The thing to do is to catch them reaching for their gun, or their illicit material that some hacker put there. Everyone is a criminal, just find their crime before they find yours.
In our case it is because the "no to av" were a bunch of liars; I'll give you an example:
They claimed that "Australia uses AV and they want to get rid of it"
The fact was that Australia had a form of AV that required the voter to rank ALL candidates, which was annoying. The Australians wanted to move to the UK-proposed style of AV where you had the choice of ranking other candidates but were not required to do so.
To interpret and present "Australia prefers UK-style AV" as "Australia wants to get rid of AV" is highly dishonest.
Then there is rubbish like "We'll have to spend millions on voting machines which we would otherwise spend on hospitals (honest!)" which ignores the inherant cost of running a democracy and the fact that voting machines weren't required.
Lack of HDMI stops me properly showing off at a friends house in plugging it into his TV cos I left my magic Samsung cable at home.
So that's not going to help my friend want to buy one.
And as I read through the review I thought "yes! at last! One I can buy! Yahoo!" until I saw that stupid cable business. I went through magic vendor proprietary cables with HTC and it's a pain and I'm not doing it again.
Bad luck Samsung, maybe one of your competitors won't be so dumb, I'll wait for them.
You are presuming that there actually is any evidence that is classified and that the evidence would have convicted him.
This is a strong presumption (unless you have actually seen the evidence).
To most people, this is the prosecution trying to weasel out of never having had any evidence and having failed at their stasi-style oppression.
Saying that the odds aren't high that he's guilty is another way of saying that you are biased for the other side (unless, as I said, you've seen the evidence).
But the real issue you didn't address is: "guilty of what?" - do you have anything specifically in mind that he is guilty of, or do you just mean "what they said"?
And "what they said" (if you know what that is and understand it actually an offence? I've read a case where someone was convicted because they were found "guilty" of doing something (a fact) which itself wasn't actually illegal but the jury were mislead into thinking that doing that act (which was a fact) was the same as being guilt of committing a crime.
Sometimes it's easier to get them to agree for an exchange.
Quite possibly when they get to the shelf they won't find any if your friend has them all in his trolly as he walks around frozen veg.
Having already accepted the point, they then give the refund or a credit note or 3 "smiles" or something and your friend can put them back before he leaves.
But I agree, quality and customer service at ASDA are going to hell.
Sony took more care to lock the customer out of equipment the customer owned on the customers premises to "protect Sony's IP" than they took to protect the customers data running only Sony's servers at Sony's premises.
Looks like they need to move their security staff to the hosting side.
Cancelling your card is NOT the same as cancelling the service that you way paying for with the card.
They may just send the debt collectors around instead.
if you want to cancel a service, make sure you do just that. Cancelling the card is good too, in case they don't manage to stop taking payments, but it's not a substitute.
"All three of these vendors have their own authority for patching their platforms of choice. When they find a problem with their software, they release patches which you can immediately download and install. In fact with Ubuntu and to a lesser extent Windows, you can independently download and install your own patches if the vendor is moving to slow for you."
From experience none of them release patches for notable bugs, and from experience my android platform is as open as my PC platform.
Microsoft are perhaps a little more pro-active. The debian guys and other project authors are too. Ubuntu do little such that I hardly feel it worth reporting bugs - it can take 6 months for it to be acknowledged as a valid bug. Over the next 2 years more and more "me too" will pile on an nothing happens. In fairness I also can't find a way to get them to let me pay them any money in relation to the bugs (or my use of ubuntu) so they don't owe me anything.
Oracle I feel are the worst. One large company I worked for upgraded to a specific release of Oracle for a specific feature which turned out to not work and was not going to be fixed until the next version which required a load more money.
"However because android has ZERO central bug authority for patching random issues like this, and ALL patches have to either be approved or hacked onto your phone It literally can take a year or more if ever for small bugs to actually get fixed."
The bug details help you know how - it's to do with measurement of time - the timer used for the lease management happens to be a timer which stops when the android is sleeping.
The advanced aliens might actually BE gods - of course it's down to definition of "god" which is usually some hand-wavey straw-man, implicitly defined as "doesn't exist".
Stargate SG1 always makes me laugh, when Daniel starts out: "They're not gods, they're just..." and then starts to recite the natives definition of gods.
The fact that the natives speak english with all it's american nuances also makes me laugh, but hey - it's just for fun.
The more response answer is: if they are gods, so what? What have we got to do with them? Are we their cattle or their distant relatives? That sort of response is much more useful
The people who think the world is over populated scare me. Who are they trying to satisfy by making less of everyone else. They pretend it's not themselves, so it must be each-other. "I'd be happier if there were less poor people, we must stop people being born so they won't be poor"
if there are so many people that it offends you, just stop being offended. If you are worried about how the future generations will feed themselves - well it's their problem.
Don't try and make the choice "not be born or be maybe hungry" for them. Let them find their own solution. Don't give up "just in case future generations find it hard"
Non-mormons are also a scary bunch, ask anyone who has had extensive dealings with them.
I've had some real serious run-ins with non-momons and some of them have really strange beliefs and practises.
And no, I don't care if you don't believe me. Experience is the best teacher, and unless you have some actual experience with these people, you have no idea what the real deal is.
Yup -it's even too scary for me to talk about, so that will have to do...
I've met weird mormons too, but I usually figured it was because they were american and so it was the americans that were weird. But then I met some weird english mormons too... so then I realised that it was the weird people that were weird, and that the religious and national factors were not very relevant.

I don't want a subscription, I want to just pay-per-view - like DVD rentals but without the hassle of going to the shop or waiting for the postman.
So far no-one wants to take my money except the pirates.
Shame.
well said.

Often the business case is reached long before the project maintainers standards are met.
The result is that the code cannot be accepted into the project and often isn't even submitted.
stupid lack of USB and HDMI connectors.
Lack of HDMI stops me properly showing off at a friends house in plugging it into his TV cos I left my magic Samsung cable at home.
So that's not going to help my friend want to buy one.

At ASDA DVD's are £5 a throw and often less.
I buy them and watch them once or twice and think I've had good value for money.
Landfill mining won't be profitable if we stop filling.

You personally are not a "critical mass"
When lots of people don't buy from Sony but buy from the various other vendors, then it will be noticed.
I think you got the 2nd and 3rd laws the wrong way around.
Classically of course, you are right, but not from a commercial perspective.

Just like Ubuntu.
And Oracle.
And Microsoft.

You are important - once you've been tortured - then your freedom and even life is very embarrassing.
It only takes one idiot with an itchy torture finger and then they can never afford to let you go.
yes!

I remember one like that.
I was advising a graphic designer for the launch of a website, telling him what was and wasn't possible.
I then saw him, at the grand launch, unveil an impossible website.
My jaw dropped for about 2 seconds and then I thought:it's a big gif - and it was.
It didn't last, of course! That's what happens (happened) when photo-shop users design web-sites in a hurry.
The people who think the world is over populated scare me. Who are they trying to satisfy by making less of everyone else. They pretend it's not themselves, so it must be each-other. "I'd be happier if there were less poor people, we must stop people being born so they won't be poor"

Header files generally specify an interface, the libraries implement the interface.
However header files can implement some of the interface by use of inline functions and macros.
As has been hinted, these are more likely to be subject to copyright as they are more than a minimal specification required for interoperability.

I hope you are joking.
You don't end your su by running su neil, you invoke another su.
If someone finds your neil shell and exits, they will be back as root.
Your should type "exit" to end your su, or maybe "exec su neil" if you must. exec replaces your root su with the neil one instead of pausing it.
