Apparently there's a difference between a Royal Pardon and a Statutory Pardon. Parliament would have been debating the latter; this is the former (which the government had previously ruled out), it seems.

It's on the front page of the Guardian. Not fake.

You could not be more wrong. Technological "solutions" can only punt the issue down the road a few months or years, after which your "solution" will also be outlawed, and never mind the collateral damage. The problem lie

It doesn't make sense. It's set up that way for historical reasons, and because the folk in charge have always really prioritised 1) over 2), and hence have had no motivation to suggest a better alternative. While a separate organ

First time I came here, I was so out of it (through being tired) by the time I got to Auckland that when the dog came up and started wagging at my bag I found myself bending down to pet it before thinking "What's this dog doing in

It's been and gone a few times over the years on that route. At times immigration but no baggage claim, at times transit lounge (actually I'm not sure I ever did go through when that was in force, I think it came and went in-betwe

This is utter rubbish; the negative effects on health of any activity or substance clearly cannot be judged by merely trying it. Think DDT, asbestos, thalidomide, and a massive list of other misadventures that we've tried over the past

In case the author reads this - just FYI your site is being blocked by Fortiguard as "malicious". I'm guessing either your site has been compromised or something nasty has been served up by an ad network at some point (maybe

While this is a subject I would be interested in, I took one look at the front page, saw that it appeared to be video-only, and gave up. This is precisely the reaction that news sites get from me when I click on a link to a story and find v

No. It might be a rip-off if you have your own phone, though. It could be all sorts of things (cheap credit, loss-leader etc.) but I doubt it ever qualifies as subsidy.

"Literally; Al Qaeda, and an substantial proportion of all muslims everywhere" Non-sequitur. No matter how true it may be for Al Qaeda, for which people may feel they have seen evidence, you provide absolutely no backing for your

I don't think there's any indication that they actually thought destroying the hard drives would stop anything; seems more likely that: 1) They didn't want anyone else to get access to the material that the Guardian had but w

Sounds familiar; I used to use it on our II+, so I was rather bemused by all these people telling me they (II+) didn't have it. I don't have access to my Apples at the moment, so can't check the details, but I'm now curi

Mini-assembler was in all II, II+ and //e. II had Integer Basic, II+ and //e had Applesoft. Can't remember which ones had SWEET16 though. May also be "all of them". If all you want is LISP, burn it into an

I would assume that the NSA had already forcibly installed something that would compromise all further access to lavabit mail. Therefore the only option that doesn't reveal data is immediate shutdown.

"No longer"? It could never be trusted, and many of us said so when it was first introduced. It's just taken a while for everyone else to realise that we were right.

That'll be because it's only been in the docs since they reported their issue.

I'm interested to see reference to a failed assassination attempt on Churchill, using a pistol - I've not heard of this before, and can't immediately find it referenced anywhere else. Anyone?

I can't quite decide whether hiding the stupid with SSL would be a good thing or not. If done properly (incl. pinned cert(s)), it would mostly hide the stupid, which would help protect users - but also make it less likely that users would e
