"Et" can also mean "also" - "I also in Arcadia" - and although I'm not aware of it as a Latin idiom, Greek allows a sentence without a verb where the verb is presumed to be "to be". Your suggestion
Or the "I" could be a Roman numeral one
is clearly nonsense, since "ego" isn't written "I" in Latin.
It's one thing to try and claim that p2p is being 'abused' by the users but when you develop something to hide where the data is coming from you're doing it to hide illegal activity.
Nonsense. Protocols which allow anonymity have been around for years, because academics who do research on security are notably paranoid.
In what sense is any natural language a formal language? The OED adds words in response to their use by journalists, etc. rather than journalists starting to use words because they've been added to the OED.
If you have to measure everything precisely when cooking, then I'm surprised you have the confidence to cook for guests. It doesn't take much experience of cooking before you learn that precise quantities don't matter: what matters is being able to judge when you've got enough of something. So, for example, my sponge recipe calls for 75g of marge, but I scale it down to 50g and add more if needed.
I saw an interview on the BBC a couple of days ago with the US' deputy ambassador in London, and the interviewer asked what the abuse photos were doing to the war for hearts and minds. The diplomat didn't seem to think that an odd question, which surprised me. I'd rather got the impression that the US left hearts-and-minds warfare to the Brits.
I have - it's one of the things I've noted in the margins of my printout of the consultation document (120 pages of PDF). Comments are invited, closing date is the 20th of July. I suspect the government's answer will be that it allows banks and other non-government parties to check your biometrics without having access to the National Identity Register.
Bear in mind that arithmetic encoding would only be patentable in the US. It could create problems for Sourceforge, but it's unlikely to create problems for the BBC.
It was a "rest of world" comment - "football" isn't the only word whose meaning is different in the U.S. to the rest of the world. To the rest of the world (except Canada), hockey is what Americans know as field hockey. Hence the International Hockey Federation and the International Ice Hockey Federation.

Astounded.
I'd love them to sue me, because it would be so much fun watching them explain why the US courts have jurisdiction over me.
I think you'll find that the Triad mob system was actually in Hong Kong.
The grandparent should be Offtopic and the parent Insightful, not the other way round.

The OED doesn't "define British English". See Lexicographer" as defined by the Devil's Dictionary.

If you keep reading you'll find that Conrad refers to the 25th of March as the launch date. As usual, /. is behind the times.
You could be really cunning and buy a skirt with pockets.
I saw "keeping track of the dozens of major characters, many with two or three names or titles or hyphenated titles" and thought of War and Peace.
He mentioned quadtrees for terrain rendering.
