Or considered that the so-called "source of truth" could have been compromised either maliciously or accidentally by erroneous input.
For example: my birthday on Skype is UNIX epoch date. I did that deliberately as it's none of Microsoft's business when it really is. However, my passport has an incorrect birth date because some numpty transcribed it from my birth certificate incorrectly and they want me to pay full price for a new one for their fuckup.
I like how all the posts that say iTunes was an unmitigated pile of dogshit, particularly on Windows, get modded down, especially as Apple Music is now acting the same way. I witnessed iTunes completely trashing people's collections on multiple occasions. At first I was sympathetic (I've lost collections due to hardware failure). Now I don't care that people continue to use it and get burned despite all the evidence that, given a chance, it will fuck them over.
So I guess the opinion of those who think that white cops murdered black civilians doesn't matter because the courts said they didn't. Or the opinion of the Chagos people who were evicted from their island home only they weren't because the courts said so.
Your faith in an infallible legal system is disturbing. Even popes (for whom infallibility is a job description) don't get that blind obeisance.
Except you could only tell when the TV was switched on, irrespective of what (if anything) was being received. Plus the handheld wasn't directional to any degree of certainty unless you were using it near a house in the middle of nowhere, making it particularly useless for a block of flats. Which is why those weren't used either. They just said they did.
They don't even do that. There have been three vans in all history with TV Detector Van written on the side. None had any equipment in them, so couldn't detect anything and all but one were repurposed / sold / scrapped years ago (the one that remains is a relic / curio). People "remember" seeing them everywhere because they saw them on national TV (BBC News) and the one time that there was footage of an open one it contained random studio equipment that would normally have been in storage.
TL;DR Propaganda campaign. It was an effective one. So effective it entered pop culture as a subplot in an episode of The Young Ones in 1983.
When I joined/. all those eons ago (after lurking for years) it asked me for a username for login. As my university username was just an encoded course and student number (that, incidentally, was a bitch to remember) I saw no reason to put my real name in that box when a short name I didn't mind being referred to as existed. Same thing with IRC, although I used a different one (and the nature of IRC demands a nick - it's when called that - of 9 chars or less, which my real name wouldn't fit into). In any case, these names are something I choose to be referred by, because I can call myself anything I want.
For "official" purposes, like paying tax, those that need it have my "official" name. Everybody else gets to call me what I want because they aren't the arbiters of my identity.
You posted as AC, hypocrite. I have always posted under a specific name, meaning there is a verifiable trail.
It would take so much effort to hunt seagulls to extinction that out wouldn't be worth it. At least around here. So, instead, the gulls will flourish on all the tasty rotten human corpses to become the next dominant race.
ISTR a few years ago some other school tried this (for similar reasons: the kids won't get beat up for their lunch money if they aren't carrying any, "ease of use", blah blah). The parents told them to fuck off and spend the money on important shit like textbooks and classroom supplies.
It's more than that. BA allows *two* bags. So you can have your larger-than-Ryanair-allows bag *and* a laptop. Or handbag (yes, that's right ladies, to have to put your handbag *inside* your carry-on if you fly with Ryanair or EasyJet). Or camera bag.
However, Ryanair allows you to have loads of bags filled with clanking duty free. But then so does everybody else.
Except a) it's not their rules and b) this is to (ostensibly) flag up known criminals, not those who actually commit crimes at the festival. That you might have been done for nicking phones in the past does not equate you going to a music festival with the intent to continue to do so. But, hey, fuck you forever if you have a criminal record, right? Want a job? Fuck you. Want a loan? Fuck you. Want to go to a music festival? Definitely fuck you.
If it is a registered business anywhere in EU (and usually EEA as well) then it most definitely has to comply. Last I checked, Santander Brazil wasn't a EU registered business.

"Pour encourager les autres" is being punitive for punitive's sake. It also doesn't work, or there'd be a lot less convicts on Death Row.
There's also Hacker Team doing this, but as they are employed by governments apparently that's just fine and dandy.

Currently that redirects to a different site. Not surprising as no one with any knowledge of dotcom crashes would willingly be associated with boo.com

In old IE it throws an error.

Yeah! Spoil your ballot paper, that'll teach them!
Simply putting three characters in every post means nothing, as any AC could do the same pretending to be you. Like I care, or it matters.

At least it will have the funkiest theme in sci-fi to see it off

You get more mileage from a cheap pair of speakers.
The airlines do it. So do ISPs. Why should the music business be any different?
I'm pretty sure Norman Cook has a few bob. As does Pete Tong, Danny Rampling and Paul Oakenfold.
Does deadmau5 count?
I prefer a nicely shaven... leg
