Now here is a perfect target for the "outrage" of the feminists except.... they will never do anything about the way this was handled.
If women can pose topless in Times Square in NYC and considerable nudity is on every other show, commercial and advertisement across Europe; don't you think that it's about time that disqualifying beauty pageant contestants for having published "nude" pics is rather disingenuous?
Software manufacturers should be required by international law to provide security patches and updates for their software forever? They KNOW that customers do stupid things.
Maybe software like this should just stop working if the client does NOT patch or update within a few days? Nothing like downtime throughout the Point of Sale system to get management attention.
Maybe the owners of such systems should be required to pay $10,000 (or MORE) to EACH person affected by such a breach? THAT will get their attention for sure!
That would certainly raise the visibility of the IT department from "simple overhead" to "risk avoidance".
Dan1980,
It was a botched update they already pulled from circulation.
That issue was explained by other posters and websites quite sufficiently and convincingly.
However, the "Tin Foil Brigade" got together with the "Black Helicopter Troop" to announce some big conspiracy and cover up by the ever more "malicious" Microsoft.
Ganging up on anyone who criticizes an anti-Microsoft rant seems to be de rigueur here and rather Apple-ite in nature. Who's acting like Scientologists' now?
16 downvotes is quite enough proof of that accusation.
send the tin foil hat brigade over the edge and then some.
Not that it might even be warranted suspicion, given the way they put .mil, .edu and .gov extensions on the support links.
By the way iMap, just once you might try Classic Shell (It's free at www.classicshell.net) and see what it does for even Windows 7 though it works great on all more recent versions of Windows and lets you make customizations that you will never be able to do without such a program.
It solves every case of Win 8, 8.1 and 10 buyers remorse I have ever seen. Most people say "Great, you put Windows 7 on my new computer! Now I can use it". OR you could continue to whine and complain and threaten. And I don't sell for them or get a kickback.
It seems that they can't stand the harsh light of criticism so badly that they, like most of the effete idiots that buy their products; plug their ears and cover their eyes against any version of reality they don't like. This is the reality distortion field effect that Apple creates. Even if they read Carnegie, they would take it as complementing their version of reality. Truthfully, Apple have more in common with the cult of Scientology.
Emperor Tim has no clothes and is surrounded by bright and shiny "yes men" (and women) who continually tell him his raiments are "glorious" and thus will remain naked and clueless until he is displaced. "Perfection" cannot exist in any manmade object, regardless of what Apple thinks.
That the "open access" is only to the abstract, not the entire article on Environmental Science & Technology. Still very interesting as it proves there are still far more variables yet to be found in the "warming" equation than the climate religionists would have you believe.
This is NOT "settled science" and yet the CAGW proponents present it as such. Some might call that simply disingenuous or others might call it an outright lie.
The "Great Smog" as you put it is the direct result of the Sulphur Oxides that used to spew from every chimney at home and business. That's typically what happens when you burn soft coal or bunker oil. It was the primary source of acid rain and smog. When hard coal and refined de-sulphurized fuel oil and gasoline became commonplace, much of our smog went away.
Funny thing though, due to emission regulations and a desire for greater efficiency, the resulting higher combustion temperatures and pressures in vehicles or boilers/furnaces is bringing up the amount of nitrogen oxides which also cause smog and acid rain.
Lewis Page has never advocated a return to smog as you accuse him of, he has only advocated a levelheaded examination of nuclear power since it is literally "emission free". (Other than the waste)
The fact is that the more recent developments (Thorium, Sodium) in Nuclear energy solve most of the problems the old technology faced. I do not see a "Pay for play" arrangement as you accuse.
He does not believe in the manmade global warming religion and that I suspect is the sole reason most of you occasional posters come here to criticize him and his beliefs.
Your threats are as hollow and baseless as is the whole religion. You must have watched enough "Captain Planet" years ago to brainwash a dozen people and now believe your own bluster.
Naïve, There were plenty of headlines about GM and the killer ignition switches. Just because you missed them on your side of the world is no reason to whine about the world being unfair to Volkswagen.
Volkswagen broke the emissions laws in the US and Europe and should be fined, just like GM is.
