You can buy milk thistle in various forms in health foods shops in UK and have been able to do so for *decades*. If there was a problem with this unregulated remedy (hint: there isn't) it would have been discovered by now.
Don't know why you're babbling about homeopathy. Aspirin isn't homeopathic. Never has been. Neither is milk thistle.
The only time I've been contacted about a potentially fraudulent transaction was when I was actually making the transaction in question at an electronics store. I never got contacted about the truly fraudulent ones when my chip & pin card was skimmed...
And consumers are responsible for any erroneous payments if the vendors *have* opted in. It's far easier to shoulder surf and pick pocket than to forge a signature. Meanwhile, the charges to the vendor don't reduce even though the security (and therefore cost of maintaining that infrastructure) of the payment is no longer the problem of the card issuer...
You really think nationality is a factor to those who would consider and condone this? Aww, you're adorable. And jingoistic as I'm not a US citizen.
It's *unfortunate* that people like me don't make these decisions, because we aren't war-mongering, power crazy scum who would agree to this. They threatened to shoot down a diplomatic aircraft (with non-US citizens on it, natch, don't want to muddy the waters that much just yet) over foreign soil / international waters, depending on where it was at the time, when they weren't even sure a particular US citizen was even on board. They didn't care about anything that rational people would find wrong about any of that. Not one iota of a fuck was given.
But just imagine the uproar if a different country had threatened this to a US diplomatic aircraft. How dare they?! Only *we* are allowed to do things like this! We even made it legal and stuff, see? We need to deal with these folks, they're obviously terrorists. Yes, even the children. Kill 'em all.
The fun part being that once your data is on this access-for-all database it isn't yours anymore and thus you have no say in how it is doled out to all and sundry. There can't be a privacy violation if the new data owner (whichever dolt is Secretary of State for health at the time) allows it.
It's not only the police, but also a nebulous group of "government bodies" which can easily be added to like councils, the Forestry Commission, quango charities and anybody else who has absolutely no reason or justification to see confidential medical records apart from that they want to.
I use classic on my phone. Why? Because mobile sucks as far as I'm concerned. Is beta a variant of mobile? Don't know, never tried it, but from the thousands of "fuck beta" posts I don't want to.
My Lorus kinetic watch (bought 15 years ago for the princely sum of £20 so hardly prestigious) has a battery that will last 9 months if kept motionless. The problem is it doesn't have the juice to power a smartwatch. The advantage is it doesn't need to...
What if (speculating, don't even know if it could possibly work) the entire screen had solar cells behind it? Can light pass through the display if it isn't blocked by an active pixel (in other words, can inactive pixels be transparent)?
And for all the extra data obtained for the Madeleine McCann case they have got precisely nowhere. Identifying suspects who turn out to be exonerated is the same as not having identified them in the first place.
We'll stay with the stupid because it is that which he is using to justify the law he wants introduced. For example, he cites Sherlock as a use of metadata to solve crimes. The problem with that is that no metadata was ever used by Sherlock. So either he didn't watch it and just assumed or didn't pay attention and just assumed. So not only is he using fiction to try and alter reality, he used the wrong fiction and expects blind obedience to his latest idiotic wheeze.
At this point it doesn't matter what the proposed law might be. "It started off badly but turned out alright in the end" is no way to enact legislation.
The real problem is that the government has *not* done this. Instead, they have threatened the ISPs that they *will* if it isn't done voluntarily. And all thanks to one shrill unelected bitch on a committee who got some reason has a direct line to Cameron. The "support of millions" is from the hypocritical mouth breathers at the Daily Fail and the cretins who read it.
In UK if you are unemployed / don't make enough to pay contributions / receiving state pension the state pays it for you. Even the cost of the prescription a doctor writes is waived in many cases. So it is possible to receive truly free healthcare.
Unless it is a proscribed by law item like a weapon in a court I can bring any item of technology into anywhere that I want. It is the *use* of said item that can be illegal (like making a screener) not the mere physical presence.
In any case this seems to be more he wanted to test what would happen. If nothing, then he got to enjoy the film and no one would care. He got his rights violated instead which makes it news worthy.
Best part being his Glass *was* prescription. So not only is he guilty of pointing his face at a screen, he also is guilty of wanting to be able to discern what he is looking at. Presumably that costs more than the standard $15 he paid...

They do now. It's called contactless payment and is included on all new cards in UK unless you specify otherwise.

*That's* the kind of shithead you're defending.
There's no such thing as "innocent people". Just "collateral damage within accepted limits".
So not some manager's girlfriend's name spelled backwards then.

Apart from primitives, everything already *is* an object. And for the primitives, there's an object wrapper for each one...

Why should we be interested in what you have to say if you preface it with "I'm a teapot"?

One place where techies earn a lot less than $100k / year is the UK. Not a country you'd associate with little money...
There's been lots of tits on show well before the watershed. All this week BBC 2 has been showing not only pictures but video as well!
Arsenal had a problem getting past the filter as well leaving a lot of gooners confused...

Hence the old saw "heat a fever". Basically, kill the little bastards by boiling them in your own body juices.
Of course, that doesn't work for all fevers...
