Don’t panic, but a ‘computer error’ cut the brakes on a San Francisco bus this week
Yeah… that works so well because components never break between checks in the morning and “incidents” during the day… the same way that headlights and tail lights don’t break at completely random intervals… Oh, and it did break in this crash and nothing to do with a computer.

OK, so the software giants with massive legal teams and their “representatives” lobbying the un-democratic and, seemingly, dictatorial European Commission, are not going to be happy, but I am. I would hope that most people who work …

Over recent years, with all of the changes that have taken place, there have been problems with Clicknames renewing their customers’ domain names late or only after several reminders.

VeriSign Wild Card DNS
Once upon a time there was a difference between a domain name that existed and a domain name that did not exist. It was very simple to find out if a domain existed, you did a DNS lookup on the domain and the DNS server either told you the domain’s IP address(es) or it told …
