Unless those terms are prominently displayed on every page (not just tucked away behind a link no one visits) then contract law in UK clearly states that this is an unenforceable extension to the contract as the terms were not made available at the time of accepting it (navigating to a page on the site; i.e. *before* you've even loaded the site)
Not that a Terms of Service page on a web site is a contract in the first place in UK...
You guys are missing the point. He is in a position to allow people to pay to live out fantasies ("Boss, de plane! De plane!") and then mercilessly hunt them afterwards.
It's not like they weren't warned. Standard support for XP ended in 2009, and Micosoft generously allowed *five fucking years* for extended support (and *seven* for XP embedded). Not going to allow a different browser after all this time? Don't care any more.
The fact that the operating system is going to be obsolete RSN is of more concern. Planning for the replacement should have started years ago, and if some exploit is found that leaks all your data / takes down the network then that's just too bad. You're on your own. You won't get any sympathy from anyone.
It's odd that I never heard Obama being described as "one of the foremost experts in Constitutional law" *before* all the violations of recent years since he's been President. Of all people you would have thought that someone with the power of veto and such insight might have exercised it...
But what do I know. I'm watching this from the UK, where we don't even have a constitution.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
I considered the Slider to be an experiment by ASUS based on the popularity of the original Transformer. It tested whether the G1 / 2 (also really popular) form factor would work at a larger scale. It didn't.
Wikipedia is wrong. Consider someone using the Internet to only view live broadcasts from outside UK. These aren't terrestrial (read: home grown, like OTA channels / Sky [but that's only because Sky carries the terrestrial channels unencrypted as well]). They don't need a licence unless they are using a TV to view the content *and its own reception ability has not been disabled*.
Linking is not (yet) illegal in UK, no matter what these tosspots say. Also, they are misrepresenting themselves as those in a position of authority. So, in response, I suggest the reply given in Arkell v. Pressdram.
The plot of the movie was that the Master had run out of regenerations and wanted to steal the Doctor's remaining (4 presumably) ones. So it isn't impossible.

Nope, it's locked to prefer the internal connections. Those freeloading get slowed (to nothing if necessary).
My walls don't let the signal out more than about a fathom from my house so it's a win-win for me...

In addition there is QoS running so the internal network NIC has priority over the open one.

I'd bet secretly you'd love to do the same.
He just needs an amusingly short French manservant. That way he can be both Ricardo Montalban AND Scaramanga.

I like how he got less than someone who *doesn't* sell what they pirate can get. There's a lesson there...
Um, Blade Runner units *are* cops.
Max was a cop before the whole "kill my family in front of me and cripple my leg" incident.
Both Deckard and Rockatanski were upholding the law and were granted the use of weaponry to accomplish that.
Not sure what point your examples are trying to prove.
No, but that makes the cops' job easier. Got a gun? Criminal. Simples.
There's a difference?

And then some false flag gets tripped and suddenly you're a public enemy. Because computers are never wrong. Especially theirs.
Makes no difference to server time. The problem was they decided to show user time in the first place.
And what do mean "keep"? I'm not repeating myself through the thread.

That took 10s.
EBay has shown "ebay time" according to their servers for years. It's not difficult.

Only if it is simulcast. You do not need to pay if you are watching previously broadcast programmes. Of TVL tell you otherwise they are lying.
Sounds about as safe as nailing cables into the ice walls on Hoth.
The cost of upgrading from XP would be used as a reason for not doing so; after all it costs £6k *right now* to not upgrade...

I wasn't going to mention an Arnie movie, but since you did, here's a piece of trivia: the club Sarah Connor takes refuge in is called "Tech Noir"...

Like the genocide committed to end the Time War?
