    the overall concept is good.

    The concept of not separating content & behaviour by shoving it all in the same file?

    I have two teams in different countries, 16 people in total for now.

    That's nice, dear.

    Are these the ones where people pay you to let them work there because it looks good on their resumés, despite the fact that nobody's heard of them?

    I've had Nautilus on Linux do it sometimes.

    There's an "eject anyway" button but on my version it doesn't work.

    The physical damage occurs when you go "Oh, fuck!" and try to ram it back in before the computer notices.

    I think it's not easy to get more state/government-run propaganda outlet than that.

    Are you saying that the government actually exercises direct editorial control to the level of, say, choosing the guests on The One Show?

    The police are funded by government too, but they make their own decisions to investigate him or let her of with a caution.

    P.S. *Our* security agency? Such assurance when you're wrong points clearly to the other side of the Atlantic.

  13. I think some of these laws date back to the days of copper wire telephones, i.e. video wasn't really a thing[1].

    That's why you hear phrases like "illegal wiretap" where there's no wire being tapped.

    [1] Before any aspie mentions movie cameras, those were so big that anyone being filmed would know about it.

  14. Actually making a statement about what is or isn't actually legal without an actual geographic reference is actually quite stupid.

    that's a pretty rude thing to do, leaving behind a mess for people unqualified to deal with it.

    It's also pretty rude to fire an entire team and replace them with offshore monkeys, but it happens all the time. This is just the reflection of that - his obligation ends at the last paycheck.

    It also means the guy is an arrogant hack and unsuitable for teamwork.

    I can't comment on the specifics from a technical POV because I don't know the details - and neither do you. As for the personal attack, he might have got cancer and decided to use his remaining time travelling for all we know. Even if he was just jumping ship for a better offer, why is that wrong?

    Where does it say "only kids" in TFA? But anyway, adults earn it, so they know the value of it, and have a better idea of whether the shiny thing is good value or not. Generally, that is.

    But attacking the weak link is nothing new, "pester power" was an established phrase in the 1980s.

    Maybe when you're sending a death threat about butterflies in a game, you might be the bad guy....

    I assumed it was about the horridly racist & misogynistic title. And it would have been totally justified too!

  23. It's not like you could have, say, a board that's independent and supervises it or something.

    And last I heard judges were paid by the government and yet they regularly rule against it.

    Maybe things are different where you come from. Or maybe people are.

  24. Last time I watched the BBC - they had it on at a downtown bar - it seemed exactly the same as CNN.

    Either you were drunk or it was early afternoon (GMT) and you were watching Justin's House.

    It's an easy mistake to make.
