So @compassionuk consider the following jobs to be leadership positions? #faith #law #sitp /cc @RDFRS_UK
Regards my query about their job advertisements, Compassion UK have responded: @alecmuffett It’s because they form part of the decision making/leadership of a Christian organisation. — Compassion UK (@compassionuk) September 3, 2012 I do believe they must be doing good work, but I am amazed by this claim, because they job roles they have advertised…

Citing a “well placed insider”, website Modaco says the cellular-connectable tablet will launch in roughly six weeks’ time. via 3G Google…

University IT blunder sparks hacking fears | The Oxford Student # “we were cyberattacked! oops, we weren’t!” #essay
This sort of thing makes me sick – that “cyberattacks” are reported like “terrorism”, and that they are so glibly trotted out as an excuse. Being hacked occasionally – be it simple vandalism or be it pursuant to fraud or extortion – is part of the price of being attached to the internet. It’s not…

It’s jus not gravy since I’ve not thickened it other than with reduction and some sharp cherry jam. Also: fufu.

Netflix vs: Spotify. Cancelling the former, subscribing to the latter; so this is why I am leaving #Netflix
Netflix: I got onto it as part of a user-trial (thanks Adrian) – but I just don’t watch movies at home, or at least there’s something of the “Sky Movies 3 & 4” about Netflix which puts me off. The user interface hides choice from me – I see lots of stuff that I don’t…

When #BoingBoing commenters make a mistake on UK inheritance laws, there is no redress.
From this discussion: Quote: Don’t relatives get any legal protection? In the UK you are required to divide your estate according to certain percentages to the benefit of surviving relatives. The will is contestable if strict rules are not followed. …yes, there is some of that in Scotland especially in relation to intestate wealth, but…

Clampdown on debit and credit cards going ahead # Can this include auto-adding “discretionary” service like @salvationjaneUK does?
I’ll pay for good service, but I don’t like having a surprise percentage added to the tally and then handed to me on the Chip-and-PIN keypad, as happened a few days ago. I find it presumptuous, jarring and positively American, and is part of the reason I have a downer on Salvation Jane at the…
