Re: So, to sum up. . .

Also, there are over a million "new" UK British adults since the referendum and polls show that 75% of them would vote remain.

As for the deal not even being the same deal as what was voted on, this is what the leave campaign said at the time, straight from the horses mouths, for the deniers!

John Redwood and Rees-Mogg said a second referendum would be a good idea once a deal has been finalised: https://infacts.org/rees-mogg-history-backing-second-eu-referendums/

Boris Johnson said we'd stay in the single-market: https://www.businessinsider.com/boris-johnson-single-market-brexit-campaign-customs-union-2018-1?r=US&IR=T

As did Farage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xGt3QmRSZY

As did MEP Dan Hannan: "Nobody is talking about threatening our place in the single market": https://www.voteleavewatch.org.uk/leaving_the_single_market_is_not_an_option

Gerard Batten (UKIP leader) "A trade deal with the EU could be sorted out in an afternoon over a cup of coffee"

Boris Johnson: "There is no plan for no deal because we are going to get a great deal"

And Liam Fox promised that the 40 trade deals we'd lose access to after leaving the EU will all be replicated or improved on immediately after Britain leaves. How many of the 40 has he improved on..... **ZERO** Well, OK, how many has he replicated? 12 - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-47213842)

Liam Fox: "The free trade agreement that we will have to do with the European Union should be one of the easiest in human history"

Dominic Raab: I hadn't quite understood the full extent of this but... we are particularly reliant on the Dover-Calais crossing"

So, either these people are liars, or they've changed their mind, but the brexitters scorning at a second referendum shows he clearly doesn't think people are allowed to change their minds!

Re: ICU Pro

Alot of them do tend to exist.. I had a bunch of about 30 hit my system.

Although they came from various different virtual host providers, different domains (also made out of 2 random words) and the advertised producs weren't linked, it was obviously a campaign from the same outfit.

The domains existed, and had valid SPF records, they also had valid DKIM records, but their return mail servers weren't accepting return mail.

For only a few quid for a domain, hosted on some pay-per-hour service, you can pass all the spd/dkim/greylisting systems out there.

Re: It's not just (or even mainly) about 'relevant' ads

"If you say you don't want relevant ads, why do they still track you?"

For the same reason that telemarketers call numbers on the do-not-call list, or spammers try and get around anti-spam measures.

Arrogance.

"Sure, you don't want spam email/calls/ads, I get that, but my advert/product is DIFFERENT. I'm doing you a favour"

Re: Advertising Standards Authority alerter

Noooooooo! FreeBSD, Linux (on the pre-loaded embedded routers), and android all the way!

I love how they reject all scientists.

Even the climate change deniers only reject the scientists that they don't agree with.. But flat earthers seem to reject all science. It makes sense, I suppose, however I thought that they accept planes exist, but that they are designed, built, and flown by a world wide round-world evil dark state, illuminati, masons, beta-delta-psi, tescos clubcard holding, vauxhall members club representative pizzagate paedo lizard person mole person.

Re: Over Confidence

Long before Mac OSX became a thing, I used to say that MS should grab FreeBSD, and rewrite windows as a GUI, and include a compatibility layer for win32 stuff.

Of course, Gates being the "shove the OS into the GUI" kind of guy, they went the NT route instead, then Mac OSX more or less did it instead.

Re: A generation ago

I was under the impression that Ratner was just making a joke - at a private event - but video leaked and was taken out of context...

Re: Brexit bollocks

"However the kids going through school and even uni are practically commie in their beliefs. Right up until they get some experience and have to pay their way etc. Then they start growing up. Which is why not everyone is a leftie even if kids tend to start out that way."

My God, a British person who believes Fox 'News'!

Re: One Network to Rule Them All

No need. They can just spray out UDP packets - guaranteed 100% accuracy would not be required.

Re: Exporting Misery

Don't worry, Cummings (wassat about unelected EU bureaucrats?), Moggy, and Johnson will ensure that British and Chinese workers will be treated equally...

Re: IrDA

I used to use the infra red thingie on my nokia 9110 communicator with the work laptop the other side of the room, over 6 feet away. Worked fine as long as no-one stood in the way!

Re: time for change

Yes! I've been saying that for decades!

Re: Only image + link

I agree with you. I think GDPR does too.

Of course, the image hosted on the local site, a generic link, and referred from a generic url (so they can't grok a unique id ftom referral information)
