The asymmetric extradition deal between the UK and the US looks like this...
The US can extradite some one from the UK if they are merely ACCUSED of a crime in the US.
The UK can extradite someone from the US only if they are actually FOUND GUILTY of a crime in the US.
Until Micro$oft stops pretending that Linux (and therefore Android) are using their patents or are at least willing to say just which patents these are it's just more Micro$soft bullsh*t. When words and actions disagree, believe the actions.
The aim isn't to stop terrorists, that's just the excuse. The aim is to get as much control over the UK population as possible just in case they start actually thinking for themselves and start ignoring the Daily Fail, Express, Sun, Torygraph etc. right-wing, establishment, pro-oligarch propaganda.
My first was a Z80 based Nascom 2 in the UK. Supplied as a motherboard, a bag full of chips and a bare Hall-effect keyboard. I'd like to say I assembled it myself but I chickened out and got the suppliers (Henry's) to assemble it for me.
The Nascom never made the big time, mainly because it only came as self-assembly and was UK based where there simply wasn't enough of a market but it was one hell of a machine for it's day with a huge 2K operating system - source code supplied!
Meanwhile here in the UK. Ex-PM Tony Blair reckons that the watered down FOIA he implemented was the worst decision he made - and that includes the Iraq war - and the current incumbents are doing their best to water it down even further. They'd scrap it completely if they could but even the Daily Fascist^Mail would complain if they did.
Having stolen the concept (projecting a human mind into an alien body on on alien world) from a 1960's SF short story and picked another remake of a standard plot, the only thing Avatar had going for it was the hot sh*t CGI (oh, and a lot of marketing hype).
Yes, be nice to see this junked but it just won't happen. Should Labour take over at the next election, whatever moral stance Corbyn takes, he'll be forced top keep it by the "security services", full backed by the power brokers in his own party. The Tories will definitely keep it because it's just part of their on-going Big-Brother state act.
In fact, the whole of MS-Office. It doesn't matter how crap it is so many businesses are based on it and if that's what you use all day at work it's what you want on your home PC as well.
It's the lack of MS-Office that stops a whole bundle of businesses from running Linux (or even Macs for that matter)
So now the British taxpayer's money will go out of the country to (possibly) New Zealand whereas it used to go into other British taxpayers pockets who paid British taxes which went back into the British Treasury. Straight Thatcherism con-job - sounds like you're getting a bargain but we're giving your money to strangers.
Yes your career IS at a dead end except with your current employer - pretty well no other company will look at you if you're over 30 - the only thing that would make it worse would be being a woman.

The way Micro$oft usually works isn't embrace usually followed by extinguish?

As far as Amber Rudd is concerned anyone who disagrees with her isn't a "real" person anyway. See https://www.craigmurray.org.uk...

Happier Than Their Office-bound Counterparts! - better stop it now then.
It's hardly headline news when a CEO doesn't accept responsibility for something

More marketing drivel

A promise from a CEO is pretty much the same as a promise from a politician.

It's not as if it's COBOL that's actually running on the computers, it's a compiled language FFS, so what's actually running is machine code!
I don't want to worry you but take a look at Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Nuclear Weapons (HBO) on https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
