Re: osborne 1

I bought one of those on eBay. After a while some caps in the power supply exploded (smoke and everything, it stank). I replaced those though. Have been thinking about various projects to get it to use a more modern keyboard (the original is rusted to hell inside) and alternative data storage, but nothing finished because I'm lazy.

Re: Whats the problem

"allowing specific UserAgents through"

Which renders it wide open to user agent spoofing through a simple extension which can be installed in a real browser by a non-admin user.

They'll probably also block things like sex advice (age of consent is 16, and some kids younger than that are having ill-informed unsafe sex too), gambling (you can play the lottery at 16), other sites that have some offensive content but are mostly harmless (YouTube, 9gag). But going deeper than on/off would be too much of an administrative burden for some parents.

"every time you add a new device to the network you get a little page pop up"

Aircraft laser strikes hit new record with 20 incidents in one night

Re: There's one way to stop this

Assuming you've got the right person.

There are lots of cases that deserve the death penalty. There are rather less times when the evidence is clear enough, or the judge and jury can be impartial enough, to hand down such a penalty that can't be undone. And he who is without sin, etc.

I'm in favour of Uber and similar services being properly regulated as regards wages and vetting of drivers. These particular proposals, however, don't achieve that and are purely artificial punishment for being better.

Re: Why do people use work email for personal use?

What should have happened is you go right ahead with the migration, tell anyone it causes personal problems for to come and see you on a case-by-case basis, and hand them an official written warning.
