No, it's Chrome/Linux.
GNU/Linux imples Linux + GNU apps. So GNU/Chrome would imply GNU ecosystem with Chrome. I doubt this will be the case. We will see the linux kernel with Chrome technology on top. This is similar to how Andriod works AFAIK.
The BBC has a GeoIP database which they use to determine whether or not you are eligible to use services such as iPlayer. Whether or not they checked if the computers were in the UK I do not know, but they certainly could have done.
Windows will use idle time to copy your physical memory to your page file. This means that a lot of the time (especially the first time in a session you run out of physical memory) the page-out operation is free.
luckily, we also developed science, which will soon give us meat vats, and we can go on with our carnivorous delights and not a single animal need be killed anymore
And what happens to all the animals already bred specifically for meat eating? Would Cows end up an endagered species and bred only in Zoos?
Maybe we should go the other way and instead of encouraging companies to provide alternatives that will reduce the population of certain animals, encourage them to increase the population.
For instance the Siberian Tiger is currently critically endangered with only around 500 in the wild (according to Wikipedia). So if we changed the laws so that all new motor vehicles must be constructed using the processed remains of at least one Siberian Tiger then I guarantee that over-night the population of the Siberian Tiger would increase exponentially and it would no longer be considered endangered.
Why do some religious types feel they need to impart their beliefs on everyone else? He's the pope. It's his job to try and provide guidance for the ~1 billion catholics.
Just don't tell me what to do
If you read the article nowhere in that does the pope actually tell anyone to do anything. No sort of statement was made telling even Catholics that they had to behave in a certain way... he simply gave an ethical standpoint on certain issues. Guidance... not commands. A bit like a government department issuing GDAs for vitamins vs the government legislating that you must take a certain amount of Vitamin C every day.
I have a brain in my skull and I know how to use it independently So use it to RTFA
if it takes getting these idiotic laws and then breaking them en masse then so be it. Why would breaking the laws en masse help anything? Firstly how are you intending to break the laws, by putting out products with a non-compliant DRM? Copying protected content is already illegal and is already practised en-masse. It doesn't make it any less illegal though. It does not seem that the EU intends to change what you can or can't do with your MP3s / Videos / etc but to force manufacturers and developers to standardise - which can only be a good thing for consumers. If you buy something that is DRM protected and can only use it on one portable device (e.g. AAC/Fairplay and iPod) that is bad for consumers. If it is guaranteed that it can be played on any device that supports DRM that is better for consumers. It is also better for content makers as it makes it easier for them to prevent piracy. I'm not saying that DRM is a good or bad thing, I'm simply saying that if we have to have it (which at the moment it seems we do) then it is better for it to be standardised.
And finally, most Americans haven't protested fuel prices because it's an inconvenience, not an atrocity. Most of us just drive less, drive slower, and drive more efficient vehicles. Or because you aren't paying over $7.50 per gallon (currently 1 litre of fuel is over £1.00 which approxes to $7.50 per US gallon)./sarcasm
But can you prove that I had a second layer? Innocent until proven guilty and there is no way to prove that the massive pr0n collection wasn't what I was trying to hide. Trucrypt does not give away the presence of the second layer unless you know about it (and there is no analysis technique that can give its presence away).
I know if I had a massive pr0n collection I would want to hide it.
I'll probably get modded down for saying this but... Those figures are kind of redundant. The majority of people browsing the web use IE. Therefore the majority of webmasters make websites that look as intended in IE.
I used to work for a company where the attitude towards Firefow web browsers was "They are a small percentage of the browser market. If your page works in Firefox then that's great but if it doesn't we don't really care enough to fix it."
In other words it doesn't matter how much of the official standards IE supports because IE is a standard in its own right.
It is already the case that your PC requires a TV license if you use it to view broadcast content. Streaming a TV channel over the net counts and warnings were sent out by the BBC and TV licensing during the last football world cup saying that people watching games at work if the office did not have a TV license would be breaking the law.
Of course, I don't think anyone was actually prosecuted.
