Sounds great... I think the Thai authorities might actually reserve you a room at one of their top hotels - the legendary Bangkok Hilton (you'll have to share the room of course - with about 20 other 'guests');p
Nope, in the UK it's always been until 12 noon. Or at least it has been for the past century as far as I can gather from my more elderly relatives.
The 'All Fools Day' means that everyone is capable of being the fool. If you fall for it before 12, then you're the fool. If you play the joke after noon then you're the fool.
Hey, this is great, my machine just typed that by observing my facial gestures! I didn't realise Safari already had this built in
Oh, but aren't 'facial gestures' normally called 'expressions'?;P
Imagine the fun you could have if this was real - having a default action that recognised some of the more well known 'first goatse' expressions. It could learn them from the flickr group
Yes, that's how it works. If you're broadcasting a music on radio or TV programmes to members of staff or public you need an entertainments licence.
The difference here is that it's not a local authority demanding she pay for an entertainments licence, it's the PRS who collect/distribute royalties for performing artists in the UK. Which makes this a whole different ballgame.
Presumably the PRS believe that because she is playing music which they're responsible for collecting royalties on then she is liable (as is any workplace with a radio that can be heard by multiple members of staff), but she could easily sidestep them by playing a talk radio station instead - no music, nothing for the PRS to collect. Of course she'd still need a licence officially, but that's a matter for her local authorities to follow up and no business of the PRS.
What is worrying is that many ISPs and webhosts around the world may start to block UK IPs from accessing material on sites they host on their servers to avoid UK legal action (if it can't be accessed from the UK then how can it be prosecuted under UK law, right?).
This could be the great UK firewall the government has been fighting hard for, but so far failing to achieve. Except that this would be imposed by everyone OUTSIDE of the UK, leaving us all isolated and we'd have no way to fight it.
But FB contains 'privacy settings' allowing you to set varying levels for different items/data/movies/images you post. You can allow them to be viewed publicly by anyone, or just by your 'circle' of friends (including people not on your friends list who are merely 'friends of your friends'), or just by people directly on your friends list, or by you alone.
So what you post on FB isn't necessarily any more public than the files you hold on your local machine connected to the tubes. If you proactively restrict access to those files, then it's an invasion of your privacy for the govt to snoop.
I truly hope it means something about incestuous relationships with elderly relatives in a South American Amazonian tribe's local dialect. Imagine the first time they ever see TV - "welcome to the syfy channel"... ALL OUT WAR!!! heh
Your logic is flawed. To 'allow' someone to do something you MUST know about it. If you have no knowledge of the act being committed then you have neither allowed no disallowed it.
If someone steals a a fence post from your garden without your knowledge and uses it to beat someone else to death, are you liable because you 'allowed' them to steal the weapon? Or are you actually a victim of a separate crime?
Does anyone who proposes a law based on a sports metaphor deserve to be a lawmaker? It's just immature and lacks any kind of intelligence - just like the sport the metaphor is drawn from.
US moneyed interests think up some new globally hegemonic business plan and/or legislation.*
The US political 'allies' (better known by the local indigenous populations as 'lapdogs') step in to help spread this insidious new plan/legislation to their own parts of the world by helping to steer it through the local legislative processes for a personal cut of the profits.
Profit!
And voila, we have finally solved the underpant gnomes' quandry and sold our individual nation states down the toilet for a backhander. Well done the politicians.
*Disclaimer: not ALWAYS US moneyed interests - quite often also EU moneyed interests too, but much of this seems to originate in the US, such as the RIAA/MPAA getting local arms of the same gang (MPC, MPA, PRS) involved. Once we have been successfully subjugated, expect to see versions coming your way too, once they work out how to break through the legal wall of the constitution.
No, it showed that somebody using that IP address had downloaded a movie. It doesn't prove who it was. It COULD be you, or your spouse, or a child in your household. Or it could well be your neighbour or someone parked outside your house - they're not proving that the bill payer downloaded the file or even willingly provided a service to do so.

I thought New Jersey was a point of ARRIVAL not departure. Or was Being John Malkovich NOT a documentary!?!?!?
...dark?
No, no, no. Given that we're at GMT, that means all we'll ever amount to is zero! ;)

It's a karmic thing ;)

...does TFA let us know when Duke Nukem will be released?

Even still, I think it's a good idea to grow your own wherever possible...
Are you advocating growing cannabis? hehe ;)
Or as we call it in these tech-savvy 18-34 year old times, the nybrhud :D
Even better :)

No, I didn't note yours as being first either. Hmmm the odd spill-over effect of the syfy name-change seems to be bending spacetime.
Hang on, I think that means you WERE first. Dang, I must've been THIRD!
They didn't consider their Welsh-speaking demographic. To them the channel now reads (phonetically) soo-foo. Haaahaha!
Doh... second. boo!
...actually most kids would text SF coz it's shorter!
...neither allowed no disallowed...
no = nor

Apparently, he didn't submit his plans for patent for a long time, and then the day after he finally submitted them he died... what a bummer!
