I don't know about this "suso" but I've been using uklinux for years and know that I've downloaded over 20gig some months without a whisper of complaint from them. Maybe I could abuse it to the point where they would object but I think I'd have to be really outrageous. As far as I'm concerned I have unlimited download.
Iceland is one of the most sparsely populated places on the planet. If they aspire to provide all their energy requirements without oil, they'll have a much easier time of it than most other countries. It's hardly reasonable to think that huge industrialised nations will be able to follow their lead.
It's a well known fact that Europe (and presumably the rest of the world) went through a cold period in the Dark Ages (approx 500 - 800AD). Such periods are common and known as "mini ice ages".
I'm racked off with all these environmentalist and climatologists telling us the worlds going to end. They've been predicting runaway feedback and environmental disaster forever and it hasn't happened yet. I'm sorry but after all the crying wolf that they've done I've reached the stage where I think they've got no f*****g idea how the world climate system works. We'd all have been dead 30 years ago if they'd got it even partly right.
Technically congress is barred by the Constitution from passing ex post facto laws
They've already done this by changing the law retrospectively to alter the terms under which a copyright work was realeased in order to extend copyright protection on works already published, thus illegally taking them out of the public domain and stealing the cultural heritage of US citizens.
Everyone knows that if people are allowed diverge linguisticly too far, then their descendants can't talk to each other any more. . . It's happening to English today
Is it? Or is English converging because of the great ease with which people from geographically seperated speech communities can converse using modern communication technology?
I've ignored people who asked me for help questions, not because I wasn't willing to help, but because I couldn't understand their broken English
It's a shame that you can't accept the wide variation in spoken English for what it is: evidence of a vital and diverse speech community.
Such strained conversations are mutally frustrating.
Where the language diversifies beyond mutual intelligibility natural forces tend to bring it back towards the center.
We should be creating common international language standards, not destroying what little linguistic consistance we already possess.
Do you think that in 1900 a Cajun American could have easily communicated with an Australian Drover or an English Geordie - I'll bet they could now.
If I walked into your garden and sat down that would be trespass but - TRESSPASS IS NOT A CRIME. You could sue me if you could prove damages (unlikely), but I can't be prosecuted.
OK, I'm not a lawyer either, but it's important that people know exactly how this law works.
a) When you're arrested the Officer will say "it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later come to rely on in court". Note the part in bold - when questioned means when you are in a police interview room being tape recorded, not standing in the street talking to some moron in a blue uniform. Coppers will often hope to bluff you with this.
b) If you request a solicitor the police are not allowed to question you until you've seen one.
c) When you do see a solicitor all you have to do is persuade him to agree that it would be a good idea not to say anything you don't have to. Then you can answer questions with "on the advice of my legal counsel I have no comment to make at this time".
d) It's almost impossible for a prosecuting lawyer to make anything out of a statement like the above in court.
e) If the police have sufficient evidence to support a case against you they are required by law to stop questioning you. Conversely - if they're questioning you then you know the case against you is iffy. Consequently you're onto a winner as long as you keep your mouth shut.
I tried to look up this new tracking system from United Virtualities but couldn't find much about it. This site says that it is "tied to the browser" which makes me hopeful that this will only affect IE users, but does anybody know any more about it?
your chances of talking your way out of the ticket are no doubt decreased if you lie to his face
These days (in the UK at least) traffic cops are there to generate revenue. Once they've got you on a radar gun NOTHING will stop them giving you the ticket. Feel free to express your real opinions of them. Personally I like to tell them that the reason police don't get the public support they used to is because they spend so much of their resources picking on motorist for profit instead of catching real criminals. Tell them they're a disgrace and ask them - is that why they really joined the police force and don't they feel a little ashamed.
It's water off a duck's back though obviously, the last two have just immediately started to quote accident statistics - wankers.
That's idiotically simplistic - ownership doesn't give you the right to make up any rules you like. Or do you think Disney should be allowed to refuse entry to Black, Jews, etc? Maybe just Muslims would be alright?
Laptops where I work are so locked down you can't install ANY software on them at all, can't change the configuration, etc. In fact the only access I've got is a hard disk directory for storing files. I thought long and hard about hacking it but decided it wasn't worth putting my job at risk over. Quite hard to hack as well - bios password, no built in disk drives (so no booting from cd or floppy), but I think a shatter attack might still work. Or if I can get at the sam file (possibly by taking out the hard drive) l0pthcrack should work.

Classic misdirection. The problem is that hardware manufacturers don't support linux not that linux doesn't support the hardware.

It would cut through a butter knife like a knife through butter.
Highly disputed.

Which is why community wifi projects are so important (and so vehemently opposed by corporate interests).

Illegal in America.
As a British Citizen who's spent time in America I can confirm that (in general) both stereotypes are reasonably accurate.

That's confusing! For a few seconds I thought you were talking about ConteXt which I don't think would make a good replacement for a text editor.

On the advice of legal counsel I have no comment to make at this time.

I use Privoxy - it does much more than just block ads.
But you could be someone else (identical twin, clone, fluke).
Wrong, it's my hardware - if they sold it and I bought it, it's mine.
If they wanted to sell you a copy of their specs, they would.
OK so you've got that right - they're under no obligation to provide specs.
Doesn't windows preload the MS office binaries into memory at system startup?

Unless you're bringing cargo down as well as taking it up . . . asteroid metal or zero g crystals for example.
