making light of a terrifying ordeal?

Is he not just role playing a very nasty experience as one that's funny and easier to cope with?

Caveat Lector or Emptor or Venditor?

Caveat Emptor - let the buyer beware is a common enough phrase with its own Wikipedia entry. Caveat Venditor - let the seller beware is less common and has a sub-entry on the Caveat Emptor Wikipedia entry. The sub-entry even has a source. Caveat Lector - let the reader beware is, perhaps, even less common.

The main symptom is that the S6 WiFi keeps disconnecting. First, I connect to the WiFi and all is well and importantly I've just entered the correct password. Then shortly afterwards I find the S6 has disconnected from the WiFi and the error message ...

How does selling Openreach actually achieve better broadband?

There are lots of news reports [BBC article] about a report a 121 MPs making up the 'British Infrastructure Group (BIG)' have written. The report says there are 400,000 small and medium-sized companies that still did not have access to superfast broadband and that little would change unless BT and Openreach were formally separated. What would separating the two actually achieve? What are the factors limiting the rollout of superfast broadband? Which of the limiting factors, if any, would separation solve? As I understand things the limiting factors for superfast broadband are: cost - whatever the rollout technology someone will have to pay for the investment. Currently Openreach has two rollout plans: Commercial - this is where Openreach look at the number of site/buildings a network upgrade will help, cost of the network upgrade and use a statistical model to determine how many sites will actually take advantage of the upgrade. If the numbers work out Openreach w...
