ABA Withdraws Consideration of UCITA
Cognito writes "AFFECT, Americans for Fair Electronic Commerce Transactions, is reporting that the American Bar Association has withdrawn its consideration for endorsing a resolution to approve UCITA, the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act. This is a good thing. It's interesting to note that a recently filed law suit would have been prohibited if UCITA were endorsed and adopted as a common law."
Is for lamers and d00ds with no testicles.

First, bruhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I had to do it, and I appologies repeatedly. XD
Didn't understand a single bloody word of that. What does this AUICITPQXRWS thingy do then?
[FUCK BETA]
We're talking central London. very Central London. This is all office blocks, shops, and clubhouses. Property here is really expensive, and real estate is at a premium. Widening the roads would either require rebuilding practically the whole of the area or removing pedestrian walkways. Neither is practical.
The point of the congestion charge is however to move traffic onto the public transport systems instead. Of which both the bus and tube networks are overcrowded anyway, especially the Tube. The Govn't claims the Tube isn't overcrowded, but the Underground regularly closes stations due to overcrowding and is jam-packed* for a very broad definition of 'Rush Hour'.
At the moment, of course, a couple of the arterial underground lines are closed due to a derailment that happened a couple of weeks ago. This has made it oh so much worse...
*Disclaimer: not as full as systems like the Tokyo tube, obviously, but London isn't nearly as dense and could be vastly improved.
..for telling me whether this is a good or a bad thing! If slashdot wouldn't tell me which things are good and which are bad I'd have to go through life completely disoriented!
You need to update your troll to 2003; YOU FAIL IT
Since companies are using ".com" and not their country codes, you may have no recourse if the website you're buying from is in fact a front-end for an automated credit-card stealing system located in some remote country where the law is just a guideline. And no, even if the website sports known companies logos and gives an address in the U.S., it could all be fake.
You CAN'T shop online until companies start using country codes and DNS is secured.
Does this refer to the UCITA being good, or the ABA withdrawl good? Your antecedent is unclear.
Capitalism: unequal distribution of wealth
Socialism: equal distribution of poverty
Dear Troll,
The antecedent is perfectly clear.
The qualifying statement followed a period, thus the entire sentence before it is qualified. If the poster had used a comma then perhaps your comment could be valid.
I'd also like to point out that neither of your options are the actual gramatical truth of the statement. The statement, as posted, says that AFECT's reporting of the event, not the event or the resolution itself, is good.

Again, this is a great post! Don't MOD it
down. You can't say what's he's saying by
sugar coating it or saying it in a long winded
way. It's short and to the point and says
what needs to be said. Hell, it's a +5.
MONS to withdraw consideration of CLIT at forthcoming LABIA-Con. Matt Drudge is there!
But ... moderators still suck.
