It seems nuts to me that the Post Office was allowed to prosecute their own cases rather than pass what information they had to the police who could conduct an independent investigation.

As a mere consumer, I would prefer it if "capturing" was difficult. Society should not be optimized for those who want to "capture" entire markets.

In a power outage scenario, you're gonna be saving your mobile battery for more necessary requirements. The geeks can wait a few days for their new kernel version.

As someone who uses a dialect/accent of English that means I often pronounce these "silent" letters (e.g. I would pronounce the "h" in herb), I've often wondered if selection of "a" vs "an&quot

If you only give money away at your death, are you really giving it away? What else are you gonna do with it?

The fact that there are drug addicts and people with mental health problems is a problem that a public transport system cannot and should not solve. Seems you think you're rich enough to put a wall around yourself and never see these p
