yep, alternate methods of service are applied under CPR Rule 6.15 (I think), following application to the Court (this is England/Wales, your jurisdiction may vary).
OK, as I understand it, and I stand to be corrected, Science (big S) is our attempt to understand hence take some semblance of control over our environment (not just talking climate change, I mean everything from the consistency of concrete to the purity of our drinking water to switching off genes that turn corn purple), using "truths" that are subject to basic rules (Newtonian physics, etc) and open to adjustment upon exposure of the truth to new evidence, while religion holds that truths are self evident and need no further explanation ("miracles") and that any new evidence, no matter how pervasive, is anomalous to the religious truth (AKA "dogma"), to be resisted and ridiculed at all costs (although Christian Science makes a show of adapting dogma to hold in the face of evidence, it's actually the other way round: evidence supporting the dogmatic view is chosen and shown, evidence against it is ignored and suppressed).
speaking of weight, the DLR trackbeds had to be reinforced for the Olympics not because of the extra weight of passengers so much, but because the original two-car trains needed to be upgraded to three car D2007 trains which were nearly double the dry weight - and would have killed the Victorian-era viaducts the DLR ran over
the court is under no obligation, the obligation is on the petitioner to serve documents. Fnord: I'm speaking from the last six years of experience over a hundred cases through the courts of England and Wales. Oh, and there's also: http://www.justice.gov.uk/cour... Generally, though, judges are satisfied with nothing less than signatures on the N210.
DLR operates without drivers because it isn't subject to london transport rules that say that a train shall be manned at its head at all times. Most DLR carriages do, however, carry what are referred to as train captains, who have key access to control panels at either end in case they're needed (they also control the doors but normally the SELTRAC system controls the drive system subject to door safety interlocks engaging).
that's very light for a commuter train, our tram system uses four-segment cars that weigh over 120 tons dry. Those things seldom go over 35mph. London's underground trains are 27 tons *per car*. Dry. And each train has six of them.
wasn't there something a while ago about someone getting hammered for firing a.22 at the white house (think two inch thick laminated glass) while the president was abroad, yet he still got it for attempted assassination?
Since London Underground trains are all the same length, they're all pretty much the same weight (160 tonnes give or take twenty for passengers using the D78 stock electric units in trains of six cars). For the driver, this means that standing on the brake when you hit the brakepoint (or letting the e-brake take it when you hit the warning point) stops the train on the same spot every time: within a foot or two and ALWAYS behind the stopgate at the far end of the platform. Experienced commuters know where to stand on the platform so the train stops when the door is directly in front of them. BTW the Victoria line is still crew-served. The only true crewless train operating in the UK is the Gatwick APM (everything is automatic - and there are only two stops). Glasgow's subway is crew served in the sense of the doors being manually controlled.
Sure, set your dogs on him. Shoot him. Spray arterial blood tainted with the worst of the worst most virulent weaponised strain of ebola this planet has ever seen all over the lawn. POTUS and FLOTUS and the rest of the Acronym Family deserve to die in their opulence, and may they take with them as much glitter as they can swallow.
papers can be served via electronic means, the burden of proof is on the service agent to prove service (via read receipt or screenshot showing that the document has been received by the other party - both of which technically possible on facebook).Service by post is possible, for those in doubt about that, but proof of posting is NOT proof of receipt. In that case, only a signature on a notice of service (or a recorded delivery docket) is sufficient.
the US Government use UCAVs to keep the airspace around DC clear. These are generally armed with air to air missiles for larger targets such as helicopters and scattershots for smaller aircraft such as drones. The safety is in the operator flying from a desk, other than that it's a crapshoot as to when (not if) one of these things'll drop its payload onto a busload of schoolchildren.
agreed, local user storage isn't the priority for budget phones, if they're using the same processors then that proves the point. You would be able to use exactly the same apps on the 16GB version as you could on the 64GB version; the difference is how much space is left for your Kanye West back catalogue.
