So, you report your neighbour for purchasing chemicals X and Y from the gardening store because they can be used to make IEDs, and are yourself flagged because you know that chemicals X and Y can be used to make IEDs.
Dear America,
Please add me to your No Fly lists so I never, even accidentally, come anywhere near your Orwellian country again.
That isn't room for another car, that's a safe following distance. People who can't tell the difference are the reason why we're having this off-topic discussion.
Cars may have improved in the past 30 years, but drivers certainly haven't. In fact, they've compensated for the improvements in vehicle safety by driving like twats.
You've made the incorrect assumption that the person who has passed doesn't speed up to their original driving speed once they have reached their safe following distance.
Once I'm approx 2 seconds behind the car in front, I accelerate to match their speed. If another motorist pulls into that space, I make my change again. I never brake, as with good observation and planning that's unnecessary outside of an emergency or stationary traffic. I watch both the road as far as I can see for upcoming traffic issues, and the brakes of the car in front of the car in front of me so I can anticipate the car in front braking (like a moron) and slow down without braking to accommodate it, reducing the magnified ripple effect of many cars braking in a row.
In short, you wrong and willfully ignorant of how to drive properly. I bet you're one of the guys who pulls into a safe following distance spot and causes these issues in the first place.
If being fined by automated traffic monitoring systems is such a big deal for you, maybe you should consider changing how you drive.
On my way to work I've driven past at least four speed cameras, and two locations for temporary Police speed monitoring, and through an intersection with a red light camera for the past five years, and not once have I received a ticket. I've seen the cameras fire, so I know they work.
Granted this is totally anecdotal, and I know nothing of how things are where you are, but it seems that the only thing these places have in common is it's you driving through them.
Boom. I just hope they have offices in Germany too, because those guys are happy to throw their weight around when it comes to consumer data protection.
I don't see why their opinion needs much consideration.
It's good for those who take our security seriously^W^W^W^Whave a vested financial interest to drum up some good ol' Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. Nothing fills the coffers like a scared populace.
You are required, by law, to allow access to the data held on an individual in order to check for accuracy and relevance to purpose. If you don't do that, you're in breach of the Data Protection Act.
IANANP (you can work it out), but can't weapons-grade fissile material be used in a power plant? It is my understanding that the difference between power plant fuel and weapons payload is the quality of the material. Surely dismantled warheads can be reverse-refined (poisoned?) into something useable?
A lot of "All you can eat" buffets have a time limit. One I know of in my local city has a limit of 1h45m. Otherwise you could, quite literally, sit there all day drinking tap water and eating chinese food all day for the price of a couple of Happy Meals.
A lot of folk within the UK could do with reminding of this too. Some of the things that are in her speeches are so obviously government spin that they may as well have the Chief Whip out in front of the camera moving her jaw with his hand and speaking the words out of the corner of his mouth.
You wouldn't believe how much money I'm making installing Classic Shell on PCs in my local town. £20 a pop for my time, and they're happy as anything. For those who care I have ISOs for Windows 7 to downgrade if they wish / are licensed, but it's very rare.
I agree, but the way in which he did it could be better. Head over to the Popehat article and read about the judge littering his order with Star Trek puns. Nerd joy? Yes. Appropriate in the courtroom? Hell no. Dude needs to take his job seriously.
CGNAT is NAT for your external IP address. Your router will assign private network IP addresses so your devices on your internal network, but the external interface on your router will have a publically addressable IP address assigned by the pool allocated to your ISP. Depending on their size, they may have a pool of tens of thousands or millions of addresses to assign, but you definitely got one even if you didn't know it.
Why even an SD slot? My Hyundai has a USB slot and 3.5mm jack designed for use with their proprietary cable to connect to an iPod. Currently there is a 32GB USB stick in the port, sticks out around 3mm so it's not in the way at all. At 128kbps, approx 1MB per minute of audio, that's over 22 days worth of constant music playback, and zero inconvenience.
22 days not enough? Pony up another £20, get another 32GB. You can swap it out in seconds.
The problem doesn't lie with the politicians, they're just working the system and the electorate.
Yes and no. The politicians are definitely good at playing the system for profit, so they are definitely smart. They are still the problem, however, because they should be running the fucking country instead of profiteering.
I agree that it's not fraud, but theft. You are stealing the bank's money, and doing it knowingly. That money is not yours, you know it isn't, and you continue to take.
Interesting side note; If money is accidentally deposited into the wrong account, even at your error, you are entitled to that money back. It is your money, and you intended to give it to a specific person. Nobody else can claim "Oh, he put it in my account, so it's mine." (In the UK, at least).

Knowing that gets you on this list. Be sure to report your neighbours before they report you!

I see this as the other way around, in that it's taking the workplace around with you.
I look forward to being able to SSH into work on my BYOD tablet and update TPS report covers from the pub, and the company paying for it.
I swear to Christ if the next "leap" is sandwiching two 1920x1080 monitors together and making a fucking TV for my computer desk will flip my shit.
Bring Retina quality displays to the desktop. If I can get 1080p on a fucking mobile phone I expect 4k on my desktop at 20".
Make it so.
