IANAL, but I understand that, at the discretion of the local courts, civil judgements obtained in one common law jurisdiction can be enforced in other common law jurisdictions, so English judgements have been enforced in the US, Australia etc and vice versa, usually involving cases where someone has been judged to owe money in one jurisdiction and has been traced to another.
However, because of the issue of libel tourism from the UK, US states have recently begun to specifically exclude the enforcement of English libel judgements in their jurisdictions.
But if this Weber (Joe) detected the gravity waves at the same time as SN1987A lit up, the Honorverse has a major problem as that Weber (David) assumed that gravity waves would be FTL.
Brenda would be the sovereign, only a few places like Tonga got to keep their indigenous monarchies. Obama would have to settle for being Prime Minister, or rather Premier, which was the usual term for the chief minister of a self-governing colony. You see, having been in rebellion for 233 years, I don't think we'd trust the Americans with full Dominion status right from the start.
For years now the UK has been leader in the "Western Nation Most Likely To Become A Police State" league, and the French just can't bear to be beaten by us at anything, so in one daring move they've grabbed the crown from us. Vive la France!
However unless I'm very much mistaken a near-equatorial location is only advantageous for equatorial orbits, and a polar orbit can be launched from any latitude.
I do think the Lords will get the 42 days struck from the bill. I don't think they'll back down on this one and accept it, and so the government will have the choice of dropping 42 days or losing the whole bill for a year before being able to resubmit it under the Parliament Act - I think they'll prefer to drop the 42 days.
Back in the 1990s I worked for a large local authority that used IBM mainframes running VM/CMS - some of the system files had datestamps back to the mid-1970s. I know my former employer doesn't use big iron any more, but plenty of people still do so I'd wager there's plenty of code from that era or earlier still running on IBM it.
I hate Outlook. I really, really despise it. I even hate Outlook-wannabes like Thunderbird. But if I had to choose between it and Notes, no question: Notes is possibly the worst-designed, most unintuitive, unconventional bit of software of all time. It's strange whn you consider that its parents have in their time produced some of the sweetest software ever (Lotus: AmiPro, IBM: OS/2) that they could be responsible for such a pile of crud.
It's interesting that all the authors you list are, I'd contend, as well or better known for their SF - Leiber perhaps, excepted. I would certainly contend that SF authors who turn their hand to fantasy are usually a lot better than most fantasy-only authors, and I'd also contend that Tolkien stands head-and-shoulders above the mass of fantasy-only authors.
You may not think much of fantasy as a genre, and I'd tend to agree with you if you do, but I do think Tolkien is one of the best, if not the best fantasy writer there has been; to the extent that 95% of the rubbish that's been churned out since is a poor pastiche of him.
By Pohl and Kornbluth if memory serves (can't be asked to look it up). Corporations control everything, including the government. Invasive advertising everywhere. That's 2/3. If Peta succeeds it'll be a full house!
If (when) the US federal government accepts its WTO treaty obligations and removes the national ban on online gambling, but the US still gets slapped with WTO sanctions 'cos some states won't budge from their local bans. Good be very good news for us in the EU if we get to legally use US IP for free, which is what the sanctions may turn out to be.
I thought it was the speaking clock somewhere in Australia that he patched them through to. IIRC the BBC TV version played a little snippet that went something like "At the third stroke it will be [whatever], just enough time to crack open another tinnie."

With technology, he's a more efficient jackass.
And easier to catch out, so perhaps this is an improvement.
And you can still find a shield-chewing beserker...

In summary, Jack Straw has many hats, and the email address he uses should depend on the hat he is wearing at the time.
"And which hat are you talking through now, Minister?"

Magnus Magnusson always used to say that "law" was a eord we got from the Vikings.

I've ALWAYS wanted to conquer the solar system along with our Brit cousins!
Only if we can call the joint venture "Spacefleet" and the spaceship "Anastasia".
Hmm, yes I did, but that's sort of semi-leased to the US too...
We should never have given up RAF Gan if you ask me.
Unfortunately we leased the only remaining bit of the British Empire near the equator to you lot back in 1976.

But shirley you must have the concept of delegated powers over there?

So what would say is first rate fantasy then?

As I have my mortgage with NR, but I think I'm going to re-mortgage if this is how they're going to behave.
...then this is the least that you deserve.

I still think that was the best word processor I ever used.

I thought that the Red Cross was protected under international law and couldn't be used for non-humaitarian purposes.
Oh wait, this is in America, where international law doesn't apply. Sorry.
