There is something technical about Edge that the other browsers don't have - full hardware acceleration. Other browsers support hardware acceleration, but for some reason Edge seems to be doing it better than the rest. I guess because it's designed to only run on Windows 10, and so can take advantage of some of its more bleeding-edge functionality. This might make its way to other browsers eventually, but for right now Edge is doing something other browsers technically can't.
Or it's some "shitty game", and the real (possibly only) benefits of Edge don't exist. Whatever floats your boat, I guess.
"Completely undemocratic nature"? People vote for their MEPs, and the MEPs appoint the council. That is as democratic as it gets. The claims made by the leave bloc were demonstrated to be flat out lies. The results of the referendum will be played out in real life, not the concocted fantasy the leave campaigns claimed. An uninformed vote is not democratic - there is a lot more to democracy than people voting.
Stop making generalisations. Seriously. You'd solve most of your problems if you stopped dumping people into groups that fit how you perceive the world. It's not going to win you any friends or arguments.
Not a problem! Just create something like a sprinkler system, but instead of water it sprinkles guns. If a hostage taker takes some hostages, turn on the gun sprinkler and watch as the good guys with guns fix the problem.
And not to mention the police didn't protect the guy who fucked up - the whole system learned from what happened, and concrete steps were taken to ensure something similar doesn't happen again.
That "excess money" didn't include anything else in the discussion, namely the massive amount of EU nationals working in the NHS. Should they disappear, you'd need far more than £350m a week to shore up the NHS.
The EU pumped millions into training programmes across the UK, helping areas ignored by Westminster. The EU is good for everyone in Britain, regardless of your wealth. The problems people attributed to the EU were nearly entirely the fault of Westminster. For example, the immigration issue. Guess what? Britain was always in full control of its immigration. EU migrants wishing to live in the UK had to have job offers, or be self-sufficient. Non-EU immigration was always under full control of Westminster. Now, outside the EU, Britain will have to abide by the EU's freedom of movement laws, but will now have absolutely no say over what they are. So what did Britain gain? Nothing - it just gave away its ability to decide who gets to come to the UK. It is precisely the opposite of what the leave campaign promised.
Sorry. This whole debate (or lack thereof) really gets to me.
That amount is not being sent to the EU. The UK sends closer to £150m a week, and that does not include the amount of funding received from the EU. Thatcher worked very hard to decrease the amount of money the UK sent to the EU. The "£350M to the EU" can be checked, has been checked, and is complete nonsense. I sincerely hope you didn't vote in the referendum...
I guess you don't know that in the British parliament members from different parties are elected, and then those people select the prime minister? Either the EU and the UK are not democracies, or they both are. Pick one.
It doesn't particularly help your case when you don't know what "democracy" or "socialism" mean.
Ooooh I get it now. You have no idea what the EU does, how it consists of elected members from the member states, what "sovereignty" means, or the function of the EU courts. And yet here you are, proudly (yet anonymously - rather telling) proclaiming to the whole world that you simply don't understand it, and that you pine for earlier days where your nostalgia and bizarre sense of patriotism can skip merrily down country lanes while Dame Vera Lynn serenades you.
I hate to break it to you, but why "we" are in the EU to begin with has absolutely nothing to do with this. We can't turn back the time to 1975 and have a do-over. What we do know, however, is that the recovery of Britain since then is due in part to its EU membership. We do know with incredible certainty that Britain's manufacturing industry and seat of the world's financial capital are entirely due to being in the EU. Countries are entirely sovereign as they still have the last say in adopting the regulations - they can choose to not do so if they wish, at the expense of the benefits adopting them brings. This is really basic stuff and it seems you don't understand one iota of it.
You can read the entire proposal to find out what they intend to enact. This is how this stuff works. It's true, the bureaucrats are not tech-savvy, which is why they consult industry to find out about these things. I can't believe this needs to be explained to you. How you can argue against the EU when they have enacted some of the most stringent privacy laws the world has ever seen - designed precisely to protect users from the large companies desperate to harvest their data for nefarious purposes, is also beyond me. It's almost as if it's not the EU but your own imagined version of it that you are annoyed with. Did you accidentally get the EU and the Empire mixed up in your head?
Apart from the fact it has everything to do with cyber security and nothing to do with worming its way into the lives of every European. Protection of the people was exactly what people had in mind when signing up for the EU. Or are you really that ignorant of the EU? Amazing.
That is not a sensible thing as it drives undesirables to not adhere to the stereotype perpetrated by people like you, bypassing your wonderful attempt at security and inconveniencing the innocents caught up in your kneejerk panic attack.
No, but is under some of the most expensive real estate in the world, dodging bombs and plague pits as construction goes. It also shares subterranean London with the dozens of other tunnels running about. It's not exactly a dumb tunnel, and the comparison - while not entirely similar - is indeed still a valid comparison.
Because those fixed cameras are fixed, and so inherently entirely predictable. Their blind spots are obvious. They are also just normal visible-light cameras, as opposed to the thermal camera on the robot. The robot also has the distinct advantage of being able to do more than simply zoom in to something worthy of attention - it can actually go there and get the best possible look.
For your static cameras to be as functional as this robot, they would need to be on long extendable arms, flailing around, with a thermal camera and other extra sensors attached to them. At that point you might as well just put wheels on it, or just use the robot.
Yes, it's anonymous. Just like fingerprints can be. No-one can look at a fingerprint and know whose it is without also having an identified fingerprint. Get it?

Depriving someone of their property is stealing. It has nothing to do with someone getting something for free. Your understanding of this is comical.

Like how Gibraltar is currently dominated by the UK, but without the border controls the UK will make them have?

You really don't seem to understand this.
"More freedom" - not really. You weren't free to fly and not be exposed to smoke if you didn't want it.

It's not interchangeable though. Sure it's grammatically correct, but it's nonsense.

So it is dominating, just not by the rules you personally require for something to really be dominating.

So you don't understand what the hyperloop concept is. Thanks for clearing that up.

How is it clear cut? The criminal only drove at the guy because the guy was pointing a gun at him. So no, it's anything but clear cut.
... which triggers the alarm. You're really stretching.

Hence them using the far-more-easily-pronounceable "EichhÃrnchen"... :-P
