Sorry, this belongs below, in response to the comment about the result being the majority of English voters. Scotland, Northern Ireland and London voted firmly to remain.
Not even that - a narrow majority of the votes cast, which on a 70% turnout approximates to 36% of the electorate. There is (or soon will be) a 40% threshold for strikes in health, education and transport to be valid. So a level of support that cannot even validate a one-day strike by, say, teachers, is sufficient to jeopardise Britain's prosperity, territorial integrity and foreign relations?
Actually, in the EU the main decisions are taken by the Council of Ministers, composed of (elected) government representatives from each of the member states. The commission is simply a civil service that implements the decisions.
That was his point- at least, in the talk at IP Expo; it hasn't made it so well to the article. The goal is to make effective malware harder and more expensive to write
this is not the first protest of its kind they have executed. On previous occasions, when emergency services needed access, they cleared the road in seconds. Those cabs are much more manoeuvrable than they look.
More likely the (Spanish) EU commission president would look very unfavourably on Scottish membership, considering the boost that would give to the independence ambitions of Catalunya and the Basque country. And would it stop there? What about Sicily, Lombardy, Bavaria...? That's the thinking behind the reluctance to see the UK divided within the EU.
You'd be surprised; a 10-foot wide sewer passes right through the Olympic park in London. I remember thinking that a small (non-lethal) bomb in the right place during last year's Games would raise a hell of a stink
As far as many coffee lovers are concerned, the real reason not to drink Kopi Luwak is the same as the reason not to eat foie gras or white veal: animal welfare. If you pick up the beans that have been 'selected' by civets in the wild, that's one thing; but to cage the civets like battery hens and feed them any old coffee beans in the hope of achieving premium prices is rather different.
I don't buy it. Yes, a laptop with full disk encryption takes a bit of time to boot (mine, a Dell Latitude D630, has just taken 3 minutes including the initial decryption dialogue) but a desktop system will boot faster. If 7 minute boot times where I work were common, our help desk would be inundated with angry calls every morning and the IT director besieged by demands for the service to be fixed.
I'm not sure about that £6000 figure - which was the cost, by the way, not just maintenance - but numbers like that tripping from the tongues of senior managers who may or may not be in touch with the real details are always suspect in my view.

No, Trump
Off by 70 years, if you are referring to the Catholic-Protestant conflict of the 17th century, usually known as the 30 Years' War

Cooling in machine rooms might have had something to do with it. Try wearing a Sixties-style sleeveless dress in a computer room or data hall today
Probably never, since they have diplomatic immunity. At best they could PNG them.
Ah, Winnersh. If it's always summer in California, it is always February on Winnersh Triangle station

Yes, you're wrong. The Arabs are supposed to be descended from Ishmael. It was the Edomites who were descended from Esau.
Murdoch doesn't own the Daily Mail. Yet.

Ground coffee goes stale in minutes. Good hand coffee grinders are available quite cheaply.
As for the mess, try an Aeropress. Very quick and easy to clean up.

But they showed up in the wrong place, and clearly didn't know where to go
The roundabout of roundabouts is the M25. Also doubles as a car park.

My Chambers from 1983 lists 'catched' as obsolete or dialect; also 'catchen', which to my ear sounds better.
I think you will find there is a certain amount of irony in the name.
You know irony - like goldy and bronzy, but made of iron.
Hear, hear. And it's not just Starbucks; in the UK the two other major chains, Costa and Nero, are little different.

Like the GOP?

I can't think of any way that an attacker would use this for nefarious purposes
