Waller, Geneva, Ill., assignor t0 Burgess-Norton Mfg. Co., Geneva, Ill. Filed Sept. 3, 1970, Ser. No. 69,364 Int. Cl. B24d 3/ 02 U.S. Cl. 51-309 3 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method of making an abrasive drum by applying a brazing coating and carbide grit to the exterior of the drum and then heating the drurn in a furnace while the drum is positioned vertically. 'Ihe drum is supported in the furnace on its end without the use of supporting xtures. A controlled atmosphere is provided in the furnace during heating.
The invention relates to a method of making an abrasive device.
-An object of the invention is a method of making an abrasive sleeve or drum in the simplest manner and particularly without special supporting or carrying parts for use during manufacture and during heat treatment. KIn general, the method involves the application to a metal sleeve, such as a steel sleeve, of copper paste and tungsten carbide grit and the brazing of the article by treating at suitable temperature in a vertical position and resting preferably on its own bottom without the necessity of using special supports or special fixtures. Other brazing material may be used.
Other objects will appear from time to time in the specification and claims.
The invention is illustrated more or less diagrammatically in the following drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is an axial half section of one form of sleeve or drum,
FIG. 2 is an axial half section of a modified form of sleeve or drum,
FIG. 3 is a vertical section illustrating one form of a suitable induction brazing furnace showing a sleeve in place, and
FIG. 4 is an enlarged vertical cross-section illustrating a detail of the inlet which appears generally in FIG. 3.
Like numerals will be used to designate like parts throughout the following description of the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, 1 is a rigid sleeve preferably formed of steel, although it may be formed of other metallic material. Abrasive grit such as tungsten carbide grit is brazed to its exterior and is arranged to produce a pattern suitable for scoring material which will be moved in relation to the sleeve and in contact with it and will be abraded by it.
To produce a pattern for scoring, the grit is applied in more than one degree of neness. Thus there are bands 2 having relatively coarse grit and areas or bands 3 having relatively finer grit. The use of grit having a plurality of degrees of -neness will produce the pattern shown or any other pattern desired. Obviously, the coarse and fine grit may be arranged in different bands and different widths of bands depending upon the particular pattern desired.
When material, such as strips or sheets of wood, is moved relative to the sleeve and the latter is rotated, the surface of the strips or sheets will be given a pattern corresponding to that of the sleeve. The coarse grit will form deeper marks and the fline grit will smooth the surface of the strip or sheet but will not extend as deeply into it-as does the area of coarse grit.
3,687,647 Patented Aug. 29, 1972 In the modified form of FIG. 2, a sleeve 4 is shaped to provide outwardly extending ribs S which as shown may be of different widths. The sleeve is shaped to provide between the outwardly extending ribs 5, spaces or areas 6 which comprise in effect valleys between the raised portions 5. The sleeve as shown in FIG. 2 is preferably provided with abrasive grit such as tungsten carbide grit and it is applied preferably equally over the entire surface of the sleeve covering preferably the raised portions 5 and the intermediate portions 6.
It would be possible, if desired, to make the sleeve in the form of FIG. 2 by applying grit only to the raised portions 5. yIn the form shown, when material such as sheets or strips of wood is moved in relation to the sleeve and the latter is rotated, the surface of the material would be treated. It would be grooved where the raised portions 5 contact it and it would be smoothed to a lesser degree when the lower areas 6 contact it. 'In general, the result of treatment by the sleeve in either the form of FIG. 1 or FIG. 2 will produce the same appearance on the material treated. l
As shown in FIG. 3, a sleeve 7 is in position for brazing in an induction brazing furnace. The precise details of the furnace form no part of the present invention.
The sleeve of the present invention may be brazed in almost any type of furnace provided proper heat and proper atmosphere can be maintained in the furnace during brazing. The sleeve of this invention may be suitably made in a variety of furnaces. The induction brazing furnace has the advantage that it can be made of economical use in substantial heights and thus long sleeves may be brazed in it.
In the form of FIG. 3, the furnace is mounted on supports 8 which are I beams and may be of steel and which carry a plate 9. Upon the plate 9 is mounted the actual base 10 of the furnace. The furnace comprises an outer jacket 11 provided at its lower end with a flange 12 by means of which bolts 13 secure it to the plate 9 and to the base 10. An inner surface 14 defines the inner portion of the furnace. Between the sleeve 11 and the surface 14, is a mass of insulation 1S within which are positioned water cooled induction coils 16. The material 15 is refractory and the induction coils are conveniently cast in it. The coils are present in numbers suitable for the required degree Of heating and the preferred time interval of heating. Side braces 17 may be provided to give the furnace greater stability.
