When apple formed a cartel and illegally engaged in price fixing for ebooks they were given a slap on the wrist by the EU, and only the USA took action. Why, because in the cartel were Hachette (french) and Macmillan (German).
Its often see-no-evil when EU firms are involved in illegal activities.
I really suggest you look around. Ios 5 on ipad 1 problems are happening across that board. Google ios 5 buggy to see the 10 s of thousands of comments on this.
A patch was due last nov, it was delayed to fix the problems with this release. I can see over 100 crashes submitted back to apple in the last 7 days, And that is just me, this is just two weeks after doing a full reset.
"I think that they are one of the few companies that get it"
Hmmmmm. I had a trial subscription, £1 per month or something, until it stopped for no reason. Several weeks later they sent me a letter (even though they had my email) to tell me the bank DD didn't work, together with a seeming random bank error string that looked like a line from a core dump. I phoned them up, they didn't know how to fix it, and that was the end of that.
(and yes the story says "town halls" when actually 99% of what its talking about is county/district councillors, so it doesn't apply at all to this story)
Christ, this is little kids, they never did WW2 or the victorians anyway. Just like the comment on the story says, you draw pictures of vikings and romans at that age, you don't study the damm Potsdam Conference!
You teach WW2 at secondary, in a long segment, starting with WW1 to get everything in context. The same as we have been doing for years.
The cameras can be very useful, eg The london murder squad has one of the highest clearup rates in the world, but thats only because time is taken to analyse carefully whats on the tapes.
Like many things they are a tool, analysis based on just the number of cameras cannot tell you anything.
I think the point is that the ipod followed on from the original market leaders, and was only innovative in terms of its syling/interface, not its function. It then took till late 2003, about 3 years after the early mp3 players launched, for itunes for PC to arrive.
There is also the slight problem that the original ipod sounded terrible, it took several models to catch up with the nomad sound quality.
Given the amount of money coming in they should be dropping one of these out every 12 months, this was thrown together to try and keep the competition at bay.
There is no-reason why there shouldn't be 10-15 races by now, with a *proper* crafting system. Instead blizzard wasted time with Raid instances that only the minority wanted.
Doesn't mean I'm not playing it though:) must level... must level... must level.......
yep, I would be buying these if I didn't already have a load of generic NiMH around the place. When they eventually wear out these long discharge types must be the way to go.
Nope, most guns in the uk were and still are shotguns, and are stil legal where needed. Handguns were very seldom held by anyone.
" making armed self-defense punishable as murder,"
Complete garbage.
" violence skyrocketed because criminals know that law abiding citizens have been disarmed."
Complete garbage, carrying handguns has always been illegal.
" Armed crime rose 10% in 1998."
True, but totally unconnected with guns of any kind. I could find a link with the price of baked beans easier than you could find a link with guns.
" The Sunday Times of London reported on the new black market in guns: "Up to 3 million illegal guns are in circulation in Britain, leading to a rise in drive-by shootings and gangland-style execution." "
This is the UK, a rise means 1, and 3 million, damm thats funny you couln't even find 300,000 people who knew how to fire a gun.
"There has been such a heavy increase in the use of knives for violent attacks that new laws have been passed giving police the power to search anyone for knives in designated areas."
Wrong again, stop and search has been around for donkeys years, it was only re-formed as is common in law and order bills.
Dear gun nuts, stop using the UK as an example. You don't have a clue. The UK never had pubic ownership of guns, because we never wanted it.
How true, my maxtor sata failed, its replacement failed, its replacement failed,its replacement failed.....I gave up and asked them to swop for a non-sata model, so far its okay.
I don't know what they did on the sata models , but they are junk.
I hate apple products, they are over priced and under spec'd....but as a Tivo Zealot may I take this chance to welcome my new White overloads and bask in their designey goodness.
What tripe, the copyright issue is not connected to the EU selling issue. Really how hard is this to figure out.
You cannot refuse to sell to someone in another member state, how you arrange your suppliers is your issue, if you cannot meet that law because your suppliers cannot agree then you don't sell their product. It doesn't matter if its music or beans the same rules apply, the whole idea of IP rights being involved is rubbish, thats apple's problem.

except that isnt true.

Total dumps, an embarrassment to London.
Add in the great fire of london memorial , http://www.themonument.info/ .
Also remember to combine things, so for Greenwich for instance get the boat down from Westminster Pier
The blogger's car was torched and his house vandalized.
Another good example of why the net should be as anonymous as possible
A car was torched on the same street != the blogger's car was torched
Another good example of why the net needs a fact checker!
"(yes I know)"
If you know its bull, why are you quoting it?

Let me give you a hint, the Daily Mail is more National Inquirer than the Washington Post. Tabloid stories are seldom actually true.
Out of your list a little more research would have shown that you are about 80% incorrect.
Christ, this is little kids, they never did WW2 or the victorians anyway. Just like the comment on the story says, you draw pictures of vikings and romans at that age, you don't study the damm Potsdam Conference!

"You must be a big fan of the total banning of guns in the UK"
Guns were never banned in the uk, "Score 5, Informative" I think clueless would be better.
" After Great Britain banned most guns in 1997,"
Nope, most guns in the uk were and still are shotguns, and are stil legal where needed. Handguns were very seldom held by anyone.

I wonder if that really is all subscribers, or all *american* subscribers?

The wording is so slack you will never see a single conviction for this offence.
Knee-Jerk laws only exist to win votes.
Didn't the early ipods have no queue list function? Perhaps its this they are talking about.

Am I missing something here, they only sue people with lots of money??

(Hey, anything to keep my tivo running!)
and for those in every other part of the world....did anyone cap this?
Yes, GPS units already uses other systems to improve accuracy.
See here http://www.garmin.com/aboutGPS/waas.html
You seem to have missed out the part about improving accuracy and reliability.
I couldn't give a monkey about the politics, but anything that improves the signal makes me happy.

This was never really going to happen, it was only a suggestion thrown around.
Really what kind of slashdot story is "not on the passport, but on another card"?
