    Luckily for IBM they deal with people that don't have a clue what they want and are quite happy to pay huge sums for some garbage written by IBM's offshore teams..

    So the US backed Shah wasn't authoritarian then. Glad that's cleared up.

    Ah right so if the contract is broken you have to spend time and money suing the other party. Sounds awesome. Especially if they're much richer than you.

    Russia won't stay small but we will certainly be pushed around by the USA and China in a way that they can't do to the EU. Unless of course you think Mr Trump is a very nice man who'll give us a wonderful deal.

    Brexit is stupid. Wrecking the economy for some nebulous "taking back control". We'll be told what to do by the US, Russia and China rather than having a seat at the top table of the world's biggest free trade area.

    The US government deciding it doesn't like the results of democratic elections has led to a lot of authoritarian governments.

  10. There was a lot more to it than that. Microsoft had a long history of attacking anything that threatened their market position and were rightly sanctioned for it.

    Putin wants us to leave. Why would he try and game a poll asking for a second referendum?

  14. Re: Too little credit on Online Petition Site Crashed By Millions of 'Cancel Brexit' Signers (time.com) · · Score: 1

    The arguments against leaving center mostly on the transition, and not the end result. It's always what will happen "in the next 6 months" or "in the following year" and whatnot. No one will admit that the UK could voluntarily implement all the agreements it currently has with the EU - such as unrestricted travel between nations - and there would be little hardship.

    That is true. Unfortunately that isn't what's being done.

    The Brexit voters are going to be hugely disappointed to find that the changes in culture are nothing to do with the EU and will not stop once we leave.
