All taxes go into the consolidated fund. Out of that, MOST of the money goes to pay part interest on loans made on behalf of the British Government through the five largest banks in Europe. I say part interest because the arrangements are such that the loans will NEVER be paid off because the interest rates alone exceed the GDP of the entire nation. The Royal Family actually receives very little money from the public purse (shy of £40 million this year). Most Royal income comes from the Duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall.
Three UK have always had an adult content filter defaulted to "on". You had to either call CS and giver over a credit card (not a debit card for some reason) number to "verify" your age, or go into a store to have a salesdroid unlock your account.
My question concerns the current fad of networking everything AKA "The Internet of (every)Thing/s". I'm not going to bug you with TFH-ish crap like the constant irradiation of the air all around us 24/7, that shit gets old really fast and debates on it go nowhere.
Are you concerned about what appears to be being overlooked, that being the security of information such things as digital thermostats and timers (like Hive), GDOs, water and power meters, larder fridges, cookers, TiVO and smart TVs, etc., transmit over the air on an almost continuous basis via wifi and/or Bluetooth, and cell networks (in the case of Hive)?
Airgapping the the complete physical isolation of a computer from ANY network. A computer in a closed Faraday cage with its own power generation inside the cage (like say a battery in a laptop) is the ONLY situation in which a system lacking ANY type of wireless or wired network connection including but not limited to Bluetooth, Wifi, Infrared, Serial, Modem or Cat5, can be in any way considered airgapped.
something with a very long, low-thrust burn such as DS1's ion propulsion* and enough fuel to run for half a century maybe, Voyager 1 left the Sun's influence last year - nothing launched from Earth will ever catch it using gravity assists. New Horizons might be travelling at twice the speed of Voyager right now but it's not even 40AU out, by the time it gets to apoapse it'll be travelling slow enough to drop back - it's in a 100AU heliocentric orbit.
*the Dawn spacecraft, currently in orbit around Ceres, also uses ion propulsion - the same NSTAR 2100W engine as DS1, in fact.
some phones have higher screen resolution than my netbook.

I won't count iPhone 6S because while it has 1080p physical screen resolution, it uses just ninth of that area for point mapping and then extrapolates by 3x to fill the screen using a rasterisation process, just like every other iphone before it. Ostensibly to reduce the memory load. Yeah, I had to read that twice as well.
I mean, it "gave" you cancer. You didn't suddenly, out of sheer nothing-else-to-do-ness, develop it. You were gifted a strange growth by an immaterial stream of information.
Would that we all were so lucky as you, this world would be a happy, if tumorous, place.
subscription-based information portals are often referred to as "paywalls". Softawre that installs third party components such as searchbars, BHOs, keyloggers and IRC clients without the users knowledge or consent are referred to as "scumware". This is coercive advertising, that basically forces you into at least sampling what they have to offer if you want access to the information you asked for. This should be called "Scumwall".

um... just no.

you don't have children, do you?
uh... I did a search for "ALS" one time, the top link wasn't a website about Lou Gehrig's Disease.
Holy fucking shit, Sylvia Saint has the roundest tits in existence.
they can't root out paedophiles in the BBC or Westminster.
Would they be Class C, Class D? Be specific, I'm trying to figure out how long a Cree would last connected in series to a three bar electric fire.
turning a Reliant Robin into a fucking space shuttle. And actually launching it.
if Clarkson had been caught with his cock in a six year old girl, he'd still have his job and we wouldn't have heard fuck all about it.

Thank you, come again.

this a slow news day? The list was crafted in 2009!
I'll have some o' that!

and this is why I am now setting my default browsing score at +1. Fuck off and die in a fire, APK.
I've never dropped a mod point, whatever that is, in my life. This is my only account. So get yourself a fucking UID so I can block your arse.
I stand enlightened, they do indeed have an OAED.
damn.
At least I can claim that 1GB of hard drive space back...
it's a term in biology referring to the space between membranes.
I'd install a slashdot app but only if you'll like my cat pictures.

well, wasn't that just incredibly generous of it?
