"I’m one of a few that saw the power of RSS, which is now coming back in the shape of podcasts"
I don't think the rise of podcasts is massively due to RSS. I think it's because of the low cost / high creativity balance of the format, where the format uses RSS.
I wonder what would have happened if the allies had screwed Belgium over and not advanced to protect it.
As well as the crazy political situation in France, their army was also far too top heavy and old, and relied on ww1 era comms. I saw the average age of the high command was something like 30 years older in France than Germany.
Maybe you could say the top heaviness was due to French politics, and that the the old generals did not invest in new comms, but I think that is a stretch.
But, yes, I agree with you. The maginot line did exactly what it was supposed to do
Average salary for a tube driver is £55k. Here's what TFL say;

I've worked remote for 5 years. In my case it's not flexible. I think if I was a pure developer it would be, but I have to be avaiable for requests/customer calls etc same as I would be in the office
I don't use wordpress/yoast so am probably wrong. But I don't think splashscreens on shareware is 'ugly', I think it's fair enough. In some instances - such as Sublime Text - I am amazed at how discreet it is.
really? I mean, I get the aircraft carrier examples above but I reckon most business have internet access now.
I reckon (in the UK) loads of one man bands run everything off their phones. They're probably more likely to have access to the internet than MS Access.
Yeah, but surely the vast vast majority of dropbox's business has to come from PCs. Given how hard (and wrongly) they are pushing to be a collaborative space for work documents, I think I must be correct about this. I know it's cool and all to imagine everyone working on their phones, I just can't see that as a viable work process atm.
