Because he's not at his computer monitoring his server, and the (presumingly) developer is attempting to utilise a down resource? Seems like a great system to me.
By the way, do you Admin anywhere? If so, where? I'm sure I'd have notived by now, as when I call my upstream provider with an issue, they're right on it. People who ignore me lose my business.
Reading comprehension fail. The perp already has the goods, this is about culpability. Is it the bank's fault (they pay the bill) or the customer's fault (he pays the bill). Either way, the transaction approves and the perp gets the goods.
I'll sign up to the beta, play for 10 minutes, say "Where's the rest of the game? Where's the LAN play? What the hell is this DRM crap?" and not come back until it's sorted.
[W]hat prevents a plaintiff with very deep pockets from suing a defendant for something, losing, suing them again, losing, etc until the defendant's funds with which to defend themselves run out?
I'm unsure about the first three without examples, but I can tell you more about the magistracy. The three magistrates who sit are essentially a small jury, and as such examine fact over law. Advice (more instruction) on the law (and appropriate sentencing) is given by a legal advisor who is a trained solicitor, often with quite considerable experience. Magistrates almost always follow the guidance of the legal advisor as there are big issues with being overly harsh or lenient. I know several magistrates.
New guidelines are very much against using Section 44 powers to stop people taking photographs. The idiocy of some of the stops got too embarrassing.
Besides that, +1 my man. Couldn't have said it better myself.
If the RIAA loses, media coverage will halt instantly.
What's the point of building the hysteria around file sharing only to have it flounder? The best we'll get is a few/. stories and 'blog coverage. Count on it.
I believe ( hope ) that the parent was referring to the stigma of "downloading music is bad bad bad!" and not that independent song writers can charge what they want for their products (which may be less than RIAA approved pricing structure).
If not, I don't know why anyone wasted their mod points on him.
Actually, I'd argue I don't feel any safer because I didn't feel unsafe before. I'm more likely to die by alcohol poisoning, in a car accident, from a heart attack, or cancer, and these are all things that I can have a direct influence on.
That's why you don't question the actions of the officer. When arrested, you say "Of course I will come with you, officer." and accompany the man to the station. You are processed as usual (confirming personal details only, answering no other questions), you request legal representation, and you wait.
After you've spoken to your legal representative and have been questioned, they will decide where you go from here. If you're charged, you get your day in court to defend your actions and to question the authority of the arrest, if not you start an official complaint and begin the process of getting your personal details removed from the PNC. You can be a real heartache for a police officer if you know which buttons to push.
The systems are there, you just have to know how to use them effectively.
"The ratio of cannabis material required to produce a fatal overdose to the amount required to saturate cannabinoid receptors and cause intoxication is 40,000:1; consumption of such a large dose is virtually impossible. It is generally considered impossible to overdose on marijuana, as the user would certainly either fall asleep or otherwise become incapacitated from the effects of the drug before being able to consume enough THC to be mortally toxic." - Effects of Cannabis
"Step one: First you must procure enough cannabis to die from lethal toxicity when consumed.
Doing so can be a rather arduous process, unless you are able to grow your own. You will have to obtain approximately 1,500 pounds of cannabis, or about 681.81 kilograms."
Actually no... he probably doesn't report other people for minor infractions; thus no hipocrisy.
But we're not talking about reporting other people reporting crimes. It's one person who's distanced himself from somebody because an expectation of behaviour was not maintained, even though that behaviour wasn't something the person would have performed themselves. Two standards, if you will; One of us, one for them.

I bought Octavarium based on hearing Dream Theater on Spotify. I won't bother with the rest of their albums.
I'll also post on their Facebook / fansites telling them so.

You're too old, grandpa. If you're not telling everybody the most minute detail of your day then you're just not hip anymore.

Offtopic, but actually you can't.

It really depends on what you define as breaking it.
If it's still beating, it's not broken.
Further, you probably shouldn't be "applying" a hammer to a beating heart. The owner might become irritated.
