And all this for just £400/month! Yep, that's how much of my money goes to the NHS.
You must be on one hell of a salary. I pay that much in TOTAL direct taxation not just that proportion which goes to the NHS. Unless of course you just can't do maths.
No. Code can be licensed under different terms to different people. If you own the copyright to it you can release it under the GPL with all that that implies and then release the same code under a completely different license with a different set of restrictions ie "you can have it for free under the GPL or you can pay me a million bucks and it's yours to do with as you wish". It's up to the person receiving the code to decide which license is best for them.
If Microsoft say "code uploaded here is done so under our license" you can't impose the GPL on them. You either choose to release it under their license or don't upload it.
A week ago I would have said you were a paranoid, FUD-spreading nutjob but now I have to agree with you. Novell have sold themselves out and I'm going to be deeply suspicious of anything they do from now on.
Or it might just have been a guess. I have email addresses which I have NEVER given to ANYONE and they still attract spam. These guys just randomly combine names with domains in the hope of hitting a live account.
There are a lot of crimes carried out against people which just could not be solved without the CCTV evidence or leads obtained from CCTV. CCTV really does make the world a safer place
If you're having to solve a crime then a crime must have taken place. CCTV has failed to prevent said crime from happening.
If there's one thing Microsoft know how to do, it's advertise the crap out of people. In the UK, when they launched their search engine, the advert was on in EVERY single break.
And still I don't know one person who uses it in preference to Google.
I think he means the registration plate (license plate I believe it is called in the US) on the back of the car. And mostly likely its recorded to catch people who drive off without paying.
From TFA : "They'll actually scan iTunes for purchased tracks and then automatically add those to your account. Microsoft will still have to pay the rights-holders for the songs, but they believe it'll be worth it to acquire converts to their new player."
Personally I don't see how this will work. I can't imagine Apple being too keen on it.
Nope. You can't do that either : "Fair use policy applies: Relax web 'n' walk and Flext web 'n' walk price plans provide unlimited internet surfing on mobile handsets in the UK.

3 out of 4 calls. http://www.londonambulance.nhs.uk/aboutus/facts/f
quite often an actual doctor will be traveling with the paramedics.
I've never yet seen that. Not denying it happens, but challenging its frequency.

Have you looked at job ads lately? Hundreds of VB(.net) jobs for every Python job.

Wow! I can barely see the gaps in your logic. If only it had been recorded on CCTV so we could watch in slo-mo as you go completely off track.
"Tivo did a deal with Sky. They're known as SKY+ in the UK."
Got a reference for that? Cause I got one that says you're wrong : http://www.garysargent.co.uk/tivo/TIVOvsSKY.htm
"become an abusive monopoly"
Adjectives count. Nothing wrong with being a monopoly. It's when you abuse that monopoly to control another market that it becomes a problem
For God's sake, it's because somebody must please think of the children!!
You're not working them hard enough
I'm sure this has nothing to do with security and a lot more to do with making money as in this experiment : http://www.computing.co.uk/computing/news/2165136/ airport-track-passengers

You've obviously never been to Coventry. The best thing that could happen to it would be another redecoration from the Luftwaffe
References? Evidence? Figures picked out of your arse?
Whatever turns you on I suppose.

In the UK interest rates went up yesterday. Last time I checked we were still in Europe.
I hope they're taking the Santa tracking equipment with them!
Let's hope the warning system is quicker than a speeding Slashdot editor. From TFA : "Publication Date 29-06-2006 8:00 am" - over a week ago.
