    What's with the leading T? This isn't Italy; The English speaking world already pronounce "ch" correctly, at least when translating phonemes from Cyrillic to Latin character sets.

    Completely off-topic, but then again I've never heard of Tkerbobil.

    I take it, from the necessity of a Slashdot article, that PulseAudio is currently the latter?

    That'll be because you had no investments with the banks who were facing bankruptcy.

    My employer lost several million pounds when Iceland's bank went insolvent. Something tells me you'd be screaming at the Government to bail out your bank if you had no way to remove the funds quickly.

    Force work for the public sector of equal value to the loan given, then. Waste collection, administrative work, hell even put CompSci grads into tech positions.

    It'd only be fair to the tax payer to save some cash on employing temps or covering maternity placements, plus the students get workplace experience. How is that not a winner for everyone?

    N.B. I'm not saying "Employ bankrupt students instead of proper applicants or whatever, but more as an assistance to them; Think of it as BOGOF for the Tech team.

    To add to realism, if you're spotted taking pictures of a bus or a policeman by accident, you're arrested, lose all of your kit, and have a very intimate dialogue with a 23st trucker named Jim.

    I'd say that they forfeited whatever protections the civilized world had previously agreed to.

    I have to disagree with you there. The "civilised world" lost that status when it decimated civilian populations indiscriminately.

    The Geneva Convention doesn't apply to both parties engaged in conflict if one party has not signed, so that's supposed to be an excuse to act in the most atrocious ways imaginable? Might as well tear the whole thing up, IMHO. Nothing "civilised" about that at all.

    Prior to entering the embassy, the group had agreed that the leader would share expensive items on a fair basis. This ended up with the master taking everything for himself, with many of the other players taking their issues up with the HR department. Common phrases used in missives were "OMGWTF NINJA LOOT I AM RPRTIN U ASSHOLE!!" and "I'm never grouping with you again, and I'm telling everyone in Trade that you are a douche."

    The leader didn't seem phased; He had all of the loot. Suckers.

    There is even a case at present where a Ukranian website is defending statements it made in Ukranian regarding a Ukranian company, but in a British court...

    Where were the comments posted? This isn't clear from your post.

    If they were posted on an English website, hosted in England, how is this any different than the US wanting to charge Gary McKinnon in a US court? Seems like we're both as bad as each other...

    Face facts here, bud. The publication of the pictures of Rihanna's assault were nothing to do with the lack of tact of the blogging community, but more so that the public seems to see that every single facet of celebrity life is public domain.

    At least the paparazzi didn't get any money out of it.

    I have a friend who listens to death metal music, and frequently wears t-shirts with some truly profane slogans. Worst one I've seen is "Jesus is a c*nt."

    The issue isn't about children being exposed to objectionable material, it's teaching them why it's objectionable and that they should learn to ignore it, but accept that everyone has an opinion to express. They don't need to agree, and they're free to walk away, not socialise, and ignore that person.

    Is it really so fucking hard?

    For you car enthusiasts, it's like adding additional locks to the car doors -- it doesn't help if the windows (haha) are already broken.

    What a totally rubbish analogy.

    It's more like having a key for the ignition, and also having a 4 digit code to disable the immobiliser system. Your car keys becomes only half of the required data to start, and therefore steal, the car. Something you have (car keys), and something you know (passcode).

    Nobody is saying it'll stop theft of private details outright. It'll just make extra-super-dooper hard for the lay-criminal.
