I don't know which article you read, but the one linked in the summary opens with the words "A blind developer at Google" and later on mentions that "Accessible Search is focusing on blind users, largely because Raman is one of them".
It was remarkable... how many unencrypted port-80 webmail servers... there are out there.
Not really. SMTP is unencrypted, so if you're relying on encrypted webmail to secure your e-mail communication your security model is probably wrong. The only things which should really need an SSL connection per se are changing your password and deleting messages; by implication logging in would also need SSL to set up a secure cookie for these.
In the evenings, in my town, there's an ad a minute posted in "Services, Erotic" for escorts and call-girls -- most of them legitimate (or, as legitimate as a hooker can be)....great place to find someone giving away a washer and dryer though.
I don't want to know why people are giving away white goods in "Services, Erotic".
I went through the red channel once. I looked around for someone to whom I could pay the required duty, didn't see anyone, waited a minute, and then walked through.
17.--(1) The copying of the work is an act restricted by the copyright in every description of copyright work; and references in this Part to copying and copies shall be construed as follows.
(2) Copying in relation to a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work means reproducing the work in any material form.
This includes storing the work in any medium by electronic means.

(6) Copying in relation to any description of work includes the making of copies which are transient or are incidental to some other use of the work.
This is the section of the Act which causes licences to be necessary to run a program, and exactly the same logic is applicable to mp3s.
I have never seen a licence in a CD sleeve, but a licence under English law can be implicit, and I believe this is the situation with buying music: that it comes with an implicit licence. The terms of this licence are, alas, not clear.
I've been thinking about whether evolution is a scientific theory lately. Maybe it's that I'm insufficiently imaginative, or maybe that biologists are less inclined to Popperian philosophies of science than people from a physical science background, but I can't see how theories about speciation over millions of years could be either falsified or tested repeatedly. In what sense, then, are they scientific?
I think that UK law has the right general attitude to data protection. Personal data can only be processed for specified purposes and with consent; processing includes storage. It's not perfect: I'm sure the government is prepared if necessary to stretch the national security exception a long way; but the prohibition of feature creep provides some level of protection against misuse of stored data.
If boredom is an emotion then maybe the French Finance Minister should submit his Balance the Budget game.

I was 20 when RSI had me in non-stop pain. My best friend developed it in his early twenties. I know a 14-year-old sufferer. It's not just an issue for middle-aged and old people.
This is/., so I'm not surprised, but you've missed the context. The "thousands and thousands of centrifuges" are to enrich uranium for power generation, not for nuclear weapons. A single bomb requires on the order of 10kg of enriched uranium. A large power station requires on the order of 25,000kg p.a. (source).
Identical twins aren't (generally, at least) physically identical. People who don't know them probably won't be able to tell them apart, but someone who's taught them for a couple of months probably can, which rather limits the scope for pranks.
It brings in more government regulation on pornography which is something obviously they don't want.
I presume the government to which you refer is the U.S. government. Given that this lawsuit is aiming to expose said government covering up efforts to influence ICANN, do you really think the same government would openly legislate on TLDs?
Manufacture, distribution and possession of child porn is already illegal in all civilised countries. Banning it from TLDs won't make a bit of difference.

A later rabbi used a similar expression, but with an elephant rather than a camel.
I remember some Fosters radio ads which were more entertaining than most of the other content on the radio.

Take two, since I seem to have replied to my own post rather than yours. Maybe I missed some context, but I thought this thread was about UK law?

How do you play digital media without copying them?

You know, there's this great invention which allows people to opt out of those databases, at the cost of slight inconvenience. It's called cash.
