Or, if they're a foreign agent being paid by another state, they'll be at the front of the queue of applicants because they don't mind the uncompetitive pay.

It certainly doesn't make you a worker.

It's good they're giving the EA some extra funding and powers, but we really need to nationalise this. Water privatisation has been a disaster, and the longer we keep it going the more money they'll be able to syphon out.

Is there some kind of parental software that can lock down phones like what happens on corporate phones? Like where you can control which apps are installed etc? That sounds like the best approach: just give them a phone with WhatsApp, phone and SMS. Any refurbished phone from the last 10 years would work for that (lack of Android security updates might be an issue though)

There's so much in Infinite Jest, but I think my favourite would be "Blood Sister: One Tough Nun".

PFI? Of course not! This is GFI, it's green.

And then there was the Quake 2 engine which gave us Deus Ex, American McGee's Alice and then (through the modified GoldSrc version) Half-Life, Counter Strike and countless others! The family tree of 3D engines is really interesting.

But I thought LAME Ain't an MP3 Encoder?!

Actually I never got that. WINE isn't an emulator, but LAME very much is an MP3 encoder

Oh how I long to be in Belarus right now...

 

I've been loving the Private Eye podcast, but they only seem to do about one episode a month. I sometimes listen to The Rest Is Politics but I find it quite hard not to hate Alastair Campbell and Rory Stuart.

Any other good UK politics podcasts out there?
