Depends when the tweet was posted. After, and you're in the clear. Before, and if you live in England or Wales, and you mentioned the superinjunction in a tweet too... then you are liable.
I hope that Gigg's lawyers don't manage to convince the judge that there should be a one-size fits all ruling/judgement against people who tweeted about Giggs before the MP broke the gagging aspect of the injunction. This wide-reaching injunction-happy judiciary may be prone to making sweeping punishment-happy rulings that can ruin people's lives more so than being a minor celebrity being caught up in a minor scandal published in low quality tabloids.
I live in Cheltenham, UK (a city of approximately 100,000) and my 5 year old flat block has over 150 units in it; but due to anti-competitive ISP consolidation (and very bad business decisions), companies haven't invested in modern internet infrastructure. I've seen my local exchange. It is a barely manageable mess of copper cables and dangling punch down blocks which isn't due an to upgrade to support ADSL2 for more than a year.
The fastest internet connection I can purchase is a mere 2.2mbps downstream/100 kbps upstream; I had faster internet access 20 years ago when I lived in Ottawa, Canada. Screw the villagers, put the money were the population is.
It may be that the UK has already rejected the idea; however, there is a large £300m pound fine against London for being the most polluted city in the UK. The fine, coupled with the potential congestion charge expansions, the result may still be no petrol cars in London in 39 years.
I've switched from Ubuntu to Apple. I look back every so often and think to myself, "Well, I'm glad I don't have to do/that/ anymore." Ubuntu is a great distro, and if you don't have the money to invest in the "Apple Experience", it is probably the best you can put on a PC. I will be installing Ubuntu on a webhost sometime soon, and I know I will be impressed. Although, when it comes to complete production desktops Apple they may monopolize your desktop on OS X but at least things always "just work." I haven't given up on Open Source, though. I could leave Gaim behind, so I found Adium. Inkscape and Gimp were already waiting for me. I couldn't have been happer when I switched.
If they didn't use the notwithstanding clause to appease those against gay marriage in Canada, there's no way they'll use the notwithstanding clause with a bill that would be rather unpopular across party lines. Besides, after Paul Martin pulled all the "notwithstanding clause" fear-mongering on C-38 with respects to the Conservative Party, there's no way he can do it now.
Canada's got a couple of things working against this proposed bill. First off, we're in a minority Government right now, and I can name two political parties which are used to hold the balance on a regular basis who would have nothing to do with such a horrid bill. Also, the bill wouldn't pass the House of Commons for a long while, considering how much stalling would happen in comittee. This is probably how all these horrid bills you see will be forgotten, we're on the verge of a federal election the moment the House of Commons returns from recess, and bills die on the floor if not passed before Parliament disolves.
Also, it would never survive a Charter challenge, especially since aspects of the bill allow police to intercept and read open email without a warrant. Mail in Canada, like in the US, is probably one of the most protected forms of communication. One would argue (I can't wait until Michael Geist (http://michaelgeist.ca/) gets his hands on this), that it clearly is in direct opposition to Canada's Charter of rights and Freedoms. Section 8 of the charter clearly states that "Everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure."
In short, boo to the Liberals for proposing such a piece of work, yay for the polical system of Canada working against it.
I remember playing around with a Juke-box type program on windows 3.1, sure it only played midi and wav files, but it used buttons and looked like a tape-deck/amp setup. If I seem to recall correctly, not only did it show the name of the file being played (with the path), but the time remaining/total time of the song.
So, 93 would make it prior art. I do believe it came on a floppy full of software with the SoundBlaster card when we upgraded our 486-100.
What is more dynamic than manipulating your world with the power of the written word? I never really understood why people want to see everything themselves, instead of using their imagination. I have found every attempt at a graphical role playing/virtual world game to be constraining and unpleasant.
Moving around in a pre-determined environment, and interacting with your world in only specified ways is hardly role playing/living a virtual life. It's unfortunate that the current trend has people who once would have picked up a book heading off to the movie theatre to see big explosions and horribly flat dialogue.
Wouldn't some US embargos prevent the distribution from the US to Cuba of Linux? I'm certain it wouldn't stop anyone from wanting to use Linux/OSS in Cuba, but this is somewhat interesting.
Are you actually dense that the Liberal Government is trying to shut down this inquiery??
If you look at the Hansard from early last year it was clear that the Liberal MAJORITY goverment was pushing for an enquiry while the Conservative Opposition was quite plainly against it. The reason why the publican ban is ordered by Justice Gomery is to allow those involved to have a fair trial, a right given to them by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
You have no right to subvert the law in this case, and I sincerely hope you get charged for subverting a Justice's edict.
Okay, this is April First... so I am sincerely lead to believe that this is Google's prank of the year.
Now, as for Canadian Cab Companies. If you call, they will come. Most are not awfully concerned about people skipping out on fairs. Most people still pay for cabs with Cash.
Jet injectors have been around since 1940. They were designed to inoculate in Africa, but they kept on jamming because of dust and sand. It was tossed aside for a 3 pronged fork-like needle which you just stabbed someone a couple of times, or scratched them to vaccinate them.
First I move all the consonants up to the first vowel in the word I am "translating" to the end of the word. After that is completely I append "ay" to the end of the word.

What if you mentioned Streisand and Giggs?

This bill will die on the floor of the House of Commons because Parliament will disolve well before this makes it out of comittee.

This can be seen as giving the record companies more money to generate/find new talent /or/
Giving the record companies more money as they rehash the same old talent.
It's amazing how record companies can make themselves sound like poor orphans with no money, food, heating, or shelter.