Adjacent its lower end, there is positioned within the furnace a work locating piece 18. It does not support the sleeve 7 but merely positions or locates it at a proper relationship within the furnace.
Generally the furnace is provided with an inlet 19.
A lid 20 closes, when in position, the upper end of the furnace and is removably fastened in place by latches 21 which are pivoted as at 22 upon the lid and may engage when in the position of FIG, 3 with members 23 secured to the outer face of the furnace sleeve 11. A seal 24 is provided between the lid and the upper end of the insulation or refractory material 15.
The seleeve may conveniently have an inspection or peep hole opening 25 which is closed by an inspection plate 26. This may be made of clear quartz or other material through which it is possible to look and which will stand the degree of heat present in the furnace during use. 27 is a gas vent.
In the past, sleeves of the type shown, which may be used in abrading or otherwise treating sheet material or used for other purposes, have been supported in a horizontal position during the brazing heat and have shown a pronounced tendency to collapse or distort when in a horizontal position during heating. This has required the use of special ixtures in the sleeve. In the past, these have of necessity been made of special alloys land they have a tendency to grow or otherwise distort in use when subjected to the brazing temperatures in excess of 2000 F. A longer heating cycle is required than would otherwise be necessary because of the additional weight of the yfixtures which must be heated. The fixtures deteriorate rapidly with repeated heating and go out of round and must be frequently lreplaced. The longer heating cycle due to the presence of the fixtures which in addition to the sleeve must be heated, gives time for the heavy carbide particles to run or slide in the molten copper during brazing.
By the present method of vertical heating, with the sleeve under treatment in a vertical position, no fixtures at all are required to keep the sleeve from collapsing, as would be the case if it were horizontal; hence the cost and trouble of xtures is avoided. Without the fixtures, the sleeve may be brought to brazing temperature very rapidly and immediately cooled. This limits the time during which the heavy particles of carbide might run or slide downwardly while the copper or other brazing metal is molten.
The method of vertical brazing thus shortens the heating cycle, eliminates the fixtures and work upon them and eliminates the sliding of carbide particles during heating.
Copper has been referred to as the brazing material and it is a satisfactory material. It is applied in powdered form mixed With a material which evaporates and disappears during the brazing cycle and which makes of the copper powder a paste. The tungsten carbide is applied in powdered form and of a suitable degree of tineness and coarseness to produce the ultimately desired article.
Other brazing material than copper may be. used, among them is a nickel chromium boron mixture. The invention is not limited to any particular brazing material and those mentioned are merely among the suitable brazing materials available.
Tungsten carbide is a suitable abrasive grit and its use is contemplated in the invention although other hard abrasive grits maye be used if desired.
Generally the furnace is constructed to accomplish rapid heating and cooling. It is important that the furnace itself be susceptible of rapid cooling so that the sleeve or other part under treatment may be cooled very rapidly. To that end, among other features, the furnace has preferably no metal parts. The outer jacket 11 will not normally be made of metal but may be made of fiberglass or some other non-metallic material having the necessary physical properties. Since the furnace is heated by induction, only the sleeve or other part within it will be heated during the carrying out of the process of the invention.
To accomplish proper heating and brazing in the vertical position, it is desirable that the heating itself and the cooling shall both be accomplished with great rapidity and it is advantageous that the sleeve or other part being treated shall be kept at the brazing temperature as short a time as possible. Among the advantages which result in extremely short heating times is the prevention of allowing of the brazing material and movement of the grit. By providing furnace and a method by means of which heating may lbe carried out with great rapidity and cooling may also be carried out with great rapidity, the flowing and displacement of the brazing material on the grit is prevented. Cooling is accomplished by introducing a. suitable atmosphere, preferably through the inlet 19.
Although the invention is not limited to the particular details of any type of furnace, it is preferable to use an induction furnace of the type shown generally herewith and means are provided for introducing gas, air or a controlled atmosphere to the furnace and for withdrawing them from the furnace. Only so much of the means for the introduction and withdrawal from the furnace is illustrated as is necessary to indicate that means are provided. Movement inwardly through the inlet 19 is controlled by a valve which may be automatically or manually operated and which is not shown since the invention is not limited to any particular valve or comparable controlling means, Similarly, movement outwardly through the gas vent 27 is controlled by valve means not shown Entrance of gas for a controlled atmosphere into the furnace and outside of the sleeve 7 may be accomplished by the inlet means shown generally in FIG. 3 and in greater detail in the enlarged view of FIG. 4. As shown in those figures, an inlet, pipe or duct 30 leads to a distributing ring 31 positioned within the base 10 and beneath the hollow cavity defined by the furnace. The distributing ring 31 is provided with one or more perforations 32 through which gaseous fluid may flow to the space 33 which is the annular space between the outside of the sleeve 7 and the inside surface 14 of the furnace insulation 15. .A sealing means 34 is placed adjacent the distributing ring 31 and lies within a cavity 3S formed at the bottom of the insulation 15. Inward W through the inlet duct 30 is controlled by a valve which may be operated in any desirable manner and which is not shown as the invention is not limited to any particular type of valve mechanism.
