I'm from the UK and I have to agree. While the UK is somewhat less gung-ho, so far I've not heard any calls for Assange's execution from politicians, the slip-sliding away of basic rights here is nearly as bad as in the US. Not quite mind, we don't have a Guantamo Bay yet as far as I'm aware. Our rights to privacy on the other hand are being destroyed.
Aside from the jingoism in his post though I think the basic point that Assange's case in the UK will be dealt with pretty much to the letter of the law is likely to be true. In something this high profile there would be a huge stink if it looked like the police or judiciary had cut any corners.
It doesn't seem likely that the original charges were engineered (though they do seem bogus). However, that they were dropped by the prosecutors originally as having no merit but then re-instated later, allegedly at the behest of a politician, and that Interpol issued a red notice for something that they normally wouldn't, it all looks a bit fishy.
Yeah I agree. Originally Isaid "This reminds me of the statistics the UK government used to sell the smoking ban. Except in reverse." but the Android browser *hates*/. and I lost my post once.;/
There are lots of grounds for a smoking ban, and I personally support it despite being a smoker. What annoys me is the misleading grounds on which it was sold to the public.
I haven't played for something like 2 years now, but at that attacking someone in time high-sec space meant you were destroyed within seconds.
There was a way around it though. A gang in small cheap ships could kill you. They would lose their small cheap ships, though they wouldn't care, then accomplices could scoop your drop without fear of attack from NPCs. I don't think it was terribly common though.
This reminds me of the statistics the UK government used to sell the smoking ban. They said that passive smoking caused a 20% increase in the risk of lung cancer. Which is true. What they didn't mention was that for a non-smoker the risk is about 1 in 1000. So a passive smoker (living with a 40 a day smoker for 20 years) has their risk of lung cancer increase from around 1 in 1000 to around 1.2 in 1000. Obviously this plays off the understanding that a regular smoker has an enormously higher risk (I forget the exact amount but it's higher that 1 in 10 I believe).
I think you should still have a look as Sphinx and Lucene. You can put whatever data you want into them, in whatever schema you want (at least with Lucene, I believe with Sphinx too). You can then easily create a UI as a front end and let the indexing engine do the hard work of slicing and dicing by your criteria. I believe the Zend Framework library has a Lucene API.
Also if you do manage to go fulltext later then it'll mean less work.
250 movies isn't exactly a debilitating habit over a long enough period and it's easily enough to fill 2TB of storage. I've just had to buy another disk because I filled 1.5TB.
That doesn't matter. You *need* a license to legally use h.264 commercially in the US. The fact you haven't agreed to one doesn't negate the need for one. By purchasing the camera they grant you a license to use it non-commercially. If you want a license to use it commercially you need to go and get one.
Yeah the Pixel Qi screens look perfect for what I want (always on browser for quickly looking stuff up in the living room and e-book reader). The Adam looks like a nice implementation too. Hoping it works out well and isn't too pricey.

Maybe it wasn't meant to be C?

The release numbers are "year.month".
Oh come on, it's the default behaviour so most installs are going to be affected.

As does the kernel flaw. A compromised or deliberately malevolent app will suffice in either case.
Privilege escalation by any non-privileged GUI app you say? No they'd just say it's not a bug and that they have no intention of fixing it.

I was with you up until EVE. I love the fact that death actually has consequences in EVE.

What about their repeated blocking of non iOS devices from talking to iTunes?
Nokia have said it won't be porting Meego to the N900. The community probably will but that can take time and end up imperfect.
Nokia actually have quite a bad record of supporting their Nx00 devices once they release a new one.
Have you ever noticed that the group of people most obsessed with the importance of acting like a grown up are children?

Doesn't necessarily cover all open source but it's basically what you're talking about in the first part of your post.

You know that people are going to have to start paying for licenses for h.264 once the current grace period ends right?

My only concern with the prs-300 is it looks a bit small, don't you end up losing flow a bit from the extra page turning?
Because it's funny.