You may be interested to knwo that in the Old Testament there are essentially two distinct collections of books. As I understand it the first five are the Torah. The Torah is considered to be the Jewish collection of holy books and what they consider to be the word of God. The rest of the books are still held in high esteem however they are not necessarily the word of god, and most detail the adventures of the jews as they meandered around the planet.
The officer was called to investigate the possible crime of the shopkeeper unlawfully detaining Righi. He was not called to investigate a possible theft.
Yes but packet inspection can reveal a lot. My ISP blocks all unencrypted Usenet traffic during the daytime no matter what port it is on. They also block encrypted usenet on the standard port. The result? I use encrypted usenet on the HTTPS port:)
There is a downside that you don't mention though. When you pay for your own healthcare waiting lists are non-existent. In the UK hospital waiting lists are lengthy - I know someone who had to wait 8 years for a hip replacement operation.
I know that you can go private in the UK, but in general it costs more than it does in the US because so few people go private with their healthcare.
I'm not saying that the NHS is a bad system - just that it is not a perfect system. Personally I quite like it and I do not object to my tax money being used to treat those who do not work - because I also know that my tax money probably nowhere near covers the cost of my healthcare.
Additionaly - I have previously been connected behind NAT to my ISP when they had a problem with some equipment and were unable to use all of their allocated ISP addresses.
Also the fact that the alledged activities were happening at a certain IP adress is no proof of anything. That machine could be running a proxy service or a port redirection service - possibly unknowingly due being compromised by a worm or virus.
As far as I can tell there is one reason and one reason only why Apple is making Safari available on windows - it is so that people can develop widgets for the iPhone. So does it matter if some firefox bloggers don't like it or if some other random people think the interface isn't windows enough? No it doesn't. Safari is probably best thought of as a cunningly disguised devkit for the iPhone and releasing it for windows is a stroke of genius. It allows millions of would-be developers of little applications for the iPhone to develop them under windows.
Not only that I'll bet there are more people who have the skills to write a dashboard widget using a little bit of html and scripting than have the skills to produce the equivalent in windows mobile api. I'll bet that literally thousands of widgets appear for the iPhone in the weeks following its launch. Some of them will even be really good!
Blah blah blah, it crashes but it's beta software.
Blah blah blah I don't like it because it doesn't look like Firefox. I don't like it because it has different key combos to firefox. I don't like it because my eyes can't read Apple's brushed metal theme. Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah. I don't like the user interface. Blah blah blah blah.
1. Well done it doesn't look like Firefox. Most people won't care because it looks like iTunes which they already use happily. 2. Well done it has different key combos. I asked my mother if she had noticed. She was surprised to learn that a key combo could be used for selecting tabs. She thought you had to click on them. 3. Safari uses the brushed metal theme, see point number 1. 4. The user interface is not the user interface that firefox uses. Please see point number 1.
and given the legal power to impose fines of up to £80 for littering and other anti social behavior
No they can't: in England only a court may impose a fine, anything else is just a Penatly Charge Notice with an intent to prosecute if you refuse to pay.
The 1689 Bill of Rights says that Englishmen have freedom from fines and forfeitures without trial.

The BBC perpetrators would be extradited so fast they would not know what hit them.
Sadly true as we have a very one-sided treaty regarding extradition.
The BBC has a GeoIP database which they use to determine whether or not you are eligible to use services such as iPlayer. Whether or not they checked if the computers were in the UK I do not know, but they certainly could have done.
Windows will use idle time to copy your physical memory to your page file. This means that a lot of the time (especially the first time in a session you run out of physical memory) the page-out operation is free.
The logical sequence for this is a and b or c
No it isn't a?false:true should return false when a is true but by your logic it would return true.

bad analogy.
If I go to Russia and buy a CD which costs a couple of $$$ where it would normally costs about $15, then bring it back home, have I stolen anything?

As I'm not from the US - can someone please explain to me why Apple could not sell the device without sim-locking through its stores out there?
Let me sum up the story.
Blah blah blah, it crashes but it's beta software.
Blah blah blah I don't like it because it doesn't look like Firefox. I don't like it because it has different key combos to firefox. I don't like it because my eyes can't read Apple's brushed metal theme. Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah. I don't like the user interface. Blah blah blah blah.
