The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Cheers. I worked out that based on my assignment scores I can't now fail the module unless I fail the exam completely (by scoring below 40%). Would like to do better than that, though, however to obtain a result of "first" for the module I basically need to clear 90%.
I think that's feasible, but relies on me getting lucky with the questions and not screwing up arithmetically anywhere.

Microsoft is betting on doing things that make large content makers happy – DRM always on, spending money on NFL and Spielberg etc – in the hope that if there is great content, users will come. Sony is not bending over to make large companies happy, focusing instead on making users and retailers happy, betting that if they have the users, the content will come.

I love bagpipes beyond all reason, and this obituary of a piper who played during the Normandy landings has bought a manly tear to my eye. Here
My tears were not manly. I'm not ashamed.
(Coworkers have funny looks on their faces, though.)
Guys, we can all be friends now it is clear that we are all members of the Bagpipe Appreciation Society
I hate bagpipes. They give me a migraine
That's why you're a Brummie now?
God no. I'd put up with bagpipes everyday if it meant I got to live in Scotland again. Just the small matter of getting a job up there...or a job at all...

And that not to mention how much easier it is for indies to get on PS4, hell the DayZ guy said the PS4 was quite possibly in the cards after they get out of alpha, and that the the Xbone is just to hard of a platform to get on to.

Heh. First stage of the Ster ZLM Toer with a viable sprint finish yesterday. All the main teams have rolled out their big-name sprinters and full trains as a kind of dry run for the Tour de France, so the cycling press has spent the last week pontificating about how the sprint stages are going to come down to Mark Cavendish vs. Andre Greipel vs. Marcel Kittel.
First sprint taken by Theo Bos, from a group containing all three of those riders. Good show, that man.
Man if you compare Sony's and MS teams its night and day really.
Last night they has 2 guys whom are or were with MS (Stephen Toulouse and someone else) and 2 guys with Sony (Adam Boyes and Seth Killian)
They were on separate segments the one with the MS guys was so MS MS MS it was nuts. Like for instance when asked about the Xbox One name and if they think its weird one responds with
when I heard Kinect I thought it was a terrible name but 26 million units sold later.
and they dared not to mention anything not Xbone exclusive.
Meanwhile you had the Sony guys and they are shooting the shit talking about all the awesome games on all platforms only really towing the company line when it was asked for.
EDIT whoops forgot to mention this was on Giantbomb

Got a link? I quite enjoy Mr. Killian
(also toeing the company line).
Look man, there is a line out there, we need to get it here and there is only one way that is going to happen.
In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence.

Hmmm. This company produces unmanned drones for the logistics/delivery purposes. Currently operating in Africa and Haiti:
To deliver 2kg [4.4lb] over 10km [6.2 miles] costs just 24 cents," he said, although currently a vehicle costs about $3,000 (£1,900).
That seems relatively inexpensive. A van delivering small parcels is going to use fuel costing more than that to travel the same distance, although realistically it would do a loop of deliveries one after the other, and the drone would have to make a round trip per delivery. Plus the van costs ten times as much as a drone and you have to pay a driver. I wonder how the economics of this shakes out.
It'll be interesting to see if this is one of those things where Africa transitions straight from no infrastructure to "new" infrastructure without the intervening stages, kind of like how in some countries they went straight from no pervasive telecoms infrastructure to almost entirely mobile infrastructure, without ever really going through the stage of land lines everywhere.
Plus the courier only needs to control the depot, which might be an issue in a place like Haiti where poor roading, expensive petrol, parts etc and local crime could impact on normal delivery
Also is it just me but has Japan's posting recently become more frequent and interesting since exam study and prep started?

I took this week off work.
For the last few days if I've been on during the day it's because I'm experiencing brain fade after a couple of hours of manipulating equations and am trying to think about something else for a bit.

it is a good strategy
I have an exam in about 9 days, so am a little nervous too. I've almost finished basic revision and will move on to intensive revision and mock tests next week.
I was mildly shocked when I boarded a replica of HMS Endeavour back at school, the ship brave Captain Cook used to make my home, Australia and Hawai'i British.

Speaking of, or doesn't look like I'll be able to get the time off work next week so I won't be able to see Bad Religion at Hellfest.

Sadly I can see aus/jap timezone dying down in the near future. It's an offensive war and we've been doing pretty well around now.

Because there is no way anything relating to that is in the system at all.

Good luck champ. If you pass I shall be willing to buy you beer and peanuts if you perform math tricks for my amusement and edification.
Also, @Ronya, any tips for a virgin rooter (oh how my Kiwi school boy self sniggers)? My phone needs something.
I've started trawling various Android forums to try and understand what I need to know and do
:shock:
Yeah, and a comparison between the Britannia and Titanic would be equally as sharp a contrast. Still a pretty cool picture.

I've seen Bad Religion about 8 times.i think they may have played a cumulative 3 hours.
Their sets are way too short