The US is not treating them any different than any other screwup !
Never hear anything about Tanaka and their killer airbags? They affected almost all auto manufacturers, worldwide over multiple model years. Nothing like having an airbag leave shrapnel in people to make you wonder what were they thinking?
None of these issues will be "forgotten" in a week whatever you say.
It is illegal to rig emissions tests in 50 states in the USA. Volkswagen INTENTIONALLY broke the law not only in the USA but elsewhere AND they admitted that fact. BMW may be next, they apparently did something similar to VW from what I hear. How is that our doing?
If you want to comment about BP, THEIR sub contractors were working under direct BP supervision. Seems you might not want to have put in check valves in a configuration that doesn't meet the EPA standards that have been in place for years to avoid exactly what happened on that oil platform. How is that the fault of the USA? I have some friends on the Florida panhandle that would like to have a personal word with you about that.
As far as you calling the USA a "Corrupt state"; it seems that Europe has curious track record that if your buddies hadn't buried their heads and two world wars in the sand, you might have known those details. They call that "the pot calling the kettle black".
However your "text spelling" leads me to believe you never got out of grade school so you may have never learned any history. Calling our intellect "low" when your posting sounds like that is truly laughable. Please try harder, I know you can do it.
The fact is that Diesel or fuel oil is dirty and always has been. Yes it has higher BTU/Gallon than gasoline but the amount of NOx produced is much higher than gasoline or other fuels. The particulates are out of this world and the "yahoos" around here that put vertical exhaust stacks on their pick up trucks and play hell with their Engine Control Software to get more HP, tend to spew a black cloud out of them anytime they step on the pedal.
I haven't seen that kind of soot coming from a personal vehicle for 40 years and it ONLY comes from Diesels. Even buses and garbage trucks aren't as bad as these pick up trucks.
The NOx is intolerable and smells like high concentration nitric acid. It acts like it too. Try driving behind one of those every day on the way to work.
Convert all Diesels to natural gas or propane worldwide and we'll all be better for it. Don't even get me started on the converted fry oil Biodiesel. If I wanted to smell fried food I'd buy some. You might even finally have some sunshine peeking through in Beijing. Asthma rates would plummet everywhere.
Ooops, I forgot, developing countries don't care about their OWN emissions, only those of developed nations so they keep their cost advantage against them.
In the US, any engine system designated as a "PZEV" (partial zero emissions vehicle) has to warranty all components that are required to meet that standard for the "life" of the vehicle including the catalytic convertor. Not sure about diesels, but YMMV according to engine size, fuel, locality etc. New York (where I live) and California both have the most stringent stateside emissions regulations in the US.
My Ford Fusion (with a four cylinder gasoline engine) has a small high pressure fan that acts like a turbocharger to improve it's emissions. It runs all the time the engine is on. It failed after only 5 years and I found this PZEV fact out shortly after. The dealer tried to say it was not covered until I told them about the PZEV rules. ONLY the four cylinder engine is covered as it is the only one that meets PZEV criteria.
Saved myself $700 and stuck it to the dealer. It was a good day!
Regarding EGR valves, on a gasoline engine these should only be $35 to $50.
Is the Audi diesel version gold plated and can only be handled by actual virgins wearing ermine gloves?
But see those automatic one strike laws that cause aberrations like the example you gave, are all because of people like you, the mouthy PC minority.
You and your compatriots "think of the children" mindset and rabble rousing causes legislators to enact feel good legislation (so they can be re-elected) that pressures politicians to support them and results in mandatory sentencing guidelines that do not allow a judge (in the USA) to use his or her own judgment in the sentencing phase of a trial.
I'm quite well aware that the case you mention was a bad ruling. It was out of the judges hands. However, the 10 strike bank robber got exactly what he deserved.
You probably would be the first to say that Officer Wilson didn't have a justifiable reason to shoot Michael Brown when two grand juries acquitted Wilson (One State, one Federal). You probably whine about Mumia Abu-Jamal too.
Screw the PC police, if you commit a crime then be ready to pay the price for your deeds. Compassion for convicted criminals is useless and foolish. They have none for everyday folks and deserve none in return.
