There's a lot of emphasis on practicality in the marketing blurb - the "lightness, strength and durability" of the case, the convenience of the clasp, the five day power reserve, the timekeeping, the...

Few things are as awe-inspiring to me as Voyager 1.
When I was 10 or 11, I had a book that described NASA's intention to launch a probe that would take advantage of a planetary alignment that only...
Great effort, especially in the circumstances.
Watched the first episode of Mammoth last week. A PE teacher is frozen in an avalanche in 1979, and revived perfectly preserved in 2024. A bit like Life on Mars in reverse. In essence - it's about a...
I used to hold that opinion. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery (that mediocrity can pay to greatness, as Wilde had it) then Rolex, like Fender and Gibson, is an abundantly flattered...
Just tried this with dictionary words, got "1 thousand years" without the spaces.
One of my regular passwords is in excess of 20 chars long and uses all of the classes from the last column in the...

Years ago I worked for a research lab at Nottingham University and volunteered to be scanned a few times, just for testing and research. Their MRI scanner was the most powerful in Europe at that...
301 terabits according to the article, which in a sense would be 37.625 terabytes of stuff going down the wire every second, but - not all of that would be "payload" or actual transferred data, some...
Revisiting this thread because I took a photo of this for the Friday thread 40 minutes ago and noticed that the contrast between the hands and markers has increased slightly over the last couple of...

Have a good one!
I can remember getting comments on a watch exactly four times.
In the early '90s, a colleague complimented me on my 16750 and asked where I'd got it, assuming it to be fake. He then showed me his...
Sad to hear that. Those early albums with John Foxx are extraordinary for their time.
