In the UK this covered by the data protection act, which entitles anybody to scrutinise any information held about them by a third party. Similar laws exist throughout the European since this is a EU treaty obligation.
Does the Pulic have the right to how these devices work, or just the procedures on how they are used?
This is not the public it is the court.
In order for the prosecutor to demonstrate something to the court beyond a reasonable doubt, one of the key areas of scrutiny is that the chain of evidence is established from the act to the court.
they have succeeded to setting the econo-political agenda such that the majority of people actually believe they are part of that elite, and let greed do the rest.
We don't tolerate ' inappropriate social behavior (e.g., use of obscene language, urinating in public) from trolls so why should we tolerate it from mental patients ?
Hell! I have no idea if I'm being sarcastic, trolling or insightful.
To some degree, what employers want is a trained workforce (as opposed to an educated one), and in that case it makes lots of sense to train them with the exact same tools they will be expected to use in employment. Which means Windows, MS Office, etc.
We don't train people to drive one brands of cars or use one brand of mobile phones, so why should be do it with Computers? Why do you think it's 'sensible' for British tax payers to subsidise companies like Microsoft? If Microsoft want students/children to be trained in their software then they should bloody well pay for that training themselves.
I want British Schools, Colleges and Universities to educate people to think, not conditioned into blindly accepting any old trash.
the current blocking artefacts on BBC1 etc. are ridiculous.
You shouldn't be getting ANY mpeg artefacts on DVB picture if you have a clean signal and a decent STB. The artifacts means the signal is not being decoded correctly. Either you're getting noise into the bit stream so the dtv/stb is dropping mpeg frames, or the STB is dropping mpreg-frames anyway because it cannot handle the bit rate.
There are 3 main causes of this.
1) You're using an old analog antenna or a long or poor quality drop. Only analog antenna are very poorly tuned for DTV spectrum, get a modern high gain model for digital signals with good quality new coax.
2) You are getting a signal echo from a nearby building or structure. A good installation engineer should be able to eliminate this using a signal meter and careful positioning.
3) Some cheaper STB cannot handle the full bitrate and drop mpeg frames when they get overload.
The UK is about 2.5 years down the line in the process of a switch over to DTV. Terrestrial DVB boxes are commonly available and very inexpensive; available at about 38 uk pounds (~ 75 Dollars/EUROS) for a commodity stb and 49 uk pounds for a branded one, though they did start out at about 400UK pounds.
I used to be a strident supporter of further European integration (a very rare animal in the UK). Disbelieving the claims of euro-sceptics as xenophobic rhetoric. However pulling crap like this makes a mockery of democracy.
The British general public widely like, respect and are proud of the BBC.
The Rupert Murdock owned media has been astroturffing against the BBC for years, when grass roots public opinion is that he is the only real problem with the British media.
Later it was discovered that accusations were false. In my book, if you claim to have absolute proof that guarentees certainty of a fact and that fact latter turns out to be false.... you lied.
The very same thing could be said of Andrew Gilligan and his proof.
In any case, it seems that this coalition could do with a lesson in not making accusatiosn lightly too. The consequences of their accusations were far more serious!
The same could be said about the apologists/apeaseniks. The consequences of their accusations is that international action is impossible in the Lebanon, or Sudan, or Zimbabwe.
WAPI is "on old technology, performs poorly and is insecure"
Perhaps that is the point. So they can eaves drop on their dissidents, western governments have tried the same trick. c.f. Echelon/Carnivore/Clipper/ITAR etc. Given the oppressive authoritarian nature of their government it's seems they are even more likely to try the same tricks. The best solution is to just ignore their objections. If they wish to join the information revolution they must learn to play by its rules.
Ian Wilmut was interviewed on the BBC Today Programme yesterday, and was asked about this very issue, and he uneqivically stated that this approach will not work for MND, and they where researching this area with this approach because adult stem cell research had failed.
is that the religious anti-cloning campaigns have shot themselves in the foot on this issue. They argued that scientific cloning is playing god and should not be allowed to create humans in labs because these clones wouldn't have souls. The response was since they don't have souls, they are by definition not people, just a bunch of cells, they therefore have no human rights, and science can do as it pleases with the clones. They should have argued that all clones ARE humans, they have human rights, and it would have stopped this in its tracks.
1) Communist Solution. The government owns all bun and all the sausages, so you use it as a bribe officials to escape black-marketing charges.
2) Socialist Solution. The government take it off you by way of increased taxation to pay social security to the unemployed bun vendors.
3) Capitalist Solution The now unemployed bun vendors become sausage vendors, thereby increasing the supply so that you now get 2 for the price of 1 and die an early death from obesity related disease.
4) Real life, The now unemployed bun vendors change to a life of crime steals it from you.

how exactly does O'Reilly releasing 2 books on firefox equal a "end of lazy IE-only scripted webpages"?
Probably because the OP recognises Tim Oreilly uncanny abilty to predict (or influence) technology trends which is verging on presciense.
This is only partially correct, women make a lower value of claims than men, but they also do a lot less miles on average. When adjusted for the mileage difference men are much safer per mile. It a classic example of lies, damed lies and statistics.

The figure of 80% for employers national insurance contribution is a complete fabrication.
The employers NI rate for the UK is between 11% and 12.8% and that is without any allowances which typically reduce this by more than half.

This story seemed to hit all the major news outlets in the UK. I dont really know why.
Simple really. The MOD needed to distract everybody away from that pillock Galloway showing up our country.
He may be a lying thieving crook prepare to exploit sick children from the 3rd world, but his oratory makes him a very credible lying thieving crook.
Re:That's not self replication
I doubt that it's science either, it looks much more psuedo-science 'proof' of intelligent design to me.

Five years ago I would have agreed with you. However today, given the way things are moving, it has to be law.

If anyone has a good counter-argument,
1) Communist Solution.
The government owns all bun and all the sausages, so you use it as a bribe officials to escape black-marketing charges.
