I call bullshit on that. If you are going to produce a DVD/BlueRay then you can turn the very same content into something suitable for Netflix for something close to zero cost. In fact I am sure that Netflix would happily employ someone to do the work for you using DVD's and BlueRays as the source material.
Given that almost all (we are talking like 99.99%+) new content ends up on DVD this is a facetious argument. Huge swathes of older content is also on DVD/BlueRay as well.
Optical fibre that needs repeaters every 20km are er rubbish. 10GbE transceivers good for 80km are available from multiple sources, and you can get 100GbE transceivers good for 80km as well though these are still a more specialist item.
The big problem with microwave is you can't cross oceans.
Probably not, but it would most likely be sufficient to get your bank to extend you an overdraft facility to cover any short term cash flow problems you might be experiencing.
Here in the U.K. mandatory recording of all police interviews has been required since 1984 (Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, section 60). I believe we have moved on from audio recordings to video now. If the recording is "lost" then the interview becomes inadmissible evidence if disputed.
It was the result of a series of high profile cases where it became apparent police officers should be no more trusted than suspects.
As a point of note that under PACE the case against OJ Simpson would have been thrown out in pretrial hearings, the evidence was all mishandled and thus inadmissible and there was no case to answer.
DMLS printing is not going to produce single crystal turbine blades, and is therefore not going to compete any time soon in that space. You might be able to print all the parts of a jet engine, but the result is not going to match the performance of one assembled from more conventional manufacturing processes. Even a 1% drop in efficiency of a jet engine is basically unacceptable in the airline industry these days.
Because theft has a strict legal definition that pre-dates the invention of copyright.; that is "the intention to permanently deprive someone of something physical". As such copyright infringement does not meet the legal definition of theft and calling it theft when discussing something legal is simply wrong.
Stupid car analogy, if I take your car without permission and go for a drive, then a week later return it, I will not be prosecuted for theft (well at least not in the U.K.) because I had no intention to permanently deprive you of the car. It is why the offence of "taking without out the owners permission" exists for these offences.
Took a few minutes to find because the case was not brought by the RCN, as the judgement has it down as the British Nursing Association (the appellants) and the Inland revenue's National minimum wage compliance team. At least I think this is the judgement being referred to because it certainly is the oldest one I can find that fits the description given. Anyway a link to the case in BAILII
Basically the BNA lost at the Employment Tribunal, the Employment Appeals Tribunal and the Court of Appeal with a unanimous decision.
The decision is pretty easy reading for the layman as well. Not sure why the OP seems to think it was between the RCN and London NHS, and does not bode well for the case he is constructing if they are a lawyer.
Actually in proper English, aka as spoken in England you would call it a bumper. A mudguard being something different, specifically a bit of rubber or plastic that hangs down behind the wheel arch to reduce road spray.
Hang on you said you don't get into accidents as a family, but your uncle was hit from behind while waiting at a red light. Er, the two statements don't match up.
The reality is that it is perfectly possible to be in an accident and be completely blameless, and with no way to avoid it.
Given the sorority was founded in 1913, it is perfectly possible that a member wrote this information down decades ago and this has then passed down to someone who is not bound by any NDA and person who wrote it down is now dead. Good luck suing a dead person.
It would also be tricky a member wrote this information down and then had it stolen from them, and the thief then published the information.
Rubbish, for example if you live in France you have no way of legally paying for BBC television programs and therefore no legal right of access to iPlayer. Get over it.
And people have been dying from drinking contaminated water for several thousand years as well.
From a UK perspective so much angst about contaminated water wells is odd, because practically nobody here has them, and frankly if it where a problem if/when fracky starts in the UK then a simply solution would be to put in proper mains water for the handful of properties effected.
Actually you are an uninformed twit who has never had measles and has no idea what the complications might be.
I had the Measles vaccination as a small child and was unlucky enough to come down with full blown measles the week before my final exams at University.
The disease itself is completely unpleasant and I had it pretty mild due to having at least some protection from the vaccine.
The lifelong medical side effects are frankly something I could do without.
The problem is YOU ARE NOT INFORMED and have no idea or comprehension as to what the REAL risks are and are consequently a selfish moron.
Yes, but in this particular case the some of the strains of whooping cough that are circulating now appear to have mutated away from those that the vaccine in common use protects against. As such the vaccine has work as described it just provides little to no protection against the circulating strains of whooping cough and out breaks have started occurring.
To put it another way vaccine resistant strains of whooping cough have developed/appeared.
The solution is to reformulate the whooping cough vaccine against the strains that are now circulating. Just upping the vaccination rate with the existing vaccine is an exercise in futility and a waste of resources and money.
When a seven year old child in response to the question "What do you want to be when you grow up", answers in all seriousness and without a hit of shame or wrongdoing "a burglar" you will understand that the child is unlikely to make good life choices. I would add that even if you attain great wealth breaking out of the destructive lifestyle formed when growing up is very hard. This is a famous alumni of the primary school in question.
It is more likely to be down to the input from the parents, or in the case of poverty lack of input. The basics are that poor parents are on average less well educated and don't have either the inclination or knowledge to give their children quality input especially in early years.
The is also a growing problem with the children of wealthy/educated parents who are too busy with their jobs to give their children the quality input they need to thrive.
Diet has very little or nothing to do with it. Any sensible early years teacher could tell you this in an instance. If you arrive at school knowing your letters, being able to count to 10, recognizing your name when written down, being able to hold a pencil properly etc. you have a massive head start in life and this can NEVER EVER be closed by anything the state can do in the educational system.
The reality is that the children of wealthier and/or better educated parents are more likely to turn up on their first day at school being able to do all those things. The cost of getting your child to be able to do these things is minimal and "poverty" in the western world is not a barrier to achieving it either.
Even when we get to school the attitude that the parents hold to the value of an education and behaviour of their children has a huge impact on the how well a child will perform throughout their school career.
Poverty is a symptom of low educational achievement on average and it breads low educational achievement on average. How you break the circle is difficult to know, but throwing money on diet and/or the educational system won't work and does not work.
Insightful but where is your source. Not that I am disputing your version of events, it is just there is little actual evidence to what precipitated the incident. All I have seen is there was no hot food and Jeremy then assaulted the producer both verbally and physically.
In addition to loosing the revenue the BBC would also have to massively beef up the iPlayer service at great expense to cope with the extra demand that would be placed on it. So a double wammy as they say.
I would also point out that selling the content in other territories around the world has been an importance source of revenue for the BBC for many decades. Without it the license fee would have to be much higher to support the content that is produced.
In effect the license fee payers in the United Kingdom only pay for part of the production of a program. As such giving the program away for free to those that did not contribute to it does in fact hurt.
Show me the obese Tour de France cyclist? These guys consume around 10,000 calories a day. The only and I repeat ONLY way these guys are not obese is because they are exercising. Sure this is an extreme example but the point is that even at 10,000 calories a day sufficient exercise will burn it all off, and myths about exercise and weight loss are proved false.
The exercising does nothing for weight loss is an excuse for lazy obese people not to exercise.
Basically confirmed what I always thought, 99.99% of obese people eat too much. Worse than that when asked to keep an accurate food diary of everything they eat, they don't. Diary typically says 2000 calories, they are actually eating 5000+ calories. The other people eat the same as me and are not over weight is total nonsense.

Right because a 4ms additional latency is going to make all the difference to exactly nobody but games and bottom feeding high frequency traders.

All this is like law 101 for crying out load.
I can record stuff broadcast from Freeview or Freesat in the U.K. No DRM on that :-)
