    Bitcoin is more like the million dollar homepage, except the homepage grows by a few pixels each day. > its not as if all crypto will die overnight. I think you'll be surprised.

    It's a clickbait title. Should be changed... Sure, it's an interesting list, but no. Not every programmer needs or would want to know.

    I love that this is getting down-voted. Because the liberal agenda is more important than scientific biological facts to some people :)

    2. The problem here is that you can't train a bulldog to herd sheep. You can't train a poodle to be a livestock guardian. Much of what working dogs do is pre-programmed. It's insti…

    Shame they can't issue wildcard certs. I don't see why they cannot.

    Phew. That's good to know. As someone who has absolutely no desire to ever need "roaming", it's good to know it won't be forced on people.

    So the cost incurred will be passed on to everyone in higher fees. eg people who never "roam" are going to be subsidising those people that do. A negative move spun as a positive..…

    There's a reason for that though - land in Scotland isn't as useful or valuable.

    "Lane changes" aren't really much of a thing in the UK either. Firstly, in the UK they aren't 'equal' lanes. They are for overtaking only. Undertaking is illegal. So we don't just …
