Nothing to do with scammers. The bank is required to report to the thought police. The British overnment wants to know what you are doing, why you are doing it, and how you are doing it, so they can store it on computer files which they lose, and end up in the hands of scammers..
this guy, his lawyer and the bank are all dumb as shit.
Ther is no law against being dumb. There is also no law against banks lying about checks being cleared. Banks are above the law if it suits them. That is life. Get over it.
I thought the whole point of the clearing process and delays were to verify the validity and liquidity of a cheque.
You are the type of gullible person the bank likes as a customer. The delay is so they can embezzle your money on the forex trading market for a few days, which they generally lose money on, hence the need for huge charges to recoup their losses.
They lie about it, which is "obtaining pecuniary advantage by deception", and they all do it, which is "conspiracy to defraud". However, they bribe the government and you don't, so they get away with it.
In Zambia, the government bribes you. How is life in Soviet Russia?
On Android, you check ot the data and find that almost all phones are running 2.x and if you develop for 2.0 it will run fine on any 2.x phone. In any case, the phones that were sold with 1.6 can be upgraded to 2.2 for free by anyone who cares. Actually, 2.0 and 2.1 are almost dead now.
When the new phones come out they wont have twice the resolution and four times the processing power. We have seen the future, and it is now.
We are over the knee in the curve. Past the point of inflections, into well charted waters.
The HTC Desire (old) has the same resolution as the Desire HD (new), which is 800x480. Did you learn nothing from the history of the PC? (If you were nothere when it happened you have no excuse, cos boring old farts like me have told it over and over anyway: Up until VGA (640x480) there was a new resolution every few months. Once we got VGA, then over a 10 year period, we migrated to 800x600, and even now we have 1024x768 on most of the PCs in Comet, Dixons or what ever they are called in your country. Sure the hardware can do better, but no one bothers to set it up.Why? cos 800x600 is good enough. Hardcore gamers are not the market for Android phones. The rest of the world will only pay for good enough.
And if you develop for the common denominator, no one bothers to upgrade cos it does them no good. see: fragmentation is just FUD. However, better battery life would be something smartphone users might pay for, and that means people will play^h^h^h^huse your same old app for longer before the battery dies. (And maybe even learn how to get the pearl out of the Oyster?). Higher resolution and more processing power are the mortal enemies of battery life.
Except that live 1.6 machines will be as rare as hens' teeth because the network operators will provide OTA upgrades to 2.2 before the problem gets serious.
I think the problem is selling products at a loss, rather than modding them. ALthough locking them up might be in the same league as "any colour as long as its black", (Yes I do have a third party, pink, with ponies, housing on my phone.)
I live in central London, and it sometimes takes 2 hours to drive to the local supermarket. However, I can walk it in fifteen minutes. Such is the traffic chaos: the busses were faster when they were horse-drawn. The local pub is only two minutes from my front door, and the nearest decent one is two minutes. Hell, I can get to Germany in under 7 hours worst case! I can be on the beach in Spain in 7 hours. However, get Sky to fix my broadband? Impossible!
OFCOM is more spineless than a wet cabbage. When "you and yours" (a consumer focussed radio program) asked them what theyw ere doing about the companies that tricked people into signing for regular expensive text messages, believeing they were agreeing to a single payment (generally children downloading ringtones paid for by parents), The OFCOM guy said "We cant do anything: these people are criminals and they run away when we come after them!" Given that BT hold on to their payments for 90 days, and the complainst typically occur within 7 days, this is total BS.
Look at the charges for texts, and indeed, many other charges, well known to be rip-offs and concealed by excessively complex charging structures. OFCOM makes disappoving noises, but never takes any effective action whatever.

Of course, in the USA, consumers have no rioghts, because APPL has bought them all.
You will have to upgrade wet squirel to rancid fish to get my vote.
It will be a lot more once they have the translations alongside all the interesting bits on the web!

You forgot rocket propelled grenades - the only message a real spammer understands.
You are underestimating the Eurovision Song Contest. (The object of which is to appear more bizarre and irrelevant than your competitors).
Not much crime in Switzerland because "Im der Schweitz das Crime ist verboten!"

Enquiring minds need to know!
I've never understood why the rest of the world doesn't seem to have an EFTPOS system that doesn't rely on America
I believe the correct technical term for this is offshoring
What about RuPaul and Ron Jeremy?
Does anyone here have evidence for or against? Enquiring minds need to know!
A Hit? This is Europe, not America - No they will be accused of sex crimes in Sweden.
Where can I download that?

This is MS: Adding bloatware is their business model. You need to sandbox MS.

No one has yet been killed by a modded game console (unless by being struck over the head with it, or dying of boredom playing stupid games)
