If you are stupid enough to give a your kid a Kindle Fire linked to a credit card then that is your stupid fault.
Both my nieces have Kindle Fires and firstly in app purchasing is turned off and secondly the only credit they have is from Amazon gift vouchers or free Amazon coins from various random give aways. There is zero requirement to link a credit card to a Kindle Fire to make purchases.
The biggest moan that we have is with the BBC iPlayer app. If you turn on parental controls you have to approve every video they watch. What you want is to have to approve everything that would have been on after the 9pm watershed or for really young children anything not on CBeebies.
As far as child friendly tablets go the Kindle Fire is the best, my moans from my nieces when my brother activated the Kindle Freetime tell you that.
Requiring the removal of incorrect data anywhere is perfectly reasonable. The problem is that now links to 100% factually correct data has to be removed if the person involved no longer likes it.
Except the vast majority of British Conservatives regard America Republicans as slightly loony extreme right wing. They have far more in common with the Democrats which goes to show how right wing American politics is.
Then all Aereo need to do is statically assign aerials to individual customers. Sure it will put their costs up a bit but it would side step the current judgement.
Personally I think they where daft thinking they could get away with dynamically assigning the aerials and had always presumed that you got your own personal aerial.
And the USA catches up with where Europe was a decade ago, all because GWB Jr. considered federally mandated energy efficiency standards as unAmerican.
Wrong. It is 1600km for the battery fitted to the car in question, it is 3000km for 100kg of battery. They did not specify the size of battery fitted to the car that had it's range extended by 1600km but a bit of mathematics suggests around 54kg. Your reading comprehension is really rather poor.
Just to be picky the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland did not come into being till 1801. For the period 1707 to 1801 it was just Great Britain, there was no "United Kingdom".
No Queen Elizabeth I put lead-based white paint on her face because she was horribly disfigured by smallpox in 1563. Either you are not English or are woefully ignorant of our history.
That would be the elected government that turned out to be a bunch of corrupt pigs with their snouts in the trough. Just because you where democratically elected does not give you immunity to being overthrown if you turn out to be rotten eggs. Remember Hitler and the Nazi's where democratically elected.
No vaccine is 100% effective against protecting from a particular disease. As such people who choose not to be vaccinated for none genuine medical reasons are by definition sociopaths and can stay the hell away from me.
You need temporary classrooms because something is going on in the school that puts existing permanent classrooms out of action for a "short" period. That might be for example refurbishment of an existing classrooms or even something far more dramatic such as a fire. In these scenarios the construction of permanent classrooms would be stupid.

I have not noticed date of birth being in the phone book. It actually bothers me that companies such as eBay think that they need or should even ask for a date of birth. All they need to know is that I am over 18, then piss off with the intrusive data gathering.
Two things. Firstly a collision with a pedestrian at 30mph rather than 25mph has a huge increase in fatalities. Secondly at least here in the U.K. the physical road structures are designed around a maximum speed of 70mph. Do 100mph and those crash barriers will no longer stop a car crossing the central reservation for example. So without billions of investment in upgrading all that infrastructure it is simply not safe to do 100mph.
A third none safety factor is that road carrying capacity drops dramatically if everyone is doing 100mph.
Another none safety related element is that fuel consumption and pollution will rise dramatically if everyone is doing 100mph. Heck if I have time to spare I will drop back from 70mph to 60mph and save the money.
Did nobody read the Treaty of Rome? The very first sentence is
DETERMINED to lay the foundations of an ever-closer union among the peoples of Europe,
The point is that you cannot have a common market without common rules, which by definition necessitates that we devolve some of our laws to being made in common with other members of the club.
From a U.K. perspective the only real issue was the failure of the last government to introduce transitional rules on movement of people for the 2004 entrants.
That because they use a projection where you can draw straight lines on the map and use it for navigation. Yes this distorts sizes but lets be honest here the reason for the popularity of the Mercator projection is that maps are mostly used for navigation.
If you want to get a real feel for what the world looks like get a globe. I hear they are popular presents for children.
People walk on hot coals that are an order of magnitude hotter than that without even a minor burn.
When I first heard of the case many years ago I was surprised because to my mind I was drinking tea at least as hot as that every day. So I actually did an experiment and actually made a cup of tea, warmed the pot, used tea cosy and everything, then measured the temperature. It was just north of 90 degrees and I then proceeded to drink it, without suffering any injury. If you make a hot chocolate with instant powder and a freshly boiled kettle it will be hotter still.
Sure you sip at to begin with, but you don't suffer burns because the small amount you sip has insufficient thermal mass to inflict a burn on the mucus lining of your mouth, and rapidly cools down.
I could in fact pour a cup of coffee at 88 degrees over my hand without suffering significant injury as well for the same reason. It is physics of how you can walk on red hot coals that are more like 800 degrees than 80 degrees and still not get a burn.
What did it did it for the moronic twit who sued MacDonalds is that she spilt a significant quantity on her clothes in a small aread and it remained in contact with the same area for a significant period of time. Personally had I been the defence lawyer for MacDonalds I would have done a demonstration in court of drinking a hotter cup of coffee, and killed the case right there.
As they say experimental evidence trumps *EVERYTHING*. One day when I have time I will do a video and stick it on YouTube just to demonstrate my point.
I drink tea *EVERY* single day of my life that is hotter than that coffee was served. If you gave me a cup of tea at the temperature the coffee was served I would return it as not hot enough. Clearly the coffee was not served at an insane temperature.
And those patents, or more specifically the single patent about the unaligned load and store instructions on MIPS expired years ago. To be specific it expired in December 2006.
So while the patent was an issue back in ~200 when OpenRISC was launched it is no longer relevant, and you would be better off implementing a MIPS32 and MIPS64 bit core.
I would also point out that there are full open source implementations of the SPARC architecture, which never suffered from the patent problems of MIPS.
As you say the idea that banks and other financial institutions are doing credit checks by doing internet searches is laughable. The guy got into financial difficulties, this went into his credit reference, it will likely stay there for ever as it is relevant information.
The question then has to be how does the fact that Mr Gonzalez put his house up for auction which is factually correct information actually harm him? You can put property on the market for a million reasons all of which are perfectly legitimate, so what's the problem?
Now had the information been inaccurate, in some way factually wrong or gathered using illegal means then it should be removed.
The stupid thing is now everyone will for ever know that Mr Gonzalez had financial problems. Or perhaps the court thinks that this ruling should be redacted...
Potentially zero. Most aluminium is smelted using hydroelectric. There will most likely be carbon used in the mining of the ores etc. but the actual smelting, very little.
And I have a NFC tag that when I drop the phone in the holder, automatically makes sure the Bluetooth is on and the volume is set to max, and the WiFi hotspot is enabled. When removed from the holder the WiFi hotspot is automatically turned off.

How does that square with my MHL capable Xperia Z1 compact? From what I can make out according to my TV video playback jumps to full HD...
Even better my bank also offers DRM free CSV files which I can import into anything I like.
