I love that this is getting down-voted. Because the liberal agenda is more important than scientific biological facts to some people :)

Agreed. When they say something like 90% of all new businesses fail, that doesn't mean you shouldn't start a new business, it just means a lot of stupid ill prepared people start businesses and fail. Which has absolutely no bearin

2. The problem here is that you can't train a bulldog to herd sheep. You can't train a poodle to be a livestock guardian. Much of what working dogs do is pre-programmed. It's instinctive. Very little (if any) training is requ

Shame they can't issue wildcard certs. I don't see why they cannot.

Why would your ISP allow you to send packets with a source address it hasn't allocated to YOU? That kind of check/enforcement is pretty cheap and simple.

There is still a cost. And that cost is going to be passed on to everyone whether you use it or not.

So the cost incurred will be passed on to everyone in higher fees. eg people who never "roam" are going to be subsidising those people that do. A negative move spun as a positive... clever EU, clever.

There's a reason for that though - land in Scotland isn't as useful or valuable.

XML generators and parsers have been in use for a decade+. Pretty sure most of the bugs have been found and fixed by now. It's just reinventing the wheel because the new generation don't want to use the same tools the previous gen

"Lane changes" aren't really much of a thing in the UK either. Firstly, in the UK they aren't 'equal' lanes. They are for overtaking only. Undertaking is illegal. So we don't just change lanes willy-nilly.

I would also say Cruise control results in more dangerous driving. If you're traveling at a constant speed, things get boring FAST. It's easy to just get bored, stop paying attention and zone out. Cruise control isn't as big

In the UK we have "average speed cameras". They are dotted along a road, and monitor cars individually by their license plate. I would argue they make drivers far less safe, because whilst on such a road, drivers are glued to thei

It's scary to hear such ridiculous propaganda. This is just as bad as Trump labeling areas in the UK "no go zones". It's just garbage.

Don't get used to it... If it's an "experiment", and "free", then it will likely get shutdown.
