    oh god it may actually be happening https://twitter.com/SkySportsNewsHQ/status/603618050248704001 Sky Sources: Swiss nationals working for Fifa including Sepp Blatter told by investigators they can't leave Switzerland until further notice

    Fifa officials including vice president Jeffrey Webb arrested, Blatter getting it at last.

    yeah, that's why I added the "(from the USA at least)" bit - I'd love it if the Swiss investigation came up with something to charge him on. as happy as I am that all these lesser guys are getting taken down for literal decades of insanely blatant corruption, it'd still leave a sour taste if...

    Fifa officials including vice president Jeffrey Webb arrested, Blatter getting it at last.

    it's partly that they have the legislative tools and political reach to actually see it through, which few other countries do, and partly that America doesn't really give a **** about football, so potential FIFA sanctions mean much less to them than everyone else. if a European country had...

    Fifa officials including vice president Jeffrey Webb arrested, Blatter getting it at last.

    Blatter is Swiss and Switzerland does not extradite its own citizens, so my understanding is that he is safe (from the USA at least) as long as he stays there

    Fifa officials including vice president Jeffrey Webb arrested, Blatter getting it at last.

    i'm reading that the FBI intend to subpoena Garcia for his full, unedited report into the corruption surrounding those WC allocations (which runs to 400-plus pages rather than the heavily edited 42 pages that FIFA released). some of the interviews Garcia conducted took place on US soil so they...

    Fifa officials including vice president Jeffrey Webb arrested, Blatter getting it at last.

    Walter de Gregorio: "Russia and Qatar will be played, this is fact today. I can't go into speculation about what will happen tomorrow." seems like even FIFA aren't 100% sure they'll stay in russia/qatar. we can only hope four of the FIFA lot have already plead guilty and are probably...

    Spec me some bits (CPU, mobo, RAM, SSD) for ~£400

    OK, sounds good. It seems OCUK are doing a free Prolimatech Panther with each D3HP at the moment so it's better value for money too - will def get that one, thanks again.

    Spec me some bits (CPU, mobo, RAM, SSD) for ~£400

    Thanks mate, it's good to know that I'm on roughly the right track. This is a good point, I've got an aftermarket cooler on the Q6600 at present but it's probably not compatible, and I suppose it's worth the extra money just for the extended warranty anyway. In what respect does the D3HP...

    Spec me some bits (CPU, mobo, RAM, SSD) for ~£400

    Hi friends, I'm still stuck in the dark ages here using a Q6600/GA-P35-DS3P so I guess it's time to move out of the era of candlelight and steam engines and upgrade to something a bit more modern What I'm looking at buying is: CPU, motherboard, 8GB RAM, and a small SSD (128GB would be fine)...

    *** PC Gaming - Daily Deals Thread ***

    Does this (the state/tax thing) actually make a difference? I'm not seeing any change, so I thought I'd ask. I was using an address in Ohio, after reading this I've just changed it to one in New Hampshire and all prices appear to be the same right up to the point where I confirm the transaction...

    9-10" Android tablet for family

    I'm buying an Android tablet for a relative, they have bad eyesight so I'm thinking I'll get a 9-10" rather than a 7". It'll be used for the usual internet browsing and watching TV, iPlayer and that kind of thing, so I'm not looking to spend more than I have to. Looking through the cheap ones...

    Steam gets almost all the PC games sales now..How do you feel about this ??

    Yes look at me being all obtuse by sourcing quotes from financial institutions and news agencies that directly refute your argument When people say "shareholder accountability" they are talking about public shareholder accountability. When people say the stock is not "traded", they are...

    Steam gets almost all the PC games sales now..How do you feel about this ??

    Once again, for the criminally stupid: saying a company has "no shareholder accountability" means they are not answerable to public shareholders. Valve are a private company and are not accountable to public shareholders by the simple virtue of not having any. Clearly you don't believe me...

    Steam gets almost all the PC games sales now..How do you feel about this ??

    Shareholder accountability is recognised to mean a publicly traded company being accountable to the public shareholders. It doesn't apply to private companies because "shareholder accountability" in that context would mean "the owners have an obligation to do what the owners decide that the...

    Steam gets almost all the PC games sales now..How do you feel about this ??

    Yes you did. Here's what I said. And here's what you claimed I said. You then went off on one about "even private companies have shareholders" despite the fact that I never said they didn't.

    Steam gets almost all the PC games sales now..How do you feel about this ??

    First you said "revenue isn't the same as profit hurr" despite the fact that I made a clear distinction in my post between revenue and outgoings, then you said "uh private companies have shareholders durr" and actually falsified a quote to make it appear that I had said the opposite. You have...
