    it's the police's job to uphold the law as it's written, not how it *should* be written.

    And to do so required them to arrest him, instead of simply request him to come to the station for interrogation and then let the prosecutor decide whether to take it further? If that had been the case I would have only been befuddled at the response to his post rather than left with a taste of bile in my mouth.

    I have encountered quite a few people that equates the internet with the IE logo. Many of whom that would not even know there are alternatives to the "Internet" unless they were informed about them. The ballot do create a greater diversity among the public and as an effect of that standards are becoming just that, standards. So, with a bit of luck 11 years down the road companies might not be stuck with IE9 but will be on IE16, FFxx or whatever that suit them best. Rather than the current scenario with companies being locked to a browser version that should have died 8 years ago with the release of v.7.

    Why bother with legalities?

    "Extraordinary rendition provoked a diplomatic crisis between the United States and Sweden in 2006 when Swedish authorities put a stop to CIA rendition flights.In December 2001 Swedish police detained Ahmed Agiza and Muhammad al-Zery, two Egyptians who had been seeking asylum in Sweden. The police took them to Bromma airport in Stockholm, and then stood aside as masked alleged CIA operatives cut their clothes from their bodies, inserted drugged suppositories in their anuses, and dressed them in diapers and overalls, handcuffed and chained them and put them on an executive jet with American registration N379P. They were flown to Egypt, where they were imprisoned, beaten, and tortured according to an extensive investigate reports by Swedish programme "Kalla fakta". A Swedish Parliamentary investigator concluded that the degrading and inhuman treatment of the two prisoners violated Swedish law.In 2006 the United Nations found Sweden had violated an international torture ban in its complicity in the CIA's transfer of l-Zari to Egypt.Sweden imposed strict rules on rendition flights, but Swedish Military Intelligence posing as airport personnel who boarded one of two subsequent extraordinary rendition flights in 2006 during a stopover at Stockholm’s Arlanda International Airport found the Swedish restrictions were being ignored.In 2008 the Swedish government awarded al-Zery $500,000 in damages for the abuse he received in Sweden and the subsequent torture in Egypt."

    Normal behavior is to keep the box until you verify that the thing works, then you chuck the box.

    Defining what is normal is in many cases far from a clear cut line. In some instances I too keep boxes. I buy plenty of camera gear at the higher end of the price scale, and I likewise sell gear regularly. To be able to sell a +1000 euro lens with the box adds another 50 or so in its second hand value, that is 50 euros easily earned by keeping the box stashed away, money which I can spend on some little nice extra gadget or on a treat for my wife. Granted that having a wife to spend money on may not be considered a normal thing here on /. but in the rest of the world it is quite normal.
