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 g

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.

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 t

Yeh Back in 94 I and another developer got flown up to Edinburg and delivered using RAD/DSDM in a month what a another traditional team said would take 2 years. One of the other ideas at the times was a custom BT version of HTML - that
