That should have read eyebrow. One, without any gap above the nose. Can't get the proofreaders these days.

They are both the same in that they've got words.

Would anyone wipe their arse with the Daily Mail, having cheaper more comfortable alternatives available for cheaper in the supermarket?

I wouldn't wipe my arse with The Register either. Too sharp, might get an electrical shock.

Does an encyclopaedia do daily news or try to use it to change the political landscape of a country? Yeah, by change I mean poison. If you disagree with me you're an enemy of the people. Get the pitchforks ready, we're going after one of the branches of government.

Re: Handy timing that

Only they're not exempt, their data will be hoovered up anyway but not shown when searched for later, because it's extremely difficult to record everything everyone does inside .uk except for 650-odd people.

As this data is held by the ISP, they need something big to threaten then them with.

The new.man who called Trump's attacks on the judiciary 'demoralising' and 'disheartening' and is known to be a constitutionalist is supposedly going to turn this ban around?

Nope. Not going to happen. No way.

Re: "SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!"

Just were do you think you can find even 'half-way neutral' reporting?

Perhaps they are neutrally reporting that this is a clusterfuck?

Neutral means publishing articles based on the complete range of facts available, not bending the article's text to be neutral even though the facts don't back this up.

Re: First they came for...

Nonsense, there's plenty of years left in flogging the same old snake oil. Cut R&D to the bone!

Re: Too late.

Hilarious. Search for it on Google and you get a bullet point list of how to install in the search results.

Will Google get their wrists slapped?

Re: Still need more

One thing that's surprisingly missing in Vivaldi (or I haven't found it) is the web page language settings. Not even Firefox has knocked that on the head yet... touch wood.

Why is all software sabotaged by its devs? Perhaps there's no handing down to new programmers of 'things we rejected because we found out they were crap'. Then 20 years later we get Windows 10.

Re: Said it before, will say it again

Well I don't know where you are, but where I am songs suddenly turn grey in my Spotify playlists (only happens if you set it that way in settings, otherwise they just disappear and you probably wouldn't notice), entire albums disappear, and there are region lockouts too.

Sky and Virgin both do on demand.

Re: I'm worried they'll outlaw Kodi in some unenforceable way...

What's going to happen next is the stick will be sold with a bare version of Kodi on it and the shop will give an address that you stick into Kodi which downloads everything else.

That'll be when they decide just go for TV sticks loaded with Kodi.

Re: Said it before, will say it again

Amazon, Netflix, Google Play, iTunes, Hulu, and HBO Now are some that immediately spring to mind. Have you had your blinkers on for the past few years?

If they could come up with one shared service, with all the content, and they received their money by content watched (like royalties to different artists/labels with music on spotify) it would be a much better solution.

Ah, like a cable or satellite provider like Virgin or Sky you mean. Hang on...

Re: The bitter taste-

How do you think Chrome got where it is today?

Yes, by being pushed by the search engine.
