Unless you were being sarcastic, I'm pretty sure he was talking about the late term abortion procedure being illegal, not the photos of the results being illegal . ..
Not sarcastic toward knapper_tech, no, but rather toward those who display such images for whom it is by their own convictions the exploited nude remains of a dead child.
That's very useful when you run your country like a supermax prison. London has more camera surveillance than most of the prisons in my country.
I'd rather visit their former prison colony than the prison they've become. Apparently though this has not generally affected their World Tourism rankings.
So you don't think the version number should reflect the amount of changes from one version to the next?
The version number should not introduce ambiguities in its interpretation.
If it were to represent the amount of changes from one version to the next then it should contain a count of lines of code that were added and/or changed. Instead it is a count of revisions.
If the developer really thinks more went into updating 3.0 than is reflected in calling it version 3.1, then he should go to version 4.0 and no one would bat an eye. There's nothing wrong with jumping to the next major version with no intervening minor release revisions.
When a period is used to separate sequences, it does not represent a decimal point, and the sequences do not have positional significance. An identifier of 2.5, for instance, is not "two and a half" or "half way to version three", it is the fifth second-level revision of the second first-level revision, and would not be appropriate unless there had been a 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4.
While true that there's nothing preventing someone from being as wrong as he wants to be (or just quirky), if he's being honest about it 3.5 would really be 3½.0. Otherwise you're confusing the field separator with a decimal point.
Even better would be if it was LOCs per unit area. Then I'd have some idea of how happy you are to see me if that isn't a Library of Congress in your pocket.

No, but you might meet some of their representatives in person (for the first and last time IYKWIM) if you start implementing this and undercutting their networks.
You can make pictures *very* hard to trace. Just spam the server with pictures of your genitals. Hash that, suckers.

Amazon's DRM specifically limits sharing books from the Amazon store.
And apparently also prevents buying e-books for someone else. You can't put a Kindle Book in a Wishlist. You can't put them in your Shopping Cart. You want 20 books, you need to buy them with 20 One-Click(TM) purchases. Only if you already own a Kindle can you Save for Later a Kindle Book (and you can't access that data outside of your Kindles).
However I don't see how it would limit other book formats from being loaded other than the lack of software for doing so.
You can upload free e-books to your Kindle. Some formats require Amazon to encode them for you.
They'll still want to hold the photos for at least two years in case they discover later a crime was committed in the area (such as the discovery of a disposed body stuck in a sewer pipe for 21 months) and want to know who had cars parked in that area at the time of the crime.
If you get ticketed, you're always free to take your own photographs of the scene and bring them to court with you when you contest the ticket. Anyone can produce a photograph of the car parked legally whether the violation occurred or not, so such a photograph indicates nothing.
What if the photographs include the officer writing that ticket?
There have also been anecdotes of judges ruling contrary to the evidence at a reduced fine rather than dismissing. What can you do about a corrupt traffic court judge? Especially when you're not a resident of the jurisdiction?
People aren't nearly as perfect as you make them to be.

What piece of work is a man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals!

horrid pictures of late-term abortions that are already illegal everywhere as far as I know anyway
By what reasoning? Child snuff porn?
Thunderdome.

Then again, people still visit zoos.

When will we convince marketing types that version numbers aren't floats, that 3.5 is not halfway to 4.0
Says who? That's up to the software author to decide, isn't it?
Software versioning:
When a period is used to separate sequences, it does not represent a decimal point, and the sequences do not have positional significance. An identifier of 2.5, for instance, is not "two and a half" or "half way to version three", it is the fifth second-level revision of the second first-level revision, and would not be appropriate unless there had been a 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4.

And here I'd already used a combination of EditCSS and Repagination to do it for myself when I could have just used the Print link.

It looks like they also will be upping the next major release to v3.5 to better show the significance of the release.
Oh god. I thought we were passed this.
Really? I thought we were past this. It's more like passing time than passing gas.
When will we convince marketing types that version numbers aren't floats, that 3.5 is not halfway to 4.0, and 2.11 and 2.1.1 are different things?

If people want to throw a dollar sign in the word "Micro$oft", then we need to through a couple in with Apple: "A$$le"
I prefer Appl€. With the exchange rate, it's pretty much the same thing.
(It's "€".)

It's creepy in the way The Twilight Zone adaption of the story "Button, Button" is creepy.
Shouldn't they be trying to get the Wii MotionPlus to market?
So in the game you can create game adventures you play on terminals in the game you play on your terminal?
Can I create a game in the game where the goal of that game is to create a game?
Their aim is getting better. They will hit us eventually if we don't do something about those Bugs, soon.
Would you like to know more?

Loosen the screws a little, put some putty in the seam, tighten it down again, shave off the excess, and let it cure.
Otherwise, just wait for it to accumulate enough dead skin cells and body soil to fill it in.
