If you bought a dildo in Denver, the government must legally be told

Remember folks

If your doing nothing wrong then you have nothing to worry about... have you.

Ordinary punters will get squat from smart meters, reckons report

Hmmmmm

It's not the spy (sorry, smart) meters that I don't trust, it's the people reading them.

Or I *may* set up a Win 10 machine for gaming, and gaming only. None of my development machines are getting 10 in any which way, shape or form. Samsung have likewise shot themselves in the foot with their sneaky voice recordings. Sorry Sammy, them two TV's I have of yours are my last!

Twice the gravity! twice the workout! Would be a stone cold killer lugging the paragliding kit up the hill though.

Re: "We fully comply with the law"

Much like the tax dodgers fully comply with the law.
