Equifax n. to screw up publicly and totally not to be confused with a Rattner.

Re: What is the matter...

The council unfortunately can do bugger all about it thanks to central government allowing Virgin, Openreach et all to bypass planning regulations.

Humm. I'm sure DNA had something to say about bypasses.

and hits the target

Government takes aim at foot, pulls trigger, and hits the target.

Only target they have hit.

Re: "there are downsides to codes of conduct"

Well there is a first time for everything, and here is the first time I have to agree with bombastic bob.I guess the thing here is did he treat everyone on the project equally If so then his personal prejudices should be irrelevant.

Re: IT snobbery

I left school at 16 with 3 O levels. I've spent the last 30 years of my life working in IT.

PS I don't work for Capita, you can't blame their crap code on me ::-)

Re: Is Machiavelli dead?

Vetinari never waisted talent if he could help it, the only words Vetinari would have said to Hutchens would be, 'Don't go'

Re: What an utter joke

I'd rather make fines based on a percentage of the highest paid board members total remuneration package * the number of calls.

That should make share holders look at fat cat salaries.

Och Aye!

Notwithstanding these rights and obligations, the User acknowledges that redistribution of the provided stable patches or changelogs outside of the explicit obligations under the GPL to User's customers will result in termination of access to future updates of grsecurity stable patches and changelogs.

I would say that the part I have highlighted is adding a restriction as to who I can redistribute the code to, as it creates two categories of people, those I can distribute the code to and continue to receive patches and those I can't.

Re: Marcus Hutchinson indictment

Re: This is a good thing

So you want Ronseal to launch a range of products:

This is Ronseal Shampoo, it cleans your heir.

This is Ronseal Dish Soap, it's soap that goes in a dish.

This is Ronseal Toothpaste, it cleans your teath

This is Ronseal Bar Soap, can you guess what it does yet.

that can only access white listed sites

So lets do this the simple way and white list domain names. All I now need is a DNS server on my Raspberry Pie redirecting disney.com to firfox.org and the world is once again my oyster.

Re: The Post-US Era...

I'm hoping China rather than Russia, China is more likely to give stability than Russia.

And these are the guys negotiating Brexit ?

No, no, no, these are the intelligent one's. It's the others negotiating Brexit.
