All the arguments raised by Corbyn and co. also apply to Iraq. Thus they are exposed as pacifists become political opportunists. Either we bomb IS or we don't. There is no sane way in which to accept...
I'm halfway through typing in my answer on this site and my screen freezes. I can't recover what I've typed in already and I have to start again. This is what the App hang B1 message is. What is it...
In my mind I can conceive a space that is totally empty such that however large or small it is all the possible measurements are zero. Yet if I pass a photon through it it's original electromagnetic...
I believe that compassion, altruism, co-operation, sharing and communication form an evolutionarily conserved cassette of default states of the human mind-set. Examples of such traits are also clearly...
All I have is this photo and as you can see you can't make out the model number. https://www.flickr.com/photos/124207905@N04/21769711753/in/datetaken/ If not would you think the red ports on the LHS...
We are asked which 'colour of car brings bad luck?' We are then given a choice of colours. Surely there should be a choice option for those who believe that the colour of a car has nothing to do with...

The BBC calls them 'migrants' others call them illegal immigrants. How many can the UK take and what will be the consequences-millions more? The French in my opinion are allowing the young male...
For my sins I suffer from a condition where the voices of some people really get on my nerves. Call it a form of phonophobia also known as misophonia. With the advent of DAB radio and it's cost-saving...
The interesting thing here is that Marr's hectoring, interrupting interview is posted by who it was. There has been a general election since then but the Tory-hating BBC is, if anything getting worse....
I have some experience of working with donkeys and found them to be an intelligent and often generous species. So I want it to be clear here that in this context "ass" means the human fundament and...
The press has been hyping the re-opening of the LHC at CERN this week with an effective doubling of the energy of the proton.proton collisions. Yes it would be nice to think that the secrets of the...
I have been watching the Jules Holland Show for years. Lately I have come to the conclusion that in the perception of the global population of this planet, namely the people who are targeted by one of...
Bar one article in Nature which by the way stopped me breathing when I considered that scientists now believe that only once, a billion or so years ago did a tiny creature now known as a mitochondria...

I use a NAS (Network Associated Drive) for backups and also keeping all my documents, photos, music, videos etc. such that I can access them from any of my devices in the home. My NAS is a small...
In the recent BBC Natural History series on Alaska I was impressed by the massive pumpkin that came within 6lbs of beating the record. Such growth was attributed, not withstanding the dedicated work...
