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.

For me it was always two women in a Mini. The amount of time they can spend looking at each other while they are talking is frightening.

I thought that Luton would be better off with a fleet of automated Bulldozers?

Finally, the BSOD becomes literal.

That sounds scary! I need to get a coffee urgently, but I'm worried that I'm being stalked by the BSOD now...

Nah, now it has become the bsod covered in splatter red.
MUWHAHAHAHAHA!

I'm still not really convinced they work. Most of the demonstration show that they work in normal conditions, and that is precisely not the problem. It's like showing your code works if you disregard edge-conditions. I want to know what they do when a piano falls out of the sky, or when a sinkhole suddenly appears, or in the event of a thermonuclear explosion going off far enough away to not be instantly evaporated but close enough that you have to care. The crazier the better. Prove that they can handle scenarios that the programmers haven't explicitly thought of.
