The US Federal Communications Commission said its proposals were
designed to protect net neutrality

This is a complete lie! How can they even say this? Their proposal allows broadband providers to dismantle net neutrality.

If they wanted to protect net neutrality they would declare broadband to be a telecommunications service (which it is).

And Salmond has offered to pay for their travel costs. Gold!

Well Cameron and Clegg are heading up to Scotland today to spread the word. That should pretty much seal the deal for independence.

Could have answered my own question by reading this:
http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/sep/09/-sp-if-scotland-votes-for-independence-key-questions

Probably leaves out some issues but seems like a fairly sensible article.

So is there much truth to the idea that if Scotland gains independence, us poor saps left in the rUK will have lost a large number of primarily labour seats and we will therefore have a never-ending Tory majority from now on. It sounds like more scaremongering, but the logic is fairly sound.

Total Recall? They made some other Arthur C Clarke books into films

Yes. Mars Attacks! is probably my favourite.

No

Congratulations! I'll be there.

if the Mexicans were lobbing bombs across the border

Why would Mexicans do this? Absolutely no reason to, so a ridiculous comparison.

Heading to the South of France for a bit of sun next week. Can anyone suggest any decent coffee around those parts? Will be staying in Nice, but travelling up and down the coast.

Yeah, I've been following this outbreak closely too. It seems pretty grim for the local medical staff, who sound like they don't have the right equipment to handle this sort of outbreak (at least at the beginning. Things are getting better now the WHO and CDC have woken up and are supplying money). The number of doctors and nurses who have contracted the disease is scary. You've got to be pretty brave in that sort of situation.

But the good news is that the escaped Ebola patients have been found:

Phew.

From a couple of days ago. Just what you want to happen when you are treating a highly contagious disease:

Does anyone have a good site that tracks the history of bitcoin prices?

I'm interested in Weltech's potato weighing system. Who can I contact about that?

You took off on an epic solo breakaway from the start, stayed away the entire race only to be caught in the last few metres?

Are they police? Jesus!

Where is this?
