If a commercial ship can crash into a naval ship undetected then how could the naval ship cope against rival naval ships in a war footing?
Edit: VI and I like King James!
The Hadrian X is a bricklaying robot courtesy Australia's Fastbrick Robotics, which uses its 30-metre metal arm to lay bricks at a rate of 1,000 bricks per hour, compared to a human worker's average of 1,000 a day. Due for release in late 2017, Hadrian X can read a 3D CAD model of the house and then it follows those instructions precisely, working day and night.

F1: Backed Raikkonen each way at 17 with Ladbrokes to get pole (that's 1/3 the odds for top 2). It's likely to be a four horse race (with Mercedes and his team mate). Last year he beat Vettel in Belgian qualifying and has had some good qualifying so far this year. He's also got a great record at Spa and, unlike the race, the team can't possibly want him to do other than his best.
Watching Trump's speech about Afghanistan just now I was reminded of nobody more than Springfield's Mayor Quimby.
For reasons unstated Trump is ordering that the Earth observation equipment be turned off.
Though that certainly didn't stop Corbyn gaining so many votes at the GE.
A headless and limbless corpse found in waters off Denmark was deliberately mutilated, say Copenhagen police.

Anyway, must be off.
The specification will need to be very precise and accurate. Remember all those Satnav early adopters who ended up in impassible 'roads'?
Good evening, everyone. Still lurking.

Discussing the article on his show, Maajid denounced the idea, describing it as an attempt to try and censor history just because it offends some people.
“Where do you draw the line,” the LBC presenter said as he embarked on his passionate rant.
“Let’s start tearing down Richard the Lion Heart because he participated in the crusade and that offends me too.
“Why stop there? Queen Victoria, she reigned over the British Empire and colonised large parts of the world including South Asia.
“Let’s stop calling it Victoria Station, Victoria Hall, let’s remove everything with Queen Victoria’s name on it - including all the Navy ships we named after her.”
He continued: “What about Queen Elizabeth? Queen Elizabeth reigned over for a brief time when we still had some remanence of the Empire left.
“Let’s remove everything with Queen Elizabeth’s name on it, including any monuments and statues put up to her name.”
Maajid finished: “Hold on, she’s still our Queen isn’t she - that means we’ve got to remove the monarchy.”

Leicester line up of the reserves looks very vulnerable for an away cup tie in Sheffield. 4/1 on Sheffield looks value to me.
I was musing with the wife about this. I wonder whether there is a technology overload issue here. Something along the lines of too many different gadgets to manage that the pilot forgets to fly the plane, [or, in this case, the captain fails to steer the ship].
There is history in this regard - the US plane where pilot and co-pilot were so intent on fixing a problem with the landing gear that they forgot about flying the plane and it crashed
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Air_Lines_Flight_401
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asiana_Airlines_Flight_214
Or this one, again too slow on approach after a minor systems failure
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_Airlines_Flight_1951
Or this one, where a couple of muppets completely forgot the basics of how to fly a plane
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Flight_447
As planes become more mechanically reliable, autopilot systems better and airlines more cost conscious, more accidents are being caused by pilots being out of practice at the point their skills are most needed.
I don’t know much about boats, but I’d suspect the same is possible with over-reliance on GPS and auto manoeuvring systems.

It is our defence that is makeshift. Away to Man U this weekend also.
*I see Palace have fielded a strong team though.
He is a melodramatic prat by the sound of it.
Even for a mathematician, McKinlay is unusual.
The zealots who really disliked foreigners were always a small minority - most people who were and to some extent still are concerned mainly felt it was out of control rather than terrible per se, and I reckon most would be up for some sort of fudge on freedom of movement - something more about limiting early access to benefits, say.
If you're younger, and vote Labour, you're going to be interested in it if you work in it, have friends that work in it, or if you want to signal what you're about over it.
Ergo, the NHS scores highly. It is both important to many, and a national religion at the same time.

Leftists need comfort at times like these. Gift them this pacifying item that will give them something to do in between pulling down monuments. Or keep one for yourself!
Hannan's response to a Prospect article about Brexit was "those who were dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music"
i.e. those who don't understand why Leavers voted for Brexit tend to believe that Leavers are mad or stupid or both.
I used to like pogoing to the Sex Pistols. But then I was young and my knees still worked.
Dr Who Lives !
Or perhaps Brexit will help us recover from these things that happened on the EU watch.
Or perhaps someone is blowing smoke.
I know the feds seized hundreds of thousands of them. What's really interesting is selling them off immediately would have crashed the market, so they sold them off in blocks, and slightly above market price.
They didn't want to crash it.
Another bitcoin incident: an exchange, Mt Gox, got hacked and a bunch of bitcoin stolen. We can see the movement of the coins through the blockchain, and at the end of July someone running another exchange was arrested for money laundering, and part of that was involvement in the Mt Gox hack.
Around the time of his arrest, we can see 66,000 of them suddenly shift on the Blockchain:

Had a beer after work so I might be insensible.
That's definitely something-ist.
