Re: A Safe Haven, Zuck

I think you missed the pearl 'Lead for Heavenly SuperVisor Provision'. amfm1 forever.

Re: VAT

Technicalities aside (looking at the downvoters of OP), 'None of this grandstanding considers the obvious counter-strategies the digital companies will adopt.'. Any arguments?

Amen brother--but you're speaking to the converted (no pun intended).

Re: Michael Faraday got my vote...

Sounds great! How do I test the theory of tectonic plates for myself?

Re: So not, Google

The thing that really struck me is the association of 0.1% with the word 'tiny'. Design-by-telemetry will make 'advanced technology' a big fucking joke, and we'll be wondering why we gave up the simple life of cattle, spears, a warm fire--no stupid decency laws requiring us to bow down to Gucci and the likes--and periodic wars when the good life increased our numbers excessively (where we can die a soldiers death instead of being subjected to mental examination because we haven't elbow room to enjoy the fruits of nature), before the year 2030.

Dear Google,

Normal developers are happy with 1 user of their software. You are willing to turn your back on--at a guess--close to a million users who think Javascript is a piece of (I'd say codswallop but I'd feel compelled to look that up first) whatever is left over after the vultures (hi El Reg, no offence) and hyenas have had to look for other prey.

Sincerely,

Someone who needs a better alias

Re: Summation

"Could there be a better description of capitalisms failure?"

Downvoters of this must've been paid.

Re: If not I will deport the videotape to all your contacts.

I beg to differ... SSD's need defragging just as much as a spinning platter drive--just that the order of magnitude of access means you don't notice the fragmentation. Also the writes required would deteriorate the life.

Have you never heard of memory fragmentation?

@Doctor Syntax Re: And all we can do...

You probably have a better education than me, judging by your posts. I've been playing catch-up over the last decade or so with gutenberg, archive.org and wikipedia. One thing is certainly plain to me--Britain is in a cleft stick.

Having climbed to the peak, it is a jump to certain death either way. Have another referendum and you can never take your Parliament at their word again--unless the referendum was as plainly stated as ‘Did you vote in the last referendum and do you believe you were misguided when doing so?' And if yes, what else than to sack parliament?

Instability lies in your future. Instability lies in my present though (former colony which cut off its nose to spite its face). Our Parliament have never followed through, and we all just wait for the next step down the ladder of anarchy. You're welcome to come here, but Englishmen are not much liked (word of mouth, you know).

Re: Wrong person is announcing this

Branch-readiness "targeted" is the new beta.

Re: Barcelona?

Chronology though?

@unimaginative

Unfortunately Atheist most often means Antitheist. If you argue ... let the labelling begin!

African or European?

@Tigra 07 Re: Their ideo of racism is probably different from yours...

"Free speech must remain paramount"

Amen to that! And if you are not going after all other potential platforms for those holding extreme views, you're simply displaying a pantomime. And if you are ... (*).

* Are we allowed to debate this here El Reg? I'm only about 6 years from getting my badge so wouldn't want to risk it based simply on a hypothetical debate which might offend someone.

Re: it's its not it's

Here you go, it's Christmas soon.

I think I just plagiarised an earlier commentard, so you may return the favour.

Re: 99 percent

"... to sell OR to insult ..."

What's the breakdown?

Re: Move on, move on, nothing to see here....

This is Madness!

You know that's not what is meant by zero emissions.

Not so sure that's fair... like if I said, "you know that people believe zero emission means green, and green means good for the environment." Maybe you don't. Maybe they don't.

"if found guilty"

I don't think that matters anymore - your career is doomed if someone 'higher' than you points a finger at you. Then the media-machine takes over and no-one will ever admit to liking your work even if acquitted.

Err, yes... sometimes it is. Agreeing with Mr. Disgusted above that 'expired' and 'invalid' are (very) different. The latter means MITM is trivial - in the former case only with the domain owner's private key.

Re: 1.5

Weird. Two opposing views, both only with upvotes.

Wouldn't want to spoil that; this post is magnanimously given to the impulsive downvoters.

(BTW I agree with the first poster, but isn't it always thus?)

Damn I just upvoted you!

Re: I guess, yeah, His Muskiness is kinda --

As above, not to knock the comment otherwise - but how do you break a rating system like that?

If you are referring to McHardy you'll need to do some more homework. He is far from 'the competent one' - more like a vampire.

Re: HMRC, I salute you!

Two commentards have (thus far) failed your IQ test, methinks!

Re: Not only for fatalities

"... riding a bicycle in a manor ..."

What if it's my bloody manor?

Re: Tax

Name your country of origin, @Rono666! Then I'll decide my vote.

Details

It may help the more skeptical reader to have the details:

Same as English. But we've been taught (at least I was) to use "Sir / Madam", "His / Her", etc...

ah, I see you may have read it incorrectly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Od1f0IjMyo

Re: Size matters?

Didn't know that was only around here.

Re: A bit off - tips and corrections

@AC that was a bit more than a typo though. And I think some of us reading such an error here will wonder, "is it just me?"

Re: @ fred 32

Okay, I'll accept that comment with regards autism. However, read my comment again: I'm not in favour of quotas.