The inlet 19, the inlet 30, and the distributing ring 31 and the gas vent 27 provide together means for introducing gaseous material to the interior of the sleeve or to the exterior of the sleeve and for the discharge of the same gaseous material from the furnace. Thus means are provided for introducing air, gas, atmosphere and any gaseous material which may be desired and for introducing it either within the sleeve or along the outer surface of the sleeve.
The material of which the sleeve or other part which is to be treated is made is ferrous metal or an alloy of a ferrous metal. The grit which is to be bonded to the part may be copper brazed and the grit itself may comprise tungsten carbide. The grit may be of varying degrees of tineness.
Although the heating will be described in detail below in connection with brazing to provide a coating of grit on a sleeve or other base part, the furnace as shown and as described can be utilized for other types of heating such as tempering and annealing. Selected atmospheres may be used in connection with such heatings and it will be pointed out below that selected atmospheres are also used in connection With brazing. If desired, the furnace chamber may be sealed and a vacuum produced by use of a suitable vacuum pump.
In carrying out the brazing treatment, the sleeve is degreased. Cuprous oxide brazing material is applied to it. It may -be applied manually or by any desired mechanism. Brushes, rollers, and spraying are among the possible techniques which have been used and which are applicale to the carrying out of the method disclosed herein. After the cuprous oxide has been applied to all the parts of the surface which are to receive tungsten carbide grit, the grits are sprinkled over the surface and this may be done manually and/or by any means which will produce the desired distribution of particles. Generally the surface distribution of the carbide grit particles is such as to produce an even distribution of the particles over the entire surface. The particles will be of a desired degree of fineness The part thus prepared is put into the furnace in the position indicated in FIG. 3 in a controlled atmosphere and it is heated to a temperature of approximately 2050 F. The heating effect is turned olf or discontinued preferably by an automatic switching means as soon as the brazing temperature has been reached and maintained long enough to produce the bonding of the grit to the base material. When the heating effect is discontinued, a neutral gas is introduced into the furnace and the furnace is opened and the gas is effective to assist in cooling the sleeve.
For some purposes where it is desired to have a thick coating of grit, this may require a repetition of the process. A second coating of cuprous oxide is applied and the furnace treatment described above is repeated. This second treatment may be necessary when it is impossible to apply enough cuprous oxide to the sleeve without having the tungsten carbide and the cuprous oxide sag during the furnace cycle. This second application of cuprous oxide provides additional strength between the tungsten carbide particles and the base material or substrate. The process described above may be referred to as the Soft Bond Process.
Mention has been made of the controlled atmosphere in the furnace in the heating. In most instances, it is desirable to have a reducing atmosphere, in other words, one that will reduce surface oxides. As a higher carbon material is used, an atmosphere having a carbon potential comparable to that of the material should be used. Where the grit is applied to stainless steel, it is preferable, if not actually essential, to use dry hydrogen. There are listed below certain typical analyses of atmospheres which are suitable for use in carrying out the process of this invention:
lIt is to be understood that the invention is not limited to atmospheres having the particular analyses of any of those above set out. They are typical and satisfactory for various uses and in connection with various materials, but the invention is not limited to any particular atmosphere and the process can be carried out satisfactorily in connection with atmospheres other than those listed.
Whatever the details of the process, and they may be varied as pointed out below, the sleeve to be brazed, after having been prepared by cleaning and degreasing in particular, and after having received a suitable coating of the bonding material and the grit, is placed in the furnace and located centrally as shown in FIG. 3. The furnace is then tightly closed and is purged of air by ushing with a purging gas. Preferably the purging gas enters at one end of the furnace, for example, through the passage 19, and sweeps the furnace and exits at the other end. The purging gases are dry gases, usually nitrogen or argon, and they do not support combustion. `Other gases may be used, for example, carbonaceous gases such as methane, ethane, propane, cracked ammonia, hydrogen, exothermic, or endothermic gases, and these do burn. Where a combustible gas is used, a fine screen is placed across the exit to act as a flash arrester.
