Correct decision?

What’s the point in even pretending to have a legal system then?

All those people employed by the courts should be removed in order to save some cash, obviously they serve no purpose.

The American legal system seems to "fluid" to be workable. If the decision goes against some politicos wishes then they just reverse the judgement or if something the American Government wants to do is illegal then they just do it in a different country.

You guys just keep giving your enemys ammunition

Unregulated content?

People with "Smart TV's" already know what is "unregulated" by the fact they need to click on their internet TV viewer of choice to view it.

Whats the real reasons behind this bollocks?

Doubt sports has much impact

But their customer services does.

If it wasnt for BT really (really) screwing me over I would have never gone back to Virgin.

They are one of these companies in which customers can exist in one of two states. Either brilliant, or fucking aweful.

If you are in the latter group, then you need to talk to customer servicves or pay for techical support, neither of which will help you.

Evidence of the Bible

"The evidence of the Bible showed that the idea of dangerous man-made climate change was wrong"

If you can bring yourself to get beyond the "Random book written by evangelical zealots with their own agendas" used as evidence part of the story. He is still talk bollocks. I don't see how he can interpret that parable as showing any such thing.

Or is this just a case of the same old, l"ets say its in the holy book as no one will ever read it anyway"?

It pains me that I am still supposed to take people seriously who claim to believe in a supernatural being, do we not have education to counter this crap?

Terrible waste of resources

If we (ie the Human Race) were actually serious about lasting any decent length of time on this mud ball, there are good reasons why we should not have normal paper printers in a persons house, let alone a snot-sticker

Not worth the time to even talk about this

Why would Huawi go to all the effort? They would just chuck a few quid at BT

After BT and their selling of customer surfing habits to Phorm (with the biggest wiretap we knew about until Snowden opened his mouth ) and their attempt to defend it with the immoral lie "we did not believe it to be illegal"

You cannot trust a word this slime company tells you. They have already proved that they will sell customers down the river for a profit, and we are supposed to trust they would not do the same to the Chinese/Americans/any other power that asked?

I love W3C

I know its passé to get your websites 100% W3C complaint, but really these guys are good news to anyone who fires up a browser.

A solid set of standards that means you can actually be sure that what you are looking at is what your users/customers will be looking at.

A good feel that your complaint site will run on any browser

And on top of it, they really don't give a flying f**k who you are and who you work for, they stick to their stated aims with almost religious Fervency .

Take your ideas about hard coding some advertising bull shit into a browser and **** off admen,

Anyway,. are you that totally stupid to believe that if you had managed to get some of your stupid ideas into W3C's standards that the community would not have created a free browser which did not have this shit?

maybe you idiots should understand more about the industry you have chosen to cream some cash from.

A web browser displays HTML. HTML is not owned by anyone and its a language designed to display what the author requires.

Any browser that goes beyond that in the ways you want will be ditched in seconds.

After all, if Google, owning Chrome, don't do it, did you not ask yourselves why?

No reason to buy a 2nd smartphone

The difference between my old handset and my S2 smartphone was worth the price to me

The difference between my S2 smartphone and any other smartphone is negligible.

It would be like changing cars every year to get the new number-plate, nice but ultimately a crap expensive idea

Service?

Why do people keep describing these kind of things as a service?

Service to who?

If our Lawmakers were not personally better off from these tax laws

They would have sorted these things out by now.

We in the UK are in a strong position, we have a massive market and a massive pool of creative people able to start their own companies.

Thus refusing entry to our market for those who do not pay tax here, Google, Apple,Amazon Starbucks etc would have the knock on affect of creating jobs as we fill in the gaps left by these people.

They have no right to be here, they make use of our infrastructure and the huge amount of money they make could easily be made by internal companies. Yeah some of them have good products, but really, 5 years down the line who will care who made your phone, ground your coffee or found your online raz pics

It makes these pages sound like they have lost out.

" Page selling adult products was eligible to have ads appear on its right-hand side"

I would rather not be eligible

After all, being eligible just gives my time-line a sting of adverts for games consisting of cartoon girls with their tits out.

