   You can buy 360 controllers for £25 ($33) new here in the UK.

   I personally doubt that scarcity will be too big an issue with Xbox 360 controllers for the foreseeable future — development of new 360 hardware only ended in April last year. I can think of no piece of consumer electronics cheaper to sourc

   Well, I'd say NoScript (or equivalent) and HTTPS Everywhere are rather important, too. I believe a resource blocker and HTTPS redirect could both be things built into browsers, true. But as it stands they're extensions, and pretty

   The idea of an extension-free browsing experience is horrific, to me. I couldn't live without uBlock Origin. Browsing without extensions is fine if you're okay with being tracked and bombarded with advertisements ad nauseam. I cou

   That's why I like the BBC; they link to the study the article is discussing, and have always done so.

   Ha, small world indeed. I mostly play as an Anon, after losing my last account (can't even recall the username). I think you've bested me a fair few times. :)

   I was reading about the UK's upcoming GDPR implementation on the BBC earlier, and I assumed the ban on reidentification would apply to service providers and businesses etc., and not to researchers or private individuals with legitimate

    I appreciate you summarising the article, thanks! I really couldn't stand the writing style the author used — I understand peppering your writing with jokes, but there were far too many attempts at 'humour' for my taste.

    Hopefully some people step forward, I'd hate to see MPC-HC come to an end. :(

    Paracetamol is the far more common name. In the US and a handful of other countries they call it "acetaminophen", though.

    As a Brit, I would have no idea what "Tylenol" is, so I'd question the usefulness of using brand names.

    Same here -- I'm a British male, 20s. I use kk casually and always have. I've never thought of it as being "feminine" in any shape or form.

    Same. Maybe I'll make a point of not appending the "mdn" and just scrolling down until I find the MDN result, in the future.

    You pay for BBC's TV programmes; you don't pay for the BBC's online news.

    Probably a silly question, but what's the "obvious reason" for using XXXYYY in this paragraph? " Some DEC code seems to have gone really overboard with this, with single source files having half a dozen different XXXYYY

    No, people use 'definition' in that way too.

    Awesome. :) I know how difficult affiliate advertising can be, sometimes. Perhaps conventional ads would work better for the site?

    There's a referral link in the lower right corner of your site. A few seconds after the page loads, clicking anywhere on the page takes you to hidemyass.com. I don't know if this was intentional on your part, but if so it's

    It's the idea you need a caloric deficit of 3,500 kcal in order to lose 1lb of fat that they're describing as 'overly simplistic', based on this study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/

    Coca Cola definitely tried to market Coke Zero to a male audience (it was described as 'Bloke Coke' in UK newspapers [1] around launch), but I think it's popular today not because of the marketing, but because it's a go

    Out of interest, if I may ask, did you start using Huel to fix a nutritional deficiency of some sort, or did you simply like the appeal? I've heard a fair few people say they feel generally healthier or 'better' after beginni

    I wonder if this applies to Huel ( https://huel.com ), essentially the British version of Soylent.
