I've posted about this before, but i'll post it again.
A guy in my local had an indecent image of a child emailed to him from an address unknown to him. He didn't know what the email contained, and it was obscured with content which wouldn't identify it as being CP in any way (subject and body were innocuous). He called the local police station and a PC came down to check it out.
Apparently, the PC saw the picture, turned to the guy, and said (paraphrasing) "I'm going outside for a smoke. You're going to delete that email and the picture before I come back in, or I have to arrest you for viewing an indecent image of a minor. That's just how the law is written."
Moral of the story? If you're in the UK, don't report ANYTHING to the police. Ever.
I have a facebook profile with fake information (well, not fully real). Not only are people posting my full information when linking or commenting me in pictures, but I am in fact breaking UK law by providing false information for registration.
The trouble with trying to be safe and secure while online is that nobody else seems to give a shit about it but you.
Hi, Bureau of Political Insanity here. I'm afraid your phrase "words of ethnic descent" is no longer the preferred phrase. We believe that this is still too much of a segregation between "words of ethnic descent" and "words of non-ethnic descent."
From now on all words, regardless of hue, palette, or Pantone reference, shall simply be refered to as "words." For instance, these words are just words, they are not "coloured words", "words of ethnic descent", or "words which have been highlighted because they signify something different to any other word. They are just as useful as the other words, and we applaud their contribution to society without at all decreasing the contributions from all other words, regardless of origin."

Maybe he should watch this video and approach Lockheed Martin with "Hey, that's great and all, but can you modify it to allow heavy loads to be lifted up a staircase in a factory?"
Yeah. It'll totally keep you alive during a Resonance Cascade too!
No, this reminds me more of the leg braces worn by Chell in the Portal game, but only in that it will take the strain away from the user's legs in normal motion. I doubt it would respond well to jumping from great heights.
If you really want to help cut the costs of shipping, stop importing water from the other side of the planet when the stuff that comes out of your tap is perfectly drinkable.
Then other people who agree with the case of the plaintiff should show that support by donating money or time to a common fund, much like donating money to NewYorkCountryLawyer's website for the outstanding work he does.
One man cannot win any battle, but it only takes one spokesperson to rally a thousand supporters. It's a question of who is willing to put their neck on the line. If I could guarantee that the rest of the nation wouldn't be the apathetic, TV-hungry baffoons we know them to be, I'd be first in the queue, believe me.

HURD.

Since May 2008, bud.
Something tells me that the people who apply for the job are just the people you don't want doing it.
DNS servers constantly link to banned websites.
The internet is banned.
Fraud. Well done.
That's exactly the way to rectify this situation.

Maybe I was making a sly reference to DN:F never being released by anybody!
No, I was just being stoopid.

Maybe id will port Duke Nukem: Forever to Linux as a tribute to the up and coming market dominance.

This is the best first post I have ever seen.
I don't care if I get modded offtopic; It needed to be said.
So the Queen signed the order to go to war in Iraq?
I've just lost quite a considerable amount of respect for her.
Hmmm... And what do you think stops the Government from bringing about a dissolution of the monarchy?
Could it be that she rubber stamps pretty much anything they put in front of her?
Politicians in the UK are perfectly willing to throw away people's rights in the name of security, but that doesn't mean the population is OK with it.
I'd be willing to go cause some civil disobedience in London over this. Who would join me?
Nobody? Yup, this is The United Kingdom of Apathy alright.

Wouldn't want to irritate Magenta either. He'll levitate your ass!
