but they give the US their cut so it is OK. I work in various countries and have had to get used to the simple fact that money laundering just means not giving a cut to the US. I can shift as much money as I like from any country to any country without question as long as I pay 6% but if I take too much of my hard eant money in cash from one country to another I am called a money launderer. All the guff about criminals is just guff. Criminals can use any system, but good people and bad people want to save money by using the best and the cheapest. Liberty Reserve was cheaper because it was not paying the US and that is what this is about. There is more crime going on on Paypal but they pay the US their cut. People like HSBC are helping corrupt governments to shift their money but the US gets its cut so that is OK.
They do not need to block Facebook. They will sue Facebook and as Facebook is doing business in their jurisdiction, Facebook will have to pay. There is no option. Or do you think that America will want to waive it's right to sue foreign businesses the to business in America?
My bank does not have photo ID and I would be extremely shocked if they did anything as stupid as you are suggesting. I cannot get anything out of the account without using the card and PIN number and if I want to say that I have lost that I would be required to produce photo ID. So if someone opens a fake account the bank is more likely to make all the money when they lose or break their card:-)
I think that if you have a desktop PC, you now have more choice. Do you need a laptop or a tablet? If you only check the internet etc. while you are away from your PC then a tablet is great but if you travel and do real work then you might still want a laptop... Some people are happy with a smart phone and a PC. I do not own nor want a tablet but I think that giving people more choice is great and I am therefore a strong supporter of tablets. To be honest, I have thought about getting a small dumb phone so that it fits in my pocket better and a tablet to replace what the phone can do but I doubt that I will ever do that... it is about having these options to think about and to be able to choose whereas Gates just want people to do what he can make money from.
I use a computer, I am a geek, my brother uses an iPad and is very happy with it. It does everything he wants, whereas I want to create web pages, documents etc. so I need more. Apple has given people choice and we need more choice so people can buy what suits them best. Gates is only upset because his offering to the tablet market is a flop. Windows 8 is rubbish and most people hate it so now it is Apple that is wrong. Talk about sour grapes.
My fact? You really are dumb:-) If you do not know what you are talking about, it is better that you stfu because you can only make yourself look more stupid than you just did. I am not the op and it is not my facts that are being debated just the simple fact that if you want to take part, you should either find out for yourself what is going on or move on. No one is here to serve you. If you want servants, go and hire them yourself. If you want me to do your research for you, we can negotiate a rate but you will need to pay in advance as I would not be stupid enough to trust an arrogant arse like you.
They can already lock you up for 2 years for failing to divulge encryption keys or passwords.

Try using google like everyone else instead of expecting other people to do your research. Out of kindness I will help you by telling you that the act is called "Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act". Now, out of kindness to others, look after yourself.

You must be new here. We are not statisticians, just a lot of people debating, a mass debate. It works how the majority want it to work and you have no say in the decision of how it should work. If you want a citation, look it up. If you want clarification, get it yourself. If you disagree and have a good reason, tell us but shut up with the "I don't have to prove you wrong, you have to prove you right." BS because it just makes you sound like a child.
You have an old/. account? I have an old Yahoo account that I still use as a throwaway account that never seems to get thrown away. It is a good spam bucket:-)

Please, this is /. we know that no one reads the article.

and therefore probably correct.
They are on the dole. They could not afford to pay for it if it was available.
Bollox, in the UK it perfectly legal to film anything or anyone in a public place.
sounds like a statistical fart
I see by your UID that you are new here but on /. no one reads the article although we always criticise others for not doing so :-)
That is not a deal, it is another childish rant.

Err, yes, its British because the article is about UK ISPs... American laws are not relevant to this topic.
and can you name a country that is different?

In the US you can end up in jail for crossing the road in the wrong place but in China you have to try and bring down the government.
The Chinese have special dildos for use at work? Wow, they are more advanced than us.

You mean that Iraq did not want us there in the first place and did not want their country destroyed by our politicians.
You really need to get a real life.
