I thought that they might fall under Section 3 as well, but you need to consider if in doing so the intent was: (a) to impair the operation of any computer; (b) to prevent or hinder access to any program or data held in any computer; or (c) to impair the operation of any such program or the reliability of any such data.
I suppose you could argue that changing a desktop wallpaper hindered access to the data of whatever your original wallpaper was?
For future reference, if you live in Northern Ireland you are British by nationality, but you aren't part of Great Britain. You are, however, part of "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland", or UK for short.
Yeah, I know. it's surprising how many people here don't understand it either.
Because the tabloids use child abuse as a big stick to further their own political aims, whipping the unwashed (and mostly dumb) masses into a frenzy with a big "think of the children" stick.
Of course, this is a really easy one, because anyone who tries to logically argue that there has been no actual increase in child abuse or child kidnap in the last 30 years can be pointed at and branded as "doesn't care about children being abused" or onside with paedophiles. I thoroughly recommend getting hold of the satirical "Brass Eye" special on paedophilia which addresses this exact hysteria and caused outrage in the tabloids for trivialising this "serious issue". Most notable was the Daily Star who had a full page decrying the show and writer Chris Morris while the page opposite had a picture of a then 15 year old Charlotte Church in a bikini with the headline "She's a big girl now".
Again, absolutely zero knowledge of, well, anything involved here, but I assume it would be a bad idea to lay pipes anywhere with high levels of tectonic activity?
Well, I guess it made up for it by having tabs, mouse gestures, speed dial, spatial navigation and dozens of other things before any of the other browsers.
Actually, you're not far wrong. By default the iPhone disables international data roaming, you have to explicitly tell it you want to use data when not on your home network.
Yeah, completely realised that right after checking my URLs and for spelling errors. Still, I think I should be allowed a little leeway since I'm an entire Atlantic Ocean away from either:)
I didn't realise that Dizzee was completely independent (not my sot of music, though the wife likes it). That is fascinating that he's become so successful without any major backing and turns on the head the argument that only successful artists can turn "indie".
Is there an official Dizzee position on file sharing? Since you seem to be positing that file sharing has led to his success and produces a revenue stream through performance, is distribution encouraged, tolerated or frowned upon. Presumably it is to be preferred if people pay for the music, but do you take the stand of, for instance, Jonathan Coulton where tracks are available to share legally and the assumption is that if you enjoy it enough you will support the artist financially through buying recordings in physical (or even download) form, at concerts or by buying colouring books (gotta love that JoCo).
Are the recordings under standard copyright or released under a Creative Commons license. It seems to be that Dizzee is in a position of influence (top-of-the-pops, mainstream artist) that NIN are not to promote to the music buying populace the concept of it being ok to share music and that artists can make a living from that rather than the traditional label routes.
If everything you say is true, Dizzee should be the poster boy of the interwebs to promote the idea that non-label, self-promotion and fan generated popularity is totally possible.
They were up against Creative who were the defacto at the time for large capacity MP3 players. And Apple's product had No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.
That was a big reason I never got into Babylon 5. I was used to the models used in TNG and the obvious CGI in B5 was very jarring. Of course, around season 3 or 4 B5 seemed to get very interesting, but by that stage I had no clue what was going on so have never watched it:(

Plus PayPal fees since they own them as well and it's an enforced payment option now.
Sorry, but the UK has never been that big on keeping their secret nuclear bunkers very secret: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mimram/122464288/

How long before someone comes out with a little program that does exactly this, replacing all email addresses with sjobs@apple.com?
Of course, our problem here is we can be bussed a maximum of about 150 miles before we run out of land :)
Ketchup.

It's simply a way to keep everyone distracted while they steal the Hope diamond.
Fixed it for you.

Nah, just under arrest, in Mexico, in 1977.

That was my first thought too and I assumed the obvious First Post would have been Cantina Band. Could get a little repetitive though.
Not going to work - Indy always finds what he goes looking for.

Stupid dependencies, eh?
