    Just put 2 RFID cards in the same wallet and you're guaranteed they will not work. Yes, I'm looking at you London Oyster card.

    You know that map misses most of Europe right? It doesn't even show all of Western Europe as it claims.

  16. Re:they are paying taxes on Amazon, Google and Apple Won't Need To Pay Tax, Despite Goverment Threats · · Score: 2

    In the EU sales tax is applied in the source country. Companies like Amazon are often based in countries like Luxembourg because of low sales tax rates. The UK government gets no sales tax from Amazon sales (even though the goods are ordered from a co.uk website and shipped from UK warehouses).

    Amazon must employ plenty of stackers and shippers though.

  21. Multiuser tablets on UK Gov To Investigate 'Aggressive' In-app Purchases · · Score: 1

    Isn't part of the problem that most popular tablets/phones are single user only? Android only recently added this feature in 4.2 and iOS is (AFAIK) single user only.

    Having a different login for the kids would solve the problem.

  22. Re:And why not ? on Jedi May Be Allowed To Perform Marriage Ceremonies In Scotland · · Score: 1

    The same is true in England. I've been to a few weddings held in hotels.