EXACTLY, he got what he deserved. Frankly, your comment about "Execute/deport (don't care) them and spend the money on something better" echoes my own sentiments about convicted criminals.
These days, the do gooders and lawyers get too many guilty people off and they revert the second they are freed. Once you go through a modern day trial and are convicted it's pretty sure you're guilty.
You are the one being racist. The poster you were commenting on was using "we" in the collective sense. As in "Humanity".
YOU brought up "them" in the argument and thus YOU are discriminating not he.
Also, please remember that the burning of the Kuwait Oil fields was done by the orders of Saddam Hussein. I highly doubt there were ANY environmental concerns that day.
Actually, it's based on real science, not a "model". A hypothesis was offered by Newton that a group of equations (the laws of motion, as you state) could accurately predict the movement of celestial objects. when that was found to be correct (by actual testing and physical observation with telescopes and sextants), it went from the realm of hypothesis to scientific fact.
for the libel and slander civil suits against each and every so called "scientist" and lying politician that is involved.
The fact is that if it were all based on actual UNMODIFIED DATA, instead of hypothesis and spurious "modeling", there is absolutely NO PROOF of AGW besides people who are themselves participating in a world wide conspiracy to lie about warming so they can get grant money from various governments and companies.
Dear occasional poster, lets try to avoid ridiculous pedantry about spelling.
In particular YOUR OXFORD ENGLISH dictionary includes many or most of the words we use here in America (not to mention the slang) and the very authors/publishers admit that "English" (Not "British") is an extraordinarily mutable language which changes both spelling and meaning over time. Even the word "English" no longer has a single meaning.
Do keep up dear chap.
not who writes it.
The more complex you make an OS, the more likely it is that one of the contributors will screw up something. Unfortunately, they mostly don't keep good records of previous gaffes and rarely let the same person(s) do the same work on the new OS. THAT at least would make it difficult to forget "lessons learned". Changing people around like musical chairs doesn't help. "Multi-tasking" is only beneficial for the HR department not anyone else.
And the funny thing is, this same shit happens with Apple, Microsoft, Linux greybeards, Google, etc, etc.
Not rillary, since they already stated they found numerous emails that had "top secret classified" headers stripped from them. The grillery hasn't even started yet. Just wait until someone finds final proof that she deliberately ignored calls for help from the American Embassy in Benghazi!
These ought to help you get a clue...besides what else she may have lied about. Keep laughing, the smirk on her face will be wiped off and she may need to steal someone elses smirk.

At the very least, she LIED to CONGRESS WHILE UNDER OATH during a congressional investigation! Look for her to get perp walked right off the debate stage.
As far as I am concerned Hillary Clinton is not an amusing character, she is a lying thief and suspected murderer. If that makes her more real then so be it.
When the effeminate so called "president" Obama went on his "apology" tour, the US lost the "respect" of Vladimir Putin, ISIL, and Al Qaeda. They don't need a love letter, they need their ass kicked. When Putin told Obama he could "toss his salad" over Crimea and Ukraine, Obama got out the tongs and oil.
So emboldened, Putin took Crimea and Eastern Ukraine and ISIL took much of Syria. The direct result we are well aware of is the Syrian refugee problem that faces all of Europe, the downing of Flight 137 by Russian forces and the limp wristed and cowardly response by NATO to the Ukraine incursions.
Russia and ISIL/Al Qaeda, only respect fear and intimidation. Same as Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini. Now even NATO means nothing as the only teeth it EVER had was the full force of the AMERICAN Military. Bitch all you want about the USA but YOUR spineless leaders sat by and did nothing while hundreds of thousands died or were displaced.
If that is the only way to get your point across to murderers, then what's the problem with using the tools that actually work? Being a wimpy pussy obviously doesn't.
Wimpy apologists who interfere with our military leadership don't win wars, they only lose them. We already saw that in 'Nam. Too bad no one learned from History. They also don't get any respect for giving 5 top level Al Qaeda operatives back for one useless combination traitor/deserter. They also don't get any respect or deserve any from the hundreds of thousand of military veterans who served during the Iraq/Afghanistan wars because he devalued their service by sympathizing with the enemy and appointing his buddies to positions they weren't qualified for. No, Obama was too busy getting on late night TV shows and playing games to care about being the Commander in Chief.