(how much of a typical iphone app is actually userland content rather than executable code?)
you bring up a very good point, actually. People generally are moving away from the classic beige box and leg cooker, to keyboardless tablets and mobiles. That's cool, technology moves on, etc. But the most common question I hear asked in a bricks-n-mortar store from people shopping around for the latest greatest iWank is "Can I get Facebook on this?". That's it. They want their computer for nothing more than uploading pictures of their dinner, "playing" the dullest "games" I have ever seen in my life, and thread raging at the latest abortion from Simon Cowell. They're not particularly interested in home accounting, writing letters, writing the next best selling book or movie script - they just want to stay in touch with Mom. Folks, what happened to just getting on your fucking bicycle and taking a ride three miles up the road and actually getting some RealFaceTime with members of your own family? I know there was talk in the 1980's about the human species moving to a ccumputerised, virtual existence, but I really didn't think it'd happen this fast. The last step in this nightmarish scenario is uploading your brain to a cloud...
entirely doable with what I have installed on my laptop: Virtualbox. Set up a VM in service mode, release a port to the LAN, log in and the thing automagically sends a window manager in device native resolution (or whatever resolution I have the window set at - it even dynamically adjusts so I can drag corners to resize and not lose anything). Hell, I can run a client from a PII on a VGA screen and have it not only display but interact with an instance of Windows 7 Ultimate with all its bells and whistles going off at once.
companies like Apple buy everything in bulk. They probably thought that buying up as many 16GB modules as possible would cover them over the production lifecycle of the 5, which it has, but now they've got crates of the 16GB chips they have to use somewhere: so how about the budget next generation phones? Once the 16GB models are gone, you won't see 16GB iphone 7s.
archiving serious amounts of data does require careful forethought. Actually, I would say that archiving your photo collection requires as much forethought. Futureproofing is but one facet of the problem, you've also got disaster preparedness among a great many other things to consider. Storage media, not just the file format, is another. Will a floppy disk drive be available in fifty years? How about a five inch optical disc reader? Quarter inch tape? DAT? Vinyl? Etched steel plate? How resilient is your storage? Will it withstand an EMP, fire, freezing, earthquake? Is one copy in one format in one location enough? Future proof your media as well as your formats.
PICT is a legacy Mac format, precursor to PDF. WMF is tangentially similar in that it uses function calls (PICT uses opcodes) to "draw" a scalable image, however the WMF specification continues to be updated to this day (last update was in February?).
You couldn't use either on a RISC box running on RISC OS 3.1 (without plugins and/or serious hacking), so for me they're both useless for archiving right out the gate.
You want an open vector standard such as SVG (for the simple reason that future systems will be more likely able to read these than.wmf or.pict since the specification is publicly available with no restrictive licensing or patent issues). Come back when you're completed the conversion.:)
uh... because the MS Word.doc format is a proprietary binary format that's closed up tighter than a spinsters snizz? MS Word is not, never has been and never will be a legitimate document exchange format, and so far away from an archival format it's not funny.
Future proofing a document in my experience has involved the following:
removing unnecessary formatting; removing unnecessary whitespace; if images are absolutely essential, supply them in uncompressed and/or lossless format (ie TIFF, GIF89a (although the compression algorithm for this is patented so might pose a problem later)) as separate files; ensuring that as many contemporary readers as possible are able to parse and display the data in human readable format. This makes it more likely that a future reader might be able to open the document (correctly, every time) than one that's saved in a format with a secret specification.
better tell Amazon about that, then - their 256kbit VBR MP3 catalogue was DRM'd to the gills up to around 2008, and as recently as 2012 DRM was being discovered on their new releases as well (source: Amazon forums). Google Play's MP3 container is also DRM-laden (source: Google Forums). Overdrive MP3 audiobooks are not only DRM laden, that DRM is also a timebomb (source: own experience with MP3 files not playing because lending licenses have expired).
But you're totally right, there is no DRM on MP3, I and many, many others must be talking out of our arses.

I'll sit next to whoever I like, people are more likely to be intimidated by me (6'8") than I by them.

brakepoints on curved lines: not simply a suggestion, you ignore those at your peril.
the London Underground is also manual. The only automatic bit is the drive system, and even that is overseen by a human driver.
