Apple is a faceless corporate ? I'd have thought Apple had, and has, some very famous faces. That extends slightly down the pecking order, not just the top man; example, the UK has honoured and listens to, Jonathan Ive.
My student days were with Fortran IV and then when those new-fangled microprocessors were almost affordable, moved on to 8008 coding in hex. Ah, then the heady days of Z80 hex... Even when I ran BASIC, I spent more time hacking new commands into it (starting with EPSon and EPSoff) than BASICing. No IDEs then, sigh.
Barrow Gurney is also unfortunate enough to be on a rat run from the nearby city of Bristol to the local airport, with air travel in the UK rapidly increasing at present.
I notice the denizens of Barrow Gurney have taken particular exception to this fact by painting out local road signs to the airport.
That is not how it is seen in the UK, including Telegraph readers. If the US sees a UK subject (no citizens here) as being required in the US, it happens. The UK Courts are in practice helpless.
ISTR reading or maybe a TV history programme (Simon Schama) insisting that there was no point to an empire that did not make money and referring to past empires based from Rome and Britain. Making a loss would directly lead to taxes to pay for this empire and inevitably, revolt. So cutting costs by offshoring would be a very sensible approach to maintaining an empire, although perhaps not to defending yourself against builders of the next empire.
I run a mail system on an IP listed as dynamic (actually it rarely changes). It has proved excellent over the last few years in reducing spam from a torrent to the very occasional drip.
For sending mail, my default is via a commercial service but 95% of my email sent is to a select few, all of who use ISPs that do not dump DynIPs.
Reports of the death of the home server are greatly exaggerated.

Well, perhaps not over just yet.
