I don't think that's at all true. There are many large organisations that spend a significant amount on staffing and marketing, masquerading as charities. The state-sponsored ones are some of the worst, as they're recycling t

Mystified as to why you seem to think this is in some way an American problem. We have lots of fake charities in the EU.

I'm currently using Vivaldi, but have to say that it's not really an ideal analogue of Chrome as it doesn't carry over some of the everyday features and affordances of Chrome. That's partly understandable, because it&#x2

I attempted it but extension support is not especially user-friendly.

I would be surprised if a highly-intelligent biologist with some background in genetics wrote such a document on a whim rather than on evidence and information acquired over the course of his academic work. I'm not saying it's imp

'Considering' isn't the same as 'exercising', though. Of course, you might reasonably ask what he has to gain by bluffing like that. Nothing comes to mind straight away.

Surely firing him and dealing with the lawsuit is far less expensive than having to deal with the fall-out from SJWs? This seems like it's primarily a business decision rather than one based on keeping within the law or not doing evil.

I get the impression he isn't so much malevolent in his actions, rather he behaves as a libertine and someone who takes the view that the end justify the means.

Whilst he's wrong from a geographical perspective, I assumed in good faith that he was talking about 'Europe', the political institution - which he'd still be wrong about. The UK is still part of the EU until it isn&#x27

Insurers also care about passenger risk. I assumed it was related to the safety and reliability profile of the car, as well as the profile of claims involving older cars (i.e., older cars possibly being involved in more claims).

I understand there's something of a bell-curve effect on insurance (in the UK, at least), whereby the cost of insuring cars of 10+ years of age increases. I'm curious to know how much of a difference that would make to the total c

He might not be a Blairite (okay, no 'might' about it), but it doesn't preclude him from authoritarian tendencies - he certainly has sympathies for them. Regardless, I think we're crediting pols too much with an agenda t

What makes you think this is entirely down to them (other than the usual eating-your-first-born tropes)? This stuff came to fruition under Labour - as I'm sure you'll acknowledge. Why not look at what both governments had in commo

This has the whiff of what might kindly be called activist research, particularly given the track record of the author(s). There may be legitimate questions and concerns, but I'm inclined to trust the Wellcome representative's ana

The Nook Simple Touch can be rooted. I found it to be a little bit unstable, but YMMV. http://nooktalk.net/blog/reliable-way-to-root-nook-simple-to... Simple Touch readers should be dirt-cheap.

Seems reasonable. I was hoping to see a few more, too! Only mention of the scrap metal project so far.

Slightly irrelevant: Raleway's legibility on the site is pretty poor (at least, for me).

No, they are separate things. There are non-EU states that use the Euro as a currency, which demonstrates that EU membership is not a necessity. The practicalities of a seceding member state retaining the Euro would probably be fraught with

You're confusing two different things: the EU and the Eurozone. The Eurozone is simply the currency union of several European states. The EU is the political union. Many, but not all, EU states are also members of the Eurozone. The imp

Not great! Plenty of vacancies for BAs and junior BAs alike, but they all stipulate experience. I've been looking for graduate BA vacancies, but - outside of London - they're few and far between. A few BA roles are also quite heav

I've been looking for stuff like this - thanks. I'm trying to start a career as a BA and expect that it will be handy to know SQL, which is fine, but I haven't been able to find anything out there that simulate the kind of sc

And not just why isn't there something that links legislative citations together, but why isn't there something that can tell laypeople what is current legislation and what isn't? In the UK, we have numerous acts of the same

Really! I had no idea. I barely ever see a reference to Bonn in anything I read about Germany these days; I'd formed the impression that everyone had moved in the 90s.

Would the German experience of transitioning from Bonn to Berlin be of much relevance here?
