   What about those of us in Scotplace who already at least know where to find techdirt.com? What makes me think I won't get a free £100, but rather it'll come out of my tax-paying money? :P

   easy. find a short/basic computer course that costs less that £100 and pocket the change!
   if there arent any then maybe you should start one up. charge £50 per person for a short course. Anyone who joins makes £50 and so do you!
   Actually, forget I mentioned it. I am moving to scotland now to make my fortune!

   ...because the organisation running the scheme doesn't seem to have got the hang of this new-fangled Internet yet.

   What do you want to bet it is focused on teaching people to use Microsoft products?

   Are these subsidized classes, or are people getting paid to attend a class? I read this as the latter. Regardless, I wish they'd do this here...but yes, Microsoft's market dominance does prevent this from being a good idea. (Not because I hate MS but because it's bad for people to think one product is the only product. For instance, AOL + The Internet.)
