  I love when he refers to Mike as "college boy" as if that is an insult. He is clearly just jealous as he probably flunked out of High School.

  I liked CDs, I really did, but after a while I ran out of space. That is why I currently buy digital, that is why I am likely to continue to buy digital for the foreseeable future.

  The UK is facing extreme cuts to public services which will fuel public sector job cuts. We are facing probably a decade of austerity politics. Still, we can afford to fund rubbish like this.
  
  What a scandalous waste of public money.

  The Germans and French are not happy.
  
  Here's hoping this derails the impending 'trade' agreement.

  Not a surprise but still an illustration of US desire to control the world.
  
  You do not spy on allies, for crying out loud. If you are spying on allies, then it is clear you do not trust them so why are they allies?

• On the post: Woman Sues Plastic Surgeon For $23 Million Because He Put Before/After Pictures Of Her On The Web

  

  Zakida Paul ( profile ), 28 Jun, 2013 @ 09:34am

  What kind of plastic surgeon doesn't get their patients to sign a waiver for just this kind of thing?
  
  Obviously, they are going to want to advertise their services and what better way than before/after pictures?

  "trained as a jihadist to hate America"
  
  Jihad is not necessarily anything to do with terrorism or extremism. I am not a Muslim and I hate this misconception, imagine how Muslims feel about it.
  
  The most common meaning for the term is the spiritual struggle within each Muslim against sin.
  
  Just wanted to clear that up.

  It seems no one in government or law enforcement of any country knows how to deal with cyber crime. Perhaps they should find experts who know what the hell they are talking about.
