Leaving the EU will not be the end of the world. Look at the closest countries that are not members either: Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Canada. All of them are quite livable places.
Get serious. The total number of card-payed consumer purchases has peak hours of approx 500 transactions per second in my country alone. Nobody is going to have their mobile phone mine blocks at that rate all day long. It is going to be offloaded to a provider that will sort out all the transactions and keep track of your assets. If that isn't a bank, then what is?
Last year we implemented a Jpeg-2000 compliant encoder/decoder pair in my company. The jpeg2000-stardard has nothing in common with the original (and common) jpeg format. It uses algorithms that were considered computationally too expensive in the 80s. Now they are acceptable, and they yield improvements in the magnitude that StuffIt know announces.
BTW: contrary to factal-based compression and other proprietary formats, the IP-situation is unproblematic for standard-complying implementations.
There used to be a "security" bit you could use to mark you packets as especially interesting (the do-not-route-thru-Iraq-bit) [rfc 791]. Is that feature obsoleted by this evil?
Kristen was a man who always had a lot of interesting and well thought through things to say.
His academic contributions will be commented on by computer professionals, and his political contributions will be commented on by politicians. Those who knew him know that he always regarded his work with politics and science as parts of an integrated whole. A fairly recent article where he sums up his work can be found
here. Quite interesting (as always).
Interesting line of thought from MSFT, it can in fact be applied to any market:
Less competition, higher prices, more government income.
Hey, what if the government OWNED all the corporations too, then they also would receive the profits!
Now, we're talking....

a similar technology to what has been used in diesel-electric trains for about 100 years.
