wow.... way to try to turn it into something it's not.
you do realise the there is a coalition in power in the Welsh Assembly don't you?
Plaid Cymru(nationalist) and Labour(Westminster based Party) so your point is moot and just shows your OWN political leaning.
just because something is positive for the Welsh and originates from the Welsh Assembly doesn't mean it's anti-English or negative
and no i am NOT Welsh, i am Scottish but we get the same crap when our Parliament does it's job in looking after the people here.
if you don't like it.... do what we did, campaign for your own devolved parliament and stop whining about how successfully the devolved parliaments are doing their job for their electorate

erm.. did he/she?

just shows what side of the pond he/she is from and also shows that you are a yank..lol

erm.... as they say here in Scotland .... what a bell-end KlomDark is

it's fucking prison? they are there to be punished so why let them have games consoles and such?

so that's what his colleagues meant when they called him a lying motherfucker! :P

really? vendor applied spyware? .......
well i got an HTC android device from vodafone uk... and guess what apple fanboi ac??.... no crapware... spyware or any such shit on it.also i don't need to get it unlocked as it's not locked to the vodafone network as my last trip to Denver from the UK showed when i slipped a US SIM into it...... no unlock code needed at all.....

i can also install whatever the fuck i want on my phone from where-ever the fuck i want

you moron, it's a CASH CROP
from your link

Oxfam Australia is helping Ecerina and her community grow a special variety of drought-tolerant pineapples. Once the crop is nurtured using minimal water, this super fruit can then be eaten, traded for other vegetables or sold at the market for much needed income.
By selling her pineapples, Ecerina can afford to buy food as well as school materials for her grandchildrenl. Her grandchildren are now healthier and happier.

and TechLA chimes in again on the side of microsoft......
what a blatant shill

aye it's a hanging offence up here!....LOL

even at that bud, i'd tell the guy to jam it
i doubt there's very much he could do about it and if he did try he'd most probably be breaking the law in some way ;)

the Law is DIFFERENT in Scotland you know........ because we have a separate and distinct legal system.
while you are correct in saying that they might be able to stop you taking a pic there's no chance that a security muppet from a private firm has any rights to confiscate your property.. in Scotland that would theft along with "wilful deprivation of property"
Also doing so i Glasgow would be a bold move..lol the Weedgies would have yer eye out for less! i asked a mate of mine who is a Lothian and Borders(Edinburgh area) police officer and he said and i quote "that's a load of balls bud, they can't really stop you and definitely cannot take your kit, the force of law is not on their side" he then told me what the security dude could be charged with for taking your kit. Also under certain circumstances if the security "man-handle" you they can be done for assault as well!

the nurses were just holding him the wrong way!

no they are NOT AC scaremonger... i have

ad it boasts a funky range of features including /uefi and guess what???? you can disable secure boot!
so basically you talk crapioca or just make assumptions without any actual knowledge and spout....... crapioca

ummmmm UEFI is REPLACING BIOS
so perhaps you mean entering the UEFI and switching off the secure boot option?????????
mind you that's IF the OEM gives you that option in the UEFI
i always build my own so won't have this problem and indeed in my new sandybridge Asus P8Z68-V PRO Z68 mobo i do have that option.. all good
i even tried it with windows 8 legitimately downloaded from HERE
and i have to say that windows 8 sucks major dick and i'll just leave the gaming with windows 7 thanks very much
so it boils down to ... build your own and keep control of running whatever you want on your machine ....or buying OEM and running what they let you ... unless you are lucky enough to be able to have the ability to turn off secure boot...... those are the APPARENT choices at the moment
