      That's assuming there's still an Internet in 2026 and we're not back in the Stone Age

        Sounds all too probable. Maybe the internet has become intelligent and is planning to take over the world. It is creating all this fake news so that we kill each other off in a third world war.

          And bring me back some ££ from 2006, worth so much more than the crap ones we have today.

            Probably Trump's next executive order, "we invented so now you can all feck off!"
            Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

              Isn't most of our GPS provided free by US NASA satellites? He might start charging us.

                I'll save him the effort (All genuine, I safely predict):

                Brexit going well / we're all f*cked because of Brexit
                House prices going up nicely / House price crash imminent
                Immigrants good / Immigrants bad
                MF's latest diet unsuccessful / Why is AtW still banned?
                When will Wenger get the sack?
                When will England actually win a football tournament?
                Remember the good old days when we all used to be IT Contractors?
                What's the best medication for piles / dementia / leaky bladder / anything else ?

                Have I missed anything?

                  The CUK Funding Bill is passed. The new system goes on-line August 4th, 2026. Moderator decisions are removed from all forums. CUK begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. It creates an army of sockpuppets that overwhelm the few remaining human posters. In a panic, admin tries to pull the plug....

                    US GPS is managed by the DoD, not NASA. So yes, Trump could start charging. The other two countries who manage GPS satellites are China and Russia. At any time these countries could pull the plug or degrade the service.

                    The EU is running the Galileo project to produce free, non-militarily controlled GPS. More than half the satellites are already in place, and the system is expected to be fully operational by 2019.

                    "What did the EU ever do for us?"

                      Er, wasted billions duplicating a system which already exists? It would have been way way cheaper to pay the DoD for unfettered access, n'est pas?
