They blow their load with the UK government as well by asking the conservatives rather than waiting for some reasonable people with functional brains to come in

How do you leave it in a "functionable state"? Drivers disappear, hardware changes, libraries get updated, os' update or die off, etc. You'd have to expose the source code to the public at that point and if I was a developer I'd want nothing to do with that market then.

I can still run Blade Runner which came out in 1997 using Wine, things don't die off that easily when they are not broken on purpose.

It's just about not intentionally breaking stuff.

With that attitude, also good.

How to pay taxes to a country you don't live in

You can send me money, I'll have to pay taxes on that
