Biting your tongue

Well more or less: "Damnit Hermes, just jump already! Stop hogging that
healthy liver!"

 

LOL "and that concludes the case for the defence m'lud."

 

Bit late in replying but I'm fed up trying to reply to threads and
realising they're about a week old !

Try accelerating away from a roundabout up a hill into a dip, 30mph
about 200 metres from the roundabout and then forty afterwards. Of
course I blatted it up the hill and then backed off to forty because
there's a speed camera on the opposite side of the road another 300
metres on. A *diesel* panda car catches up with me about another 500
metres into the 40mph flashing light etc so I pull over.

Same as you basically "you were going a bit fast up that hill etc blah
blah let you off with it this time". It took all my energy to stop
falling around the floor laughing. I could just see the scene in the
court "and constable you caught up with this dangerously fast motorcycle
in your diesel panda car, and what is the acceleration characteristics
of you car compared to the motorbike ..."

I'd seen the panda about two cars behind at the roundabout. Didn't think
he'd try and catch me but realised something was up when I saw him crest
the dip with his lights on, bit late really because I was doing a steady
40 through the gatso.


Just kept my mouth shut, he was in uniform in a properly marked car with
flashing light and everything. Figured he'd just had a bad shift dealing
with low-life thieving scum and needed a release.

Well, the web is littered with it, the vast majority of which seems
critical of the Wakefield study.

I think the problem is that most people don't understand how science
works (not including you here). The think there is some mysterious
"they" or "them", which is somehow connected to the Government, which
is not to be trusted. In fact, one of the huge strengths of science
is that it is distributed across institutions, countries and even
cultures, such that any claim made by any one team is likely to be
tested by others who are completely independent.

This is exacerbated by the tabloid press, which has a desire to feed
off a health scare which is verging on the criminal.

My maxim is to avoid any shit with the police. Shrug it off and move

So what's happening with the BBC R4 streaming late at night, then?
Umpteen times in the past couple of months I've been listening to the R4
midnight news and been cut off after 4 mins; can't reconnect, yet R2, R3
and the rest are fine. Tried different browsers, no change.
Is it just over-demand, or is there some other fault?

Pass.

I stopped supporting the live systems months ago, just building new
stuff these days.

Live clips, or listen-again?

 

You don't see it as a problem that science is a) associated with
government, and b) mistrusted? Sheesh.

Science is really quite efficient. If there was any truth in it,
other studies would have confirmed it pretty quickly. But somehow,
the fact that none of the other studies did confirm it is not good
enough.

The are benefits of giving it as a single jab.

Even if those are the only benefits, they seem pretty good ones to me.
With no *demonstrable* downside to the single MMR jab, why wouldn't
you choose to use it if it saves money?

All of which are good efficiency savings - especially as there is
really no difference to the immune system whether the innoculations are
given all together or one at a time.

After all - you end up with the same antibodies in the blood! And the
body goes through the same process whether it's a single antigen or
multiple - if the body coulnd't handle multiple immunisation processes
simultaneously I suspect that there would be no human race about to
worry about such things.

I'm going to give up arguing with you if you use logic like a girl.

There is a downside to the children of sending them up chimneys.
There isn't a downside to the children of giving them a single MMR

no probs.

I do recall that shortly after compulsory lids were introduced and sear
belts for that matter that there was reported drop in the number of
organs available for donation.

Although it has to be remembered that even before these things were made
compulsory there were a large number of people who thought the idea good
and adopted it anyway so the actual number of likely bodies would have
been going down well before any deadlines for compulsion came into
effect and thus we might well have been lied to by those who do such
things for a living which wouldn't surprise me in the slightest now but
back then I was a lot less cynical.

As a parent you are very susceptible to threats to you offspring, real

Live clips. Sometimes (mostly) it gives up after 4mins, other times
8mins-ish. Then for a week or so it'll be fine. Last night it cut off
and the realplayer message came up saying 'server disconnected, blah'.

Listen-again stuff seems unaffected, as do the other channels; which is
why I was wondering if R4 has more demand than the others.

Wouldn't make sense, given the architecture.

Encoder at origin takes in FM/DAB/DSat feed and encodes to realaudio
Encoder streams to master splitter
Master splitter streams to site splitters
Site splitters stream to edge servers
Edge servers stream to players

The splitters and edge servers are shared between multiple streams,
so if there was a problem with one server I'd expect to see the same
fault with every stream from that box.

http://nm0.mh.bbc.co.uk/support/mrtg/rm-split/radio4output.html
suggests that there may have been a few drop-offs (10.45am yesterday
being a definite) but nothing too alarming.

My suggestion would be to spend a quid on an FM radio. It'll be more
reliable, and higher quality, than some wanky stream. Technically
advanced doesn't always mean better, and it'll free up bandwidth for
downloading porn.

Unicast for broadcast, eh? I ask you.

One slight problem... I'm well out of range of FM reception.
Long wave is shit.

Sarah and I were talking about this sort of thing this evening: basically,
it seems I don't do much in the way of emotional extremes and don't really
see the point of it. My emotional spectrum (under normal circumstances)
runs from Chuffed to Irritated. Fortunately, I'm not really that bothered
about this.
