When is ad-blocking ethical?

100% of the time IMO as I dont want dross I'll never buy shoved in my face - if I go to a site that wants me to switch off Adblock, it gets dumped immediately.

Sites excersice little control over who ultimately uses their advertising space, the BBC et all spewing malware in the form of ransomeware being a typical example.

So they can all Foxtrott Oscar.

Theres nothing quite like it

Been playing Doom since it first came out in 1993 ish, when it would run quite respectably on a 386

Youre anger is our energy?

"We love our Surface customers"?

What a load of dung.

Just fix your crappy stuff, stop using Joe Public as alpha testers & stop spying on people for starters

Much as I like Apple products

The company seems to act like a pack of complete bastards.

Meeting

Ive arranged a meeting at 09.30 the pompous voice on the telephone declared...

Fine, but you'll be on your own.

Whys that then? - Cos I wont be there.

Moving house from Brussels to Strabourgh every frikkin month then mankin about something good thats British? Jesus talk about pot, kettle & black.

IT expertise in the boardroom?

Youre 'aving a larf there.

Usually, IT falls under the financal director who knows the price of everything & the value of nothing

Spend the afternoon speccing out a new what ever it is & within 10 mintes Finance tear it to bits because its too much of their money, yes they spend it like its their own & come up with a crap alternative that costs a few hundred quid less with the lifespan & reliability of an anorexic Mayfly.

Yet another opportunity

For waistlines of those at Crapita to expand to the size of Mr Creosote & the proprietor of 'The Ivy' to order a new Porsche somethog or other...

Pot Kettle Black

How about taking down your own bot net thats ramming Windows 10 down everyones throat & spying on those who have installed it?

Am I missing something?

Its something to do with

Horse, water & drink

After the disaster that Vista, 8 & 8.1 were, I thought Id give Windows 7 a chance as it sounded OK - ish.

But if Microsoft is going to ram 10 down my throat they can Fuck Off.

"I’d hold off until the bugs are addressed"

That made me smile.

Do you mean - once Windows 10 is completely rolled out

But

My old computer is only 8 years old and works perfectly well, thank you.

Why would I want your spyware riddled dung heap in exchange, even if you paid me full price for it?

Fools and their money...

Easily parted,

In very rural France

7.8 Mb/s down / 0.72 on the up & will be upgraded to fibre in the not so distant future
