I "inherited" one of these from a colleague about a decade ago when his girlfriend really wanted him to get rid of a "bunch of crap". I got his box of approx. 100 floppy disks from his childhood too. I had very mixed f

I don't trust Apple to do the right thing here. I don't think they'll make a rash decision, but I can't really trust them to make the correct decision. Honestly, at this kind of scale I e.g. think US/EU legisligatio

That headline: "Finding meteorites in your gutters is easy"! Iron space dust that is fine enough to escape incineration as “shooting stars” when entering Earth's atmosphere drifts down continuously. To collect these small ir

Agreed. I'd want to be a customer of that bank. Banks should be on the offense against fraud by default.

You know: I'd rather not. It would send me an even nastier wave of downvotes and flaggings. Commenting on this was clearly a mistake. Please carry on.
