I can't wait till Dave comes back and finds out he has to win a CCC in order to start posting them again. Laugh | :laugh:

Hey, you wrote the rules!

Mostly so that it was distinct from the CCC: I don't want to tread on DD's toes when he does get back. He started this, so it's only fair it goes back to him when he returns.

And since it's Winner Stays On, you need some rules to make sure everybody knows what to expect! Laugh | :laugh:

Now I'm not allowed into message moderation page - that's good! It shouldn't be public to everyone at the first place...

Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

That's great news!

Let's hope they're still working hard at keeping you out of other places, too!

What David Cameron just proposed would endanger every Briton and destroy the IT industry[^]...

Has he lost the plot completely?

I had to look-up who David Cameron is (sorry), but if PM here would ask for such back-door people would show him out of the front door...

Perhaps GCHQ would like to drop all their encrypted transmissions. What's David's thoughts on that?

He lost his plot when he tried to raise the bar.

He's absolutely right, of course.

I mean, a couple of men with guns killed some people in another country, so our only possible response is to give up more of our civil liberties.

Why are you having such trouble seeing the obvious?

I assume that you fear things you don't know much about the most, so I guess he is afraid of the "plebs" or "mobile vulgus" Laugh | :laugh:

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Well, that's not really what he is saying, even though it appears so. But, as usual, a knee-jerk response tends to sound pretty silly.

It sounds clear...

David Cameron:
"Are we going to allow a means of communications which it simply isn't possible to read? My answer to that question is: 'No, we must not.'"

Not necessarily. He may be thinking of messages in english that are so very badly written that they are impossible to read - understand.

At least in my area, when you worked enough in multinational software development teams and read some of the code comments you would really appreciate having them banned.