When the air is expelled from the furnace, the desired atmosphere is established and the inductive power of the induction furnace is applied. The sleeve is thus brought to a brazing temperature to produce a fusing of the bonding materials. When the bonding materials have been brought to the fusing temperature, power is shut off and the part such as the sleeve, or any other desired part ,is cooled as rapidly as possible and may be removed from the furnace as soon as it loses its red color and becomes visually black. If the gas is combustible, it will burn at the furnace top when it is purged from the furnace after the door seal is broken open. The gas, if combustible, is ignited by a pilot light suitably placed to cause prompt ignition of the gas upon its exit from the furnace. The copper brazing above described can ybe carried out in any of the above listed atmospheres. `Once the brazing temperature has been reached and held long enough to accomplish brazing, it is preferred to cut olf the heating as soon as possible to hold the time of heating thus to a minimum required for brazing. When the heating is cut oi, it is preferable as a part of an automatic control whose details form no part of this invention, to introduce the neutral gas to the bottom of the furnace and to assist in cooling the piece which has been brazed.
While the process above described has been referred to as the Soft Bond process, the process with some modifications may be applied to or carried out in connection with what is called the lHard Bond process, either with line grit or coarse grit. The substrate material is steel in various sizes and shapes. It is degreased before other treatment to remove oil or grease and to reduce contamination. The brazing material will not suitably adhere to the base material if it has not been cleaned. After degreasing, the surface of the piece which is to be coated is shot-blasted with clean grit shot to provide a rough surface which will create a good mechanical bond between the tine powdered grit and the substrate.
The piece is then preheated, preferably with an oxyacetylene ame, to a temperature from Z50-300 F. If the piece under treatment is cylindrical such as the sleeve shown in the drawings, it will be mounted upon a rotating fixture during the heating. The heating is necessary to reduce the shock of the high temperature powder which will presently be sprayed upon the surface under treatment. Thereafter the hard bond material, which is a special tungsten carbide from 200-270 mesh size, is spread by thermo spray gun operated with Oxy-acetylene or oxyhydrogen fuel. The matrix used is a nickel chrome boron blend which produces a hard iller and a suitable base for the carbide particles. As fused, the matrix has a range of RC" 62-66 and the carbide particles have a range of approximately RC" 75. The tensile strength of the matrix preferably ranges between 65,200 and 75,000 pounds per square inch. The spray gun by which the matrix is sprayed upon the surface under treatment is preferably held approximately 9 to 14 inches from the surface upon which spraying is taking place. As presently practiced, this method produces a hard bond coat varying from .005 to .025. The thickness varies in accordance with the application of the coating.
After the coating has been applied, the sleeve or other piece is induction heated in a furnace generally of the type shown. To create fusing, heating should be carried out to approximately 2050 F. At this temperature fusion of the coating to the substrate will occur. During heating and fusion, a controlled furnace treatment in an exothermic or other suitable atmosphere is preferred.
A modification of the hard bond process in which coarse grit is used is similar to that above described but varies in some details. If a substrate material comprises low carbon steel in various sizes and shapes, a dull matted finish is preferred. This material is degreased as in the case mentioned above, and after degreasing the surface to be coated is shot-blasted with clean grit shot as in the case above described and heating of the piece under treatment is carried out in the same manner as that above described. The hard bond material which is to be applied in this modification of the hard bond process differs from that described in connection with the example above set out. In this case the hard bond material contains no carbide particles and is a blend of nickel, chrome, and boron. As fused it has a hardness of RC" 62-66 and a tensile strength range from 65,000 to 75,000 pounds per square inch. This hard bond material is sprayed on the substrate to a thickness of .005 to .025. The thickness of the coating is varied to conform to the size of the tungsten carbide used. Thereafter a coating of suitable flux is applied to the substrate. One suitable ux is that presently available under the name of Handy & Harmon. It provides a base material to which the carbide particles will adhere during the heating treatment. After the flux has been applied, carbide particles are sprinkled onto the flux, sprayed or otherwise applied to it and adhere to it because they are applied while it is still soft and sticky.
,After the steps above mentioned, it is necessary to pre-dry the ux before introducing the piece into the furnace. Pre-drying may be suitably accomplished in about four hours at temperatures between 30G-400 F. After pre-drying, the piece is heated in an induction furnace of the type shown to a temperature of approximately 2050" F. in a controlled exothermic or other suitable atmosphere. Upon completion of heating, the atmosphere is driven from the furnace and cooling is accomplished. After cooling, the piece is placed in a hot Water tank to remove the flux.
The treatments above described carry out the necessary steps to produce a suitable coating of grit, coarse or line, with a soft bond or hard bond as indicated. The coating carried out upon an elongated piece such as a tube or sleeve without any added lixtures can be accomplished very rapidly. Heating and cooling are accomplished very rapidly so that grit particles do not have time to slip or slide or run along the surface to which they have been applied, and because of the vertical position of the elongated piece to which the coating has been applied, the piece itself will not distort or sag under treatment as Would be the case if it were supported in a horizontal position even by means of elaborate fixtures.
I claim:

The motives of the alleged shooter, who wounded Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and killed six people in Tucson, are not known and they may not be political.
