"2 of the 3 universities in Manchester (UK) teach .Net development as part of their Computer Science programmes. Plus Microsoft gives away VS2008 Pro to full time students for free... where is the cost in that?"

"well it's extensible to a point if you use OS X. Safari is blisteringly fast, and javascript performance is excellent. But under windows, its just a shame you can't add functionality in the way Firefox does so well."

Trent Reznor: Steal My Music - http://digg.com/music...
"I don't know what Ticketmaster is like worldwide, but I worked for them for a few years in the UK while I was at university... I'd just like to point out, Ticketmaster make no money whatsoever from the ticket's face value... the money they make is from the service charges applied to a ticket, which over here rarely amounts to more than about £6, and is more like about £3. You do however get some ridiculously greedy bands, e.g. The Rolling Stones, who decided they weren't making enough money from the tickets (at £150 per ticket), that they would also increase the service charge to £25 and take £19 of that as profit themselves!"

DefectiveByDesign BBC iPlayer Protest, London & Manchester, Tuesday, Aug 14 - http://digg.com/tech_ne...
"No, the tax-paying and license fee-paying British public pays for the production of any BBC-created content, and also for the rights to any content created by other organisations. (OK, fair enough, some revenue comes from commercial and overseas ventures). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... However, I understand why the need to secure the content. The problem with it is that they decided to use a restrictive Microsoft-proprietary format and not even think about any other platforms."
