Whoosh

The post is required, and must contain letters.

Did I imagine the bit where it said his missus had been paying the mortgage while he was building his playden?

Time to grow up

The frowning tends to be done by Governments who don't like the idea of their citizens spending money which they aren't getting a cut of.

There's a difference between shouting a bit of nonsense inside a ground at opposing fans and getting a shoeing because you happened to go to a different school.

The main thrust of the post I replied to was about the use of recovery partitions and how the poster felt he/she was being cheated out of drive space.

Let me google that for you

Did you join the union before or after the allegation was made?

Makes a difference in how bothered they are imo

I know a bloke who got binned from a local authority job recently for some of the things he posted on facebook.

To be fair it was pics of him "planking" on top of someones kitchen cupboards. Again a colleague showed it to the boss and he was binned within 48hrs.

Why use SSL, you are posting data to FACEBOOK. A bored 15 year old with ten minutes can get all the details of your profile.

If you want privacy, posting to the internet equivalent of the back of a toilet door is not the way to go.

Are you quite sure about Spycatcher?

Published in 1987, gagged in England but not in Scotland, gag overturned in 1991 by ECHR

But you aren't physically moving anything, it's 1's and 0's

Yes there is some element of processing, but I would imagine the economies of scale should bring that down to fractions of a pence. Perhaps a fair comparison would be the per transaction fee's levied at a Stock Exchange?

No, the doctors agreed, especially once they were able to ensure they could still carry out private consultations.

And if they don't meet the SLA then you at least get to invoke a penalty clause.

An SLA never, ever guarentee's 100% uptime, it just gives you agreed comeback when it goes tits up

Fair enough, but that's what RIM have been calling it in update calls with Enterprise customers, sounds like they are calling their 'barely' functioning network location their Network Operations Centre (NOC)

Try this

OK, let's substitute Muslim for Christian, the final paragraph now reads:

The measures address proposals spelled out in the Bailey Report – written by Reg Bailey, CEO at Muslim charity Mothers' Union and released in the summer – in which Bailey asks firms to make it easier for parents to block adult and age-restricted material on the internet.

Now that would drive the Daily Mail mob into a wee frenzy, so lets try something else, say dropping reference to religion at all.

The measures address proposals spelled out in the Bailey Report – written by Reg Bailey, CEO at charity Mothers' Union and released in the summer – in which Bailey asks firms to make it easier for parents to block adult and age-restricted material on the internet.

Suddenly it becomes more "palatable" which begs the question, why invoke religion into something which is a moral crusade?

Both of the examples were legal enterprises until the law was changed?

You sure about them not being your fault?

In 2 seasons I have had 3 penalties, and every one was for rejoining the race and causing an incident

Almost, at least in the shop I know what I'll get back from each sale and any loss is meant to be eaten by the shopkeeper

That's quite a claim your making. Any evidence to back it up?

And that rant is relevant to this particular issue in what way?

Missing the point

Newzbin were never in the dock, the court case was the rights holders vs BT.

Newzbin are allowing their paying customers to access a search engine, which points to newsgroup postings held elsewhere.

If they really wanted to stop it they should have asked for deep packet inspection to block access to binary newsgroups, instead of asking BT to use a targeted service in a way it wasn't designed for.

They don't offer the standalone modem on any tier any more.

If that one breaks, you'll get a superhub

not quite accurate

They bought a piece of hardware with software installed on it, but the issue of apps, content and ongoing support is always liable to change. Your example of is off, you buy the service from Sky, to receive that service you need the dish. You would reasonably expect a refund for the service, but in thjs case the equipment will still surf the web, play mp4 video, look at photographs. The service, app store or whatever, is incedental to the product being sold.

The bare minimum they have to do is fulfill the sale of goods act requirements in terms of warranty support, but the rest, well you take your chances. Same as any other item, what if I bought an N64 the day before Nintendo said they weren't building any more, do you honestly think I would have a claim against them for not releasing any more games?

Errr...

Only an idiot would argue there isn't any climate change, but on the flip side only a zealot would say it's solely down to mankind
