BBC isn't a company in the traditional sense, it's a public service established by charter. The UK can and does "force" it to do many things. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC#Charter

More to the point, as a Brit living in the USA, I'd be more than happy to pay my license fee from here and keep watching. Right now I "steal" it, which makes me feel bad every time I fire up the VPN. BBC: I will pay you. Othe

Two things the 1990s got right and (in my opinion) have never really been replaced: Pointcast and Moodlogic. Moodlogic worked on my library, I could choose any song, then it would craft a variable length playlist based on that song's m

Hospitals are low margin/break even because they choose to be - but that's another topic. >IT security doesn't really produce any revenue. Hospitals (and the health care industry at large) has been drowning in billions-wit

Well, I suppose we need to define country, nation, and state first. England annexed Wales, so there must have been a country to annex. Your quote lists Wales as a country. The nation, i.e. the peoples with a common language and culture and

The two are not mutually exclusive. "Countries" can be all sorts of things, including Principalities, Monarchies, Republics. Luxembourg, the country, is also a Grand Duchy. Sounds pretty spiffy. But if the Grand Duke stops being i

Shwmae, (third?) Welshman checking in. The legal entity that was a Principality ended in 1542, but the P word has stuck over the centuries as a sort of colloquial reference, strongly enough that even ISO only got it right a few years ago. S

I once had a 60 day contract take a year and a half to get signed after I won it. We had to be ready each and every day of that year and a half to start the work...

Follow the RFPs he would like to work on, see who wins them, call them, pitch product/service. Bring along certification of small business and make the small business vehicle the pitch, not the product/service. Let's say I ne

The federal government is not a for-profit corporation intent on profit. Consider it more as a social service mission driven non-profit. Federal contracting is mission-driven by specific regulation, whether it be defense or health or transp

It's not ridiculous, but it can be costly to document and certify in a non-standard method that upsets your routine workflow. In a larger entity, you can soak the hit and assign it to someone to deal with who maybe has some spare time

We run a data/dev shop inside a non-profit 400 person company that is mostly gov contracting. _We_ will come courting. Most of our contracts require us to satisfy some percentage from five to 20% small business/woman/minority

As an employer, if I had ten employees who all thought FHRITP was funny, and one of them got drunk enough to pull this stunt on television, I would consider that one out of ten had a serious judgement problem and nine had some semblance of

Because for Swiss people like you, Welsh people like us don't like doing business with Bavarians who call us English. Maybe if you weren't Austrian, you'd understand.

My read is that the fund managers created an additional $2B in exceeded expectation/value, then billed 97% of that created value. In other words, stay home, don't use these guys, don't pay them $2B, get the same returns. That

The entire OP is anecdote. I'm a gamer. I'm in a guild. We have female members. We all, regardless of gender, have at some point been the target of idiots trying to bully. While it is impossible to deny the existence of the cesspi

In your previous comment, you took the view that your sentiments reflected a global representation, and you short-changed the person who replied to you for being so silly as to think you were talking about the USA when in fact you were talk
