The government wants everyone to file their taxes online. If they want to make that a requirement, then they need to make sure everyone has internet access.
They are one of the big four telecoms / internet companies in the UK. The others are BT, Sky and Virgin. I believe they are the second largest in the internet market, Sky is bigger because it also does satellite TV.
The question is not whether they are dominant in the streaming video sector, obviously they are not. The question is whether the are dominant in another sector, and using that dominance to move into the streaming video sector. Microsoft for example was not at all dominant in web-browsing software when the bundled Internet Explorer with Windows.
No, the point is that people in other parts of the world pay a lot more for gas. So once these export facilities are built, the market price in the US would be the much higher global market price, less the $2.15 cost of exporting it.
In Britain for example, some of our gas comes from the North Sea, and rest is imported, either by pipeline from Russia, but they aren't very reliable and we try to avoid them, or alternatively we import it as LNG from places like Qatar.
To give you an idea, in the US, gas costs about $2.36 per MMBtu, in Europe it is and $6.15 and in Asia it is $9.10. So obviously anyone who can buy gas at $2.36, ship it across the Pacific and sell it for $9.10 stands to make a lot of money.
Gas will stop being super-cheap when the export facilities are completed and companies can sell it on the international market for a lot more than it is currently being sold for in the US.
Baroness Harding of Winscombe studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford. I doubt she even knows what encryption is. She certainly doesn't know the difference between a DDOS attack and an SQL injection attack.
I'm not suggesting that employees do pay for business expenses. I'm suggesting that the company will seek the best deal for the communications services that it obtains for its own use, and should get the same deal for inmates' phones and recharge that price.
That seems expensive. In the UK, it is generally 0p per minute for a call to anywhere in the country. I guess in terms of size, that is equivalent to a US state.
It is a trademark case, not a patent case. They wouldn't have complained if they had used another word to describe it. By the way, fair use relates to copyright, so the court almost certainly didn't rule it was fair use, they probably ruled that "pinning" is a generic word.
No they don't calculate the trip cost beforehand, and that is the reason for the complaint. Every other mini-cab operator calculates the cost beforehand, some using computer maps. However, if your Über driver takes a longer route to avoid an obstruction for example, or takes longer than expected due to traffic delays, then you will pay more for the journey.
The laws in London say that taxis must be equipped with a meter, and mini-cabs must not be equipped with a meter. Because Über's meter is in the clouds and not in the car, the car is not equipped with a meter, and therefore it complies with the rules.

Alice would certainly be guilty of attempted murder. Bob would probably get away with it.
In British English, "destroy" means "attend a wild party".
Because they had family living near there and they wanted to visit them at the same time.
I suspect that most pastafarians don't wear their colanders in day-to-day life, just for official photographs.
Lesbin equipment I understand - vibrators, strap-ons and stuff like that. But atheist equipment?
You can buy mp3s from anywhere and load them onto an iPod or iPhone.

The Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act allows them to compel you to hand over any passwords or encryption keys needed to access the data.
It is worth pointing out that Abu Hamza was found not guilty of his alleged crimes when it eventually did go to trial.
Don't kill them. National Security Letter? What National Security Letter?

How much does the prison itself pay for staff to make business calls, like for example to a supplier to order some stuff?

Proliant Microserver with Synology software on it, so I can access my media on all my devices at home or on the road.
I believe they get a two phase supply, and can use 1 phase for plug-in devices at 120V, or both phases at 240V for things like ovens.
Because an electric kettle is much quicker and more convenient. Stove top kettles are only found in museums.
In Europe, our 230V supply allows us to have 3kW kettles which boil water in just over a minute.
