Can't you get Eben Moglen to sort them out? The guy talks a good game about how he's never seen the inside of a courtroom because he's sooooo scary, surely he'd put Dell in their place in short order?
Depending on your definition of "desktop", Microsoft has just taken themselves out of that market. It's just a pity that Shuttleworth jumped off the cliff two steps ahead of them. Fortunately, for every problem, there's a solution, and in this case it's called Mint.
Because unless you're talking heavily subsidised residential installations, PV is a wash economically. Environmentally, it remains a scam no matter (indeed, because of) how much you subsidise it to hide the costs.
Since when is two "dozens"? She was tazered by rent-a-cops[*] for buying two phones and attempting to buy another two, having seen Suzi Whitebread being sold more than that in store.
Good job on jumping to the same assumption as the "geniuses" in the Apple store though. Looks a bit foreign, probably buying for export, TAZZZER HERRRRR.
[*] Yes, literal rent-a-cops. These were actual cops taking a second salary for acting as Apple store security.
What on earth does her (professed) ethnicity or culture have to do with the issues at hand?
Is this some sort of extreme affirmative action argument where she doesn't have to follow - or possibly isn't able to comprehend - the White Man's law?
Sadly, it's essentially career ending for a politician to support funding for "crazy stuff" like asteroid detection or diversion. Perhaps if they claimed they'd received it as a revelation from their favourite brand of Invisible Sky Giant it might be considered rational though.
That's the argument we use for file "sharing", so let's not turn it on its head for tax. You want to earn it, make the argument for it.
There is no inherent merit to paying taxes. They are a necessary evil to fund useful public works, and should be kept to an absolute minimum. When States becomes bloated, inward looking, ever swelling monsters that squeeze the pips until they squeak, tax avoision becomes an act of moral rebellion.
Brits in particular tithe up to 75% of our "income" to the State, when you factor in income tax, national insurance, council tax, water and sewerage rates, VAT, insurance tax, parking fees, and fuel and customs duty on everything imported or moved around. And that "income" is what employers can afford to pay us after they pay all of their protection money to the biggest racket in town.
So good on Microsoft and Google and Amazon and all the other companies who are throwing two fingers up at the grasping State. Let it wither and die, as long as it rots from the head down.
I could (but won't, because I signed That Act) mention a few safety critical applications that are still running on NT 3.51 and will be until they can no longer source hardware on which it will run.
The point - which if you look, way, way up, you may be able to see - is that the issue is also hidden from bean counters and decision makers until things actually grind to a halt.
Pre-emptive switching relies on techies to push it proactively. As one such, I have to admit to being IPv6 phobic. I like the simple dotted IPv4 addresses, they're familiar, they're comfortable, they are memorable and communicable - ever tried shouting an IPv6 address to across the room to Alice?
The significant difference is that those are enforced at significant cost via the real criminal justice system, with that pesky presumption of innocence, the fines go into central government coffers, and prosecution costs are only haphazardly awarded.
Parking and many moving violations go via the Kangaroo Kourts - PATAS and TPT - with a presumption of guilt. Most victims cave in and pay up early doors, and the money goes into the council's pocket, via their outsourced muggers.
Parking is a racket, it has been for decades, and despite the occasional token reverse, it looks like continuing in that vein.
The Data Protection Act only allows disclose for the purposes of "prevention and detection of crime". With parking enforcement now run as a cash cow, outsourced to Parking Pataweyo, and overseen by the Kangaroo Kourts, the DVLA shouldn't be handing out our personal information to any mugger with a lettehead who pays their access fee.
The Information Commissioner needs to be sinking his teeth into this racket, hard.
If by that you mean disassembling the face of the lock, plugging the widget in shoving the magic electrons in.
You know what else works "in seconds"? A $10 crowbar, 100% of the time.
It's a ridiculous nerd-rage non-issue, given that to work the hack you'd have to be on site for an extended period, cool as a cucumber, looking and acting like a member of staff. You might as well be staff, and that's where the real vulnerability is, and always will be.

You know that "only obeying orders" doesn't work as a defence, right?

You can ride a bicycle on a cloudy day, or at night.
The Mujahackeen are the moral equivalent of the Founding Fathers of alt.2600.
Just so we're all clear, if your answer involves "the cloud" then you didn't understand the question.

No. Stop this. Stop it right now.
And the UK - and therefore the Baby Jesus - uses 999 for that reason.
However, it's also easy to dial it accidentally, especially from your pocket, which is the argument against it.
Obviously over your city, not mine.

Shoulder roll.
One of those "real" religions, all of which are 100% factually based on the words of an invisible sky giant?
Casino is an interesting word, when one of the potential solutions (to these worthless parasites) is to introduce random delays to all transactions.

Of course it's Broken Window. Government says "job creation", all I hear is "paid for by your taxes, chump".

Then maybe you should have invested in condoms rather than fibre optics.

I'd imagine it's "no access for private business, but indefinite retention for State purposes".
The thought of the EUSSR allowing worker units to hide their activities is just hilarious.
This is entertainment, please treat it as such.
Indeed, don't these demands tends to come with "and if you tell anyone we've asked, you win a free one way trip to Guantanamo Bay" condition attached?
