Sage struggles in subdued market

Fair enough. Last time I read The Register in that case.

@ Flugal

Would you have commented in that way if your "manager" was Asian or black?

You know, "Fat **ki Bastard". How about "Fat N****r bastard"?

Admin - you should not have let that post through with that comment. Red card.

You could not make this up...

Could you?

Buy cheap, buy twice.

Buy cheaper, you get what you f**king deserve.

IBM and ITIF pitch for $30bn to save America

But how much of that money...

will be spunked away on consultancy fees alone in 'assisting' each of those 3 areas decide what they need? Spread that $30bn dollars out of over (potentially 10's of) thousands of businesses across the USA and you will be able to hear the consultants rubbing their hands together gleefully right across the pond here in the UK.

Apple update purges 21 security vulns from OS X

UK.gov to spend hundreds of millions on snooping silo

So...

We are supposed to believe that HM government is not in anyway going to start sifting through the collected data to, say, check whether small limited companies are paying all the VAT / corporation tax they should be, or use it to more accurately gauge the public opinions of the day etcetera.

It will be a pandora's box and as such WAY to tempting to not open. You can imagine each and every local authority / central government department requesting data from the DB, and as the number of requests increase the weight of perfectly valid reasons for doing so would increase also, to the point where any legislation in place to control access to the data (based on security / safety grounds) would be amended to allow all and any requests (again, especially around the topic of increased tax collection as this would be an easy sell to Joe Public).

UK employers sharpen job axe

WTF?

"However, the CBI has argued that the 250,000 (roughly 40 per cent) kids attaining the required SATs standard should be automatically opted-in for the three science subjects..."

If they wanted a way to increase the potential for school-leavers to NOT take a science course in HE, then this is one way of doing it. Children with the requisite smarts may actually PREFER to do something else. God forbid that children actually have a CHOICE in what they may want to do later in life.
