Possibly he was expelled because the software supplier demanded that he be. It would be interesting to know the nationality of the supplier, but I'm going to hazard a guess that it is from the USA, because in the USA corporate threats of litigation are a preferred technique for avoiding bad PR.

Who bought the third party software with the security flaw? What, if anything, was their relationship to the vendor?

European culture will cease to exist? Of course not, it will just continue to evolve. Thankfully, because we still have a long way to go to end sexism and racism, and the bad influence of some of the churches.

"Prisons are build with stones of the Law, brothels with bricks of religion".

Prophetic.

Exactly, and this is how the Misuse of Computers Act is applied. The clue is in the name. A Government spokesperson has already advised people not to use their real names on social media websites, often contrary to the TOS, for security reasons.

He was making a valid point, and not (as per Godwin's Law) comparing anything to the Nazis. WW2 rather changed my father's career plans and caused him considerable inconvenience. After the War, there was little promotion opportunity for Navy officers with combined ops experience, but he found another job. Changing the mould of European history resulted in a lot of casualties, but the usual Franco-Germanic war every 20-40 years is now long overdue and unlikely to recur.

Curved wrenches are for awkward bolt placement.

A British direct marketer wrote that a list of 500 gullible rich people would give him an income for life.

A soldier changes gender when he goes on sentry duty. Le soldat, la sentinelle. Go figure.

Said Victoria to Albert, "it's chilly,
And I don't like the look of the ghillie,
So rather than quarrel,
Let's go back to Balmoral,
And play some nice games with your Wilie."

There...no profanity at all and nothing anyone could object to.

"Nice button you got there, mouse","Thanks. Your esc key is pretty cool".

Add complement/compliment to brakes/breaks, lose/loose, rein/reign, toe/tow and all the other illiteracies spelling checkers have foisted on us.

You know it was because Stalin executed all the competent senior officers in the Purges? Without Stalin's paranoia, WW2 might not have happened, or would have ended in 1942.

It was Stalin who said that WW2 was won by Russian blood, American resources, and British brains. Most US innovation was post WW2, though US machine tools in WW2 were excellent and contributed a great deal to eventual victory. Both Germany and the UK during WW2 were centers of innovation, and it was lucky for us that we concentrated on things like the magnetron, digital data processing, nuclear energy and advanced aircraft while the Germans spent so much effort on missiles and efficient ways of killing unwanted people. (the Mosquito stealth bomber was one of the most effective weapons of WW2 and did far more damage to the German war effort than either the V1 or the V2 did to the UK).

As well as its meaning of pulling a sailing ship on its side to expose the bottom for anti-fouling or hull repair purposes, the idea of movement in a curve certainly coexisted. I'm thinking of "Lucifer in starlight" by James Meredith:

"And now upon his western wing he leaned;
Now his huge bulk o'er Africa careened
Now the strange planet shadowed Arctic snows"
