I think that was his point - that he hadn't found an easy self-hosted alternative. Do you have one?

...a raspberry pi is half the cost of this,

He plead guilty.

Should he have been charged? Maybe, maybe not. But the option was always open to him to plead not guilty, and go to trial. I suspect that he would not have been convicted.

Whether a custodial sentence is appropriate is entirely another matter, but that really is a side issue.

...thought this was anything other than bullshit? How did this make the frontpage?

So what exactly is the problem that we're trying to solve?

No, increasingly they type themselves (hospitals are falling for the notion that this is a cost saving) or use voice to text software.

When it cannot be assumed to be the cause without further testing. Further harm - paient assumes that the reason that they have gone bright yellow is due to GS & does not seek medical help. (GS only causes mildly raised levels of Bilirubin.)

Wrong. Gilbert Syndrome is a biochemical abnormality of no practical significance. I'm afraid you've just proved the point of those with whom you disagree.

"The reason for this statement by the UK government is very simple - it has intranet and business systems in virtually every government department which work only with IE. They frequently ridiculously old versions at that - IE6 take a bow - giving the lie to the "latest, fully patched" comment anyway. There is no way that the UK government is going to incur the conversion costs for these systems at this moment given the state of its books at the moment. Stating that IE was insecure would create an inexorable pressure to do exactly that. This statement has nothing to with security, and everything to do with internal government politics.

How can you have a kid old enough to be left alone but not responsible enough to be trusted with a mobile?

Democrats don't lie to people, then send them in buses to town hall meetings to shout down the speakers while screaming irrationally. They don't sponsor commercials and meetings that specifically lie about the health care bill and spread fear. They don't send e-mails out talking about "death panels" just to scare people. They don't send talking points to a "News" organization, something that is technically illegal. Have you even SEEN the Republican party's speeches on government healthcare in Congressional meetings? At one point one Congressman was using giant poster boards with children's book pictures of a "knight" swinging a sword at a chicken egg. He called him sir Lancelot, then put up another board that labeled the knight Sir Taxalot. It was so incoherent and stupid and did nothing to actually address the issues at hand.

I believe parent meant that plastic will have been preserved and eventually become cost-effective to collect and recycle it. As petroleum becomes more scarce and expensive, so will plastics.

We've got alternative fuels, but I don't see any alternative plastics.

Because 1024 approximates 1000 - hence it is close to a "kilo" unit, and the rest extrapolate from there.
