...which is why power outlets on most vehicles run through an isolator which draws power from a continuously-cycled DC source such as a bank of lead acid batteries. Couldn't get much cleaner than that.
On the other hand, if a BS1363 socket (let's assume it's marked "for public use - laptops and phones only") outputs 1200V and fries equipment, the owner would have a claim for damages. BS1363 specifies 220-240VAC@30A line, 13A max per outlet.
no, we've had the best design of plug in the world ever since 1947. What you're confusing is the issue that only very recently the EU stepped in and mandated that every appliance sold shall have either a fixed lead with a moulded plug to BS1363 or a flylead fitted with a BS1363 plug. Bumped the margin of every single appliance which required a flylead down by something like three quid. Doesn't sound like much, but imagine if you're an indie computer shop owner having to supply two or three thousand of the things a year at cost to yourself.
the application of force includes but is not limited to the threat of force. The State likes to think it has the monopoly on legally applied physical force, not least the threat of it.
I'm starting to think there's a State apologist around here...
in the United States, the individual right is protected by the Fifth Amendment. In England it is a protection guaranteed by Clause 29 Magna Carta 1297.
3.1: was just bizarre. Although at the time I wasn't particularly interested in what was actually running the machine, I was more interested in nbody physics simulations in GWBASIC! For which I'd more often than not restart in DOS mode with a custom config to maximise available conventional/upper memory. Oh, the days when you had to literally hack your way to a usable configuration! 95 Gold: was a pile of shit, but there again that's probably because I was running it in a 4MB memory space and trying to run WordPerfect as well. Didn't even notice the Start menu as an innovation. 95 OEM SR2: was the first time I ever saw IE. I didn't like it then, switched immediately to Netscape. USB plugin was shit, hardly anything worked. 98SE: was quiiiick! 48MB of RAM by this time, and a 2GB hard drive, oh your $deity, I was in heaven. IE hadn't improved, still using Netscape. Cut my teeth on PC gaming with a 98SE box and Quake. 2000: was even quicker than 98SE. On the same hardware, I was running processes on top of processes, I could not get the thing to fall over. Tried ME for a week. Went back to 2K. xp: I didn't bother with until SP1 came out, I wasn't keen on the shiny shit, not least because I would've had to upgrade my hardware which I didn't have the cash for when xp was actually released. I've always fallen back to the 2K look and feel for xp and 7 because a: I'm used to it, b: I like it and c: my computer should be working not caking itself in enough paint to drown a baby whale. Vista: never had this on my own machines but I've had passing experience with it, I found it dog ugly and dog slow. 7: my workstation OS of choice. It's (pretty) stable, very fast and can handle pretty much anything I throw at it. Only bugbear I have is the fact that if I manage to consume all the RAM (often, given the nature of what I do, even considering I've got 8GB in here) the system bugchecks. Never had an out of memory bugcheck on any other system I've used apart from 7. 8: my son has 8 on his laptop, I think it's unintuitive, slow and ugly. That isn't going NEAR my computers.
greets, fellow lawyer. I didn't deal with divorces at all. I dealt with public family law (care and adoption cases) mostly, there was a bit of private law in there, eg contact and residency, that sort of thing. I was trying to move towards a less contentious field but things got stressful (bent judges) and I burned out. My clients were for the most part, albeit very stressed themselves, essentially good people and only trying to do good for their families, problem was they were fighting against the State who seemed to be out to pretty much destroy them individually and collectively. The fact that I refused to join the happy little clique of solicitors who are paid by hence are beholden to the State, because I knew and maintain that they follow the money not the Law (and for the most part of them, even lacked a moral compass and the slightest glimmer of empathy), conflicts of interests be damned, made me precisely zero friends in the Law Society.
"If they reach a resolution, they can print up divorce papers that are then reviewed by an attorney to make sure neither side is giving away too much before they are filed in court."
That's not exactly taking lawyers out of the loop, is it? To my mind, that's insinuating yet another thing that can go wrong.
isn't this a bit redundant? There're LAWS which cover this shit. Personally identifiable data is subject to legal protections, violations of which in a privately owned company can and do result in jail time for directors. Data pertaining to infrastructure or financial transactions are subject to varying degrees of protection under national security legislation up to and including the Official Secrets Act. Violation of THAT can lead to charges of treason.
As a data administrator in a legal practice, personally identifiable information security was priority number one. That information was strictly airgapped and transfer of data to and from the client was done face to face. Hard drives containing redundant information were not erased, they were shredded. Possibility of recovery of anything whatsoever: 0.0. Possibility of any third party getting access to that data: 0.0. How many times did I have to issue a refusal? Oh, many. Same reason every single time: it is not our data policy to divulge or release any information. Period. Here's a fuck-off biscuit, bon appetit. Even the High Court didn't get a client list with a writ of mandamus. I don't care who the fuck you are. If you're not authorised to have that data (and I am the sole arbiter of that), you are NOT getting it.
...underestimate the power of a one time pad and Radio Londres.
(not necessarily a radio, there's also the option of snail mail or just sending what appears to be nonsense strings via email or IM and using an OTP to decode...)
The point is you can encrypt using a non-repeating cipher AKA one time pad and in about oh, three seconds destroy that pad if need be.
"The pigeon has flown. Jack Bauer has bitten the ear off the dog. Leaky faucets trip horses."
we're talking about a bit of a major event here, and predicted to happen in fifteen years? I'll be in my fifties, ya cunt! That's barely half a lifetime!

Better know your law, people: abstracting electricity is a Statutory offence under the Theft Act 1968 and carries a sentence of FIVE YEARS.
You get less for fucking babies.

Your turn, Internets.
Adobe and Google both (to name two of possibly many) offer free html5 conversion.
holy hell, I'm getting 72MBit off that first link!
from what I actually used:

One major issue which for me means I'll be disabling Windows Update when they EOL 7: NO MEDIA CENTER IN 10.
Fuck that. I'm sticking with 7.
is that what stopped my Sonicstage (which worked flawlessly on Windows 2000) from properly detecting my NetMD on xp?
Seems as good a time as any.
If you're not using HTML5 by now, you're a fucking dinosaur.

Sensible. I go by the airgap solution for large amounts of data, otherwise for short messages, there's always the London Radio pad.
It will be interesting to see how much financial data diverts away from the Wharf if/when this does pass into law. I'm guessing most of it.

it's not a case of paying you, you'll do it or you won't be allowed to operate in the jurisdiction, simple as.
I put "None of the above, they're all criminals" in the margin. So don't blame me.
Protection from self-incrimination is an individual right.

Try again.
how about you bring something material to the discussion instead of this utter fucking nonsense?
