So basically they have decided to adopt a 'standard' that no one, even Microsoft, implements correctly? I assume they mean the ISO one.
Just demand that they only use software that implements it correctly according to the standard and what them have fun.

We'd have the mind-numbing processing power to get my garage door open, and one less US state.

Little known, odd, but I loved it. Wish I could find the hardware and a copy of the software somewhere. But I can't find the software and the hardware is getting trick to find.
Look it up, it was great...but odd and way ahead of it's time.

SysRq? You use that key? Does that do anything any more except when doing stuff with the kernel?

Erm....stalls? The unionist parties are the ones blocking it. The SNP are a minority government and when all the unionist parties (including the two how are for holding a referendum on the voting system in the UK and are in government) said they would not back it as it was the wrong time for a referendum, so there was no way the bill would pass.
For some reason the unionist parties are hell bent on not having a referendum that they keep saying they will win easily. Kinda makes you wonder just how accurate the polls they keep troting out are.

I really expect an app from National Rail to be arriving any time now
.
Based on my experience of Network Rail, now will not be very soon, be half as big as it needs to be and they will give a lame excuse. The app will also fail randomly, give totally implausible reasons for failure and will make late for work what ever you do.

Geek Squad Sends Cease-and-Desist Letter To God Squad 357
An anonymous reader writes "A Wisconsin priest has God on his car but Best Buy's lawyers on his back. Father Luke Strand at the Holy Family Parish in Fond Du Lac says he has received a cease-and-desist letter from the electronics retailer. From the article: 'At issue is Strand's black Volkswagen Beetle with door stickers bearing the name "God Squad" in a logo similar to that of Best Buy's Geek Squad, a group of electronics troubleshooters. Strand told the Fond du Lac Reporter that the car is a creative way to spur discussion and bring his faith to others. Best Buy Co. tells the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that it appreciates what Strand is trying to do, but it's bad precedent to let groups violate its trademarks.'"
