The country is run by the Civil Service which is directed by the Cabinet, which is appointed by the Prime Minister. So while the Civil Service is run by permanent employees they are basically at the whim of whoever happens to be in power at

Scotland maybe, though if people have any sense they'll make sure the business is all done first and tell them to cool their heels. Northern Ireland has absolutely no chance of seceding, they can't go it alone as a separate countr

I think for Rage it was an idea ahead of its time, but they're still used in the new Doom which doesn't seem to have the same issues and has been praised for good optmisation.

UWP apps (excluding the start menu) all just have a splash screen when you launch them, it doesn't have anything to do with 'speed'.

You buy items from the marketplace (normally keys) and then sell them on a third party site or arrange a deal with a private buyer, I think it normally nets you around 70-80% of the original amount but I'm not up to date with it.

We're in the middle of trying to establish a high speed corridor at the moment, I'm all for it personally but honestly it's been a ludicrously expensive project so far and the opposition to it is huge and mounting. https:&#x

If you upgraded recently Windows keeps files that allow it to downgrade to the old version, you can check by going to Disk Clean-up then select the UAC protected option in there and it might have some upgrade files you can delete. Aside fro

Categorising the UK as a small regional player shows a ridiculously limited world view.

I really hate this argument, the change in GDP share is because the West industrialised and the East didn't, before that it was mostly a matter of population, per capita GDP didn't matter so much. Not to say I have any idea what w

Well, this is derived from the Windows 10 edition which is a version of the original C++ pocket edition code, and has cross platform multiplayer I believe, I'd be surprised if they don't come out with a Linux/Max version even

I think this is a change from that honestly, if I'm remembering correctly UK tax law was changed so that companies deemed to be going against the spirit of the law after an audit could be forced to pay the appropriate amount of tax - I

IIRC the tax law in the UK was changed to more of a spirit of the law idea a while ago and this is presumably the first signs of that being applied. I think it's related to this, but this is just what I can remember from some articles

It will be over compressed, current Blu-ray discs offer a maximum bitrate of 40Mb/s for the video component, though I think it's more typical for it to be around 25Mb/s. Netflix is currently using 15.6Mb/s for 4k streams

I can't speak for Spain and Sweden, but in the UK there are only two companies who provide internet infrastructure (though one is required to lease their network out to the market for competition reasons), as far as I'm aware they

In Britain we'd probably go with Native American in a formal context, American Indian might be used but probably isn't as common anymore I'd say, Red Indian would be understood as well but it's a bit dated, I assume that

I never understand this viewpoint, I read the BBC for online news and the Telegraph at home, it's very easy to see which one is pro government/pro Tory. The BBC is basically going to be gutted by the current government, I don&#x27

A lot of crime will be linked with alcohol, it's an inhibition lowering drink, and in my experience a 'mood amplifier' if you will. You get a 'violent' person drinking, you get an angry drunk who'll go looking

This is just ridiculous, yeah you get some people who get a bit lairy and go out looking for a fight, but if anything most people are much more friendly and sociable when they've been drinking.

Can't say much for America, but in the UK our own HS2 high speed rail line, which probably won't be too far longer than 200 miles of track in total is projected to cost £40bn, with some suggestions that the true cost will be close

It sounds silly when you look at the weights involved, but the first and second generation models really aren't fun to use as a tablet for any extended period of time, just slightly too heavy and the form factor means you can't re
