I agree! Having seen how some of the police operate in parts of Europe I wouldn't want to upset them especially if I don't speak the language. I have a burner tablet and can always keep stuff I need in the Cloud.

Fascinating! Always love these backstories. The Ramones were brilliant - I don't have a favourite album but my most-watched DVD is The Ramones Story

I need to read more of that! What's the copyright on the files? I run a public-access gopher server with a small eBook section and that's the kind of material that I'd like to feature.

I watched in amazement as the price tickers for gold and silver shot off the screen and then crashed mightily a day later. What surprised even more was that Bitcoin decided to join in - something I'd normally expect to rise as gold and
