The last time I used Windows it had options related to "colors", and the last time I used a Mac there was a "trash can" on the desktop, so I'd argue that no localisation is carried out in a lot of commercial software.
Windows doesn't have a trademark because windows existed as a word before MS Windows. Googol isn't any different, it's just a word. So what if it was created relatively recently.
I thought for a second these wearable devices would be telling their wearers to shock people to death. But apparently it was based on another of Milgram's ideas.
I didn't know that until I saw it on the Open University. Mind you I was 7 at the time or some equally long-ago age. I didn't know A0 existed until I read that article though. Now maybe we need an article explaining American paper sizes to the rest of the world?
IIRC, the Data Protection Act means your data SHOULD be free (as in freedom) for you to view and you have the right for the data to be correct. Also, I don't believe the DPA allows the data to be taken out of the country and adequite protections must be in place to prevent the data from being accessed by people without the authority.
Will it be an offence if your card comes into `accidental' contact with something like microwaves.
Are they defending human rights, or simply trying to impose their own beliefs on people from other cultures?
People who don't want to circumvent censorship aren't being forced to as the writer seems to be alluding to.
"Here, have this censorship circumvention doodah." "Noooo!" "Well, you're getting it anyway!" "Noooo, I want to use the censored version of Google and be unaware as to the state of my government!"
"I mean if someone's accused they MUST be guilty, right?"
That's what the Ian Huntley case seems to be saying to me. He had accusations on his file therefore he's automatically a sex-offender. It turned out that he was but if somebody really wanted to they could ruin somebody's career by getting a few people to accuse a teacher, for example, of sex crimes then as far as I see it that person won't get a job if the accusations stay on their record.
I read the headlines on Slashdot just before I went into my physics (mock) exam this morning. If I'd just read part way down this topic I would probably have got 6 more marks or something because I forgot P=E/t. Argh! Although it was probably Slashdot that contributed to me not revising in the first place.
you'll find out he's been filing stupid lawsuits. Way to shoot yourself in the foot, Mark Maughan. Going to sue them all again for this result turning up?
(and Macs, etc - but I couldn't fit it in the title;)
Would be great for people who have to drive a lot who don't get chance to read their favourite geek blog. Or has it already been done? I'd certainly buy a laptop if I could use it while driving, in a non-dangerous way.
I use YaST but I've been getting annoyed at it recently. For a start it keeps trying to trick me into installing Java (which I'd rather not do) by telling me to insert the CD whenever I touch the install/remove part. Also, YOU won't let me NOT download certain updates which would take more than two hours to get - I get cut off every 2 hours and I'm only on 56k. That means I can't download ANY updates via YOU anymore. So I'm not very happy with YaST really.

You will have no problems.
Until you try to play it on your computer or car CD player as it's not `fair use' to use an audio CD in a CD-ROM drive according to the RIAA.

I saw something just like these on Tomorrow's World ages ago. Minus the privacy issues, of course.

The article isn't very clear.
DVD Jon has his work cut out for him.
If you search for the same thing on google.co.uk, it still displays the notice. But the DMCA is an American thing.

Like the British Inland Revenue.
Wait till the RIAA discovers Shazam's database...
In the UK at least

virus writers have been forced to include a non-warranty due to trojan horses posing as viri and DDoSing SCO and Microsoft.
"exaggerated.\n");
This is just one of them--a particularly onerous one--but since it's temporary and reasonably humane I don't think you can compare it to slavery.
Death and PTSD are humane?
