Over here in the UK, we had the mighty, the master, the supreme genius of John Peel. And boy, did he do something for music. He single-handedly launched the music careers of countless artists. There is a reason that Glastonbury, that most wonderful and muddy of places, renamed 'The New Bands Tent' to 'The John Peel Stage'. Who can you name on your local / national radio stations who actually does 'a show about music'? DJs today play songs, they don't engage with bands outside of carefully crafted commercial moments. Weird to say, really, but on this I pretty much wholesale agree with Jay Z.

Y'know, I've seen you commenting a lot, and I have to say - I very much appreciated the fact you do - because I frankly struggled to come up with a response that didn't include a bunch of swearing and the like. So, cheers for being you :)

So then, any response from Wikileaks / Assange? Will he now give himself up, as per this tweet - https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fwikileaks%2F... ? (Note - not a troll response, genuinely interested to hear what folks think happens on that front now... )

As per subject - are these workers doing this stuff full time, year in, year out? In the UK, even the Police who do this are limited to two years on a team that has a responsibility to view the kind of content we're talking about here. Is this the case in companies such as Microsoft? (Note - this was told to me by a copper a few years ago, so, pinch of salt, etc!)

So logically, he was what we'd call (here in the UK at least) an accessory? He is (and this is stretching the definition of theft a tad...) the getaway driver for a bank robber? The reason for asking being that being an accessory to a crime is still a crime, if you're facilitating without actually 'doing'.

No, fair point that - we've got databases, CMS, Exchange and all the normal gubbins floating around as well, but you are absolutely right - they're different and we should use traffic analysis to see what the load really is.

The demands of education are higher than business. Business is one station, one logon per day. Two tops if you include lunch breaks. My networks see nearly 5000 different logons PER hour. Just one of our academies has 40+ switches, 100+ Meru APs and 1000+ connected devices. Business is easy. Education - entirely different beast.

Forget Cisco. Phone your local HP Gold Partner - get them to put you in touch with the local HP Business Team. They'll give you free courses and training, and that is the end of that. For 100 networked devices, HP kit will do the job. I don't get the obsession with Cisco - I'm running 8 networks on 10 sites that are all HP, serving nearly 10,000 students and 1200 staff, and we've never regretted bypassing Cisco altogether.

I can only assume that your sense of humour also took a trip off the edge of the world...

Well to be fair, region locking makes sense.

Why should I, as a UK TV licence payer, fund programs for other people to watch?

Additionally, I believe that since the BBC co-producers shows with other broadcasters in other countries, the licensing agreements currently in place mean the BBC has to take steps to stop (for example) a co-Canadian produced drama appearing for free before it is shown in Canada.

Oh, and the BBC is not a state-run tv channel. It is a public broadcaster, but aside from the BBC Trust (which is more advisory), Government input is limited. Indeed the BBC have a very long and strong history of taking the Government (be it Tory or Labour) to task.

It should also be noted that there isn't a 'TV tax' in the UK. The TV licence is only payable if you actually own a TV capable of receiving BBC programming. Now whilst the licence system could use a bit of modernising, it isn't a blanket tax.
