Well, getting back to the subject of the black box monitoring every move in my car; there is no way I would ever sign up for it. The ANPR cameras everywhere are bad enough, but I certainly wouldn't want someone knowing that level of detail about my movements. If the insurance bill ends up being higher as a result, I guess I will have to pay it.
For example, they don't send me adverts for make-up, perfume, baby food etc, because even if they offered it for free, no strings attached, I wouldn't take them up on the offer.
They would know for example whether or not you ever buy baby stuff, women's stuff, organic fresh vegetables, junk food etc, and adjust the ads to suit.
It is about reducing risk. If I have car insurance, I know I am going to be down £650 on the year. If I don't have insurance, I might be down £0 on the year, or I might be down £20,000,000 if I crash into a train. That probably won't happen, but if it did, there is no way I could afford it, so I'm giving up some money to avoid that possibility.
Also of course, I am required by law to either have car insurance or deposit something like £5,000,000 with the Attorney General to cover any claims. I don't have £5m sitting around, and if I did, I could make more than £650 per year elsewhere with it.
"Your own computers have been hacked into, how can you be sure the evidence wasn't tampered with. It could have been another member of the gang who changed the evidence to implicate me rather than him. The evidence isn't safe, you can't convict."
Including the warmest year on record, which happened exactly 15 years ago. This is an excellent example of the denialists manipulating statistics to their own ends.
(1)The following provisions of this section apply for the interpretation of section 4 above.
(2)In relation to an offence under section 1, either of the following is a significant link with domestic jurisdiction— (a)that the accused was in the home country concerned at the time when he did the act which caused the computer to perform the function; or
[F1(b)that any computer containing any program or data to which the accused by doing that act secured or intended to secure unauthorised access, or enabled or intended to enable unauthorised access to be secured, was in the home country concerned at that time.]
(3)In relation to an offence under section 3, either of the following is a significant link with domestic jurisdiction— (a)that the accused was in the home country concerned at the time when [F2he did the unauthorised act (or caused it to be done)] ; or [F3(b)that the unauthorised act was done in relation to a computer in the home country concerned.]
I think the default Android Market should be a "reviewed application" market. Android does allow you to side-load apps and use other App stores, so for that reason, it wouldn't be censorship in the same way that the Apple App Store is.
Both countries are in the EU, so in this case it doesn't need to be illegal in the country the suspect is in at the moment. the largest number of extradition requests in the UK is from poland for peole exceeding their bank overdraft limit or writing a cheque when their is insufficient funds in their account. That is not an offence in the UK where the most serious thing that can happen to you is you can get a £35 bank charge.
In the UK, one of the most popular sites in terms of the amount of data downloaded is BBC iPlayer. That is 100% legal, and you need a pretty fast Internet connection if you want to stream their high definition videos.
They own a slice of wireless spectrum which is supposed to be used for satellite communication, and they want to use it for ground based cellphone communication.
And forget the billions of ATM users for whom GPS is essential, even if they don't realise they are using it. ATMs use GPS to get an accurate time signal as knowing exactly what the time is is essential to its operation.
About 5m cable customers, 3m mobile customers, all their infrastructure stuff, and the stuff that their employees use. Yes, they probably are getting into that order of magnitude.
My local bus company trialled Ethanol buses on one of its routes, and found it was getting about 40% less miles per gallon compared with diesel. They have since converted the buses back to diesel and now have hybrid diesel buses on two of the routes.
Caesium 134 has a half life of about 2 years, and caesium 137 about 30 years. It is mostly gamma radiation, so that will get through the amount of concrete typically used to make walls.
Saving 20 mins between Birmingham and London is not the point of HS2. The reason for HS2 is to get Birmingham London passengers off the West Coast Mainline, to leave more space for local services that use the same line.
To use a car analogy, to drive from London to Birmingham, you can either use the motorways or drive on A roads. The motorways are designed for long distance traffic, and the A roads are for local traffic.

They have to carry charts for every airfield they might conceivably need to do an emergency landing in.

And if you have an accident while this box is disabled, your insurance will be void and you would be prosecuted for driving without insurance.

It is a long shot, but it could work.
It was through that incident that they found that he might also have hacked into Steam, which is of interest to the FBI.

No. It is illegal to:
o be in the uk while hacking a computer
o hack a computer in the uk
The relevant law is The Computer Misuse Act 1990 - http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1990/18/contents

I think when they say downloads, they mean "purchases". If you download again on the same google account, I don't think that increments the counter.

It is still very much the phone of choice for teenage rioters in England. That's probably not good for its image in the premium market.
Down 2.2% today at time of writing this, so it failed.

It happened in 1973. I missed it because It was before I was born.
