Hey, great point ! I wanted to buy property in Thailand but found I'm not legally allowed to because I'm not a Thai citizen. That's got me thinking, what about the social responsibility of southeast Asians towards Americans w

I'm really surprised there is no mention of SOGo ( http://www.sogo.nu/ ). It has a nice mail interface plus calendaring and even provides mobile device integration via an Exchange compatible interface (so your mobile dev

The blog has the date (at the end) and also prominently at the top : "UPDATE: Google has corrected this behavior as of Android OS 5.0 (“Lollipop”)" However, it is very odd that the account was created 24 days ago and has submitted

The downvotes for the original poster in this thread are probably due to the rather vitriolic sounding language used. But, setting that aside and responding to your question : It's ironic that if you had ever followed Private Eye, you

If there is other evidence to meet balance of probabilities, it's irrelevant whether you say something or not. Saying something is more likely to cause you trouble and open up avenues to hang you out to dry. Of course, were that to be

Unfortunately, that's not how the "politically & economically powerful demographic in the world" works. What you will see is lots of new laws to crack down on hackers, encryption and any type of computing not specifical

Why is it that suddenly lots of people are commenting about Android spying as much as Win10 ? This has never been a hugely commented upon topic but, as soon as concerns are raised about Win10, lots of people seem to respond that it's

It has long been discussed within the Jewish community that lots of children of survivors can be really screwed up - not just their parents. This sounds like an attempt to examine this to find something other than anecdotal evidence and to

Despite Tony Blair pushing through changes to allow corporate bodies to use defamation laws, it's still pretty rare and an uphill struggle. The McLibel case showed how dangerous it is for a company to resort to that sort of litigation

Working in the legal system for many years, it was always very clear that these are courts of law, never courts of justice. The legal system requires minor technical hurdles to be passed to "prove" guilt. Experienced prosecutors

Facebook (et al) already hand over user data to UK and other authorities. There is no need for any MITM certificate and even if there was, these companies would just do it since it makes it easier for them to say to authorities they alread

Charles Dickens perfectly described it in Little Dorrit when he described the Circumlocution Office[1]. Having worked with such people, I can confirm they still exist in the UK public sector and have only increased their power. They have a

Starting a company in the UK is trivial. Any accountant will set one up for around 100 pounds (more if they're in London). For small companies, accounting rules are fairly relaxed (no audits required, just basic accountant review). C

I don't think so. It's a long time since any UK politician resigned on principle or on honor. I think the late Robin Cook was the last (over the Iraq invasion which he believed was illegal). Private Eye has an endless stream of &
