Re: "headquartered in Newbury"

Jolly good old chap

Again please let

the punishment fit the crime. Ive I spray painted a massive cock on a government building would I get 12 years in jail. Probably just a fine and community service.

Web defacement is the same except it takes less hard labor to clean it after. If he did hack it, he has the skills to fix the mess, fine him and make him fix the web site as community service.

FFS - I could kill someone with my car and get less jail time.

To much following the Americans lead on this who also need to Get a fucking clue about proportional sentencing.

Re: Depressing

100% agree. Trying to teach my dad to use Google is impossible. Hes an electric engine by trade but can't understand key words searching.

Training goes like this:

Me: Dad what are you looking for?

Dad: Holidays in Spain?

Me: OK, type holidays in Spain in the box.

follows him typing very slowly with is index finger.

Me: OK, see all these links on the right, ignore them their ad's same goes for the ones at the top.

Dad: whats a link?

I give up and just create loads of short cuts on his desktop for Gmail, Thomson holidays and the like.

Not forgetting that he and my mum some how think the password they use in work for work email is the same as the Gmail account I set up for them, and its some how the computer and my fault.

Re: withdraw from doing business in Australia

All to right "we wont invest in your country" or "we will take our businesses elsewhere" is total bull sh*t.

Only solution is global corp tax 15% everywhere! problem solve.