And as far as "Aliens beaming dumbfuckeration" they must have hit you right between the eyes because you and your kind got the full dose.
You always want to light the rich burn mixture first and then slowly trim O2 to the right ratio or the damn thing goes "POP" like the torch, only a lot louder and with far more dire consequences.
As said elsewhere, the right final flame color is blue with shock lines in it. We don't typically see that here on Earth launches because we often use solid fuel boosters to get the bird off the ground. Since they burn ammonium perchlorate and latex rubber with carbon black in them, they smoke like a volcano and obscure the LOx/H2 flames.
But that's the way they keep you voting for the same leftist numpties that proposed those stupid regulations... If you work AT ALL your benefits are reduced excessively. They say to you in one manner or another, (Wink, wink; nudge, nudge) "You don't really want to work do you?" If they say it enough, you begin to believe it. This removes any impetus to better yourself, keeping you and your family on the dole and provides a permanent pool of eligible voters for socialist politicians. Although, once you get hit by their "banhammer" of regulations, you soon stop trying to leave the fold. Cause and effect in practice!
I would rather have responsible people double dipping (Welfare and Employment) while she/he got out of the entitlement trap than those who just laid around on the dole and never even tried to get out.
The fact is that the ONLY REASON why China has been successful in having such a "One Child " policy is that it is effectively a Dictatorship and that "Benevolence" doesn't enter in to the equation.
We have a similar issue in the States with multi generation welfare clients having more children just to get more welfare benefits. It is difficult to actually limit the number of children one is allowed to have, but it is not difficult (Only politically unwise) to limit the amount of welfare money being paid per child.
Same goes for "immigration". Who is going to pay for the upkeep of wave after wave of immigrants; since they did not come here legally with a sponsor and a job?
The left uses these issues as a wedge and a vote buying tactic. From now on, the money to pay for these concepts should only come from registered Democrats pockets. That will fix the problem.
All "minorities" are playing that game and it is detrimental to the company, it's existing employees and the applicants.
I will say it again, HR should be "Blind"....resumes should be sanitized of all information besides their qualifications and education. All decisions to hire should be based on that criteria alone and no one in the company should divulge the name, sex, age, religion, or race of the applicants until the final interview. Testing to prove competence should be required and will go a long way towards prevention of spurious discrimination lawsuits.
There should NEVER be any hiring quota used as that is deliberate discrimination and is usually to overcompensate in the opposite direction.
We need to bring back the idea of a "meritocracy" and consider that while there may well be as many women or other "minorities" as there are men, the number of interested and qualified applicants NEVER matches the percentage of the overall population. Thus that % number is meaningless and is used incorrectly in "diversity" calculations.
The real decision should be based on are you qualified and do you want the position. Why is that so difficult to understand?
As a young man, my family camped many times in several parks up in Northern Canada and the Adirondack Mountains in New York during our vacations.
The mosquitos and black flies would carry you off and you had to wear netting and bug repellent or you would go mad trying to fight them off. There were literal clouds of insects.
However, they only bothered the moose and deer intermittently. Seems having a thick coat of hair everywhere (unlike most humans) meant that only their softer bits were targeted. However, deer ticks pose a much greater problem for disease and between me and you, I would rather be eaten by mosquitos than ticks.
There other bloodsuckers to consider too. You can't enter a pond or stream in the North Country that is not full of leeches. Better wear tight swim trunks or suffer some embarrassing leech removals. You quickly find out who your friends are at Scout camp (Northern Lights). Everybody went skinny dipping ONCE there, then suddenly found modesty through practicality.
Those deer flies bite like that pinch your mother would give you when you acted up in church. Some of them are as big as an inch long and they sound like a model airplane engine sometimes.
All said and done, there is little difference other than size between deer and reindeer/caribou. The bugs find all mammals tasty and this has been going on since there have been blood sucking insects. I have seen many deer calmly grazing in a field and they are just covered in the little bastards.
