That’s not possible because the same service doesn’t exist anymore. If you want cheap telephony, get cheap voip telephony. It’s almost free.

Sorry, if the chances are one in a billion, and there’s 7 billion to choose from it’s actually not rare at all. That’s why you should be very careful to either use this kind of evidence either to find a suspect or as proof, and not both. Bu

As noted on this page in the Netherlands the network was already switched off and I can confirm the sky has not fallen. Yes, for some applications you need new hardware. So people got new hardware.

> the odds of two unrelated people matching at all of them are less than one in 1 billion. Sounds like on a world with 7 billion people for each crime there are on average 7 people that can be convicted using the incontrovertible evidenc

Poaching other companies’ star employees is obviously appreciated by no one. That’s why there are non compete clauses etc. You may or may not agree that that is reasonable, but it certainly is not exceptional and does not make Steve Jobs lo

Most people have no idea and give it up, that’s for sure. The people directly elected, the European Parliament, can’t introduce new rules and only get to rubber stamp rules made by others. Meanwhile the rules are introduced by the European

It’s not about defense, how are you going to go to war against a country that shares your currency, your market and your rules and that has basically no border control with you?

I’m sure there’s free options, yet if I am a normal user and go to download the JRE, or “download Java”, this is the page I end up on: https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp With the big warning that we shoul

I don’t know and don’t care enough to see if it is actually real but it appears as if there is a big licensing problem with Java that makes me not want to touch it with a ten feet pole.

So, as you describe, the people who make these very important decisions are two steps away from democracy, the public has no way to hold them responsible for their actions and they are elected in politicized back room deals. In turn, the pe

The great success of the EU is that it has stopped the member countries from going to war with each other. Apart from that it is an expensive, overreaching institute of busybodies with very little democratic control. Some of the policies th
