    And yet they still own (have in their possession) the original article of which I now have a copy.

    Tell me, if I take a photograph of the Mona Lisa, should the Louvre notify the Gendarmerie that it's been stolen?

    The teachers where I work simply refuse to use the cameras I've just bought them. Instead, they're sticking with these

    For those of you who might think that this is an exaduration, here's a snapshot (and associated article) from the BBC's coverage.

    The best the Lib Dem can hope for is a coalition with the Tories, and that's a god-awful thing to have. Here's my idea of the proportional representation discussion in the Commons, should it occur:

    Clegg: Proportional representation please!
    Cameron: DENIED!

    Ad infinitum, and that will apply for every single decision for the next four years. It will suck.

    "If part of the main switching equipment failed and had to be reset, it would fail to function without completely reconfiguring it manually. This would bring down emergency service communication most importantly, but many other networked services too." said the prosecution.

    Has anyone considered that he might have had the same mentality as a lot of /. currently hold?

    I hope they got permission from Walt Disney to use the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack in their advertisement.

  15. Re:Journalist? on Police Seize Computers From Gizmodo Editor · · Score: 1

    I'm wondering how things would have gone if the conversation had gone thusly:

    "Hey, I know where you can find a prototype 4G iPhone! This is a big dead, what are you going to offer me for this information?"
    "Gee, thanks buddy! That's a real scoop! We'll offer you a free year's subscription to Jugs mag!"
    "Hell naw! I have the internet, boi! I get my Jugs for free, just like my air! I want $5k."
    "Done! Where is it?"
    "In my pocket! It fell in there when I nudged a table where a dude in an Apple shirt was just sitting. He didn't seem to want it."

    I understand journalists can buy information readily. Maybe they're a victim of their own big mouths.

    I didn't see an IANAL disclaimer to your comment, and therefore have to assume you know exactly what you're talking about.

    Then again, we all know that old phrase about "assuming" things. Perhaps I'll take this opinion in this comment with an enormous pinch of salt, and go back to reading the actual statutes quoted, which disagree with you.

    Sure it will, as long as they can maintain an expression of "cautiously aroused" while staring directly up and with one eye shut, jaw clenched.

    Who looks to their phone manufacturer for support? XDA Developers have several contributors who will cook ROMs almost to spec, and there are dozens for any HTC device you can think of. Unlocking, SIM lock removal, flashing new radio versions, porting ROMs and apps from other models, there's even several groups porting Android to different HTC devices. 2.0.1 is currently alpha on the Topaz (Touch Diamond 2 / Pure).
