Everyone on this board seems to feel the government and cops are dictators just waiting to spring out and look up the nice, friendly, honest people that we are.
BOLLOCKS! The cops will only ask if they have reason to suspect you, if they get it wrong they know you will be able to sue them, etc. The reason the majority of people don't care about things like this is because they know the cops will never have reason to ask after what they have on the computers (encrypted or not).
I'm sure people will reply to this saying that I'm ignorant and its people like me that start allowing dictators into power. I say its people like you who allow dictators in. You complain at every single step a government takes, and all you do is teach people to ignore you. Stop crying WOLF and save your anger and voices until there is actually something to complain about.

The point I'm trying to make is the article above contains the words 'arbitrary interference', this law doesn't change that at all.
I could be wrong but I think he is saying free() does all the work. If you have a 500 object stack and then free the first all the others get moved down with a large overhead, do this 499 times and it is slow.
However by using global garbage collection the compiler knows that all 499 are going to be deleted so it deletes them and then shifts the remaining memory down. This means that the speed increase of using a stack to create memory isn't lost when deleting and so overall it should be faster.
Blast I've forgotten the article, but it compared the mars mission with a few other things, the one that really struck me is that for the price of the new hotel in Vegas we could have got 7-10 mars landers. Also for less than the price of 1 minute of time on the superbowl they could have put extra equipment on the lander to send back info as it was landing.
NASA is so hard up it can't afford what corporations don't even think about - that fault isn't to blaim on them.
Just remember we are talking about less than 200 Mil in a 8 TRILLION economy.
2. Bosses realise that the amount they have to give to stockholders is less. They react in two ways - blame the unions and charge more for their product.
3. Since you are selling to the government taxes go up so you need even larger wages (plus general averice). Prices for the product keep going up. Eventually the company you work for goes bust (the government finds a cheaper supplier) - the stockholders still walk away with most of the money generated over the years.
4. You try to get a new job - the new company hears how your old one went bust due to unions therefore they are banned (or at least resisted).
Unions don't help - the company that closed is instantly replaced by another equally or less ethical. The only representive of the people that has the power to do anything is the government but that is a whole seperate problems.
It will protected for 25 years in the UK. People in the US could probably use the technique after 20 years, they just couldn't import/export it to the UK.
The above information is a WAG (wild assed guess) but seems logical, however lawyers are involved so....
I can't remember where I read the article (I think BBC.co.uk - about the American elections) but it was about how Europeans are much more, err 'robust' when discussing opinions and such where as American's (politicians at least) are much 'politer' (sp?).
Can anyone comment on the differences - Do americans flame more when they are allowed anonymity, or do Europeans flame more as that's how they natural discuss things?
N.B. sorry for spelling - English is my first language so I never bothered learning it:)
