...and his living costs are probably way higher too, so it's not a fair comparison.
Same with John Pluthero at C&W. I was working there at the time and John was well-known for being brutally honest (his management style was one of the reasons he took over when C&W bought Energis, despite him running the much smaller Energis). It's a while ago now, but he was right at the time and I don't remember anyone disagreeing.

Oh, you are.

In which case, I'll fill in what you conveniently left out:-

* Tommy Robinson was arrested for contempt of court

* Tommy Robinson is still under a suspended sentence for a previous conviction of contempt of court

* The publication ban is because the judge is concerned that by continuing to report on the trial Tommy Robinson was apparently 'reporting' on (quotes mine), there's a risk of prejudicing it

* Tommy Robinson is not a reporter or a journalist - if he was, he'd be aware of the reasons why courts are not best pleased about someone filming the people coming and going

In short - man does thing, is convicted of doing a thing, is given a suspended sentence and told not to do the thing again, and is somehow surprised that the legal system takes a dim view of it. A more cynical person may say that Robinson has his own reasons for doing what he's doing that are particular to the people involved in the trial, but I'll leave that as an exercise for people to figure out with a Google search.

I hope you're not talking about Tommy Robinson.
Re:Testing an SD Card's true capacity on Tuesday July 11, 2017 @05:40PM (#14748331)
The issue is that with these cards they're not just branded wrong, they often present themselves as being bigger than they actually are - so your OS sees it as being 64GB when it's only 16GB, for example.

Were it just a branding thing it wouldn't - from a technical standpoint - be quite so bad, other than you know, the intentional lying...
