I'm not so sure about RMS. Yes, I agree with most of what he says, but not how he says it, and he comes across as a nutter to the non-techie public, and most of the techie community as well.
Besides we'll have him refusing to read emails that are sent from an insufficiently free *GNU*/Linux distribution.
You would only list them if you want something specific to happen to that particular account. Eg you want to leave your Nationwide Account No: 12345678 to your daughter, and your Abbey Account No: 87654321 to your son.
But generally when you do want to do that, you set up some sort of trust account, and it moves according to the terms of the trust and is completely outside of the will.
But you can keep it as a separate information sheet alongside your will. You have to make it clear that it isn't part of the will, and don't refer to it at all from the will itself.
In Scotland they have 300/200/100 yard warning signs before the speed limit changes in the villages. I guess that must reduce the number of tickets people get.
In my view a good speed cop is one that never tickets anyone because everyone is obeying the speed limit.
The bottled tap water is 15p for 2l, but that doesn't count in my book, or in most people's book in Europe. When Coke tried to sell Dasani tap water here at £1.29 for two litres, they were not very successful.
I would have hoped in these enlightened days, three lightbulbs would be code for 33W, but I fear you are probably right. Anyway, a 2l bottle of water costs 28p round my way, so why would I want to pay 30c for a litre of dehumidified water.
It might be, if it can't be assigned to any other sort of intangible asset, but given that they aren't keeping the Transmeta name or anything like that and their main motive in buying the company is to use the technology in their own products, I would think it probably is intellectual property.
True but they are not supposed to hold excessive reserves, and they need to show how they plan to spend any excess money. Holding a bit aside in case of emergencies is obviously fine, beyond that, they need to be able to show that they have some project in the pipeline - maybe the next Outlook/Exchange killer, and that their surplus monies are the funding for it.
For trains / tube, you are charged on exit, or if you don't exit. Otherwise it would have to ask you where you are going when you enter the station, and that would take time.
Buses have a flat fare to anywhere in London, so you are charged on entry there.
The problem is that London's transport system can't cope the the volume of passengers that use it at the moment. Make it free, and the whole system will completely melt down from the number of people using it.
Very few people drive to work in London, as parking is way more expensive than public transport, and there is congestion charge on top.
Focus a small car? If you went into a Ford dealer in England and asked for a small car, they would point you towards the Ka. The Focus is a pretty average sized car here.
You are talking about in-house software which employs about 90% of programmers out there. People will continue to commission that sort of software regardless of the copyright model or lack of one. The only difference free software makes is that they will have a pool of free libraries to use which will make development cheaper and the end product more reliable.
He's said in the past that he doesn't have a problem with Trademarks as long as it is easy to remove them.
It's all part of the idea that you should make it clear that you modified the program so that the original programmer's reputation isn't harmed by any bugs you introduce.
In Northern Ireland, they are operated by Ulsterbus, a government owned company. In London, Transport for London subcontracts the routes out to private companies who are paid by the mile for driving buses on TfL's behalf.
In the rest of the country, you just need to get the appropriate licences, which is a bit like getting a licence to drive a car, but more expensive, and you can run bus services wherever and whenever you want. Yes, local authorities may subsidise companies to run services which would otherwise not be profitable, and they arrange school bus services in much the same way that TfL arranges all bus services in London.

You can run Tom Tom on a Windows Mobile phone. I do, and it beeps at me every time I approach a revenue camera.

Why not just switch to another ISP? Nobody is forced to use BT.
Tiscali are quite keen to get you to switch everything to them, as are TalkTalk. But TalkTalk are also involved in Phorm so don't switch to them.

Intel's employees already pay tax on their income. Intel probably also pays property taxes on its plants.
The other people that could pay tax on it are Intel's shareholders when they receive dividends.

An IRS audit is in addition to the usual annual audit.
And it is just business sense to sell it to the highest bidder.
Have you looked at their accounts? Their profit margin is much higher than the likes of Microsoft.
It's c:\users\jonathan\downloads - substitute jonathan for whatever your username is obviously.
It's £1.50 on Oyster, and most people have Season tickets which cost even less per journey.

Or even just has a dial up account that gives you a different IP address every time you connect.
Or here http://gutenberg.net.au/ with some worries of lawlessness depending on which country you are in, but no feelings of guilt.
