I might try this. I've been exclusively using a Nokia 2G dumbphone for 2 years now. Just calls and texts (and snake, oh and it also has a flashlight) There are obviously times when I would benefit from Google Maps or being able to list

How would you differentiate between a screenshot of an email in gmail and a screenshot of an email in gmail where someone had inspected the source and changed the text before screenshotting?

In the UK cards still have a signature strip on the back and if a merchant notices you haven't signed your card they legally have to refuse to accept it. I rarely remember to sign my cards and this tripped me up one time last year when

I'm applying for Polish citizenship (available to me through my Polish grandfather) in order to retain my EU citizenship in case I'm forced to leave the UK. I would be very concerned as to what right to live and work elsewhere in

That's the kicker though. For the vast majority of people popularity == accuracy.

No. It made no sense and I thought it was kinda off-putting to the actual narrative.

That's a very good point

There is a suggestion that HSBC and others may have been working with inside knowledge. Blackrock also hired the outgoing chancellor of the UK George Osborne who was responsible for awarding vast numbers of contract to Carillion.

The same BlackRock that's just made a killing short selling shares in the failed UK public sector contractor Carillion?

Yes, hopefully this won't now happen.

Hopefully this means I'm not going to have to explain to my kids why Youtube doesn't work on the TV anymore at the end of this month.

It's good advice but completely irrelevant to this incident.

If you look at the screenshot of the code it isn't an injection. It's a deliberate redirect page put in to delay you for 10 seconds whilst they mine bitcoin.

The OP on twitter states otherwise. It was observed by him in several Starbucks locations in Argentina. https://twitter.com/imnoah/status/941050946100097024

This wasn't injected though. It's a splash screen that pretends to load for 10 seconds (whilst mining) before forwarding the user on to some starbucks rewards site.

In what sense is the EU a foreign actor? The EU is a union of nations of which the United Kingdom is a member, and (up until it started to chop its own dick off) one of the most powerful members at that.

The terrorism act, of course, doesn't apply to any act of terrorism either sanctioned by or approved of by the government.

This is largely true. For the most part, for most people, if they're aware of the story behind Guy Fawkes at all it's limited to him being "Some guy that tried to blow up the houses of parliament". I mean, sure. He alleg
