considering the fact that facebook host pages for child traffickers and paedophiles, and will shut down pages exposing such crimes without so much as a cursory investigation when the paedos themselves make a complaint, is this a surprise? No, it's not.
I think the DEA should get on with some other TLA departments and fucking shut facebook down.

I'd've gone the Ubuntu route had I not already spent many hours whittling a DVD distro (Knoppix) to a miniDVD size (1.8GB from 4.1GB) simply by pruning application trees. You can have half a gig back with the simple expedient of chopping most of the word processing and graphics packages - OpenOffice and The GIMP does most of what most people could ever want in desktop publishing, and they take less than 200MB between them. I did leave all of the reference drivers in though, Knoppix isn't Knoppix without the amazing job Klaus did with cramming those in.
yep. $630 for a 25 kilo block of grade 2 ferrotitanium, by the time you're finished you've got a finished product that weighs just over a kilo and a large ceramic bucket full of scrap (which you can melt down and reform to sheet/billet/whatever and machine to something else, like a machine part or a tool tip, but that's by the by).
the BBC is the least trustworthy source for anything ever.
ask then answer: if England didn't have a constitution THEN HOW IN THE ACTUAL FUCK CAN WE BE A CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY?

when I distributed my Knoppix-based desktop demo I had a licensed logo (Sitting Baby Tux by Nicolas Rougier) and 8cm printed discs. That thing was insanely popular, probably not least because SQUEEE! factor.
Skype no longer works on my ZTE F930. It worked great until about three weeks after the acquisition, then a software update broke it beyond belief. I can find no way to roll it back and disable updates.
Almost. The water level will remain the same since the rock will only sink to the level where the density of the water is equal to it, hence it attains neutral buoyancy.
yeah, having looked at it already as a possible solution (GRE), I eventually dismissed it in favour of a milled titanium alloy back when I had fuckloads of money to burn since GRE is far too brittle for use in a high impact setting like a rifle stock (test blocks revealed a goodly few disadvantages of epoxy matrices not least of which the brittle set states of cured blocks, plus the problem of cores of poured moulds not curing properly. Glass reinforced nylon is a superior solution but it being vulnerable to extreme cold still renders it unsuitable. I even tried epoxy putty and Isopon P38 car body filler, both of which proved unsuitable due to poor impact resistance).
Health minister Simon Burns must consider himself lucky not to have been disciplined - not so far anyway - for describing, under his breath in the Commons yesterday, Speaker John Bercow as ''a stupid, sanctimonious dwarf''.
Although the remark was picked up by the Press Gallery, Mr Bercow did not hear it, or affected not to hear it.
But when he heard about it, he said that no record had been made, implying that he had ordered the comment to be excluded from Hansard, the official report.
The Speaker of the House has the authority to order any word uttered in the Chamber (which has a live television feed to satellite and cable in operation whenever the Chamber is in session) to be stricken from the official record. Said, essentially in public, but retroactively censored hence offering some degree of deniability - if only there wasn't that pesky press gallery which is invariably full for the juicy debates!
So an incident which occupied the headlines in today's newspapers did not officially take place. The Speaker has wielded his censor's pen, and censored (or should the word be ''redacted'') the comment from the record.
Hansard is not a verbatim report and comments made by MPs ''from a sedentary position'' are generally not recorded, unless they give rise to exchanges in the chamber.
But tinkering with Hansard can be perilous. Some years ago, Speaker Horace King was involved in angry exchanges with a Tory MP named Donald Box. Later, privately, Box told the Speaker that he had got his facts wrong, so the Speaker agreed to excise the row from Hansard.
Incidentally, not too many months ago (July I think it was) a long list of names was read out in the Chamber, those names all being intimately connected with Sinn Fein and alluding to allegations that those names were connected with activities some might consider not quite legal. Like, for instance, plotting and executing the Brighton bombings. The entire record of the live televised debate was erased from Hansard but not before it had already been published.
Things get progressively darker from there. I have a scrape of Hansard from back when it first went online, I'll have to do a rescrape and run a diff, because I do recall a bit of a panic on when it was realised that there was information in there that the Government would rather we forgot - like for instance, the debates in 1958 concerning the permanent scrapping of the Blue Streak nuclear deterrent (and calling into question the entire point of the V project) in favour of the insanely expensive and as then untested Trident programme, the 1971 nonevents surrounding the UK's entry into the European Common Market with that secession clause that Teddy Boy Heath absolutely insisted and would brook no debate on it being in there which means that Scotland's split from the UK would have ended the UK's Europe membership because the UK would have technically ceased to exist, and the incredible opposition to Thatcher's plan to send our entire Naval force to the Falklands to liberate a few sheep from those pesky Argies in 1982.
there is plenty of case law concerning retroactive censorship, and oodles of unreported stuff as well. An example of this in print is the Yu Gi Oh (or however it's spelled) trading card games, where certain illustrations are omitted and often replaced with stock filler from the original Korean sets and the Western releases. Anecdotally, a flip to retroactive censorship cost my several hours of my life I'll never get back and several hours of stock footage I'll never be able to use after the dizzy bitch who managed to get herself into EVERY SHOT and even videobombed all the actual speakers, walked up to me after the event and said using not polite language that she did NOT want to see her face on the internet. Notwithstanding that it was OUTSIDE on a PUBLIC HIGHWAY at a PUBLIC GATHERING. I would have happily THROTTLED HER.

