A friend living in London received yesterday by mail two parking violations and one moving violation fine, total cost over 200 (pounds, not dollars). But it appears the UK does not yet have enough surveillance... maybe she can look forward to receiving five per day, not a measly three. Jeremy Bentham would have been proud.
It is not clear the Court would have in personam jurisdiction over the Defendant... service of process might be a problem...and even if it goes through you can be sure a Motion to Quash would follow, citing sovereign immunity:(
All the more reason for me to stick to my BlackBerry (not that there ever was an issue of me going over to the iPhone). It is better in every respect I have a use for.
I'm impressed... and hope this will usher in (yeah, yeah... in the long run) an age of openness that will relegate current smartphones, if not computers as well, to museum curiosities -- of an era akin to early Industrial Revolution.
Incidentally, We Are Not Amused by does-it-make-an-effing-phone-call witticisms. Of course it will! Not to mention that phone calls currently account for maybe 1% of my overall BlackBerry usage. Don't sweat the small stuff:)
My friend in London is being snooped upon 300 times a day already by videocams. Now that her internet usage will be recorded we can only hope that authorities attempting to coordinate the two will use the Last Hope for Freedom: Windows.
Excellent posts, this and parents. Let me add a small point: I know a number of "kids" in various European countries who live on 700 -800 Euros a month. They tell me, after paying rent, water and power and making a trip to the supermarket for groceries they are down to coin money until next month. So the music they obtain through P2P is not music they would have bought otherwise; rather, they would have done without it. As it is, I do get to find out what music they play -- and I for one do buy music that I like. The net effect for those selling music is positive.
I do believe the evils of music sharing are being overstated.
You are thinking about Riemann integration... the function that is 1 on the rationals and 0 on the irrationals is not R-integrable. Lebesgue integration has fixed this problem.
The issue under discussion is that a set M of measure 0 is negligible when integrating, so when you define a function to be 0 outside M then integrating it amounts to integrating the identically 0 function. This seldom yields interesting results:))

Considering the current state of the economy, ALL clients are bound to be thin.

You cannot be too rich, too thin, or have too much bandwidth :-P
Let the RIAA lose a couple of more such cases and IT can be dubbed a vexatious litigant.
Have those developers already received overtures to run the robots on embedded Windows?
P.S. Free Xboxes for the development environment, wheeee

Laptops, however, will _still_ be getting 1 1/2 hour of unplugged life tops :(
Oh. I _was_ going to DRM it... But naah. Go right ahead :))

It's the loneliness of the long-distance hax0r.
Why did I wait?! Because I am Lazarus Long and I do things my own way, Bob.

There is also something called "Hong Kong". :)

Yeah, and we also used to think who gets elected President mattered...
For a circle, the circumference is pi * diameter. If the diameter increases by a factor of x, so does the circumference.
What I wondered about is why women are given more leeway, when statistically women have slimmer waists than men.
