* An angry Scottish leader who wants to go North

* A Fromage

* An idiot who called a referendum once.

What shall I do?

Re: "Where every customer is a perpetual unpaid beta tester."

Oh I see. Silly me I should disable group policy immediately and get on with complaining, beta testing and down voting like the rest of you, even though the facility is there. My bad. It's working for me just fine but somehow I must be mistaken or wrong.

"Where every customer is a perpetual unpaid beta tester."

Not every customer. I set group policy in Pro 10 to delay these updates by six months. In my world I won't be seeing this update for quite a little while, so thanks to the rest of you who are beta testing this for me!!

They didn't really kill the News of the world. It was just sleepong. As soon as it closed Murdoch registered "The Sun on Sunday' as a domain name. A while later we got a "new" paper. It was a strategy to wriggle out of a bad climate, nothing more.
