Isn't "lease a crib" just renting?

Oh, I see, you mean a baby crib, not an apartment or a house...

There was a cyclone that devastated a large swathe of Mozambique, and this small portion of Zimbabwe (Zim) was affected, not any of the major towns or cities. On the Zim side, NGO's, Charities, Medics etc, arrived in large numbers to assist.

They found that, in spite of the terrain, the signal from the Mozambican Mobile Networks was pretty strong on the Zim side of the border, and many of them stayed because of the combination of speed and price, as Zim prices for ANYTHING are often exorbitant, and the Zim networks can often be pretty slow in major urban areas due to network congestion.

You can only connect to the Mozambican Networks in certain parts of Mutare and other border towns, and even then, you suffer from low and spotty signal strength.

Actually, much of Africa does have fibre.

I've had fibre to my home in Zimbabwe since early 2016.

I actually got fibre to the home at my Zimbabwe address (urban), before I got it at my UK address (rural)

A company called Liquid Telecom (the largest of several providers) has been laying fibre ALL over Africa, and the prices aren't that bad either.

Sadly, this is untrue.

If what you said or did is only known to the government (because it was censored), how will anyone know if the government is telling the truth?

Or, one could use a confession as ones password, e.g. "I shot the sheriff, and buried him in the woods under the old oak tree."

Suitably long, and also guarantees that telling law enforcement or the courts would be self-incrimination.

Don't know how one would prove that though, perhaps tell ones lawyer the password, who could then testify on your behalf that the password is self-incriminating, but they are legally obliged to keep the actual password privileged.

That should tie the courts up in deliberations for quite a while, although I guess they could offer you immunity for the crime in the password, but that runs the risk of letting you off for murder & then discovering that the evidence in the phone actually exonerates you of the current charges.

Long, long ago in the murky and misty history of the early internet, a young script kiddie, (most likely with an overinflated ego), tragically mistyped "Owned", probably due to having excessively greasy fingers, as is common with many basement-dwelling connoisseurs of junk-food.

Instead of "Owning" his opponent, he "Pwned" himself!

Word spread rapidly, generating much mirth in the community, and a meme was born.

You jest, but it's been thought of before:

That would be most desirable ;-)

Indeed, and I'm sure the IRS has the power to audit them if they suspect wrongdoing, much like HMRC will do in the UK. If they are found to be breaking the law, throw ALL the books at them.

What I have a problem with, is what seems to be happening in the US and the UK, where large companies are being summoned to explain their tax activities in front of a congressional/parliamentary committee. This is just plain wrong. By all means prosecute them if they are found to be breaking the law, but these "hearings" are not they way to check the legality of their actions.

It seems to me that the elected representatives are making a big fuss to try and shame these companies into paying more tax, and and at the same time, make the electorate think that something is being done. What they should do instead, if they feel the current system is not working is: fix the broken tax laws.

Maybe my use of the word "date" was incorrect.

I was referring to being a "two-timing son-ofa-bitch".

Even though I agree with you point that (Legal != Right && Illegal != Wrong), cayenne8 still has a valid point.

Everyone's moral code is different, which is why we have laws, so that there is a firm reference to what is allowed, and what is prohibited.

It might be wrong for me to date two women at the same time, but it's not illegal. As such, I could perfectly understand anyone calling me a prick for doing it, but that's about as far as it should go.

I wouldn't expect to be called in front of the authorities to explain myself, which is what is happening to Apple, and other companies around the world. If they have broken the law, then there are systems to deal with that, but if what they are doing is perfectly legal, then leave them alone, and change the law if their actions bother you so much.

It's already started, there are more than a few people who are becoming "entrapped" in the online world, there was a guy who died (IRL) from playing games for too long: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1544131/Man-dies-after-7-day-computer-game-session.html

It's could also due to a low-rez environment, increase the resolution to 4K or more, and see what happens! (Just Kidding)