But after an acrimonious election in November that followed months of bitter exchanges, politics looms large in the wake of the shooting and a local sheriff pointedly blamed hateful political rhetoric for inciting violence.
"When you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the government," Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik told a news conference.
"The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous. And, unfortunately, Arizona I think has become sort of the capital. We have become the Mecca for prejudice and bigotry."
The spark in Arizona's political firestorm was the border state's move to crack down on illegal immigration last summer, a bill proposed by conservative lawmakers and signed by Republican Gov. Jan Brewer.
The law known as SB 1070 "superheated the political divide more than I've ever seen it in Arizona," said Bruce Merrill, a longtime political analyst and pollster at Arizona State University.
A majority of Arizonans supported it, but opponents and many in the large Hispanic population felt it was unconstitutional and would lead to discrimination.
As the law went into effect, U.S. Congressman Raul Grijalva, an Arizona Democrat and opponent of SB 1070, closed a district office in Yuma after staff found a shattered window and a bullet inside.
Giffords favored a softer approach to illegal immigrants and was expected to push for comprehensive immigration reform in the Congress that was sworn in this week in Washington.
Other issues divided Arizona.
There was also anger over the economic crisis. The once-booming desert state was one of the places hardest hit by America's mortgage meltdown and foreclosure crisis.
Add to that rage over policies by Democratic President Barack Obama, namely his healthcare reform passed last year, and the rising national debt -- both issues that rallied conservatives in the last Elections, especially those tied to the Tea Party movement.
"I feel huge sorrow, that's just been building in southern Arizona for some time, this hate, hate, fear, somewhat around SB 1070, somewhat around healthcare reform. It definitely heated up when President Obama was elected," said Molly McKasson Morgan, 63, who participated in Tucson politics and knew Giffords.
Giffords narrowly won her reelection in November over a candidate backed by the Tea Party.
"It's never been this angry, it's never been this divisive," said Alfredo Gutierrez, a former state lawmaker.
And then there are the guns, readily available in a state with relaxed gun control laws.
"The number of guns and the angry people that have access to them is astonishing," Gutierrez added. "That combination of anger and guns in Arizona is almost an invitation to violence."
Art Hamilton, who served 26 years in the state House and 18 years as its Democratic leader, said there is "no question" that Arizona is at a low point in its governance.
"I do believe we see a point in the history of this state that we're practicing the politics of division and subtraction, not multiplication and addition," Hamilton said.

And you know who really loses if obama's America defaults? Not us Americans….but China and Japan! They are the two largest US creditors, holding nearly $2.5 trillion in US Treasury bonds between them. Honestly, do you really care if China and Japan gets caught holding the bag! Hahaha Serves them right! Yes, I know, when we TeaPublicans force Obama's government to default on its debt, some of you might lose a large share of your 401k retirement. But honestly folks, that's just the price Americans are going to have to pay to save OUR America! "P n P" in 2016! Perry n Palin taking back OUR America!

"Unreported: The drone was called "Lucy" and the drugs were paid for with conflict diamonds..."

"It'll need to somehow be made into a browser based exploit, because no one is using Flash let alone Java on their Mac (or anything else) anymore."
Citation needed. (I can counter the claim of "no one" because I know of two local companies that are Mac-based and who do have Flash installed*)
"If you do"
...you are proving DougS wrong, because he just said "no one" does in the same post? :p
"there are so many security holes in those pieces of trash that need weekly patching you couldn't further reduce your security if you posted your password on Facebook and Twitter!"
This I can't disagree with!
* As a relevant aside, I know that one of them recently paid someone to remove some malware from one of their computers, though I don't know the full details: I do stuff for them, but it's not IT related - I don't do Macs.
Icon says it all. Brilliant. :)
"Somebody needs to give W3C a slap, then the browsers that actually implemented this."
Those responsible at W3C and on the browser development teams should be slapped with the browsers.
The browsers themselves being installed on the chunkiest laptop available (a laptop being the most practical for the purpose, I think).
"If a biometric behavioral profile is either shared or stolen, it can't be changed like a password."
I beg to differ. Firstly, as Mark 85 says above, both accidents or alcohol can change the way you type. And secondly, the device/keyboard you are using - or even the way you are using it - can affect things. Keyboards differ - I'm typing this on a decent, raised keyboard that is quite the opposite of annoying pancake keyboards that you get in most modern laptops, and I type differently on this one than I do if I'm using the laptop keyboard.
And as for the laptop keyboard itself, I type differently on it when it's sat on a desk compared with when it's sat on my lap.
This whole idea is just nonsense when it comes to the proffered use - IDs and security - which only really leaves the invasion of privacy.
