Wait.. what is this? A Government talking sense! Wow! Most of my friends 'acquire' digital content. All spend money on cinema, entertainment events, video games and legit DVD's and box sets of things they really like. In all cases the decis

I'm British, I prefer this identity to being European. You can see with the single currency that one size doesn't fit all. Flying under one giant flag reduces individual states ability to stimulate their economy and promote a certain sector

This looks like a pretty good last resort. I find that majority of iPad issues can be solved by just resizing safari to the iPad dimensions. Most issues I come across appear on both platforms so troubleshooting isn't too bad.

I see the benefits of Europe but I do not like how the EU is moving towards a single mega state. This isn't what I want the EU to be or do. If anyone should be lobbied it should be your countries government, not the EU.

Updated my comment. Scary thing is you still haven't responded to the fact your FAQ points towards a complete disregard to data protection. You could have shut me up instantly by saying. "The FAQ is poorly written. There is no formal way to

Honest answer.. I don't know. Its not so much about encryption. It is more about data protection and restricting data access. In their FAQ regarding if they have access to account information... "Yes. But with 100s of people using the app,

You should read what I said more carefully. I said it is worrying that the app has got this far and you do not know more about it. Your post sounded like you know little about the technical side of the application. This might not be the cas

I like Zed Shaw's style. I feel it really helps things stick with the way it is taught. I also feel the 'go find out yourself' methodology sets you up well going forward as you learn to depend on yourself to solve problems instead of the au

The charges seem a bit 'iffy' to me. Apparently if the girl doesn't enjoy the sex in Sweden it is rape... Aren't the two charges. He didn't use a condom and he coerced a girl to sleep with him? That said I now have little sympathy for him.
