Don't worry, the UK government has strong-armed, scared and bullied the EU into traffic data retention legislation.
That EU regulation is now used as an 'excuse' by the same British government to tell the ISP's and Telco's to retain the data.
As usual the tabloids will blame Europe.
The EU regulation does only specify some minimum requirements like 6 months retention but the UK government will no doubt go for the maximum of 24 months, that was the minimum they wanted of Europe with unlimited as an option.
I feel you are so deluded that your question is serious.
First Northern Ireland, a majority of the population wants the be part of the UK a plebiscite could be held and nothing changes.
Second, why in the world would you think evicting British Muslims would stop religious fanatics to continue spreading their terror in Europe (yes the UK is part of Europe)?
With such a thought pattern I'm surprised you managed to log on.
Indeed offshore, as European commerce laws have already been abused to close sites in The Netherlands based on German dislikes: http://www.spaink.net/english/osce_internetfreedom.html
This particular issue started around 1996 and was in (Dutch) court in 2002.
Personally I don't particularly like the gang that published the magazine 'Radikal' but I'm more worried about the ways it was prosecuted here in The Netherlands.
Yet I can see reasons for incidental filtering, it needs to be transparent yet when you for obvious reasons can't publicise the list of blocked IP's there needs to be a system in place to oversee this list. One option acceptable to me would be like the Dutch Parliamentary commission 'Stiekem' (Sneaky) that oversees the secret services. And there needs to be an address to contact for quick remedying in case of errors.
Parents do have a duty while parenting but treating your kids as idiots is not the way, they will only grow up to whole adults when they get the chance to hurt themselves and you are there to help them to recover.
Parents that claim porn or this LGBT stuff are going to cause (unrecoverable) damage to their kids only prove how bad their own education was.
The article is not clear about what was at the root of the problem but I suppose it was MS giving special or preferential treatment to a single retailer, thus meddling in the free market.
However much wrongdoing can be attributed to followers of various faiths, using the description of 'religion' in the same sentence as Scientology is an insult to the various religions.
As this site can testify the evil of Scientology is in a class of it's own.
Every time I bought a new system I've converted my old data to the new one, from tapes to floppies, from Winchester drives to tapes and via ZIP disks and CD's eventually all on hard disks.
When you do it before the old tech goes out to the recycler it is easy.
In present terms the volume is nothing, the Winchester drives held 2 MB and the tapes were 10-20 MB.
The biggest problem is proprietary formats of the data, not the carriers.
Please don't mix the UK with 'most of Europe', like over here in The Netherlands nearly all plans, cable or DSL, are only capped by the maximum speed your plan allows.
And anyone who offers an unlimited service is either deluded or a liar.
I don't think the reputable Dutch provider xs4all can be called deluded or a liar because they changed their previous Fair Use plan to an Unlimited one.
After all for a (monthly) plan with a given speed cap you automatically get a maximum download during that month. And you can find much cheaper providers with real Unlimited plans.

Very insightful.

Maybe that's what RMS is hiding in his beard...
In most places I know it's only the making available, the uploading, that's a legal problem.
Now we know what this Win7 is meant for.
Beautiful and a superior layout but slow running like treacle.
I highly recommend wicd. It works, it doesn't auto-connect to wired networks (I sometimes wish that were a checkbox option though)
Such a check box is on the front page, right on top when you unfold the properties of a particular network.
I'm sure there are many people out there who would prefer that their OS gave them free beer and hookers instead of free speech.
Here's the option you're thinking of:

The hang over and viruses are included
Or did you take this as a statement of fact?

Now they have a cushy new job in the DOJ they have a different paymaster and can switch allegiance.
Or are you claiming criminals are represented by criminals?
In that case you are deluded.

Treating a company different because they are not from your country is so last century, it didn't work then and it won't work now.
Your suggestion would only end in an economic war where all would suffer.

But the question at hand is does being ethical keep you out of jail?
In places where the spirit of the law is considered you'd likely not land in jail for this example.

It's similar in Europe once outside of your own country, you pay the international part of the call.
So what, Microsoft owns over 200 patents that Linux infringes upon, running unwanted scripts is just another of the same.
Idiots like him are the reason viruses exist.
Stop right there! You are infringing on a Microsoft technology.
