Since Credit Suisse closed most of them over the last decades and Switzerland essentially killed its banking privacy, they must have moved to some other place with more "protection"? Would be interesting to see some leaks with more recent data e.g. from some US banks.

Some level of deafness might also explain their claim that it should be able to fly overland without upsetting residents down below...

It is possible to take part in EU science programs and funding like Horizon 2020 without strictly being an EU member. For example, Switzerland used to participate in such programs almost the same way member states do (including receiving funding, but of course also by funding it itself).

Unfortunately, the EU really likes using such programs to put pressure to non-member states for completely unrelated negotiations, and as a result has recently excluded Switzerland from Horizon 2020. I wouldn't be surprised if they used the same tactics also against the UK in the future.

How is this any different to National Security Letters which the US uses broadly to the same effect? The UK just want the same...

I don't see many people criticizing Juniper. Most seem to make fun of the US government and its three-letter agencies working against each other.

This is not entirely correct. Ampere is an SI base unit while Coulomb is a SI derived unit (defined as 1 C = 1 A s) - not the other way round.

Does it need to? It seems tax systems based on self-reporting and trust can work quite well (provided the taxes are reasonably low and people have a say in how the money is spent, as it should be in any democracy). For example, tax fraud is assumed to be low in Switzerland compared to its neighbor states despite the government having no way to know whether people self-report correctly.

From the related MS13-022 security bulletin: "Most customers have automatic updating enabled and will not need to take any action because this security update will be downloaded and installed automatically. "

Unless you're one of those "smart" people that use windows but disable windows update ...

Correction: dreadful *Web*-font rendering. Normal system fonts are quite ok.

It can't possibly be worse than Chrome which has dreadful font rendering on Windows.

Given the US spying and cyberwar against the whole world, these chinese attempts are hardly relevant in practice.

So, what was Apple's attitude when you asked them why they couldn't implement this the standard way? After all, its seems Apple is doing it wrong, not VLC.

They are doing this already, e.g. Office 365 for $9.99 per month (includes licenses for up to 5 PCs)

It seems to me the real problem here is not the purportedly offensive jokes or the public tweet, but that people can actually get fired over a simple joke or tweet (and the law actually allows this).

Google.com has customers in the EU, so EU law applies as well. This is also true the other way around, and enforced by the US on a daily basis.