Funny how those bloodsuckers presence hasn't resulted in any extinctions regardless of what's being "reported".
My experience has shown me that automation like CNC is a double edged sword. (Computer Numerical Control) CNC has been around since the paper tape days but is almost universal in most machine rooms these days.
On one hand, CNC allows you to make large production runs of complicated items very quickly.
On the other hand, those who have ONLY used CNC machining equipment become very dependent on it and soon lose their ability to easily hand make "One Off" items because no one puts a program together for just one piece.
Thus my ex wife is back to work as a tool and die maker, well after she retired; as there aren't many with her manual skills.
I ask you, is the CNC system itself "robotic" or does it create "Human Robots"?
Yes, there is a type of pine that grows incredibly slowly since it lives in the high mountains where it hardly gets any rain or water. Try getting a good correlation between rainfall/snowpack occurring in a place where it is naturally so dry that mummification occurs and you'll come up with exactly the same conclusions IF you are trying prove there is a drought in the desert. You can take some coal to Newcastle if you'd like too.
Completely missed in all of their eco-glory was the fact that if they wanted to do something beyond crying real crocodile tears and wearing sackcloth and ashes, they could start building de-salinization plants in California and solve the water problem instead of complaining about it.
Seems you just can't grasp the fact that if you can't actually MEASURE something, "Science" does not enter the equation. This is where "Hypothesis" takes over.
Otherwise known as a sophisticated wild assed guess, hypothesis do not equal fact; even if you turn them into a religion.
Counting tree rings and making a supposition from something that's hardly gone beyond using a divining rod is hardly "scientific". Since there are no MEASUREMENTS of temperature from those time periods you cannot directly RELATE tree rings to temperature. The best you can expect is to say exactly what us "Deniers" are saying that this whole thing is extraordinarily cyclical and we have been through this before. That's all.
Since hypothesis are the entirety of the AGW argument then remind me again why most of the populace allow entire governments to make decisions entirely based on S.W.A.G.'s?
Oh, that's right; they listen to loudmouth idiots yammering away about something that has not been proved because some lobbying group says it's so. That the entire basis of the AGW religion.
Lets be clear, anything that is being said about Iran is at best only rumor and conjecture; and the DOD is undergoing a literal revolt by over 50 of it's "analysts" who are stating that their upper level people are "sanitizing" and changing their reports to make it appear better than it really is. This supposed "deal" hasn't even passed yet. The Iran "deal" is only good for Iran but then we wouldn't know what's in it because they hide in secrecy.
Since Obama has lied about every piece of legislation he has touched, I at least; am disinclined to believe anything he ever says again. His appointees have polluted the integrity of every office they have infected. The DOD is covering up the administrations failures in the middle east, the Justice Department and FBI are no better than they were back in the McCarthy era, the IRS is the political enforcement arm of the Obama Mafia now,
Mark my words, when Iran attacks Israel it will mean a war that will make WWI and WWII look like a walk in the park and no country will emerge unscathed. If you think there is a refugee problem now, just wait.
If you don't understand the 1st amendment then please just stop trying to offer your "Legal interpretation" of it.
Racism and Nazism and a whole pantheon of "ism's" are protected by the 1st amendment here. The Klan can parade down main street and the police have to provide protective services for them. The Nazi's regularly have public demonstrations complete with all their rhetoric.
You are correct in saying it does not protect "crying fire" in a movie theater but that is already covered under completely different legal circumstances like inciting a riot.
The more concerning issue to me is that lily livered leftists are trying to make this country as ineffectual and effeminate as the EU already is and tie it up with the same kind of "nannying" legislation that made our founding fathers leave Europe to begin with.
have the phone plated in PURE gold. "Steve" would be happy and Apple would have even greater margins.
Pure Gold is the least reactive metal and causes the least amount of allergic responses. Other types of gold can have silver or copper or both alloyed with the gold, usually to make the metal stronger.
May I point out that you are an insipid dolt of immense proportions because you have no clue about the 14th amendment and yet make yourself out to be an expert by commenting on it as you did.
