I've loved the SGI industrial design since I first saw it in the 90s. It still feels futuristic to me today.

Is that the Hank Cocaine who's friends with Steve Buttstuff?

Is that not just in the vegan pornos though? Fuck cream, fuck cheese, fuck meat, etc.

As it should be. It's only cum if it comes from the Balzac area in France.

Hello Boris! Immaculate lounging you're doing there.

Yet more anti-consumer technology to go alongside the gates that won't let you out until you scan your receipt, the ANPR in the car park, the hair-trigger scales on the bagging area, etc. All to crush that extra penny of profit from us.

I didn't think I said anything about forced vaccination.

The point I was trying to make was more that vaccination should be considered a precondition for involvement in civilised society. If you don't want a vaccine, fine, but feel free to go live a self-sustaining, off-grid lifestyle.

Perhaps my point was poorly made.

Vaccination is a (small) price one pays to be a part of civilised society. Being vaccinated protects the whole community not just oneself, and as such should not be considered a 'personal choice'.

I watched it when it first came out, I was quickly hooked. Seems a little prophetic in some respects.

UK has American-supplied and maintained nukes so maybe not a great long-term prospect?

Does not have a cyclotron for loan. Disappointed.
