We need a more intelligent adblock that spots and blocks things like this :)

I disagree. Leave voters are already being able to say "I told you so".

We haven't had a war yet, we're not in a recession, and the EU is forging ahead with its army, letting Turkey in, etc etc.

I very much doubt the EU will exist in 10 years. It will fall, and our friends around Europe will be free again.

s3cmd and s4cmd already have a "du" command. Does this do something extra?

Freenode is used by geeks to setup a channel in the same way old people still use AOL.

There are far better, less restrictive, more secure networks out there.

It's one thing to shit over the workers Kraft, but to shit over the product is another (They changed the recipes, sizes, and generally turned the best chocolate in the world into shitty American chocolate (no offense to Americans)).

Maybe. It's not difficult to be profitable though. Servers are cheap. I don't think it's going to trouble Google though, which is a shame. We could do with some serious search competition.

I don't want to be rude, but I don't think DuckDuckGo has actually taken much market share to worry about yet, so maybe it's not following the usual startup route.

Isn't that basically the MO of every startup?

* Offer something for free, with VC money. * Gain market share since you don't need to worry about profit. * Realise you need to make money, so start turning into the companies you stole market share from.

The older generation have seen 40 years of the EU. They know it cannot be reformed, and they know it is a corrupt undemocratic rotten sham.

Young people have been fed pro-EU propaganda from the earliest ages at nursery, school, and university.

We certainly haven't shot ourselves in the foot. We have taken back our democracy and right to self rule.

They did. Because London has become absolutely culturally detatched from the rest of the UK. The rich elite living in Islington really do love the EU.

Unfortunately, the EU hasn't been quite so good for people who don't live in London or Scotland.

Are you seriously holding up the EU as some bastion of stability? How stable is Greece? Seriously - you should research it a little more. The EU is perilously unstable.

And Boris Johnson isn't in any position of power currently. It's not up to him yet.

> There is a good chance that Theresa May becomes the next MP

No, there isn't. Seriously, where are you getting your information from? Are you from the UK?

There isn't a chance in hell Theresa May would even get shortlisted.

> I have an inkling that's why the 'Leave' campaign is delaying the invocation of article 50.

Seriously. Do you even know what you're talking about? Only our elected government (who were on the remain side), can invoke article 50, and it's up to them to decide when.

Hopefully the whole EU does collapse.

We buy more from the EU than we sell. We are the EUs biggest market. We buy 1,000,000 cars from Germany.

It is massively in the EU's interests to do a deal with us quickly.
