Also, did these folks make the requirement known to the seller at the time of sale? Pretty doubtful.
I can't speak for the rest of the EU, but in the UK if a product is advertised as performing a certain function (in this case, allowing the installation of another OS), there's an explicit contract that it will do so. The buyer is under no obligation to make the vendor aware of their desire to make use of that function. If the product does not function as advertised, then the vendor has an obligation to refund or replace.
We have passed a law about the same. But there's so few Police on patrol the law just isn't being enforced
Not to mention the fact that most senior police officers thought such a law was a bad idea - not because being on the phone while driving is safe (it isn't), but because it was already covered by the existing offence of driving without due care and attention.
All I can say is that it does here with a Blackberry for the most part
So for you, data renders SMS redundant for the most part - not the whole part. So it doesn't actually make SMS redundant even for you. And that's without taking into account all the people who aren't you.
Every once in a blue moon I will pay 15c to receive one.
I don't pay to receive SMS (except when I'm overseas) - nor do the vast majority of the people I'm likely to send them to.
When I had SMS I never ran into 1 email address that I couldn't send to. Not one.
I don't doubt it - but that's hardly germane. I'm not talking about sending SMS to email addresses; I'm talking about sending messages to cellphones that don't have email functionality. I have plenty of contacts that I can't send SMS to via Google's gateway (indeed, as far as I can tell, you can't SMS me via GMail.)
you can usually use those gateways already provided by the phone companies themselves.
Not all phone companies provide them - and certainly not to all subscribers. But it doesn't matter, since I can send an SMS right from my phone straight to somebody else's phone - so that problem's solved.
I have been emailing from a computer to phone users like this for years.
Let me guess - all those phone users live in the same continent as you?
I'm aware of the GooglemailSMS gateway - which means I'm also aware of its limitations.
It doesn't cover all networks; it doesn't cover all geographic regions.
I know people who have cellphones which I can reach with SMS, but can't reach via google's gateway. Therefore, having a data plan does NOT render SMS redundant.

That would be a fair comment, except it wasn't when mine was built (but you could hardly be expected to know that;)
Since you're clearly trying to get picky about this, with all your talk of countries, principalities and territories then you may want to get it straight that Northern Ireland is NOT, in fact, part of Britain - but IS part of the United Kingdom.
Why is the defendent so clueless about his own case? This isn't a matter of something interesting becoming drab, it's a matter of whether Canada chooses to exclude itself from the civilized world.
I haven't RTFA (this is slashdot) - but it strikes me that it's the plaintiff (and not the defendant) - that's clueless. This is confirmed by the fact that he doesn't like people saying nasty things about him - but went into politics anyway.

Think harder - one obvious application for a drive like this is as a (relatively) inexpensive online backup for a home NAS.
"If debugging is the process of removing bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in,"
Debugging is the process of replacing one known bug with 10 unknown bugs.
And lawsuits. And the free publicity they create.

FTFY... (in the sense of making it accurate) - not all of Europe uses l/100k.
Does that mean that this statement is wrong, or does it mean the police have something to hide?
No; it means that "this statement is wrong and that the police have something to hide.
(and somewhat Linux like).
But let me guess - it's even more BSD like?

That won't help much; all they'll do is criminalise being a failed star.
That's worth a +1 Insightful if ever a post was...

Fortunately, it's 10 light years away - so even if it were heading for us, by the time it gets here everyone who's reading this will be long gone.
would our system's outer members and Proxima's outer members intermingle? IIRC, the Oort cloud objects aren't necessarily on the plane on the system.
Intermingling of members? That sounds like gay porn on a galactic scale!

Yes, it's called Lynx
On July 16, 1969 Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin A. "Buzz" Aldrin landed on the moon.
Michael Collins didn't.
In the interests of making this post's parent more relevant to this post's GP, I'll point out that I live in the UK
You mean like the back seat of a Volkswagen?
I drive a Bentley, but otherwise yes.

why do you need to use SMS if you have a data plan? With that you have email, duh.
Because I know people who have cellphones which don't have email clients? duh.
Not to mention that non-3G iPads are NOT equipped with GPS (as the review clearly states).
The author of this post clearly does not have an even basic understanding of reading.

Did you not notice the (fairly) hot "companion"? She's intended to appeal to dads, so that they kids will watch...