"more info here"
Thanks for the link - bookmarked for future ref. Have a thumbs up and one of these --->
One sense of humour.
Last seen on a bus heading South. Please contact kryptylomese if found.
Does this mean 2015 won't be the year of Linux on the desktop?
"You'd think after the success of the first phone they'd drop this crap and be in a position to supply on a larger scale by now."
Indeed. The whole "invitation" nonsense just puts me off. I see it as nothing more than a marketing ploy, to make people who get an invitation and are able to buy one somehow feel as though they are part of an exclusive/select group.
The phone looks like it could be a reasonable replacement for my current one, which is becoming increasingly battered, and for a reasonable price - but I won't be buying one while it's on this silly "invitation" basis (even if someone sends me an invitation). If and when they make it generally available, I'll consider it - IF I still have my current phone and IF their phone still looks reasonable for the price compared with other phones on the market at that point.
I was tempted to say "Photos, or it didn't happen."
Then I remembered there are photos in the article.
"We British say pavement, no septic tankisms please."
And on that note, I'll give a thumbs up to Andrew for calling invitations "invitations" and not "invites".
Microsoft should make everyone wear each new day's clothes on top of all previous layers.
They must have purchased HTML from Microsoft somewhere down the line then, because at some point in the dim and distant - I forget now which version of Windows that was - I noticed it was "Microsoft HTML Document" on a new computer.
"Honestly, Sam, I was merely researching to find out just how easy it is to access. Now I know, I'm going to see what can be done about it!"
More likely, it's a first step in creating a list of people who look at porn. Start by making sites authenticate users' ages using credit card verification - then later, insist on having that information fed back to the newly formed Porno Commissioner's Office*.
* Actual name may - and probably will - vary.
"And long may it continue, otherwise we might be facing another extinction event..."
I think that would be more like an extinction non-event.
Anyway, just tweeted this:
I gather @Number10gov wants to stop people looking at tits on t'internet. Soon, you'll no longer be able to look at https://duckduckgo.com/?q=uk+politicians&t=ffnt&ia=images

""wtf do you do with all the icons!"
Scroll through very fast and yell "WEEEE!"
Better still, emulate three wheels, displayed edge-on with the icons on the outside. Have a launch button which, when clicked, spins all three at slightly different (random) speeds. Only launch an app if all three wheels stop with that app's icon displayed.
"What manner of moron are you?"
I suspect the manner of moron that isn't a moron at all. He probably said that in jest, as a deliberate play on the old 640K quote.
6. Everyone on Earth profits because those particular lawyers will have to visit the alien homeworld in person, and won't be back in our (or their own) lifetime.
"APM doesn't recognise you as a Prime subscriber if you have both a .co.uk and a .com account with Prime only on the .co.uk (as i suspect a lot of people have)."
That describes me - and prompted me to try it. I'm now listening to one of the their stock playlists via the web browser.
Could it be a cookie issue (Amazon's don't live beyond the session here)?
"You could just use offline ones"
This was pointed out to Elmer a few days ago.
It's the Pope doing the pooping.
My reading of it suggested the point was "I've bought into iOUT* lighting... and now I've realised that not only was there no problem for it to solve, but it's actually more of a problem to use."
I didn't pick up on that opening sentence - or I'd forgotten it by the time I'd reached the end, until reading the comments!
* iOUT: Internet of Useless (or Unwanted) Things.
" I also had every single issue of Amiga Action, complete with cover discs, till my dear mama decided they were junk, and chucked 'em without even ASKING. No sense of nostalgia, my mother. She could've ASKED FIRST!"
I feel your pain. I have - repeated - first hand experience of a similar problem. With the first two I know what happened:
The first time: When I was a nipper, I bought comics - just things like Beano, Dandy, Whizzer and Chips, etc - and I didn't throw them out. I built up a nice little collection. We moved. On packing day, I brought all my comics down into the living room, intending to take them with us, then went out with my friends. When I came home, the comics were gone - and I discovered that mother dear had used them to wrap her ornaments. :(
I'd also built up a nice collection of toy cars. On this occasion, those did go with us, and the collection continued to grow over the next few years. I had some nice ones - and I'm sure some of them are now worth a nice few squids. At some point, however, I no longer had them, and it's only in recent years that mother dear told me what happened. She said that because I didn't play with them - I merely got them out of their boxes, looked them over, then put them back again - she decided to give the lot to my cousin (or was it cousins - I forget!).
Unexplained disappearances - which probably amount to things in the loft being thrown out with no notice taken of what they were - include Star Wars, Marvel and 2000AD comics.
So it's only dwarf-canon, then?
But the moon is neither - it was revealed in the Doctor Who to be an egg!
"Spacegoats? I haven't fired up goat simulator in a while, is that something new?"
