I don't see a problem with kids having a computing class, just as they have history, biology, physical ed, etc classes. I do have an issue with the glamorisation, rockstar bandwagon that people outside the industry have jumped on. Pr

Glad to hear this. When did geeks start looking like yuppies?

Everywhere is blowing their own horn to try to attract wealth creation. Everywhere wants to be the euro silicon valley. I don't see it in London, for all their crowing, and I expect London is too expensive for collectives of young in

There was a post a few days back about the Spanish government cracking down on piracy, which looks like a sneaky way of encouraging open source. Looks like Europe is trying to loosen ties.

I would think the other Amazon markets are subsidising the books, rather than the shareholder. Does free market theory expect bookshop competition to be between bookshops, homogeneous, or heterogeneous, between bookshops and consumer elect

Very nice, except for the typesafe blue that crept in at the bottom. That site needs an overhaul.

It'll be fine - "Mr Osborne himself has inspected the test rig"!? The UK gov will jump at any potential economy booster ('scuse) right now.

Exactly. Responding to a complaint that was never made. Straw man.

C. And worsening. I'm looking at moving in the opposite direction, from London to Spain/Portugal/France. I don't know why anyone who lives close enough to pop over to London for a break would want to live here. Unles

I thought we already saw? There were some token payments, a fraction of the amount owed, sufficient to placate the majority not bothering with the details. David Cameron is weak and serves the Bullingdon types - BBC news this morning: ht

"This is a good move on the part of the US" - not in terms of foreign relations.

I don't follow US news - is that what they're telling the voters?

Indeed. And seven agents for a case of beer? Green card applications dropping much?

"He's a dead man walking" - surely Obama and friends couldn't deal with the outrage that would follow? Their image is already shot. The death of Snowden would put them on par with mafia.

I'd expect it's less brave for someone from an industry and social circles comfortable with implants, injections scalpels, etc, and with a bit more than a "livelihood" to ease the experience. The experience would surely be more foreign to
