I'm well aware that Elises from S3 onwards use a Toyota derived powerplant (the earlier versions used a modified Rover K-series), but you specifically mentioned the chassis, on which point you fail epically, Mr Idiot.
If Lotus used an MR2 chassis, they'd have nowhere to hang the bodywork, as the MR2 is a monocoque construction anyway.
Please go away and learn something about cars before you post your flagrant ignorance for everyone to see.
It's all about calculated risk - piss off some English Catholics, you get some peeved letters in the local paper. Piss off Muslims, you get explosions, beheadings, and people living out their lives in hiding.
I waved my baritone sax in the wind, and the final butchers bill was three clarinettists, two flautists, an oboe player and a cello player who happened to be leaning back at the time.
Still, the orchestra sounded sweeter after the incident...
RB: Hear that? You hear that? /.: What?
RB: Smackdown, son. Nothing in the world sounds like that. [kneels]
RB: I love the sound of smackdown in the morning. You know, one time we had the RIAA smacked down by a judge, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up to the bar. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' hustler body. The sound, you know that silent sound, the whole court. Sounded like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end... [RB unhappily walks off]
If you accept that the police under the rules of law can demand access to things then this includes digital data.
They can have the digital data, just in encrypted form.
You can be ordered to hand over physical things (e.g. a shiny metal key), but not the contents of your mind (in your example, the Swiss bank account number).
An encryption key is analogous to a very large combination lock - you are not compelled to divulge such information.
The authorities can access a safe by brute force (e.g. drilling), so they're perfectly at liberty to brute force the encryption if they can.
Just because technology has made the job of law enforcement more difficult doesn't mean that the principles of justice have changed - just that the private citizen now has more privacy from intrusion by government.
This aspect of RIPA is fundamentally against the principles of British justice, and will eventually be seen as such once the matter is explained properly to the judiciary.
The linked article is about a NHS trust using its money wisely by ensuring that staff with musculo-skeletal injuries are able to return to work sooner than they otherwise would.
12 grand over a year to save many more thousands in locum nurse costs is a sensible use of resources.
There are many things wrong with the NHS (poor and over-heavy management, government mandated targets causing patient care to suffer, poor management of IT programmes, etc.), but it is still free at the point of use, even if it is frustrating to have to wait to see a specialist.
Speaking as someone with a disabled partner and a severely disabled stepson, I'm grateful that the system exists at all, despite all its faults.
* I await the inevitable, "we were first" replies from the old-worlders;)
Well, if you read your Wikipedia link, you'll find that the first World Championships in 1980 were in fact in the UK - some 20 years before Sopchoppy:P
Agreed - I often say 'Quiet!' to my partner (Ms Motormouth) when approaching situations that require concentration.
She used to get offended, until I explained that concentrating on the road was more important than the latest news on her friend's bunions or whatever.
I do have selective hearing, but prefer not to have to divert concentration to employ it:)
And my phone has a 'Silent' mode (as do most if not all) which I always turn on while driving.

Well Jython is just the new name for JPython, which has been around since 2000.
Scala development began in 2001 (though the first release was 2003).
.NET came out in 2002.
And your point is what, precisely?
And I read the headline as "Generic VMS ...", promptly shitting myself in the process :)
Whoop de doo!

Guy Fawkes would like to disagree.
We'll be celebrating his failure (though wishing for a modern incarnation to succeed) in a little over two weeks.

Elise based on an MR2?
Give me a break - the Elise has an all aluminium chassis made by Hydro Aluminium, with the fibreglass / carbon fibre composite shell added by Lotus.
Well, Morgan used to make a 3 wheel sports car, and they used to be able to lap Brooklands at over a ton (all power from a big twin bike engine).
The configuration's still available today - here's a video of an old Moggie and a Grinnall Scorpion being let out to play.
Pretty stable, no?
Nice one - I'm going to have to dig out the 'Not the 9 O'Clock News' video again :)
My penis is larger than 23cm, you insensitive clod!
Mind you, it's mostly wasted, so can't be bothered arguing with you.

How the fuck is that offtopic?
Does some mod have a beef against jsharkey or something?
(disclaimer - I don't know who jsharkey is, but posting links to free Android apps is offtopic?)
Awesome, just awesome :)
My own (pale by comparison) contribution...

Under which UK law, precisely?
AFAIK, the only recourse the police have if I refuse to divulge the combination to my safe is to engage a locksmith to drill the safe.
The contents of my mind are not, repeat not, accessible under a warrant.
And if Jaqui Schmidt, Herr Braun and their Neues Arbeit stormtroopers say otherwise, well I'm first on the cattle wagons.
Lol, Pinky :P
Bollocks.

No, but please let the rest of us enjoy the Schadenfreude that results from seeing politicians getting bitten by their own legislation :-)

I'm sure there's a rich vein to exploit...
Whoosh!
I sort of agree - but I'd phrase it as "I'd never rely solely on client-side validation".
I get your point, though, and would mod you up if I had points tonight.
Gruss Gott von England :)
Nah - more likely the philosopher :P
