The calculator works , but the magnetic reader is kaput... The rubber drive wheels has reverted to a goo. But like I said the Android simulation is excellent has all of the standard rompacks available . ... I got the TI when I was a a young engineer in Industry. I had finished my research time...

Yes the Android emulator is first rate. I use it on a number of phones and now the tablet . I bought a number of different calculators for Android over the years, but I just always go back to it.

The local dry cleaners, ran and maybe still does run, its system with a Amstrad 6128. The conveyor belt with all the clothes hangers has each location numbered. When a jacket is entered, it is given the number of its location and the client a little slip. Then when you come back. The number is...

There is a good article in the Guardian, which indicates that this is not about the ships at all. Its about the land they are on and their status as Freeport's. What a State gives a State can take away, so the UK State could simply rescind the Freeport Status of these properties owned by P&O.

It is the concept of redundancy, to which I am referring. A person can be terminated if there is no work for them to do.. But that is manifestly false if you have other people lined up to do the same job. A job is a property right ,and removing a person from one is a tort. .. Many times...

I think you miss my point. when the UK was part of the EU, trips between different parts of the union, would arguable not be international ., and EU law would apply. All the seafarers would be subject to EU rules of employment. There was a huge case over this with Ryanair a decade ago...

This is very much a Brexit Bonus. The argument advanced is that because it is international transport, UK law is not applicable. But if UK were part of the EU it would not be seen as International. Now the Larne Cairnryan route is an internal UK route... So lets see how that pans out.

Funny you should say that. About a decade ago, My College was donated a Narrow wave tank apparatus ... Based on a 80286 processor and customised driving software, .along with ancient ADC Cards . Bluntly we got a big van load of piece parts. How much was it worth?.... Absolutely no idea but...

Mine is a T 450.. and that is the one I upgraded the screen on. I also swopped out the HDD for an SSD. The internal construction is about the neatest I have seen on a consumer electronics product. The only thing comparable was the original IBM PS2/ 50., for precision plastics moulding.

Lenovo ThinkPad ..is the way to go in laptops . I purchased one about 5 years ago . Hated the screen ..the lousy 1366x780 dull matt one for corporate penpushers. Discovered that one could replace it with a FHD shiny screen . About the easiest bit of laptop upgrade I ever did, ..less than an...

Sorry flecc, I really don't think that is going to happen. There are no peace talks

I did run a number of caravans for a decade.... But getting ahead of ourselves here. If one is using a cigarette lighter connected invertor , one is llimited to 120 watts .. just enough for a TV . Anything larger and that includes the 1 Kw jobs needs cross battery clips . Now it would be...

Zlatan, I choose to return from the hospital before answering this posting. I like to get my facts straight. The domestic fridge I use a Hotpoint RLS 150 has a motor rated at 150 watts . And yes it has a nice thick cable with a 13amp fuse in the plugtop The reason for this is not load but...

We would call him a gormless eejit. He and the other Real soldiers in that room were lucky they were not shot as saboteurs. Now Is this the same Newspaper which wanted a 15 year old girl Ms Begum to to hung drawn and quartered?...then a child 1/3 his age?.

Woosh wouldn't be the only one... Modern fridges can have much less start up currents than older models , so the 1KW inverter can work. The game changer is that LED lighting power is very low . Fully agree with you that its a kludge... . However I might be prepared to do something similar to...

While I fully sympathise with Ukraine, I am slightly suspicious of the Soviet era Drone which crashed in Zagreb

I suspect someone in the Kremlin was reading that yesterday...

I listened with great interest to Hardtallk today with the Pretender to the Belarusian Premiership. Extremely heartening if it is true ...and it struck me that it could be. The point was that the Belarusian Army which Putin wanted to accompany his forces cannot be relied upon. Their...

Last week that British Admiral , made the point that no fly zone serves little purpose... . To hit artillery you need to attack the ground.

It is almost certain that SAS and US have gamed out rescue scenarios, but to what purpose?. Having active troops in the country would have all the pain and none of the gain. An SAS shoot out with a few unfortunate Russian conscripts is as much a cause for war as a proper no fly zone. Only none...