That would have to be something by Jeff "Mutant Camels" Minter, wouldn't it?
'when I called the number it just said "Incoming calls not supported"'
Next time, bung the number into your search engine of choice. It might find the number listed on the relevant company's website, or maybe the search will lead you to one of the various sites dedicated to identifying the companies hiding behind non-geographic numbers (most especially those that make annoying sales calls).
Either way, there's a chance you'll be able to identify the company that owns the number, and from that work out how they got it. As gerdesj says, it might not be what you initially suspect.
"+1 for George Michael - but how old is he now? He must be in his fifties."

"the impact of the Commission's analysis is destructive of
consumer value our profits and we will oppose the proposed action vigorously"
There. Fixed it for them.
Password managers don't have to be run 'in the cloud' - they can be standalone applications running on your computer, and which should therefore continue running long after the developers have gone.
(I wouldn't touch a cloudy one with someone else's highly secured bargepole.)
Something nobody has commented on. Am I the only one who spotted it - or who didn't already know this information was stored on the card?
"With an easily obtainable reader and free software to decode data, they were able to read the card number and expiry date from all 10 cards. Limited details of the last 10 transactions were also exposed."
The Which? article merely says "We were also able to read limited details of the last 10 transactions" - so no more information there.
I'm a bit late reading this, and have yet to read about the discovery itself, but I'm just a touch confused.
They were saying that "astronomers are on the cusp of finding..." and set the time of the media call for 5PM.
I want to know how they were so damned sure they were going to find what they were on the cusp of finding by that time? What if they didn't find it until 5:07PM. Or even didn't find it at all?
They would've had egg on their faces then!
The other day, one of my brothers was proudly telling me about his new smart thermostat - I forget which brand, only that it wasn't Nest and was one I hadn't heard of (he described it as the "next one up from Nest"). It learns their behaviour patterns, learns how much time it takes to bring the house up to the right temperature, tracks where they are via GPS on their phones, and works out when they're heading home, etc.
I pointed out that because it's connecting to a remote server, there will always be a doubt about security (and that I would try to steer clear because of that). He just laughed and said "Who'd want to hack my thermostat?"
Way to miss the point - and the bigger picture - Bro. But I suppose it's new and shiny and you can show it off to people who aren't as cynical (and paranoid) as me in order to impress them.
2 and 3 are also possible attack vectors, of course.
To the person who didn't like my suggestion - don't you realise that the next one again could have been the iPad Do-do-dodo-do?
(Hey, El Reg, as well as a 'joke alert' icon, can we have a 'really, really bad joke alert' icon?)
I was going to be slightly sillier and suggest the iPad Minimini, but it's the same joke, really, so you've just beaten me to the punch by suggesting Nano. Have an upvote, you git. ;)
Yeah - it wasn't theirs so they got rid of it sharpish by giving it away to as many people as they could! :p
"Apple's distaste for
free streaming music anything that isn't theirs"
"Seriously, whats the point?"
Well, if I make a correction to this sentence from the article:
"Many companies have decided to give the expansion of internet endings a wide berth – leading to very disappointing sales figures for the companies that were hoping to cash in on the
expansion brand protection racket."
Does that help make the point of the new gTLDs clear?
And you'll only be able to use Apple approved parking spaces and toll roads/bridges. For which they'll get 30% of the fee.
(Yay! It's the old "If Microsoft made cars" meme reinvented!)
No, no. He's just resting.
It has seen some renovation work. I don't think the Banksy (as pictured) is still there, though. ISTR reading that it was too deteriorated to preserve in situ. I think it's in one of Bristol's museums now, but I don't know which. I could ask our creepy friend Google, but I can't be arsed.
Obvious joke is obvious: No icon was necessary.
"Then there are all the idiots who send me a RE: mail. You fail automatically because I always put a subject in my mail. The ones with RE: and a word are not better off because the word they choose is never one I would choose"
Usefully, these can be defeated by a very easy filter, provided you know your message-ID format. Your filter checks if the subject begins "re:" (or variations) and if there is a References or In-Reply-To header that ends with a message-ID that matches your format. If you're worried about the possibility of false positives, drop the results in a spam folder for the occasional once over.
"or cobbled ?"
I think you might have stumbled upon the ever mysterious step 2.
"Nb. So, what, he uses Gmail because it's free?? My superior provider charges me ~£5 a year."
Gmail may not necessarily be free, depending on how Torvalds and/or the Foundation use it - for UK pricing,
I'll they'll see your £5 per year and raise it to £3.30 or £6.60 per user per month.
I haven't checked those prices for myself - I've no intention of farming the email for any of my domains out to Google - but because of clients who seem to think Google's arse is the source of our sunshine.
