If Google were smart they would capitalise on this by having a memorial, say turning off ads in GMail for a day. Sure, they would lose profit but the amount of good-will they would make would be priceless.
He was employed by a media company, the industry that is affected most by piracy. It would be equivalent to being fired from an autorepair shop for winding the odometer back.
The summary is completely broken which should be easier to notice than dupes? Anyway, it is supposed to say (from the Firehost article those to lazy to click):
"A European Union directive, which Britain was instrumental in devising, comes into force which will require all internet service providers to retain information on email traffic, visits to web sites and telephone calls made over the internet, for 12 months.
Police and the security services will be able to access the information to combat crime and terrorism.
Hundreds of public bodies and quangos, including local councils, will also be able to access the data to investigate flytipping and other less serious crimes.
It was previously thought that only the large companies would be required to take part, covering 95 per cent of Britain's internet usage, but a Home Office spokesman has confirmed it will be applied "across the board" to even the smallest company."
Uploading images on Wikipedia is made difficult on purpose due to the large amount of copyright violations that ended up being uploaded through the easy-to-use interface. I don't understand why it took you so long to find your photo again though, if you go through the history of the article and click the permalink to your version your photo will still be there.
I'm really liking the uninformed bullshit about this being bookmark keywords with a GUI. Do you have a keyword to go back? Home? Forward? Stop? Restart firefox? Act as a calculator? Check next Tuesday's schedule in google calandar instantly? There is a tonne of things ubiquity can do and while it's true some of it's functionality can be mirrored by keywords I would like to see a keyword bookmark that allows you to do "add lunch with jim tomorrow" to your google calandar.
There was an ATM scam a while back similar to this.
People would use matchsticks to jam the cover of the dispenser, where the money comes out, closed and then wait around a corner for someone to make a withdrawal. The machine would say "please take your money" only they couldn't as the cover wouldn't open, so they would go in to the bank to complain, meanwhile the scammer would prise the compartment cover open and take the money.
"I should really go into the video game market. I mean, what other market can you go in to, quit a good job, form a company and be one of the biggest contributing reasons why 100 people lose their jobs, a foreign company has to sell itself to another, and over 200,000 customers are left with $50 coasters, have to liquidate most of your assests, and STILL get a job - one that the employer is even ENTHUSIASIC about wanting you to work with them."
* New servers start with a score of 0 points
* Each time a player connects to a server, it loses 15 points
* For each minute the player stays on the server, it earns 1 point (up to a max of 45 points per player)
At face value it seems that this is wide open to abuse. All it would take is to have a large number of people connect and instantly disconnect. TF server operators better hope they never piss off 4chan.
The other side to this is that when a legitimate customer buys a card that's code has already been found using a keygen their card won't work, I hope Apple has a refund system. The joys of security through obscurity in action.

But the summary is what everyone believes because no one reads the article.

Someone else can maintain AdBlock, no one else can be his daughter's father.

In fact, with that malformed summary I doubt it's even transitional.
Because a troll asked and a mindless sheep complied.
The only thing stopping any country from doing anything is the inevitable retaliation.
I think it is more likely to go:

Having an ATM throwing up 100 Krona notes can't be good for the Icelandic economy.

Oh so I can type "close-related wiki" to close all open wikipedia tabs in opera? And opera has been able to do thos for years? That's good to know.

I remember this quote from flagshipped.com:

There are websites all over the internet that allow you to do country-by-IP-range lookups.
You could also do;

Or don't worry, what does it hurt if people who aren't benefiting from a website visit it?
