  1. European broadband on Ask Slashdot: When and How Did Europe Leapfrog the US For Internet Access? · · Score: 0

    When - it crept up on us, so dunno. Ours is way cheaper, too. Why - as everyone else says, competition plus government encouragement at every level from parish councils competing to be the first to get superfast broadband, to EU level. Within the last couple of hours, BT has announced the rollout of 500Mbps to our adjacent town, Huntingdon. Even my rural village has 40-ish. But no mobile reception.

  2. Grrrr on EU Court Holds News Website Liable For Readers' Comments · · Score: 0

    I can't be bothered to read through all the subcomments to see if anyone else has made this point, but the European Court of Human Rights is NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with the EU, being a court set up to police the European Convention on Human Rights, a treaty that came into force before the EU/EC/EEC existed and created by the Council of Europe, a body that has *nothing to do with the EU at all*. Morons. And you're in good company - politicians who should know better trip over this one every day and it makes me very angry. /rant

    Btw, is that the EA Blair I think it is?

    Your taxes are also paying for this lupus sufferer (assuming your social democracy is my social democracy), who would be uninsurable in the US. I have a friend in the US who was diagnosed as having breast cancer at about the time her annual premium came up for renewal, and was instantly dumped by her insurance company.

    I think they would qualify as social democracies, not socialist countries.

  6. Re:The best part of the article is at the bottom on N. Carolina May Ban Tesla Sales To Prevent "Unfair Competition" · · Score: 0

    'Have people that don't understand law at all be the ones responsible for making our laws?' People who don't understand the law are the ones voting for the legislature...

  7. Re:oh cool.. on New Pope Selected · · Score: 0

    Difficult to imagine what isn't the stuff of fantasy literature about the Swiss Guard in their stripey clothes carrying curly halberds. And I don't mean Dan Brown.

  8. H8 on Windows 7 Still Being Sold On Up To 93% of British PCs · · Score: 0

    I can believe it - bought son a new laptop two weeks ago and John Lewis was swarming with people all asking for (and not getting) Windows 7. So we acquired Windows 8 and it took the whole household, and Google, to find such essential features as *shutting the damn thing down*.

  9. Twitteratus on Judge Rules Defense Can Use Trayvon Martin Tweets · · Score: -1

    Because Zimmerman was so taking the kid's Tweets into account when he decided to shoot him.

  10. Posthumous Prizes on 3 Share Nobel Prize In Medicine For Immune System Work · · Score: 0

    If they give Steinman his prize, might they give Rosalind Franklin hers? A longer period of deceasedness, I admit (okay, fifty-three years) but she damn well deserves one.

  11. Simples on Ask Slashdot: Best Connect Scheme For a 2-ISP Household? · · Score: 1