yeah, still bugs me how he got onto STS-95 even what, over three decades after sustaining that head injury? He did pass all the fitness requirements apart from that one melatonin test, but that wasn't enough to disqualify him either.

I think you mean the Communications Act 2003 section 127. The Malicious Communications Act was 1988 which was partly superceded by S.127.

Paul Chambers (conviction overturned on appeal) 2011 riots (HUNDREDS of summary convictions following this incident. David Glyn Jones received a four month sentence for a single message on Facebook found to have incited a breach of the peace) Azhar Ahmed (also a single Facebook post) Frank Zimmerman (6 months suspended for two years for sending threatening emails to an MP) Joshua Cryer (trolled soccer player Stan Collymore) John Kerlen (jailed over tweets, overturned on appeal but handed a restraining order) Daniel Thomas (arrested but not prosecuted under Section 127 over tweets) Dale Cregan fanpage (IIRC the guy who put this up on Facebook was found guilty under S.127 and jailed for six months) Matthew Woods (3 months in a YOI for explicit Fcebook posts regarding April Jones and Madeline McCann) Sam Busby (two months curfew for Facebook posts about April Jones) Caroline Criado-Perez (R v Sorley & Nimmo, concerning Twitter abuse) Stella Creasy (R v Nunn, Twitter abuse) Jordan Barrack (drew a picture of a cock on a picture of a police officer, posted it to Facebook earning him a £400 compensation order and further ordered to serve out 12 months community service)
Between 2003-07-25 and 2011-12-31 there had been 5316 people found guilty at magistrates courts in England and Wales of offences under section 127. These figures will include obscene telephone calls and text messages as well as internet-based communications. (source: Hansard)

considering the BBC covered it live, and I've lived most of my life 120 miles away in Nottingham, that scenario is unlikely to ridiculous.
what do you suppose the word "larger" means, in any context?
two words: *probable cause*.
considering the fact that facebook host pages for child traffickers and paedophiles, and will shut down pages exposing such crimes without so much as a cursory investigation when the paedos themselves make a complaint, is this a surprise? No, it's not.
I think the DEA should get on with some other TLA departments and fucking shut facebook down.
Governments are trying similar shit, by silencing dissent with summary penalties for as-yet undefined "trolling".

Fuck me, she'd be dead before she clears the tower.
in which court?
Judges in England are paid by local Government and operate in buildings leased through private companies under contract to LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
Ask then answer: who owns the courts in England?
backward or totalitarian? You just described the UK.
Did England get a vote on Europe? Nope.
Did England get a vote on Scotland? Nope.
Did England get a referendum on Trident vs. Blue Streak? Nope.
In the words of Dele Ogun, the UK is the least democratic country in the world.
