Number crunching

Have a check. I've apologised before for misunderstanding/getting the wrong end of the stick and happy to do so.

So yeah, I am strong enough to apologise/admit fault. How's that going your end? Written to the editor about your inability to understand correct reporting yet? :LOL:

My gripe was with sensationalist reporting.
And then down the rabbit hole we went.......

But it wasn't sensationalist, it was accurate reporting!
You just didn't like it, doesn't make it sensationalist! There's a difference...
 
Because they put it in the headline.
Because it is not yet known.
Because he was 76.
Because he was overweight.

The Beeb used to go in for factual reporting, they used to be better . That's my gripe.

I don't get why you are upset over the headline. How do you know it's not yet known? It may be known but not public.
Overweight- by how much? You can't just throw it out there and not provide some substance.
 
So is "Gal posts bowlogs", but it is nowhere near the full story. :)



Is that intended to be a bad thing to say about me? Because I neither disagree, nor would want to do so. (y)

Nope. Not a bad thing - just that you wouldn't make a great press Baron if you stuck to facts. :mrgreen:

Being as overweight as he is (some, but not stupid) doesn't normally give breathing troubles on it's own afaik.
Being 76 doesn't either.
 
No, the lesson to be learnt was don't keep running unpatched out of date operating systems. It was a governance failure.

Never worked anywhere that doesn't have unpatched software, last place I worked, on the ~330 server estate in the division I worked on, there were over 26,000 identified vulnerabilities. Many not patchable.

My formative IT years were in a place where a server was taken outside and shot the day before the OS left extended support to encourage the others.

Most places don't have any monitoring processes in place nor have a particularly accurate CMDB of their estate.
 
So much for masks.

Another rat licker, or do masks confuse him ?

Only stupid people would follow Corbinbag. I wear a mask when I HAVE to, and correctly, only in shops or public transport.
Yes, he wasn't a good leader - but gone now, from the whole party perhaps as of today!
Wearing a mask indoors and correctly - good on you. You've respect for your fellow citizen and no, not even slightest are you a rat licker. :D
 
This thread is about an NHS IT contract - it was tendered in lots. This thread is not about emergency supply due to a global pandemic.
So.. neither wrong nor needing a lesson on the law. ;)
FWIW, I do think emergency situations need to bypass standard procurement processes. The consequence will be from time-to-time getting a bad deal. But clearly there are plenty of bad deals that were properly tendered.
Well as far as you were concerned in your earlier post, anything over £160k has to be tendered out...

But since that is not happening in NHS IT contracts (amongst many others), then you are clearly ignorant of the law...

And if you believe that 'emergency situations need to bypass standard procurement processes', then I presume you also wish to turn a blind eye to blatant corruption?

No wonder the government can do what it likes given such ignorance!
