That one of the London ATMs? I love this story, although it did break a year or two back when they did the trial. Now apparently several thousand have been programmed to do Cockney, for the Olympics or something
in this building there is a thermostat per 4 or so offices (adjacent to each other). I just happened to draw an one for which the thermostat is in the office of a lady. Who is substantially more senior than I am.

Those are the ones that charge you like £3.50 or something and thus are only used by drunk people or desperate smokers in shifty corner shops.
I am buying one bottle tonight - should it be:
Remy Martin VSOP
Old Forrester bourbon
Four Roses
Evan Williams Single Barrel
or Forty Creek double barrel select which is apparently a genuine premium canadian whiskey, weird as that sounds.
I vote: Not Remy Martin
That's not me being a snob -- there are just better products for right around the same price.
I will defer to other boozers on the other options.
huh, Podly recommended Remy Martin as a good cognac. It does cost 75 bucks here though.
I don't know much about brandy so i'm not sure what i would get for a nicer cognac.
$75 for Remy Martin VSOP?! A 750 ml? Argh. Remy is okay but it's really not that good.
I am on record as being big on Hine cognac, but everyone's tastes are different.

Oh, so its just marketing then. Boo
Here was I hoping that it was a Cultural Olympiad thingy
I would work on a project but it'd take nearly $100,000 for any reasonable sized project just for me, 2-3 years at the least, full time.
What if you worked for free but I gave you stock options like whoa.
Hah people that work for like $20,000 a year and take stock options on a startup are insane.
options yes. Options are for suckers.
Actual stock, well it depends. That can work out very well indeed. But you need to be realistic about what actual chances the company has.
Plus my salary goes up for startups because there's about an 80% chance I'll be looking for work within 1-3 years.
You won't get that out of a start up. Stock yes, higher salaries then the industry average, no.
Problem is startups want breadth instead of depth of knowledge, so their needs and payscales need to represent that.
It's also one of the reasons startups fail. Sucks for them, I guess, they need to convince me to leave my job.
Actually they want both. They will prioritize breath over depth but there is a limit to how shallow your knowledge base is and still be useful. And generally the reasons start ups fail isn't a lack of in house technical knowledge but generally a lack of capital.
If anyone was hiring based solely on breadth of knowledge and not depth I'd be getting so paid
As it stands people expect you to have more than a survey-level overview of everything
Don't worry desc, every bottle is that overpriced here. A bottle of JD is like 25 or 30, and a good bourbon is at least 40 or 50.

Well, I have a vote in for Hine VSOP if it's available. It has a nice blend of richness and smoothness that I found really approachable. I am not a spirits expert but anything that has two separate. Blocks of flavor sitting side by side in your mouth gets a thumbs down from me. Remy tastes like SYRUPY WARMTH clashing with ALCOHOL. There's no integration of the flavors at all.
Hine is not crazy or high end and it doesn't have any big twist -- just a modest but clear heat and the kinds of gooey apricot-y golden goodness of a straightforward covnav

Ben Goldacre has used this, in conjunction with all the other shit the government is doing, to publicise the use of VPNs.

Only on some ISPs. I don't know if Be counts as part of O2 or not (given they're both subsidiaries of Telefonica).

I like how they pointed out a higher court had rejected this months ago, but a lower court somehow upheld it.
