As the great DNA said "I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by"
Those who fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it. --- George Santayana (December 16, 1863 – September 26, 1952)
Those who fail to clear history are doomed to explain it. --- OriginalGriff (February 24, 1959 – ∞)

I like deadlines. They help you to focus on what's needed to complete a product/phase/whatever, rather than anything else.
The problems isn't the deadlines, it's the focusing on other stuff.

At my first job there was an expression...
You have to shoot the engineers to finish the code.
Everyone thinks they have a great feature to add, it'll only take 5 minutes. Even PMs and Business Owners think the same. Reality is, if it isn't a critical requirement... leave it alone! Come back if there is time (rarely). Otherwise, it is a billable item in phase 2. We do want to make money, right?
It'll only take 5 [minutes|hours|etc]... and 4 months later it is part of the QA process, still causing bugs that delay the release, and everyone forgets it was not even a critical part of the system.

"Bury that which can be dug up for ever."(12)
Simple enough

Obscurum per obscurius.
Ad astra per alas porci.

Interminable - forever
Inter = bury
That which can be dug up - minable

There are different types of "criptic-ness".
The answer to a clue can be a composite (as above), or an anagram, a subset of contiguous character from the clue, a homophone or some other cleverness.
for example the clue "HIJKLMNO / lb" (5,5) would be "heavy water" because it is "H to 0" (H20) over "lb" (weight)
the clue "gegs" (9,4) would be "scrambled eggs"

I see now That I just missed the Inter - "place (a corpse) in a grave or tomb, typically with funeral rites."
Now it makes sense

Emulation proved no problem, one would suppose tool-use for processing may also follow at some point.
In any case, it'd be a more interesting screaming match than my current living arrangements provide.

The madness is that Segways, which are mega-cool are illegal on roads and on pavements in the UK. Campaigners have been trying to get this changed for years but fully automated cars, well that's fine.
>In December, the Treasury said it would create a £10m prize to fund a town or city to become a testing ground for the cars.
I'd suggest a fleet of automated cars with V8 engines. Luton could do with the cash.

Driverless cars would do a better job than most of the idiots I see on the A1 everyday. Just saying.

I would have said that if you hadn't. As far as the traffic here is concerned, 95% of the cars might as well be driverless...

Yes, usually BMWs in my experience, although Audis are bad also.
I'd like to use an expletive to describe them, but this is the lounge.
