Ignoring the fact that he plead guilty and will be sentenced, just the arrest had serious implications.
This guy now has virtually no chance of ever getting a job that requires a CRB (criminal records bureau) check (let alone an ECRB check). Every job I've had in the IT world in the last 8 years has required one, and in the current economy, if they have 10 applicants with no arrests on their record and 1 with an arrest, they're not going to take the chance on him.
It means that he can't visit many countries visa-free any more. It means that his DNA and fingerprints are on file. All this for a badly timed joke.
Bicycle theft is a huge issue in the Netherlands. Around 750,000 bikes are stolen per year. 50,000 are stolen in Amsterdam alone, meaning that about 10% of all cycles in the city are stolen annually.
Problem is that they're not lying. I got into this fight with Robert Dyas, only to be proved wrong. After 6 months, the customer has to prove that the defect was a design or manufacturing defect to be eligible for free replacement or repair.
As it is older than 6 months, you have to prove to them that it is a manufacturing or design defect before they are obligated to fix it. You do this by having an engineer review the item and write a report. You can then claim those costs in small claims court if you win.
I've ordered 3 from Farnell and had them delivered within 3 days of placing the order.
If you're waiting for an RS order, it can't hurt to buy from Farnell and cancel your RS order if it arrives first. If your RS order beats the farnell one, you have the right to return it within 7 days.
And yet in this case, Tor do not have the book available for sale to the OP.
If publishers don't realise that they are pissing people off by refusing to take their money, they're going to have to face the same challenge that the music industry did, instead of learning from their mistakes and offering a solution.
Hardly elective. about 18 weeks ago, my NHS doctors misdiagnosed severe ligament and bone damage as simply 'tennis elbow'. My private medical has so far covered 3 orthopedic visits and 9 sessions with the hand therapist. They are also going to cover the surgery to adress the bone damage (with no deductible / excess) as well as all rehabilitative care.
None of this is elective surgery. When it's done, my nose will still be bent, my ears will be flappy and I'll still look like some kind of scary freak, but I'll be able to bend my elbow by more than the current 20 degrees.
And from case law that has been appealed all the way to the house of lords, I can confirm that it isn't. Just because a random plod let you off does not mean that your experience defines the law.
In the first case, the tool was found in the glove box of a vehicle and a conviction was still reached. I'm not 100% sure about the conditions surrounding the second arrest.
Most of the banks I know spend at least $300,000 a year on equipment and salaries to block sites like facebook. Given how much they spend to stop their own staff accessing FB, why did they try and sell it to other people?
It's actually NOT perfectly legal to have a locking blade on a multitool. To the best of my knowledge, there are only two multitools that are legal for day to day carry in the UK. One is a victorinox with a non locking blade and the other is the Leatherman knifeless fuse.
Carrying a blade that locks open, regardless of length is illegal unless you can prove that you had a good reason to have it with you. It is an absolute or strict liability offence, and the police do not need to prove intent or guilt in any way - you are automatically guilty unless you can show a good reason for having the item with you at the time you are arrested.
Having a multitool on the way to work where it will be used is acceptable and defensible. Having one with a locking blade at the pub on your way home from work is NOT acceptable or defensible under UK law. Ministers have admitted that they never intended for this to be the case when the knife laws were drafted, but at least two people have been convicted of knife crime for having a multitool on their person and not being able to show a reasonable excuse for having it at that time - again, habitual carry is not an accepted excuse.
RBS (a UK bank) were told by dozens of people that getting rid of the people who knew the batch processing system and moving their jobs to India was dumb. They did it anyway.
Week before last it all went bang. People weren't getting paid, at least 2 people were stuck in jail because they couldn't prove that they'd paid their bail due to RBS systems being down.
Only one way to find out - get an American judge to issue an extradition warrant. It's not like we just ship them over because we think you'll want them - you have to ask first:)
Internet petitions don't change governments? Say it isn't so!
And to say that his fate is sealed is to ignore a large number of appeals routes he still has available to him. Hell, McKinnon is still here despite YEARS of attempts to extradite him.
How many people has SpaceX successfully delivered to (and safely retrieved from) space? How many has the Soyuz ?
So for right now, the Soyuz is vastly superior for the simple reason that it's the only vehicle that can do the job.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of what SpaceX are doing and have done. I bought the dragon commemorative shirt on the vacation discussed above. But given that right now they still need to add seating, life support and other features to the dragon, you can bet that manned transport is going to be a WHOLE lot more pricey per flight than the COTS2 mission was. We still don't actually know _what_ they're going to have to charge to be man-capable.
It turns out that the Russians won the space race when they realised that it was a marathon, not a sprint.
I just visited the USA and while I was there, I toured both Johnson (on the day their replica space shuttle arrived) and Kennedy space centers. The amount of bullshit that was spouted to tourists about the current US space programme honestly made me cry at one point.
We've stopped moving people to new places so that we have more money to kill brown people.
Because decades ago, the need for computers was limited to a few large companies. Today, it is very hard to live well as an individual in a western democracy without a computer.
The difference between filing my taxes online and having to do them on paper is about GBP600 per year. Renewing my tax disc on my car and my bike takes 10 minutes on the internet vs 1 hour in the local post office at lunch time. Being able to buy goods online increases where and how I can spend the extra disposable income that the savings give me, thus stimulating the local economy. Maps, communications, the list goes on.

That's not what the consumer advice bureau advised me. I had to go the route of getting an engineer to review it and then claim in small claims court.

Yet they still cycle.

Or threaten to kill them. That's what he's really in trouble for.

I blame the CPS far more than I do the police. The police make an arrest - the CPS decide whether to pursue a charge or not.
Kittinger is a consultant on this project, so I guess he's ok with losing his record :)
Where in Europe ? The UK still uses imperial...
And if I remember that, they included mortgage / rent costs in the expenditure box just to skew the amounts.

RBS won't change a thing after this.
There is no long term loyalty from any job.

why is today any different?

These cards are all over Europe.
We have chip and pin too, but many UK and German cards now have this as well.
I can't get FTTC from anyone other than BT without major caps. As soon as I want fixed IP as well, I'm SOL - my only choice is BT.
I'm still tempted, just because my ADSL connection currently is 3Mb/0.6Mb
