Not with ANPR, but with speed cameras. Still valid though, since you still need to see the plate. No matter what they tried, the result was the same: Busted.
verb (used with object)
4. to present or introduce (any point, subject, project, etc.) for discussion.
5. to reduce or remove the practical significance of; make purely theoretical or academic.
So meaning 4 seems appropriate. Strange that a word simultaneously means to introduce it and to remove it from consideration, but it is a pretty old word I think so it has probably evolved quite a bit.
Origin:
before 900; Middle English mot ( e ) meeting, assembly, Old English gemt; cognate with Old Norse mt, Dutch gemoet meeting. See meet1
Sounds like "theory" to me. What's with the media's reporting of science and ambiguous words?:)
There's always the Base Class Library, which is standardised by ECMA 335 and ISO/IEC 23271:2006. AFAIK, both MS's.NET and Mono are fully conformant to the BCL, so there is an element of portability.
Sorry, I just saw it as an ignorant fanboy dig at a rival group of fans but did my best to remain polite anyway.
If only more people were like that. I am many things, but a fanboy I am not:) Roaming profiles are one of the weakest parts of modern Windows, and it should be fairly high on MS's todo list to improve them, rather than worry about how best to force users to Metro.
Are you aware that they impose a mandatory license fee for all households that actively receive the BBC's broadcasts as-live?
If you don't own a TV (or TV tuner card), and only watch BBC shows on iPlayer (but not as-live), then your license fee obligations are the square root of fuck all.
Roaming profiles may be a good idea, but when some flaw turns them into crawling profiles then either the bottlenecks need to be found or the idea needs to be given up on in favour of something local enough to work before the user gets bored and wanders off.
It's not isolated to Windows - if your Linux/OSX setup has your home folder on the network, and the network is crap, then you'll still get performance issues.
Clean efficient reliable and cheap electric public transport would be the icing.
For example, I could pay a few quid to get the tram into town, or I could pay about 50p in petrol to drive in and park in a free car park. Plus I can then bring back a suitcase, or a chair, or even a table. Try getting a table home on a bus/tram/train. And I mean a proper table, not one of those pound-shop plastic stools.

The point is about 1000 miles from your current location.
Looks like 7 will be supported... eventually
Not really - they're normally referred to as 'The Met'. Scotland Yard, or simply 'The Yard', is their HQ.
They're not so much crossing a privacy line than a decency line, although the actions are just as deplorable.
It doesn't - that's what the DBMS is for.

FTFY
My guess would be 'miaow'
It works, can't argue with that :-)

It depends how you define 'modern computer'.
If you mean 'programmable machine', Babbage's Difference Engine is usually credited as the first.
If you mean 'electronic general-purpose computer', it was ENIAC
If you mean 'stored-program computer' (which all modern PCs are), then it was the 'Baby'.
Someone send this guy a copy of Hitchhikers' Guide To The Galaxy...
Stole, or were developing in parallel anyway? That article offers no hard evidence Apple stole anything.
Vita uses cards, not cartridges, though the distinction is a technicality at best.

Not used SVN for a few years, but I've merged branches several times with it. Not sure what you're trying to say.
Another programming language! Why do people keep reinventing the spoon?
Which spoon? The soup spoon? Teaspoon? Tablespoon? Dessert spoon? Wooden spoon?

I know that
I guessed you did - my post was more for general info rather than aimed at any one person.

Because not shutting down your PC every night means you never reboot to install updates right?

By now, security flaws in software should be an expectation of anyone planning on using it, not an occasion for fake dismay.
