Utter rubbish - most police cars in the UK do not have ANPR. You'd be lucky to have one per police station and then usually all traffic cars and static cameras on overhead gantries on key routes.
Under the Criminal Justice Act 2003 if you are arrested for anything more than a minor offence (no need to be charged) your DNA can be taken and stored on the UK National DNA Database. It does not get destroyed.
Apple makes far, far more through selling hardware and software together than it ever would through making just software. You can't copy a piece of hardware and put it on a bittorrent site for example.
The only reason Microsoft can afford the piracy of Windows/Office that goes on is primarily OEM and business sales. It would be commercial suicide for Apple to try and compete with Microsoft in the OS market.
No, because it's using Chrome, so the fake window will have the same theme as the user is using, and if coded cleverly enough, even an experienced user wouldn't be able to easily tell the difference - e.g. Menus will operate in the same way etc.
In Panther anyway, open TextEdit, go to File->Open and check the box marked "Ignore Rich Text commands" - et voila you have plain text. Perfectly useable to me?
Ok, then. Create a file in Office 2000 or XP and try to open it in Office 97. Can't do it.
Really? You didn't look too well then did you? In Office XP go to Tools>Options and click on the compatability tab and choose which version of Word you want to be compatible with.
Microsoft does NOT support backwards compatibility. never have and never will.
Really? Looks like backwards compatibility right there doesn't it?
You must have used Egg a long time ago, as I was using Mozilla 1.5 quite happily with it a couple of days ago, with no rendering quirks at all, and no insistence that I use Internet Explorer.
To be fair, GNER are one of the better TOCs in the UK. The main problem is the infrastructure which is horribly old and mismanaged, first by Railtrack and now Network Rail.
Someone else noted, that number portability is very easy, and essentially free, in the UK, because of the intense competion between cell providers.
I managed to get a very good discount on my line rental with T-Mobile as I was going to transfer my number to a different and cheaper operator. The joys of a competitive market!:)
Aqua is the property of Apple Computer; it's a trademark, and nobody else has the right to make a user interface just like it.
Actually other people *do* have the right to make a user interface just like Aqua - they just can't call it Aqua.
There was a court case brought by Apple against Microsoft when Windows 95 came out, in which they claimed that Microsoft were copying ideas and looks from MacOS. They lost the case.
AIX is widely used in big businesses such as insurance companies, banks, etc. Linux and BSD are often used for middleware applications in these types of organisations, but they're nowhere near as scalable or mature enough to take over from AIX and other commercial UNIXs yet.
The tail mounts were exposed to forces above their rating though. This has basically resulted in a court battle between Airbus and American Airlines.
AA say that the plane should not allow the pilot to excert that amount of force on the tail mounts, whereas Airbus say that the pilots should never use the rudder in extreme manouvers, and were incorrectly trained by AA. Both points of view have an element of truth:(
They don't provide Quicktime because there are patented codecs included (including Sorenson, QDesign etc), for which they have to pay a licence fee. Also, they are probably not allowed to redistribute the source to these codecs.
The Mac Team at Microsoft seem to be a lot better at putting things together than the PC Team. Internet Explorer is actually quite nice to use on a Mac, as are things like Office.
He should be looking for a new job - Mozilla was never marketed towards the end user, and no support was ever offered. The website used to have a statement saying that the binaries were provided for testing only.
A smart IT director would go for a fully supported client based on Mozilla such as Netscape or Beonex Communicator - which don't change frequently - which is what most businesses like.

They were beaten to it. :D

Well you can enable root access and use the root account on the command line, but the GUI will not let you login as root.

Heh, I currently work in Hackney (which gets a bad rep), and take my laptop to work most days and I have had not problems at all.

is it true that they only support CBR MP3's and AAC's?
No, iPods support both CBR and VBR MP3s, AACs (which sounds as good as Ogg Vorbis imho), WAVs and AIFFs.

Gee... I always thought FBI stood for Female Body Inspection.

Lol - I actually do have a Voodoo 2 in my Athlon 2400+ box. For running older Glide-only games :)

The 'Z' however looks remarkably similar to a '2'.
I was always tought to place a bar across the Z for this very reason. Also 7 should have a bar across it to avoid being confused with the cursive 1.

You could be onto something there. In the first Austin Powers movie, I seem to remember Dr Evil being in charge of a cable company. :)
I once read in a newspaper that someone did that. The police sent him a photo of a pair of handcuffs. :-)
Pan-Am Flight 103 was blown up over Lockerbie in Scotland killing 270 people, both on the plane and on the ground in December 1988.
