Re: "Get a better accountant"
How do you know that?
How long was his contract? I've worked in Brussels before (IT Contractor at Nike) Only 2 months so I was unable to rent anywhere therefore had to stay in Hotel's. Some night's I've paid 140.00 per night (not often) but still. Add to that expenses for travel to and from the office, food and drink etc and you will not be far off 170.00. So 170.00 per diem is not unreasonable.

Re: The curse of the F-35.........
Not correct. The carriers were designed to have a magnetic catapult system similar to the system used on the new US carrier the Gerald R Ford. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_R._Ford-class_aircraft_carrier#Electromagnetic_Aircraft_Launch_System
By the time we might take up this option, the issues will have been resolved and the system will have become reliable. Some issues which have occured on the Ford class are not even applicable to QE (electricty generation capacity) as The QE uses a electric propulsion system therefore has power to spare to drive such a launch system.

Re: Nothing to hide : Nothing to fear
I know of one police force here in the UK where the wearing of body cams has become mandatory. The effect of this has been a reduction to near zero in complaints about that forces officers. where there is a complaint, the force simply produces the video of the incident or arrest as evidence. In that force, failure to wear your camera and have it working is a serious offence which can lead to dismissal.

Re: As if we still needed reasons...
really!!!
I have a set of Excel spreadsheets using Extensive VBA code and calling a number of external DLL's. Since upgrading from Office 2003, The application produces exactly the same results, We know this because we use extensive automated testing tools to compare results between versions and to determine correctness. Since Excel 2007 we have not had any issues, last year we changed to Excel 64bit, still no problems.
Actually I prefer UNIX. My first Microsoft operating system on a personally owned system was Win XP, Prior to that I used SCO UNIX, Solaris and later Red Hat so I'm no Microsoft fanboi.