This guy had no chance

Whats his choices?

1) Being given Chinese hardware was always going to be risky.

2) If he bypassed the Chinese then the NSA would have been snooping on him anyway.

This is a massive percentage of police

Who seem to be able to use a computer now abusing these systems.

Every time I need the police to help me, it seems that the ones i talk to have either not got the training to use the system, or just give a blank stare when asked questions.

Even a simple, "hey can you tell me the date of the time I called you guys to help me when my drunk neighbor came into my property and attacked me" gets the response "sorry cant do that, file a freedom of information so someone who can be arsed looks for you"

With the amount of data we know they hold on criminals, and now the greater levels of very private information we know they hold on law abiding citizens, this offense should be a minimum jail term of some length.

The police constantly show themselves to be untrustworthy unless they are dealing with automated offenses like parking fines and speeding. They are, in the main, normal people tarred with the lazy brush (like all civil servants end up being after a few years) they need the fear that their actions will have some consequences beaten into them.

The whole charade is a disgrace

1) HMRC not saying anything when they got the cheque for 16 million.

2) Google thinking they can just say, "no, we ain't going to pay, we give a few of you jobs"

3) Some Politions actually backing that 2nd point up in public

4) Google's blatant lies around the selling of their services

Perhaps most damning of all

5) Margaret Hodges own family run company doing exactly the same as Google with the same arguments. but not being investigated by Parliament like the Google circus.

Its a joke about rape ffs

This is not funny, why are the posters above me trying to make some big issue out of their "lack of freedom"?

Much like the fat fuckers rioting in London last year, you need to grow up and use the brain a little bit more.

Then again, with the story content revolving around a game, I guess this specific forum must then take on some of the quality's of gaming forums the world over, ill thought out, knee jerk reactions.

If it smells like..

Then most likely its the value of the qualifications being taken these days.

Having a PM talk fluff on the world stage hardly fills us with confidence that this sorry sate of affairs will be changing any time soon

Not surprising Prism is so powerful

Not when it has the The palantír of Orthanc at its root

So what they are saying is hype = sucess

erm?

Normally I argue in favor of the G Men, but this is just stating the obvious. They need to stfu and get back to taking the comparison sites out of their index

Well thats it then

Time to move to Windows 8!!!!

Oh hang on, I would rather eat the cheese between my toes.

Anyway, just how good can a FPS be on a touch screen?

Looking at their page

And you can see why they need some developers, though to be honest, do they really need 4 developers?

I would suggest the owner needs to spend an hour looking into the CMS he is using and either replicating it on wordpress or something less bloated than the thing he is using now.

Then read the Google webmasters guidelines and implement those. (these are good enough to cover all search engines)

I know site validation is unpopular with idiots who cant write clean HTML, but it is a significant issue and shows a really lazy company.

W3C is your friend not a enemy!!!

@john 19

And that's the view of many people.

On top of that a lot of people find it hard to believe a company like Apple can have ever come up with any real patients themselves. Which makes a mockery of the idea behind patient in the first place.

After all their products, outside of the styling, may as well have been made from a parts catalog of components on offer by other companies.

The contents of the documents affirm the word arrogance

While Bradley will get hung out to dry for his actions, and probably rightfully so. the contents of the documents he disclosed did not actually do much to Americas standing on the world stage.

They just gave more credence to their "enemys" claims about good old uncles sames benign foreign policy.

I mean, you guys do ask yourselves just what makes someone willing to die to hurt you? Don't you?

Seems like Google are burning their bridges here

Was it not the porn world who have progressed the internet by such a massive amount from the bad old days of animated gifs circa 80's-90's?

Considering the average buyer of the portable 24/7 pr0n display will be single 25-35 year old males with disposable income, it seems a bit silly to make them look at the alternative head set that will be out very soon after the glass.

People In Glass Houses

Following the riots in the UK a few months ago they legislated to allow them to being down social sites.

So how is this guy any different to the self serving fuckers in charge of our country?