"puppy.love - So many things you could put behind that"
Ewwwwww.... that's probably illegal in most parts of the world! ;)
hate.love - for those who like to tattoo their knuckles. (Though I think it should really be the other way around, like your Richard Curtis one).

In a mixed decision, the Supreme Court on Monday curtailed the Environmental Protection Agency's power to combat climate change by placing limits on its program that regulates emissions from power plants and factories.
In a 5-4 ruling, the court said the EPA could continue to treat greenhouse gasses as pollutants, and to therefore regulate them. However, it also held that the EPA could not extrapolate that power via the Clean Air Act to force some companies to go through a special permitting process solely because they release greenhouse gasses.
The decision does not impact the new EPA rules, announced earlier this month, which aim to cut emissions 30 percent by 2030. Jon Terbush
German Chancellor Angela Merkel will reportedly seek a fourth term in 2017, unnamed sources told German newspaper Der Spiegel. She's expected to officially announce her run in 2016, Politico reports.
Should Merkel win a fourth term, the first female chancellor would find herself right behind the longest-serving leaders in German history, Helmut Köhl and Otto von Bismarck.
There's no obvious successor in place and Merkel is popular in polls, so Politico reports her 2017 candidacy has been anticipated. Julie Kliegman
The NAACP kicked off a 40-day march through the U.S. South on Saturday meant to highlight issues of racial injustice in the country, Reuters reports. The Journey for Justice organizers started with a civil rights rally in Selma, Alabama, a city key to the civil rights movement of the 1960s.
The march was sparked by the many recent instances of police officers killing unarmed black men, including Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner in Staten Island, New York.
"We can continue to be serially outraged, or we can engage in an outrageously patriotic demonstration with a commitment to bringing about reform in this country," NAACP President Cornell William Brooks said.
Marchers will conduct teach-ins in Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia, as they make their way to Washington, D.C., for a final rally Sept. 16. Julie Kliegman
For years, scientists thought Africa's golden jackals to be the same as Eurasian golden jackals. Only one problem: the African ones turned out to not be jackals at all, The Huffington Post reports.
In a new DNA study published Thursday in Current Biology, researchers concluded that what they thought were jackals are actually African golden wolves, the first new species of canine found in Africa in 150 years, according to The Guardian.

The World Health Organization asked the International Olympic Committee to conduct tests for viruses on the water in Rio de Janeiro, the site of 2016's summer games, The Associated Press reports. The move comes days after an AP investigation found high levels of viruses and bacteria from sewage in the city's water, where open-water swimming and boating events will be held for 1,400 athletes.
The international Sailing Federation will also run independent tests for viruses in the water. One unique feature of Rio playing host to the Olympics is that the boating events are set to be contested unusually close to the rest of the action, offering good publicity to those sports and their athletes. But the venue could change if the waters are deemed unsafe. Julie Kliegman
Amazon employees aren't the only people aiming to ship things quickly via drone. Doctors are testing out the technology, too.
A study published Wednesday in the journal PLOS One reports early findings that it might be possible for doctors to send blood samples to laboratories from remote clinics up to 30 miles away. They ran 56 blood samples from healthy patients through common tests doctors order and found that the drone samples were preserved just as well as the ones that hadn't been airborne, Pacific Standard reports.
The Johns Hopkins University researchers say the next step could be testing the practice in remote regions of Africa. They'll also need to ensure drone flights perform equally well with blood from sick patients. Julie Kliegman
Rite Aid and Food Lion don't want minors in their store learning "25 Ways to Kiss a Naked Man," apparently. That is, you guessed it, a run-of-the-mill Cosmopolitan headline. The pharmacy and grocery chains announced Wednesday they'll shield minors from the horrors of sexual content by putting blinders on the magazine's cover, The New York Times reports.
The blinders will hide the cover's headlines, but not the magazine title or model. So not to worry, your kid can still gaze at barely naked women — he just can't read about them.
The move comes in response to a campaign against Hearst by the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, ironically started by William Randolph Hearst's own granddaughter, who does not have an official title at the company.
There's no word yet if other magazine-selling chain stores will follow suit. Meanwhile, the Times points out even racier covers routinely go unguarded. Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition, anyone? Julie Kliegman
The 12 Pacific Rim countries working in Hawaii to establish the biggest free trade deal in history failed to reach an agreement Friday, the end of their latest round of talks. The Trans-Pacific Partnership would cover 40 percent of the global economy.
Negotiators say significant progress was made, according to CNN, but there's no date set yet for the next round of talks. An agreement would lower trade barriers between the nations and encourage economic growth.
President Obama had all but ensured a deal would cruise through Congress, but with the 2016 presidential election on the horizon, if a deal is reached down the road, its fate would be less clear. Julie Kliegman
