Until they put age verification on VPNs (as long predicted they'd have to), driving teens to the dodgy ones

Here to report that 'thought leadership' writing is MUCH better paid if you can manage without a byline

A friend just amended the Wikipedia entry to point this out!

Remembering that Simon's BOFH started on a title called Network Week in 1995, some time before The Reg got hold of him...!

But running em dashes into a letter is a typographical desecration

No spaces, horrendous. But the en dash is perfectly servicable, no?

Mahama's 2012 book, 'My First Coup D'Etat', expands eloquently on the themes of this article

Not an expert but reminds me of a fossil crocodile tooth I once saw at close quarters. Lacks vertical striations but has asymmetric curve and the slight ridge on one side

The curve is distinctively toothlike as is the pale interior.

A friend of mine took control of the freehold in a building in Highbury 30 years ago but it required everyone to agree to that
