No we don't. We have nothing like what the US take for granted here. Not even close. In fact, the US has just brought in laws stopping their citizens for coming here to persue libel actions against US citizens. Libel laws is one half of our censorship (you can't even report on the fact that you've received an injunction from saying something about someone); the other half is National Security and the lack of a meaningful Freedom Of Information system. People in the UK routinely host stuff in the US (and elsewhere) for precisely this reason.
It's what Google is getting away from too, with its plan for a slimmed-down future release of Android having all the apps as downloadable (by the end user) apps, to free up memory, allow users to choose what to install and provide fewer excuses for the likes of Orange to delay OTA updates.

It definitely wasn't correct; in the play it was suggested that that was what you'd need to do to cause chaos.
But yes, I recall a guy in Japan who mailed hundreds of random people with "I know what you did - pay £1000 or I go to the police". He got loads of money! He also got convicted of blackmail. I don't see a great deal of difference between him and the lawyers...
Yes, but will VLC still stutter and pause a few times during the first couple of seconds of playback of an audio file, like it always has for me on every version of Ubuntu I've ever used? Is it really so hard to just buffer it before starting to play it (assuming it's a buffering problem)?
Also, unless you change the default settings, opt out, and keep up wit the changes, other people will be allowed to read your email, and send email on you behalf.
Yes, 2nd isn't bad, but they'll overtake RIM soon I'm sure. Currently Apple are nowhere in terms of sales this (last etc) month. Yeah, there are more iPhones out there at the mo, but that's going away soon. Apple can't hope to compete in the medium-long term against the tens of companies releasing Android phones/tablets.
It hardly makes sense to attack Google for using this new system because the old system is popular on phones. Google is *owning* phones right now, and is on target to be behind the leading OS in the next year or so. (They're also going to be pushing their new Chromium OS pretty hard soon, so they'll have an interest there too). And Chrome isn't doing too badly at the mo either.
No it doesn't. Did you not read it? It said she complied with subsequent checks. Not sure how you collaborate with a measure rather than conform to them, but she didn't conform to the measures in as much as she breached them then had a hissy fit when this was pointed out to her. This situation was paraphrased perfectly by the person you were replying to.
Suppose you live somewhere where you're not allowed to run an open Wifi point, and you're required to use a password. Well...use this one. Unless they're going to start legislating a list of approved passwords.
harmful? Cough syrup? Morphine? Cocaine? Probably the most harmful stuff he's consumed is alcohol and tobacco, and he's no more or less lucky than any other consumers of those particular drugs.
Well, you're wrong, aren't you. This stuff has been around years, you see it on security vans next to the words "100% conviction rate". Why have a simple camera? Because they're shit - you ever recognized anyone from a picture from one? Burgler alarm? What's that going to do - make a bit of a noisewhile the burglar is stealing stuff? Why would the thief care about that? When the police eventually manage to capture a thief, they can check his skin/clothes for this stuff and know where he's been stealing from - why else would he have this marker on him?

I'm thinking that there are some words missing from the title. "May not be far...." what?
...of the Rhinos?

Gmail, maps etc ARE the core apps. What were you thinking about?

Making points by asking questions? Yes. Really annoying habit? Of course? Did you learn this by watching dumbed down US tv news? Certainly.
Could what be any more... etc?

The iFad blended pretty well...

You need a phone with a capacitive screen then...

And vice-versa. If Oracle keep it up, people might decide to stick with OpenOffice after all.

It has one - it's not APE (probably the most pointless format ever).
Cool. Now if Orange could just provide coverage for..oh, I don't know... CENTRAL FUCKING LONDON then that would be great.
Rule number 3 - ad blockers are free. Use them.
How can they do that, given the license the source is released under?

According to UK law you are, too!
