From Shakespeare to Transubstantiation
So you’re thinking about a quote from Pratchett… …which brings to mind and makes you look up Falstaff. This makes you look up John Oldcastle. This makes you look up Lollardy. This makes you look up Consubstantiation (which you know a little about) versus Transubstantiation (which you know more about). And then – back to…

I have my own opinons, but they only go back as far as 1989-ish… Quote: So, you might think I am bragging, but I was responsible for the commercialization of TCP/IP and the technical infrastructure of the commercial Internet. In 1990, only the government, universities and commercial labs were operational members of the Internet. That…

“I’m sure many list members designed and wrote their own compiled languages as children”
Only on certain maillists do you get this manner of comment: BCPL is interesting in that it is quite close to being a sort of generically unoriginal language. I’m sure many list members designed and wrote their own compiled languages as children. My experience (before I had met BCPL) was to come up with something…

Last night Danny Alexander, Chief Secretary to the Treasury, said the officials would have to prove they are paying their fair share of tax or lose their jobs. An official investigation found large scale tax avoidance among senior bureaucrats, prompting the massive crackdown by Mr Alexander. In all, 2,000 senior public officials on more than…
