It shows poor judgment to allow compromising photographs of yourself to be available to all and sundry. It's not a massive leap to assume such a person fails to grasp the concept of cause and consequence and is not a 'safe pair of hands'.
I imagine that Apple would not be permitted to halt the supply of existing contracts or even prevent new contracts from being made under anti-competition regulation.
However, Apple could use the new technological advances to stay ahead of the curve by putting new chips in their devices before offering to others after a pre-defined period. There is no harm in that as new tech will filter out to all manufacturers/users over time.
Worse IMO. When MS detects a modded box it chooses to assume the mod is for nefarious purposes and imposes a ban. I think that's fair. The bricking less so. If you want to mod the box, buy a second one or don't connect to XBL.
In the PS3 case, the consumer has done nothing wrong but is sustaining a loss with no compensation. One would assume that trying to sign in to the PS network with a hacked box will result in a permanent ban unless you can have an undetectable firmware (such as version 3.21OO as touted by George Hotz - the author of the iPhone jailbreak).
You heard it here first, Sony advance to the head of the shitlist. Microsoft loses its crown after so many years at the top.
I agree. Sony could have offered the machine in locked down form then offered to unlock it for a fee but they didn't go about it like that. They traded on the fact that it could run other OS then removed the function.
It amounts to the same as selling something that is 'not as described' but on a retrospective basis.
Imagine if you purchased a car with a Bose sound system only for the vendor to pop around to your house a couple of months later to swap it out for a cheap standard system. Is this fair Sony? How about if the vendor said "okay, you can keep the sound system but I have to take the wheels". Is that fair?
I'm not saying that car dealers are not thieving rob-dog scumbags but they will at least give you the option of a Bose sound system or include it in the price, you know, *to keep*.
Being deliberately obtuse makes you look foolish. Ignorance of the law is no excuse, sure, but this does not mean that you have to memorise 2900 pages of it to understand the US Health bill. The mechanics of the bill may be described in the bill but this will not have an effect on any one person as a whole as any proposed health service would apply to many thousands of people with different roles and levels of importance.
You could try looking up the definition of 'law' before making ridiculous comments. Just remember that you do not have to memorise the whole dictionary though won't you?
Lawyers create law as a result of the instructions received from their clients. Would you be able to address all issues in the US Health reform bill in less than 1100 pages?
I look forward to your attempted re-draft - in Flash if possible.
Formula 1 has a few road tracks with less than perfect road surfaces and Monaco is famous for being about as twisty and uppy and downy as you could possibly want it. Rubbish for overtaking but great fun when it rains.
Generally, new tracks tend to be anodyne and now that the refuelling has been abolished, the new tracks are even less interesting.
Getting back to the subject, how long before another person is killed attempting to break the record? I applaud pushing the boundaries of technology but is there any benefit to having a person onboard? Why not design a A.I. driver interface at the same time?
To take advantage of your private health insurance you still need to get to a hospital alive.
To this end, your only option is to use the local health authority ambulance service in the first instance.
After this point your private insurance will be of some use - particularly if you added the additional resurrection cover.

Health Care Reform

The UK system works very well but is not perfect. If you want a quicker service you can use private healthcare.
My previous boss had to had a triple heart by-pass which he had on his firms private health insurance. The consultant said that the treatment was 95% effective if treated straight away yet under NHS cover his condition would have been treated with medication until it got so serious that the by-pass was necessary to prevent death at which point it would be only 60% effective. Incidentally, the procedure is carried out by the same consultant in either case as he works for NHS and private healthcare firms.
What is apparent is that you *will* get treatment no matter what your financial position - this includes all all types of treatment rather than emergency procedure only. This can only be a good thing.
I would welcome the US to lead the way and implement a system from the ground up. The UKs NHS system is antiquated and one of the most inefficient systems around. It is bloated with many tiers of overpaid management which leads to underpayment of important people such as nurses. It employs around 1.3 million people for a population of around 65 milion yet still has no unified computer system despite allocating billons to this task (the budget was quadrupled and the time estimate tripled with no sign of conclusion).
How long before there is a class action lawsuit against Sony for articifically reducing the value of assets that are purchased in good faith. What happens if you wish to sell your PS3 and all of the games? The package will be devalued by the amount of resubscriptions required for the online games.
Fibre up? Shall we start with the correct spelling of 'fibre' - it is in the UK after all. I'm unsure at which point across the pond the fibre turns into fiber though. Or does it depend upon which way data is travelling?

A floating casino powered by the wind - the very definition of 'spiritual'. It's a win-win situation for sure.

I heard it was for trying to charge postage on top of the 'all inclusive' price. Alternatively he refused to honour the 'sale or return' policy.
I had no idea that there was a problem with counterfeiting of US bills that are all the same size, look the same use the same 'effluent aroma'.

This is true. The English Channel is basically our front lawn which the Europeans should stay off.

Well, you *would* say that... Better to be thought of as a fool than to open ones mouth and remove all doubt. ;-)
