This has to be the stupuidest thing I've ever read for any number of reasons. Civil lib issues galore. Technology problems - pubs spending money on this? implementation probs? whotf instals let alone maintains the sytems? who looks after the dbs? access (secure?) to the dbs? a committee of landlords acting in the public interest vs vested interest? and on and on and.....
Imagine the local boozer with systems and knowledge enough to implement something like this and then, and this is the real gem, actually implememting this?!!!!!!!!!
The author was drinking when he wrote this. He should be fingerprinted. And then put in prison.
If this is the new type of article that's going to be posted after the new look/. I'd rather we all go back to the old look.
That having been said I'm sure this is just a glitch in the system. The average standard for articles here is too high to get too mad and not forgive one mistake but please, please don't do it again.
I got my bust internal disc drive replaced very quickly and for free on Applecare that I purchsed in Ireland. It was quick and hassle free so I'd say get it. You're playing the odds, as has already been noted above but furthermore you're making life easier on yourself should something go wrong. Over here I imagine it would be a lot of hassle and a lot of money to get a quick and inexpensive repair done on a TiBook.
Calculate the probability of a failure and factor in the resulting hassle and expensive of a repair. More importantly ask yourself how hard you'd kick your own ass if you didn't get it and something did go wrong. Ever not had something insured and have it break/get stolen? It's not a great feeling. The 'If only I'd insured it' sensation is usually harder to stomach than being a little short on your weekly purchases of luxury items by the cost of Applecare for a short while.
