NSFW subs can also contain no porn, though. Assume they will be blocked too.

Yah even 30 offices seems excessive.

It's a three way fucking. The only ones not fucking are the blokes, who ironically paid to fuck in the first place.

Consensual BDSM is not illegal. Adults can do what they please to each other. What changed was the certification of sexual acts on film for the R18 certificate, meaning they can be sold in sex shops. It's not even illegal to film and distribute these internationally. But if you want to sell legally in the UK certain acts will not be permitted.

The car analogy would work if MS were forced to release the source code once their support ends. That's how an old car would be dealt with - parts from the manufacturer until they stop making them, meaning a third party can step in and make the parts if there is a demand for them. the 'open' nature of a car allows this to happen. An open-source OS also permits this. A closed-source OS is different.

I guess the point is that if these organisms can survive the trip to Mars then we will never be certain if a discovered species on Mars came from us or developed independently. Genetic analysis could help but there still might be uncertainty. Now we know there is a non-zero chance of survival maybe we should stop worrying about contamination and get on with some terra-forming, so that the planet might be more hospitable by the time we are able to send people there.

I don't know, apostrophes can be used to indicate missing letters and it helps to highlight that regexp isn't really a word (yet).

The report was from PCPro.

Always wondered what Google's motives were for their huge investment in Street View...

Note that much of the Street View data already includes a 3D aspect and they have a very basic idea of the location of building surfaces.

If we're 3 ft deep in snow then I think I'd prefer to take control myself, thank you. Indeed it applies to any situation where the environment is not what the computer might be expecting.

I like the approach here though, the human has to teach the computer once but then the computer can contribute as & when needed. I can take control quickly if I need to.

The Orange brand is gone in the UK. My phone was Orange but now tells me i am on network EE. Most if not all the high st shops havebeen rebranded too.

Definitely the most important feature of the story and worth some discussion. The other side of the story, the whole lock someone up for an indeterminate amount of time with no idea of whether the broke a law or not part is just utterly played out.

Moderating as +0 a bit kooky.

You're wandering around shouting "i am this address, do you have service" so you can't be surprised if some recipients note that down.

Since when did correcting a wrong assertion become pedantry?
