I might be missing something here, but the list of winners and the list of losers in US presidential elections both contain Richard Nixon.
How can a regexp match ALL the winners and NONE of the losers in that case?
The license fee (which I support) funds all of BBC content that is not funded by the arms of the BBC which make profit (BBC worldwide, for example). The basis is generally, around the British Isles, you can obtain BBC broadcast & interactive services free of charge at the point of use.
British subjects (which includes IOM & CI residents) pay a license fee in order to be permitted to use equipment that is capable of receiving television broadcasts. This is compulsory, whether or not they use that equipment to receive or view BBC content, or indeed any broadcast content. No difference if they receive the signal through terrestrial broadcast, satellite broadcast or cable, and even if you pay a subscription to the provider of the broadcast, you still pay a license fee. There is no veriation between analogue, standard digital or HD services, but I think you can get a discounted license if your TV is monochrome (black & white for those of us who had one once!)
The fee is charged for use of TV kit, but funds TV, radio, web/interactive, Ceefax and many public services run by the BBC. It is perfectly legitimate to complain about spending on iPhone apps rather than web apps - as legitimate to complain about 6Music and the Asian network (DAB-only BBC radio stations) However, that's what the BBC trust is about... I think the phrase might be "there are other closed-access mobile application stores available"
Now, if the rest of the world can understand the issues at stake when many license fee payers seem unaware, fine. I suspect though, that TFA's author doesn't understand them as I see them.
for what it's worth, I love the BBC, despite 90% being a bit crap. I support the license fee, but would like it to be lower. I'd like 6Music on FM, I won't get DAB for my car! BBC1 is a bit crap, and regional BBC radio/TV for my area is rubbish and NEVER GET THE WEATHER RIGHT! but to abolish or curtail the BBC would be a disaster for the whole world. The freedom from advertising alone is worth £120/year and I would never listen to commercial radio, even if they abolished the BBC. A few hundred grand on iphone app development does not overly bother me.
Er, it's Domicilium's domain. Private company, so you don't get to decide who gets a domain and who doesn't.
Unless, of course, you're proposing that the Isle of Man nationalises the.im domain? It would have to be run by a government department and I can't wait for the facebook comments on that!
Some of us saw this one coming. The UK has been a police state for approaching 25 years and all we do is go shopping. To be quite honest, when the random ravers marched in 1994 and everybody ignored us (thanks BBC, we marched right past the back of your studio!), I began to feel that the apathetic man and woman in the street were deserving of what they were going to get.
Back then, I was worried that police would have the power to stop, turn back, detain and arrest people for spurious public order offences. Now the police can shoot immigrants dead in the underground, kill bystanders at protests and get away with it. The BBC coverage (constant indignation anyone?) is a bit late.
Imagine a jackboot, stamping on a human face. Forever . Do you still need a motto for the 2012 olympics?
I've had a few XDA smartphones over the past couple of years. I liked them, but they were too big and unwieldy for phones and didn't have enough storage. They were great with BT/WiFi and Skype, but I didn't like carrying the handsfree round with me, so no tunes and no video, despite it having the capability. In short, not enough features in it to warrant the size, in my opinion.
So I got a samsung d500, much better size, has mp3 player, but again, I don't like carrying the handsfree kit, so again, no tunes. Better phone, though, and small enough for a trouser pocket, leaving room for another device.
And that device is an iPod. My wife got sick of me moaning about having no toys of my own, and got me a mac/ipod combo (thanks again, babe!). I feel no problem with the headphones on the ipod because they wrap around the body of the player until I need them. I have no desire for a combo device now, because I have the best of both worlds (except isync is no go with samsungs!)
IF (!) apple can make the iphone less complex for phonecalls, as much storage as my 80Gb ipod, comfortable in size and fully featured enough to deserve the only place in my pocket, AND combine that with a good way of storing wired headphones, I will consider purchasing one. For the record, I wear a suit to work, YMMV. Oh f*ck, I AM NOT HERE NOW BOSS!
"Hominid" means "human-like". There have been many hominids, but the only known hominid currently inhabiting the planet is homo sapiens sapiens - i.e. humans.
Hominids are a sub-group of primates, as are gorillas, chimps, bonobos and orang-utans. All five of these species are primates, but only humans are hominids.
This pre-supposes that the recent hominid skeleton they're calling the hobbit is either homo sapiens or extinct, of course. Time will tell.
I go the missus a casio z600s from Jessops in September - £150 IIRC. 3x optical zoom but 6MP and a long way under your budget. Ask if they still have any in stock and if the offer is still good.
A nice camera, by the way.

It means nothing of the sort. Without punctuation, you may interpret this sentence as you wish. The punctuation removes ambiguity. This may be why laws and legal documents have little punctuation. I mean, if it was unambiguous, why would you pay someone to interpret?
I have no quarrel with the interpretation of the second sentence. YMMV
I believe that the wugs glang yesterday. Surely the wugs would have glung . (subjunctive?)
NB it's a long time since I thought about these tenses and moods for real words, but this is how sing would conjugate.
gobstoppers, flying saucers, sherbet lemons, mint imperials, cola bottles, smarties etc. would all be "sweets", "sweeties" or "penny sweets". A Snickers or Mars bar would technically be "sweets" but you wouldn't usually refer to them individually as such.
regional dialects may vary.
It's ironic that the fattest nation on earth is first to label a successful stand-up comedian and one of the finest TV writers in a generation a loser for being fat.

Does that count as breaking the injunction?

How do YOU explain it? Do you have any theory, other than "a shiny, beardy man who lives in the clouds made it that way"?
Because in my experience, Fujitsu won't honour their warranties anyway.
