Kernels do boring things like allow applications to interface with computer hardware. If it is working as it should, you shouldn't notice the kernel at all. If I put a "linux system" and a "free bsd" system side by side, both running the KDE desktop, people would not and should not notice any difference between the two. If you swap the KDE desktop for Android, the interface in a typical TV set or the Ubuntu Unity Interface, but leave the linux kernel in place, people will definitely notice the difference.
People from the UK and Ireland will certainly know what Argos is. For everyone else, you can order various things from a catalogue, either in-store or online, visit the store, and the stuff gets sent from the warehouse to the front desk by conveyor belt for you to pick up. They claim they sell more iPads than anyone else in the UK, including Apple.
The point is that there are two problems with Argos's listing for that Samsung slab.
1. The describe it as running Windows 8, when it runs Windows RT. People will buy it expecting to be able to run normal Windows software on it, and will be disappointed. 2. They encourage people to buy Norton Mobile Security with it. That program won't install on either Windows RT or Windows 8. They claim it will work on Android and iOS. I struggle to understand how it will install on a non-jailbroken iDevice, or how it can be anything more than a placebo with side-effects on either platform.

Ultimately they do pay for it. The education should mean they get a better, higher paying job, and pay more tax on that higher income.
Contracts don't allow you to rewrite the law of the land, so if the contract doesn't agree with the first sale doctrine, the contract has to give way, not the first sale doctrine.
"Word" and "Illustrator" are descriptive and you can use them in your word proceesing and vector graphics applications. "Microsoft" and "Adobe" are not descriptive. They identify the word processing and vector graphics applications made by those respective companies, and are trademarked.
The big difference is that DRM prevents people from reading the book on anything other than a WH Smith approved device, either their own e-book reader, or iDevice/Android app if they have one. RFID tags on shop merchandise get deactivated when you pay for the product, and don't affect your ability to use the product.
Now that music downloads are DRM free, I can go to lots of different stores and find out which one is selling the track I want at the cheapest price. That is not possible with ebooks or video download purchases.
Wheel clamping is illegal in the UK. I'm not entirely sure about Northern Ireland, but it has always been illegal in Scotland, and was made illegal in England and Wales a couple of years ago.
"British Law", whatever that might be [1] only applies to people living in Britain. Having it in the licence means you aren't allowed to break it even if you are outside the country.
[1] There's English/Welsh law, Scottish Law and Northern Irish Law. They are similar in many ways, but three different legal systems.
Well, I use my TV as a monitor. And I pretty much always watch on-demand stuff now rather than linear broadcasts. A TV card in my computer replaces a video recorder.
My phone has replaced my watch, my alarm clock, my diary, my address book, my collection of pocket maps, my news paper, my radio (mostly pre-downloaded podcasts rather than streaming), my music player and my camera. I do have an SLR camera for taking proper photos, but I use my phone for point and shoot. Within the next few years it will likely replace my travel card and my credit card.
In the UK, normal LED bulbs designed as plug-in replacements for incandescent and CLF bulbs typically cost about £13. The Philips Hue bulb, which can change colour with a remote control costs about £50.
The majority of people who buy Android slabs do so because they are cheaper than iPads. The first generation of Android slabs were priced the same or more expensive than iPads, and they didn't sell very well at all.

Android is not GNU/Linux. It contains the Linux kernel, but has the Android operating system in place of the GNU operating system.
They could buy one of them, but anti trust regulations would prevent them buying the rest.
AOL did do that during the dot.com boom, and it didn't work out well for them. I think that would discourage Google from doing the same.
Anyone taking photos of airport security is treated as a terrorist.

I'm guessing you would go via India, but probably you would have to buy two tickets with different airlines.
US to Europe in just under 3 months is not faster than light. Even a steam ship could manage it in that time.

Budweiser in the UK comes from both. - http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/#/Shopping/FindProducts.aspx?Query=budweiser
Which is why products like AbiWord don't have a problem.
Yes, the Real Academia Española for Spanish Spanish. Obviously that doesn't apply to for example Mexican Spanish.
As others have pointed out, English is unusual in that it doesn't have a central language authority regulating it.
You could buy Adobe products at retail price in the US to export to Australia and still have plenty of headroom to make a very decent margin.
It was made illegal on 1 Oct 2012.

The applicable law in the UK is the EU Copyright Directive, which applies to Belgium as well.

A brush according to TFA.

I can assure you that it would be much less scary to go from Windows XP to Mountain Lion or Ubuntu than it would be to go to Windows 8.
