Cite please. I'm aware of a couple of cases where gambling site owners were arrested on a visit to the US (it may have even been transit), but not of any extraditions for activities that are not illegal under UK law also.

There is not much you can do about it short of either changing your password or disabling voicemail or the carriers could inconvenience their customers by not allowing voicemail from other phone numbers (if that is at all possible)
I'm pretty sure that Vodafone won't allow access from other phone numbers until you change your password from the default. I'm surprised that isn't the norm with all the privacy legislation in the UK these days.
I was thinking of pointing out that camera phones have probably helped DSLR sales, as the compromise between small and good quality is swayed by the fact that you can always use your phone when you need portability.

It's a problem because it will be used for search engine spamming, with the result that free speech such as we're seeing out of Iran that makes use of Twitter to spread itself gets lowered search rankings by association when the search engines react to the new source of spam.
I'm a bit pissed about this. When I registered my details as a pre-requisite for a transit flight through the US en route to Canada a few months ago, I'm pretty sure the website I registered on was a.gov, and there was no indication that this data would be held by a private, for profit company and would be up for sale shortly.
I am currently living in Japan, so I have an ID that has my identity, and I am required to carry that (or my passport) on my person at all times. This means that if a police officer stops me, they can require my producing identification documents.
Only in the course of their duties. Japanese police cannot stop you for the purpose of checking your ID, but if you are a foreigner over the age of 18, then you are required to carry it at all times and show it to police if they have another legitimate cause for stopping you.
Secondly, he also states that global temperatures have fallen for the last 11 years.
Statements like this are very suspicious, and I would consider it evidence that he is manipulating the statistics that he presents to push a point of view. Why 11 years? Usually in cases where you see statements like this it is because the 11 year point was a local maximum, and if you look at the last 10 years or the last 12 years the figures tell a different story. But if he was being scientific, he wouldn't be looking at such short term trends anyway, as they are dominated by the normal year to year fluctuations in temperature.
To be fair, banks are required by law to detect suspicious transactions and report them to the government. AT&T isn't. If it wasn't for the law, I'm not sure that American Express would be so careful, as long as they knew they could claw back the money from you or the retailer somehow.
Sometimes the parents are the problem. Calling them in may result on an assault on a member of staff, or on the child and the situation is made even worse. So sometimes it is appropriate to call the police.
Blueray has piracy, at least in South East Asia, where there are malls full of shops selling Bluerays with the best covers a 10 year old color photocopier can provide, for the same price as 3 DVDs that aren't even out in the cinema yet (ie about $8).
Writing this is hurting me. I really, really hate Windows CE (or Windows Mobile or whatever they call it these days.)
It is Windows CE they are talking about here, the default shell is Windows Explorer from the days before IE integration. Windows Mobile is Microsoft's equivalent of Android - a limited inflexible UI designed for smartphones that sits on top of a flexible OS (Linux in the case of Android). The statement from Nvidia is pure FUD, comparing apples and oranges, I wonder how much they were paid to say it.
You can just as easily turn this around by comparing Linux on ARM based netbooks with Windows Mobile with its inflexible UI and limited display resolution.
No, that is Gulf Capital Partners, Inc, of Houston. There is also a Gulf Capital, of London, but they are a consultancy firm specialising in Iraq and other emerging markets in the Middle East. So my guess is that this is a new company formed specifically for this transaction, perhaps taking advantage of the other similarly named companies as a smokescreen to give this transaction the credibility it needs to buy a delay in the bankruptcy proceedings. Unfortunately the UK government have decided that their company register only needs to be available from 7am to midnight UK time (WTF? Are they using Mechanical Turk on the backend or something?), so I can't confirm any of this.

Great, apparently I live under a motorway junction about 10 miles away. Thanks Google, you just made me homeless!

Phones will replace purpose made GPS devices just like they replaced purpose made cameras before. ...oh wait.
Congratulations, scientists now have the evidence to show that the result of combining Sun, Telescope and Remaining Eye is a two year recovery period.
How could you leave Cowboy Neal out of any survey connected with Slashdot?
Its taken as a given that Microsoft will be supporting only wmv in their version of HTML5.

I'd imagine the fact that Nokia now owns it might have something to do with this move.
Ah right. I didn't realize there was a special program for domestic terrorists to preregister as well.

RMS used to say the same about Java. But now Sun's reference JVM is released under a free license, so things are very different compared to C#/.NET.

The fact that Switzerland is covered in mountain ranges seems to suggest otherwise too.
Dav On counts as web programming now?

Yes, divide that by the number of sales per annum, and you'll quickly see that SCO has infinite value.
