Re: People just want to complain
So if you pay several hundred dollars / pounds for a faulty product, you just put up with it?
Now "we" have social media, the company's can't hide defective products.

...that is proping up the huge military budget, because they can't be arsed to look after ex service personnel...or is that the homeless charities.....I forget.
Maybe some of that crazy NATO budget should be spent on personal AFTER they have been dumped into the wider world, rather than blowing up perpetrators of a random unplanned attack..

Re: Internet 2.0
" e-commerce globalisation destroying small businesses and the high street, "
I HATE, this blame the internet for killing the high street bollocks. The high street was killed off a long time ago, by shopping "malls", retail parks and large identikit chain stores. The high streets became bland and indistinguishable from one town to another. What we are now seeing those same town centre killers, being culled by another.
My two nearest towns are thriving. They never had the big retail parks, very few chain stores and are quite a distance from the nearest shopping centre. They are packed full of independent shops, restaurants and pubs.
So save me the sob stories. The more of the "High St" chains it kills of the better, allowing once again the little indie shops to step in.

"Why DHS though? Surely this is a criminal matter at best (although they apparently proceeded with a civil complaint to recover the stolen property) so within the bailiwick of Department of Justice?"
Look into the Double Eagle coins (might be a documentary on Nextflix). That "theft"* involves the Secret Service, Interpol and loads of other agencies.

Pool poor widdle Bobby wobby is threatened by the facts yet again
I know you're to dumb to see facts, but I'll give it a go.
There are also campaigns to get more MEN into nursery work, become primary school teachers and nurses
The are also campaigns to get more BLACK people to become blood and organ donors.
But you have such a huge fucking chip on your shoulder about the poor hard done by rootin tootin redneck community you completely ignore facts that are right there if you get off your paranoid Lilly white ass and look for them

Re: One of life's losers...
"I've been in environments where 'winning' was fetishised to the point that cheating, lying, and sabotaging others was practically encouraged."
This is a well proven human trait (I'm sure there is likely some name for it). If you reward the individual e.g. with bonuses, then many will go that way. If you reward the whole group involved, then they work together.
This is way many sales people are utter wankers. Companies reward the individual, whereas if you have say a profit share scheme, you get fewer arrogant self righteous pricks.

Simple, because you didn't say Linux.
In here that is the answer to everything. If your software doesn't work on Linux, it's you're fault and you should use some sub par software instead.

Apple and Pears
These surveys don't often show the full picture.
Take Romania. Yes they have very fast and cheap broadband, because of a few reasons.
1) Much if the infrastructure is brand new. You don't have deal with legacy ducts, pre-existing copper and other infrastructure, getting in the way.
2) Outside the major towns and cities, broadband is pretty non-existent.
We could have it quickly over here, but soon as you tell people you going to rip up a road for a week or two, install a huge box and maybe disrupt businesses for a few days, everyone is up in arms.

Re: The "problem" of FTTP is that it makes the old copper network valueless all at once
How do you think that will make it cheaper?
Say they rip up 200m of cable.
You then have to replace every street box inline before and after with a new POWERED street box, then if you want fttp, every single connection from that.
All while business and homes have no phones or internet connectivity.
So you go from a few hours repair, to several weeks.
