Lost children is a convenient explanation. I'm sure the park can't actually use the technology to see which bits of the park are most popular, where the best place to put concessions, what ride lengths need shortening to maximize throughput or anything like that. Oh no.
We wouldn't want them to be able to make the place better now would we!
The right to free speech does not give you the right to speak when and where you want. No one is saying that the gay activists can't run a website, just that they can't run it on a domain chosen solely to be similar to a trademark.
If you don't appreciate the types of internal application that a company like IBM will have then you don't appreciate the type of organisation that IBM is.
How long do you think it takes for an organisation with over 300 thousand employees to change its employees' desktop environment? How many much smaller organisations still use NT 4?
Isn't this sort of decision standard in any large organisation? As with any upgrade, IBM will want to ensure that the upgrade isn't going to break any internal applications. No large organisation is going to want employees installing significant OS upgrades without central verification.
A passport is not the same as a national ID card. No one is required to hold a passport, so can refuse to show it, or pretend that they do not have one. The same goes for driving licenses.
A compulsory national ID card is very different. You cannot claim not to have it, and hence can be required to produce it - even if that requirement is not immediate.
I believe that's technically incorrect. If your speedometer shows 70 and you're going 76, it's still within the tolerance permitted by the MoT test, and I understand that you're not speeding. (Not that I condone speeding, lest I be misunderstood).
This is incorrect. The indicated speed must not be less than the actual speed. It may be more (up to a tolerance) but must not be less.
Trip 3: Walk to bus stop, 1 minute. Wait for bus, 2 minutes. Bus Journey, 10 minutes. Walk straight to platform (with season ticket for train), 1 minute. Wait for train, 5 minutes. Train Journey, 22 minutes. Walk to office, 2 minutes. Total Journey 43 minutes. Total cost, 13 UKP
Trip 4: Walk to car, get in car, 1 minute. Drive, sit in traffic jam, drive, sit in traffic jam, drive, sit in traffic jam, drive, 60 minutes. Queue to park, 5 minutes. Walk to office, 5 minutes. Total Journey 81 minutes. Total cost, 10 UKP to park, 3 UKP petrol, plus car maintenance, tax, insurance, etc.
but in the case of a PDA, it's better to serve a simpler, smaller style sheet to make those users happy and keep the hits coming.
Or is it better for the browser on the PDA to realise it has a small screen and ignore CSS elements that it can't handle?
It is possible that the upgrade had been tested in a serperate system as well. It is not going to be identical to the Live system though, so some problems on the change over should be expected.
The TV license provides a broadcaster that is not dependant on advertising for revenue. In theory it can broadcast programmes that are not popular with advertisers. It doesn't always work, but when it does it works very well.
One of the nice things about OO is that you can hide the complexity from new comers. e.g.:
SimpleInputClass i = new SimpleInputClass();<br> String a = i.input();
This hides all the complexity in a simple class provided by the teacher. Once they undertand the more complex stuff you can open up SimpleInputClassand show how it works - or even get them to write their own.
OSS is a principle-based movement? I think I'll stick to the free (beer) reason.
While a small number may be fundamentally opposed to binaries, I would think the majority are more interested in the many practical advantages currently offered by Open Source Software.
Yet there are advantages to a more interventionist attitude from government. There has been a general recognition that a standard measurment system is a good thing[TM]. Similarly, it has been recognised that metric is better than imperial.
The only bar to change is the cost of conversion. In the longer term everyone will benefit from governments forcing change by a significantly improved measurment system and a decreased change over period. For the US, the change will take much longer, and be much more costly - given all the inevitable conversion mistakes - but the result will be the same.

I work much better at cooler temperatures and sit and do nothing when it gets warmer.

They don't need cameras to find out if your tax is out of date. The only place they need to look is Here.
And for those PCs that do need USB?

This isn't Java5, it is Java 2 v5
Although this is J2SE v5, or Java 2 Platform Standard Edition 5.0 to give it a longer name.
So we've had JDK1.1, J2SDK1.2, J2SDK1.3, J2SDK1.4 and now we get J2SDK5.0.

Now, the British government is going to switch to MS, dumping Real. All these actions encourage the same company they complain about.
The BBC is not part of the British government. It may have funding provided by the government, but it is an independant body.
You have 15 seconds. Tell me the non-911 way to report an emergency to the fire department where you are presently located.
112? Or does the US not implement the standard GSM emergency number?
