No because the spammer does not own property in the UK, spamhous do. they run a mirror of their servers from within the US, therefore they should either remove their servers from the country or abide by the laws and regulations placed in that country.
I would agree with you if they didn't reach into America, but on their site they say the following:
The Spamhaus Block List
The SBL is a realtime database of IP addresses of verified spam sources (including spammers, spam gangs and spam support services), maintained by the Spamhaus Project team and supplied as a free service to help email administrators better manage incoming email streams.
The SBL is queriable in realtime by mail systems thoughout the Internet, allowing email administrators to identify or block incoming connections from IP addresses involved in the sending of Unsolicited Bulk Email.
The SBL database is updated 24/7 by a dedicated international Spamhaus team (US, UK, NL, IT, CA, JP, CN) and is broadcast by 32 SBL zone mirror servers based in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, South Africa, Sweden, UK and USA.
Google cannot ignore the laws of the land where their servers are based, if they want to operate in foreign countries they should follow local laws.
I noticed this and thought about posting it as a dupe, but its not. Its an editorial and even describes and links to the slashdot discussion itself. I would put this under a slashback article if it were painted in the slashdot colours.
Also, how come the linux article can include slashdot as related links but slash itself cannot?
The GP was remarking not just on the lack of languages, but the simple fact that right out of the box on day one straight in front of you was a BASIC command prompt. You could load a game or write a program. Nowadays you have to choose before bootup (consoles) or go out of your way and find the language.
This is like playing tabletennis alone

They say that they are on a winning streak and that lightening strikes twice etc, well I just say they are continuing running a program which can handle large numbers. The longer they run it the more they will find. They are getting all the records because noone else is "trying" as hard.
Good luck that they get the 10million digits, but its just a pissing competition as far as I can see. They win 100,000 from the EFF for breaking it, but the computational power and time wasted has to be getting close to that itself.
In defense of the original poster, he asked a perfectly valid question. Thanks for answering. The description of the cell makes it as a super powerpc chip.
If I am getting my history correct, isn't this chip basically the evolution of the motorola 68000? Weren't powerpc chips the follow on with more data/address registers etc? Sorry if its a bit off topic, but if so then I gotta get me one of those. I enjoyed programming in 68k assembler (so much nicer than the stinkhole of x86).
Perhaps I should have engaged my brain a little before adding that final remark.
I am also a privacy nut and would also go mental if I couldn't disable it and in my own experience bluetooth is just a bit of fun for passing bits of info around, but I can see people needing it enabled for their own personal network.
I have bluetooth on my phone but have chosen to leave it disabled. Just because a person leaves their broadcast wireless network enabled doesn't mean it should be used for additional undocumented identification purposes.
I was actually comparing the switchable bluetooth with the fixed always on RFID which people complain loudly about (myself included).
How many times do you need to hear/see an advert for it to sink in?
This system is geared for that once only viewing:
As each passing device has a unique Bluetooth signal, this enables the screen to identify different individuals passing by. It builds a record of the adverts those people have been previously been shown to make sure messages are not repeated.
Surely advertisers want you to be paying enough attention to get the product information but to not drill it in 500 times a day.
Seems like a good idea, but the privacy advocates will go bananas (and demand it dismantled when all thats needed is to take out your bluteeth)
Excellent, thank you - I now know that my current and previous camera produce the information, but my first one doesn't.
Incidentally, after discovering this I found out I can add the Camera model as a column in the Details view of explorer. To do this, click "View" and select "Details". Then once it lists the details, right click one of the column headers and put a tick in "Camera model" (if its not shown, select "More" and it will give a dialog showing more available columns). The camera model will then be listed for all images in that folder.
Do all digital cameras produce exif information? I have had a few digital cameras now over the years which are just basic common models and have never had any need to examine the exif info.
Anyone know of the simplest way I can check for exif information on my historical images? (from Windows)
Actually, me venturing out of my cave is an easy problem - if I get eaten by a dinosaur it doesn't effect you.
However if the staple food stock is contaminated globally because of an oversight in the way the newly added genes interact then it does effect other people.
I just posted something similar in the eDonkey article. So, eDonkey wants to stay legit, good on them. They want to put in place controls to limit copying, good on them. They then give all their money to the bullys, bad move. Paying of the artists might seem like a prudent course of action, but once you pay of one group, what about the next?
Read up on what they are doing. The basic premise involves DNA testing the seedlings just after they sprout. They can then remove the ones which do NOT contain the feature and splice those. They don't have to wait for the plants to fully develop before deciding which strain to develop.
Natural selection. And the fact rice doesn't normally mate with fish hence never has essential scale proteins added (or whatever the enchancement is). We have had these tiny variations going on for billions of years and pretty much every available variation will have occured by now. The parameters that the current world stock uses are all tried and tested. There is no longterm proof that importing genetic modifications from outside the standard genome is a safe practice, we are only just scratching the surface. There was an article recently which wanted to use DNA testing to find and catalog the ideal features from within the genus of plant (durability/yeald/hardiness etc) and then use traditional plant breeding techniques to generate the required crop. This would appear to be a MUCH safer way to play god whilst still keeping it technologically advanced enough to appeal to the scientists. I have a feeling the "public" would be much more relaxed about growing crops in this manner.

Theres the RIAA, MPAA and the BSA. The guitar tab people and the knitting pattern folks and all the other American groups. Thats not including all the individual software companies who want a piece of the pie, nor does it include all the groups from other countries (like FACT(Federation Against Copyright Theft) or CAAST(Canadian Alliance Against Software Theft)).
What happens when I find software from my company is available on limewire, where do I get my piece of the pie from, or is mine not big enough and is simply enough to get it added to the list of banned searches without any financial payback?
What makes my company different to the RIAA groups?
Let the copyright owners prove blatant infringement, let them show the service is doing illegal things and let the service fix itself.
Didn't you know, Spore was due to be initially played on the gameboy?
Once you adapted beyond the single celled organism strong electromagnets in the cartridge would active drawing together a Beowulf cluster of gameboys. This multi cellular organism would then continue to grow evolving and adapting to the body parts of hundreds of children per organism. Once it reached a critical mass the rate of growth will slow (until measured in limbs trapped per hour) and will enter a cocoon state. Emerging from this fetid rotting mass will be a small group of supergeeks built from the blood sweat and tears of a thousand helpless gameboy addicts. They will go on to become EA programmers. Immortal, work hungry and with no need for sleep the title will at last be released on other platforms within a couple of work shifts.
I don't doubt it, but we were talking about the privacy protections a swiss account can bring. Apparantly there is none.
The thing that worried me more than strange complex liquid bombs and rare multi celled plots is the fact that around the UK in the very near future trucks will be rolling all around carrying crate after crate of fireworks for Bonfire night, the real terrorists are the groups of kids who launch mini attacks on old folks.
Actual terrorists actually aren't safe in swiss banks any more than they are in UK banks.
From the link you posted:
The only exceptions to this rule concern serious crimes such as gun smuggling and drug trafficking.
Being a terrorist buying explosives and terroristy things (balaclavas gloves fertiliser) will allow your account to be opened up wider than a prostitutes legs.

I have no idea about the second one though.
