Doesn't seem to work for CEO pay :-)

Perfectly legal gaming operations outside of the USA have been considered illicit and had employees arrested.

The US does seem to have a lot of puritan hang-ups not helped by local gambling monopolys.

Surprised that draft kings don't go with one of the UK online gaming firms.

on the other hand, when I visited Ireland a couple years ago I was kind of shocked at how common sports betting establishments were there, much like you'd see payday loan-type places here in poorer areas of the States

Betting on the horses is a very Irish thing to do grin

You'd rather have illegal off course betting ala Peaky Blinders or like IRL my Great Great Great Uncle ran in Birmingham (does make watching peaky Blinders interesting)

I know Sainsburys was trialing back then, I knew one of the developers on the project at BT.

One of our team members was an alpha tester, and one delivery he got was a pallet of salad cream instead of just one bottle.

Over 20 years later, this still happens to me every time I ever buy root ginger.

I always want a lump / knob / finger / whatever of ginger, and without fail forget that the unit of measure is a kilogram, which would take me months to get through.

So your running a non standard OS what do you expect

Non standard OS? He's running Ubuntu, not Solaris.

Are we expected to only use MacBooks if we want a *nix laptop?

I thought they where Ubuntu running on mac hardware.

The limit of 5000 might be a bit low for larger sites is this pages or URLS?

I am thinking ecomerce and classified ads sites

We're currently working on scaling up to 25,000+ pages, hopefully sometime in the next 12 months!

Sniper rifles in ww1 where custom conversions of the standard infantry rifles or in the early war actual hunting rifles.

Shotguns where more for trench raiding along with improvised clubs etc

"I assert diplomatic immunity "

Can regular government workers do that, or just actual diplomats? If the latter, just go for their assistant.

Under the Vienna Conventions, only people with diplomatic rank have full diplomatic immunity. Administrative and technical agents do have diplomatic immunity, but only for actions taken "in the course of their duties."

But it wouldn't matter: documents and archives of the state are inviolable no matter where they are. And the property of a diplomatic mission must remain free of search and seizure.

I can't wait for some Irish cop to start a massive diplomatic incident because some embassy worker happened to be in the wrong neighbourhood.

I think this is more likely to bite as it pertains to Ireland as a friendly business environment than it does to Ireland as a diplomatic partner.

Yeah but the diplomatic disaster would have far more entertaining visuals.

I had a diplomatic passport for many years as a kid. It was definitely handy in our case as cops were quite corrupt where we were living and would try to con us out of money all the time. I don't know how far it'd go in court or under a serious warrant but in practice they always left us alone once we showed our passports.

I did when my previous place made me redundant, I didn't need to jump into the first job and I could claim unemployment whist waiting to.

It well be more experienced people though and you will need enough $ to do this.

Seconded one of my regrets was not really going for a place on a round the world boat race a few years ago and taking a sabbatical to do the whole thing.

Id just been diagnosed which a chronic illness and though it would have been fair on the rest of the crew.
