Problem is that it doesn't necessarily cover all your fee's just those the court finds reasonable. Also it doesn't compensate you for all the lost time preparing your case with your lawyers and worrying about it.
If!
There were a lot of rUK voices not heard yesterday, hopefully they will be heard during the negotiations with Scotland et all, especially considering we will have a general election coming up soon!
I know apple have tried hard to get the labels to sign up to a music streaming service. Perhaps they bought beats because it already had a contract in place with the major labels, thus removing all of the complicated negotiations?
Since the merger of Orange and T-Mobile, EE have been cost cutting by shutting down cell towers with overlaps. This sounds reasonable, but it's having a huge effect on signal strength and quality.
Initially they denied there was a problem, now they can't hide the fact the service is suffering.
So if you're a business with £8 million in your pocket, make sure you do your due diligence and check coverage in your area! Remember what you check now might not be there when you want to use it, as EE are still decommissioning towers!
I've tried many 'smart' watches, Pebble is the only one that gets it right. Simple notifications coupled with a decent battery life, down to a custom and simplified OS. i'mwatch and the cuckoo just didn't cut it.
You could deliver the content via iTunes. Sure it has DRM, but it's not very obtrusive, there's plenty of evidence showing people paying for content through the iTunes store. You'll have to give up 30% to apple however.
I had a french car once (or twice) a Peugeot, it was a diesel. I had a situation where I couldn't turn it off. Keys out everything, nothing worked, it just kept running, eventually I managed too stall it. This is different to TFA as the accelerator wasn't stuck, but it might be a contributory factor.
I consume my books mostly in audio form now days, even with great voice acting Anathem was a hard and long 'read', but I'm glad I persisted as taken as a whole it was a great book.
So the first thing that happens with any tragedy is that people make jokes about it. It happened with 9/11, it happened with 7/7 it's happened throughout history. Some people use it as a form of therapy. It's part of our coping mechanism.
You'd be surprised at the things hackers made the '81 do. I remember sound generation by playing with the screen refresh code, no don't ask me how, but I remember trying it out.
Also there was code where people managed to get some colour out the the '81, again I think by playing with the refresh code, but I can't remember exactly, it was a LONG time ago.
Lastly there were hardware 'fixes' for the lack of colour, here's a post I found on the 'nets:

I've already had a reply from one of them (Andrew Duff)!...
Thank you for contacting Andrew about the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement.
I can assure you that I will forward your email to Andrew so that he can read the specific points you make.
Andrew is not on the committee that specialises in these issues, but has been following developments closely along with his group colleagues, the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats in Europe (ALDE).
He recognises that some of ACTA's aims are valid, but also has real concerns that - as with so much legislation in this area - its implications for privacy and freedom may be more serious than is currently understood, and is seeking greater assurance on these points.
Throughout negotiations on ACTA the ALDE group has called for greater transparency and tabled a resolution in September 2010 asking the Commission for all relevant studies and impact assessments before signing the agreement. ALDE colleagues have sponsored many of the Parliamentary questions on this matter.
Negotiations were finalised in November 2010 and the relevant parties are now in the process of ratifying the Agreement through their internal procedures. In the EU this means that both the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers must give their approval. The Council adopted a decision on December 17th authorising the signature of ACTA, and the text now passes to the European Parliament for ratification. The International Trade Committee (INTA) and the Legal Affairs Committee (JURI) have already asked the Parliament’s Legal Services for advice on the agreement, and then the INTA Committee will produce a report with input in the form of opinions from the Development Committee (DEVE), the Industry, Research and Energy Committee (ITRE) and the JURI Committee.
On 24 November 2010 the European Parliament adopted a Resolution in which we called on the Commission to confirm that ACTA’s implementation will have no impact on fundamental rights and data protection. MEPs welcomed the Commission’s confirmation that the ACTA provisions will be fully in line with EU law and that neither personal searches nor the so-called ‘three strikes and out’ procedure will be introduced. The Parliament also emphasised that any decision taken by the Commission as part of the ACTA Committee must not unilaterally change the agreement’s content, and that therefore any proposed change must be approved by the Parliament and the Council.
ALDE will finalise its decision on whether to support the agreement or not once the legal advice and INTA committee report are available and only if concerns about interference with internet freedoms and other civil liberties can be assuaged. Until then it is not possible to have a fully informed position on this issue.
In the meantime I attach a couple of interim briefing documents I have received on the issue, which are designed to address some of the specific criticisms that have been levelled at these proposals.
Thank you once again for contacting Andrew about this issue. I hope this response has been helpful.

You've contradicted yourself. You say in the first breath "Yes it does" then you go on and place a limit. Exactly what I said.
Problem is that it doesn't necessarily cover all your fee's just those the court finds reasonable. Also it doesn't compensate you for all the lost time preparing your case with your lawyers and worrying about it.
It's great seeing the police "get it". What a great idea, I hope it takes off!
Will break my bones, but do we really need more legislation?
If! There were a lot of rUK voices not heard yesterday, hopefully they will be heard during the negotiations with Scotland et all, especially considering we will have a general election coming up soon!
Same in the UK and Europe. Want to do business here? Then abide by local laws, simples.

I'd ask Weev his opinion on disclosure! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weev

"Stable Platform" - The most important phrase in your post. Developers love this. I know, I'm a developer.
You wouldn't want it to be infringed upon would you?

Me too. However that doesn't change the fact that comedy and jokes are used in therapy.
So the first thing that happens with any tragedy is that people make jokes about it. It happened with 9/11, it happened with 7/7 it's happened throughout history. Some people use it as a form of therapy. It's part of our coping mechanism.
Also, when installing most Safari updates through the software update tool, a system restart is required. WTF?
It's going to be a pain, I promise. Don't waste your time. Get an Air or Chromebook and save yourself loads of trouble.
