UK to hold public consultation on social-media troll prosecutions

Crisp

So where exactly are they drawing the line?

Offence is subjective. Telling one person that they suck might be construed as a criticism, to another person, it might be an offensive put down.

Re: Get rid of Internet Explorer

Thanks for trying help, but I develop in a windows environment, so that doesn't really count as a getting rid of IE solution.

Re: "communications by any means involving the use of electrical or electro-magnetic energy"

A Marconiphone and some wax discs would be perfect!

But it doesn't side step using electrical or electro-magnetic energy to make the recording so I'd probably have to record that somehow as well.

"communications by any means involving the use of electrical or electro-magnetic energy"

I'm pretty sure that my tongue interprets electrical signals from my brain to facilitate communications.

How the hell do I go about recording that?

Got a BMW? Thicko thieves can EASILY NICK IT with $30 box

Certain criminal threats - do not exist when cars are designed

They certainly do.

An unsecured "back door" into the system is a definite no no. The threat was a clear and present when the car was in the design stage!

Thinking about it from the point of view of physical keys and locks: What good is a car with a sold lock on each door if all a potential criminal has to do to get in is pop the hood?

Online dole queue tech 'not grounded in reality', say councils

The DWP doesn't have a very difficult job.

Hand out money to people looking for work. It's hardly rocket science!

They could probably afford to pay twice what they do now in benefits if they sunk more money into doing what they actually do, rather than spending it on flavour of the month ICT systems.
