More seriously, if Customes and Excise ever catches up with the vendor, it may have to pay the VAT, and it therefore has an interest in collecting it from you first.
You have always (since 1973) had to pay VAT on physical goods imported into the EU from the Channel Islands, or from the Isle of Man, or from Gibraltar (which, unlike the others, is legally in the EU). If you are travelling by air or boat, there is a customs post.
First, most of the launches go wrong, so they get improved.
Second, the spacecraft hardware goes wrong, so that gets redesigned.
Third, the software goes wrong, so more work is needed there.
It looks as if the testing and debugging starts at the begining and works through the mission. I suppose this will eventially work, but it seems to be an expensive way to do it.
"For instance, now," [the White Queen] went on, sticking a large piece of plaster on her finger as she spoke, "there's the King's Messenger. He's in prison now, being punished: and the trial doesn't even begin till next Wednesday: and of course the crime comes last of all."
"Suppose he never commits the crime?" said Alice.
"That would be all the better, wouldn't it?" the Queen said Lewis Carroll, Alice Through the Looking-Glass
When is RIAA going to sue Sony for producing the net minidisc walkman recorder? It has the "ability to record from multiple sources (PC, Portable CD, Home CD Unit, Radio)", though presumably not copy-protected non-CDs produced by Sony. Does it matter that Sony is an RIAA member?
Smart land mines would protect troops' flanks under one project at the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The mines, connected wirelessly, could hop from the ground to fill voids if the minefield is breached.
Under the rules of war, minelayers are required to keep accurate maps - not so easy with autonomous mines. Cleaning up afterwards would be almost impossible.
It seems to be a patent for allowing one to "fast forward" through customized lists of VOD programs.
It may be even narrower than that. It could be restricted to changing the speed at which the lists scroll themselves. M$ even seem to have thought of letting the lists scroll in either direction.
The Latin plural for virus would have been viri, but it wasn't used because the Latin for men was also viri (plural of vir). So reading the earlier post as "I think it will lead to another IM spam engine and more men" is possibly closer to the mark for most/. readers.
Why force each postal system to adopt a uniform coding scheme? Why not let them keep their coding schemes and append a country code to the front.
It is already done in Europe.
GB SW1A 1AA is enough if you want to write to Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace. Most other people also need a house number.
(It might help if there was a consistent designation: the British seem to use GB or UK for different things - it might have something to do with not putting a country name on stamps and coins).
FR 75008 will get your letter to the right part of Paris for President Chirac, but you would still need a house number and street name (55, rue du faubourg Saint-Honoré).
There is a difference between the police collecting fingerprints for a particular investigation and the government mandating that everyone be fingerprinted.
Yes, but neither is as bad as the authorities keeping a partial set of fingerprints or DNA from past investigations.
The real issue is that of false positive matches without true positive matches. This is low if the authorities do not keep information over time - since they will only test a small number of suspects each time. It is also relatively low if they have a complete database of the population - they will get false positives, but since they will probably also get the true positive, any match will not be used as conclusive proof. But with a large partial database (as happens now) the chance of a single positive being found, and that positive being false, becomes much higher.
There was certainly a State Religion in England under King Edward VI and Queen Elizabeth I (Acts of Uniformity 1549 and 1559). It was not the same as the Calvinist reformation in Scotland, but then the countries did not unite until 1707 under Queen Anne. After some complications under Mary I, Cromwell, and James II, relief for Protestant dissenters started in 1690 (Toleration Act), and for Roman Catholics in 1778 (Catholic Relief Act), which between them effectively ended the idea of a State Religion.
That being said, the Church of England is still the established church in England, the monarch is required to be in communion with it and appoints the bishops on the advice of the prime minister (though the prime minister is not required to be a member). Some of its bishops still have seats in the House of Lords, and Parliament can in theory change its rules, liturgy and doctrine. It does not get state financial support, though it does own a lot of property, and it benefits (like other religions) from charity law.
The first British Empire (essentially north east America and the Caribbean) was full of people not members of the established churches in England or Scotland - indeed religion is why many of them had left Britain. The second British Empire (in Africa, Asia and the Pacific) was based even less on uniform religion - and many British missionaries were not from the established churches. Indeed religious tolerance may have helped the British in India when compared with the French and Portuguese, though a good navy and army helped too.
It has two established churches: one in England and another in Scotland (but none in Wales or Northern Ireland). Queen Elizabeth changes religion when she crosses the border.
IANAL, but I would have thought that putting your own GPL work on AOL was fine, so long as you accepted that you had given a total licence to AOL to do whatever they wanted (non-GPL). You would also give a personal non-commercial licence to other users to use it, so presumably could add the GPL to allow them to modify and distribute it.
Putting someone else's GPL work on AOL would seem to be in breech both of the GPL under which you had obtained it, and of your agreement with AOL.
You cannot turn a circle into a square with the same area using classical origami, since pi is transcendental and the rules of origami lead to a restriced set of algebraic numbers.
But if you were allowed to roll up a piece of paper into a cylinder which exactly fitted the circle, then you might have a chance: you could then certainly turn the circle into a rectangle, and from there it I would have thought into a square.

AOL are going to Luxembourg, which is in the EU. They will not save any VAT, but may avoid some administrative costs.
No, that was Income Tax. VAT was introduced in the UK in 1973 when it joined the European Communities.

It depends on who "you" are: they have only tested it on other animals so far.

In the medium term, the greater risk seems to be from rising groundwater, presumably resulting in London floating off down the Thames.
