This is the case on quite a few fronts. I was working for a television station in NZ a few years ago, and they were literally throwing out Beta tapes of original programming.
Also, classic staples for us nerds such as Le Monde Englouti (Spartacus and the sun beneath the sea), some episodes simply don't exist anymore in the english dub.
Wonder how long it will take for someone to implement a "rent a crowd" service to boost popularity of a location. This time it's First Life rather than Second.
Or you can take the American "too big to fail" model, appeal to the government and just print more money. See? Quantative easing solves all of our problems. Nothing to see here!
I also love seeing the comments "The will of the people." Let's keep in mind that leave was 52% to 48%. Although it is an outcome to leave by the measure of democracy, it's hardly a decisive result. Furthermore, if you care to look up the most common Google search term in the UK on the Friday after the Brexit vote, you'll find it's "What is the EU?".
If the plebiscite was run again, it is likely to be a completely different result again. Right now, London, Scotland and Ireland seem to strongly want to remain.
I can understand why the Brexiteers are running another large campaign now showing "how good the economy is" and don't succumb to "project fear".
Are you really sure the plebiscite was a reflection of the will of the people, or the fear of the people?
Never underestimate the power of Xenophobia to control a populace.
I for one now see why all the Brexiteer crowd have piped up saying how fantastically wonderful Brexit will be for the economy, and how "leading think tanks" (still to find out who and or what was put in the tank) have come to the conclusion that Brexit will allow Britain to be better positioned, essentially having access to the EU market, whilst not being bound by EU rule.
The truth of the matter is that although the economy is somewhat rebounding like a dead cat does, Britain has not yet Brexited.
Ladies and gentlemen, reality is yet to come. Until now it is but pure speculative noise.

I wonder how many Linux people have two friends to infect?
Necessity drives innovation.
Pfft. Been done before on VHS.

Creepy voice:"Seven days..."
We have always been at war with East Asia.
More important question. Does the kangaroo care?
Just wait until someone cracks the data store and some interesting surveillance information is made public. Repeal the law now old chaps?
They don't teach you that in Brawndo appreciation class.

What are you talking about? Salespeople have had AI for years.
Artificial Idiocy is rife in those circles.
$500 corn tastes better too!
Yeah, and what robots are going to repair the repair robots?
And don't tell me it's turtles all the way down. Eventually you hit tortoise and a SVN repository.
New World order based out of Kazakhstan for sure. It's a very nice.
This isn't unique. Slashdot is run by VERY NICE PEOPLE.
So in other words, 40% of people are willing to give up being screwed in exchange for not being screwed.

So that's what the i stands for.

Yes, radiation is often illustrated with a lime green.

But, it's the DARK WEBS man. That always strikes fear into the hearts of the uninitiated.

I'm just waiting until the over reaction to reactive programming leads to developers being over reactive programming.
Nothing like shooting yourself in the foot, and then doing it again in the other foot just for good measure.
Just as long as your foot is firmly planted on the right person's neck at the time.
Exactly, the pen is mightier than the sword! Will someone think of the children having to witness these horrors!
I think that depends strongly on the definition of ostrich!
