(Think of the barber of Seville, who shaves all men, and only those men, who do not shave themselves. Does this barber shave himself or not? Either possibility yields a contradiction.)
The answer is obvious, and has been obvious to me since I was a teenager (in the 1960's):
If he has not shaved himself, he shaves himself. Else he does not. (cos he does not need to if shaved)
Disclosure: my mother was a Fortran programmer. The original philosophers saw the world as static. I, as someone who had grown up
with computers (EDSAC II, IBM 709, UNIVAC) knew that logical systems were (or at least, could be) dynamic.
You obviously need to vote another Bush into power quickly.
It will be interesting to see what impact this has on Ukraine's image. Will it appear more or less respectable to the masses? Is Borat going there any time soon? Will Ukrainian tractor sales figures return to the front page of the FT?
If I wanted to import a crate of Coca Cola from the US, then I'm damn well able to open the bottle _and_ drink it's contents.
Here in the UK, where coke is insanely expensive, we often get grey market coke from Turkey, and other countries with Arabic writing on it. Not only its cheaper, it tastes better - I think it just has less sugar.
I am damn sure its illegal to remotely hack in to your Wii and brick it, making the false claim that this is an "upgrade". It is an offence under the misuse of computers act of 1990, which specifically bans this kind of activity. Send Nintendo management to jail for about the same amount of time as Gary McKinnon, I say.
a genetic profile contains a lot of useful information
I doubt that, and, a genetic profile constructed by the "Border Agency" is very unlikely to mean anything at all. When compared to a database that has been in contact with the Biritsh government, it will be worse than useless.
Just because the Nazi party thought this was a good idea in 1939 does not make it so.
While I agree that Britain has a serious problem with over population, and that recent immigration is a major contributor to this, I cannot accept that
expensive DNA related tomfoolery funded by me is a sensible or meaningful response.
There will be huge problems with the technical side, massive incompetence by the people charged with operating the system, and large numbers of people who have trivial "skeletons in the cupboard" will fall foul of the system. (eg "your daddy aint your daddy, but your daddy dont know" to quote the old song, people trying to escape abuse, warlords, crime syndicates, or whos distant ancestors were rape victims being asked to explain things which their parents know nothing.)
And, as we all know, any information gathered by the UK government is normally in the hands of random Indians, Nigerians and Russians, etc within days, and the information on database so corrupt as to be worthless in less than a year. (According to official data, about 30% of data on the police national computer system is just plain wrong - but nobody has the authority to delete it.)
This is what it looks like, a crazed Orwellian government, who have lost touch with reality, hell-bent on absurd control-freakery.
PS enquiries at your Local Hackney pub will reveal a contact who can bypass the system for a large number of used fivers in a Safeway bag. Just ask for £$+*@... [no carrier]
If it was as simple as that you would only need that one law.
Not in the uK - The present government would nver consider passing one law when 10 would do. Preferably 20, all so badly worded that nobody knows what they mean, and several government ministers accidentally contravene them, often the very ministers that drafted them.
Yes, the very symptoms of "lunatics in charge of the asylum" - brought to you by the government that believes Orwell's 1984 is its manifesto.
The average English speaker knows roughly 35k words in their lifetime. However they only use 1200 (average) in any given week.
30 years ago that would not have been true in London, but these days it probably would. The problem is that about 25% of London's population has a vocabulary of less than 1200 words in English. Some speak a first language with little more than 1200 words anyway.
A significant proportion of people in the UK work environment have little or no grasp of English grammar either.
Unless you own the company, and often even then, your job IS scapegoat. You WILL be sacked for no other reason than your face fits the bill, and no amount of employment legislation will save you. thats life.
Your best bet is a stiff nerve! If that fails, try a stiff dick!
Windows 95 would scream on my 486 DX, while OS/2 Warp 3 would present me with an hourglass
If you had a SCSI drive, then no hourglass from Warp, and no change in Windows. Warp could multitask, and use command queueing on a SCSI drive, Windows could not.
Even better with two SCSI drives (system on one, data on another, best of all, swap to a third.)

There, thats fixed it for you!
Stealing the money is the management's job.
You obviously need to get a life!
Which one is that? the normal one exports all your data to hackers.ru at the click of a mouse!

its like being hit by a library of congress instead of a car.
The present government has been successful at achieving this, at least in the Economic sense.

I agree, but I blame that *&%$ Scottish prime minister and his cronies for it. I bet not to many of the toxic bankers are African/Asian.
When you can detect a bankers and politicians by their DNA, let me know.
The poblem with democracy is that "whoever you vote for, a politican gets elected"!

I was born in Europe, and I am still here. WTF is a GPA?
It implies you can put a stop to them by pouring boiling water on their nest!

Problem very plenty, OK? Yes, Boss
You obviously never used Windows 1.0
I shall be happy when they repeal the legislation requiring a man with a red flag to walk in front of every data packet!
You have obviously never met a PHB on crack in the middle of the night. (Its worse than drinking Dr Pepper)

I bet there are no George 2 installations sill powered up, nor any emulations either.
and there are definitely no George 1 installations - I am not sure there ever were.
I claim my cigar!
