..and the same *doesn't* apply to number/license plates?...or the requirement for a business to keep copies of your e-mail. As I understand it the black box is a log file. Whilst I would oppose "fishing" expeditions hence the requirement for a warrant I wouldnt oppose logging.
So require a warrant *with probable cause* before the information is accessible. Probable cause could be an accident or a witness statement or whatever. Everyone happy.
BTW You rather overegged the power of the individual states. California is the 5th largest economy (according to their own website).
OK - imagine that for whatever reason you piss off the head of an organisation which has access to this. You protest about something perhaps or maybe you're an opposition politician. Later go somewhere which *could* be misconstrued...and the next day in press...scandal.
This doesn't necessarily mean that it's a bad idea, but the "...if you never break the law..." arguement is naive in the extreme.
No - someone could live in the UK and have a photo of somewhere else. I could for example have about the house a photo of a small town in Ohio and submit that.
The fact that I don't and wouldn't if I did is besides the point.
I suspect the main reason for the UK resident rule (apart for the Earth based bits being based in the England) is that whilst they might pay a train fare from Boston (Lincolnshire) they have no intention of paying an airfare from Boston (Massachusetts - {sp.?})
The tape drive on the e-mail server works quite nicely thanks.
What it boils down to is that if you've just need a dedicated fileserver that does nothing but - this is a lot cheaper than a fully featured server (the features of which you don't use).
odd - I felt it satirised people's commentries on the book. To pick one example, people have made a lot of the "right thinking white American" hero. Unfortunately the hero was actually a Philipino (a Tagalog speaker) with relatives in Argentina.
The trouble is the book is more commented on than read. There's a lot in there that I do disagree with - but I think it's worth disagreeing with what's there not what you would like to be there.
It's also worth noting that in the book soldiers could refuse a medical discharge. (The author himself was discharged for TB shortly into a professional naval career).
err...first I think you'll find that it's not a lawsuit. The EU Commission is acting as a regulator setting conditions under which MS can trade in Europe.
Second given the joyously weird system of European law, which combines different systems from 15 countries (soon 20 or more) and 2 different leagal traditions, I wouldn't bet on frivilous lawsuits actually being illegal.
Which of course says nothing about the merits of the case.
I'd imagine because the blue colour corresponds to an electron transition in the d-orbital whereas the IR corresponds to a different transition or more likely to a change in mode of molecular vibration.
One of the few things I remember from my chemistry degree was that many pigments are far brighter in the UV region since the "normal" colour corresponds to a forbidden transition - i.e. one that involves a change of spin as well as change of orbital.
I don't care who wrote it, I don't care why they wrote it and I don't even care how they wrote it.
I DO care that I've had to spend a morning running around like a blue arsed fly to make sure that all my users and servers are updated.
I DO care that in ~ 1 1/2 hour I've intercepted 150 of the bloody things, and I do care that I've a Doctor's appointment about my blood pressure this afternoon and this won't have helped.
Might I suggest a career in system administration for all the charming little children who think this is a good thing.
(1) a SF series with blockbuster grade (& budget) effects and a cult following or (2) a reality show which needs 3 cameras and a tragic cast of wannabees who'll publicly humiliate themselves for food for weeks on end, watched by 20% of the population.
McD did famously sue a couple of the Greenpeace activists for libel.
While McD won on some points they rather embarassingly lost on others - mainly on the grounds that the points made were true. I think the website was called McLibel, if you want the details.
Oh god I hate getting involved in these silly rows. Nevermind - here goes:
The apostrophe indicates letters missing *and* possesion not plurals. So "...'50's lingo..." would be correct "..'50's want..." isn't.
The reason that apostrophes indicate possession is that originally "'s" stood for "his". So "Bill's mug" would have been "Bill his mug". The idea that women might own things apparently didn't crop up.

Think of MS as a like a self-made man, still thinking of himself as working class and with a chip on both shoulders.
You could call him Del' or perhaps Rodney.
erm...you do know that what you call an elevator we Brits call a lift? You do? Good, just checking.

Possibly because the best place to observe this wasn't in the US? The BBC and ITV having being flogging this for a few days so we all knew about it.
A barbeque.
I'm forever amazed at how we're devided by our common language - right up until I talk to someone from another bit of England.

I do hope that wasn't a rhetorical question...
Either they're stunned by your directness or they're too polite to say "Read the bleeding agenda!".

Well what do you think is more profitable -
(1) a SF series with blockbuster grade (& budget) effects and a cult following or
(2) a reality show which needs 3 cameras and a tragic cast of wannabees who'll publicly humiliate themselves for food for weeks on end, watched by 20% of the population.
Hard to guess, isn't it?

Better yet, they filmed it for BBC2. We saw the bugger fail first time round. But in the end it had to go on time or not go at all.
I think you'll find the missing ingredient is money...
Quote of the week:
Interviewer: "What happens if you find life on Mars?"
Prof.Colin Pillinger: "I'll find it a lot easier to get funding for the next mission"
...but then we have a national health service. One all?
The real reason is that Colin Pillinger pushed it through by sheer bloody mindedness.
No - gallons alright, but Imperial gallons which are 25% larger than wimpy American gallons.
But the web was invented by a Englishman working with a Frenchman in Switzerland.