Please resist the urge to talk about a subject when it is obvious you don't understand it at all. Now read the amendment and tell us all where it says what you said it did.
Amendment XIV
Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Section 2.
Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a state, or the members of the legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such state, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such state.
Section 3.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Section 4.
The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.
Section 5.
The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
If you say something as a politician or celebrity on TV today, the video is going to haunt you forever. Why should Tweets be any different?
These people pose themselves as being "better" than the everyday Twatteratti. They should be subject to a far higher level of public scrutiny. In fact, I would go so far as to say that none of them deserve the "right to be forgotten" by Alphabet/Google either. I want everything they have ever done or said to be recorded for posterity so the next time they come up with some lame proposal or statement, someone can see what they did and comment on it.
WTF is anyone using the Internet as a babysitter for your kids? Are we back to the "plop them down in front of the screen" mode? Didn't work well with the TV and the Internet can be far worse.
If you do, your parenting skills are sorely lacking and your hypocrisy is showing.
It's one thing to let children use the Net while you are able to supervise and assist but allowing them to sign up for various services unattended/unadvised is just ridiculous for the under 13 crowd.
Past that point, they certainly should understand a parent who patiently explains what info to provide, to whom and why and then they can probably browse unattended, but you should still be monitoring their browsing.
The first and only responsible party in this equation is YOU!
The rights to free speech in the USA are incontrovertible and undeniable.
You just don't like the opinions being offered. Tough, you don't get to tell me that I can't state my opinion or it's subject, tone or content. At all, ever. And neither does ANY state or government entity.
Everyone has a right to their opinion here and YOU don't get to be the arbiter of what is right or wrong
The mere fact that you used the cover of "Anonymous Coward" means you know your comments will be a lightning rod. You don't get a pass. As far as I am concerned, you are hypocritical by using the "AC" option and don't have any idea why our founding fathers instituted the first amendment.
Take a second to read below since you obviously don't have any grasp of the US Constitution.
First Amendment - Religion and Expression. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Nowhere in that paragraph does it say that "Mr. High and Mighty" has any right to tell us what to say or what is "acceptable" free speech. If his pets at "Black Lies Matter" can publicly advocate the killing of police officers like the several murdered in cold blood over the last two weeks, then his detractors can say anything they want.
What part of "Congress shall make no law", "Free Exercise" or "Abridging the freedom of speech" do you not comprehend?
You act the same as all these effeminate, pandering, waffling, politicians we have today. They are unwilling to understand that many unpopular opinions that people espouse today are not illegal in this country. And these politicians have no right to "create laws" to prevent them from being offered. That reality doesn't jive with their self righteous ignorance.
I don't care that you don't like what I have to say. I still have a right to say it. And so do you.
The problem is that if you don't have the codec in the OS, you can't play the video.
MS operating systems run far too many video management systems and security systems to not have that capability baked in to the OS. Let alone the punters on Youtube.
They can always change codecs later after the new standard, but they have to support the old one until then or they break compatibility.
It's hilarious to see entitled moronic dolts like you comment vacuously against any opinion they don't care for.
What do you pay as a cyclist towards roads and their upkeep?
NOTHING!
An automobile driver pays for roads with the taxes on gasoline, the taxes on his /her vehicle, the registration fees, the insurance etc. This list is ENDLESS.
These fees and taxes are effectively a "Use Tax". Don't give me the malarkey that "Bicycles don't damage roads". That's common knowledge. What cyclists do is use the roads and thus they should pay to do so whether they have a car or NOT.
WHY NOT CHARGE CYCLISTS WITH REGISTERING, LISCENCING, TESTING AND INSURANCE JUST LIKE AUTOMOBILE DRIVERS ARE?
Anything less is discriminatory!
Always like to see someone channeling Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner.
Simon must have been watching it when he wrote this since there are so many Blade Runner references used.
"Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion..."
"Ay?"
"... I watched C-beams... glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate," I continue.
"What beams?"
"All those moments will be lost in time. Like... tears. In rain..."
Looks like the BOFH and PFY had their stories "straight" from the beginning.
Good to see a little communication go so far, like 3 stories far.
