    Did she kill your pet dog as a child, or does your disrespect stem from your own insecurity in your identity?

    Are you sure it's not down to the well known "Safari doesn't render bold text" bug that occurs due to a font conflict on some Windows installations?

    The difference is that UK law encompasses an aspect of reasonableness.

    Generally, if you're reasonable, the plod will be reasonable. If you're unreasonable though, they can throw the book at you.

    "But zomg teh googles!!!!1111eleven"

    I suspect it's squarely aimed at switchers who don't know any better. Anything to wring that little bit more advertising revenue from their users.

    No, a translator that takes a completely unmodified VB/C/etc. program, and turns it into a finished, complete, debugged webpage, as easily as typing "make".

    They're awesome - I've had my Concept about 4.5 years, and I'm definitely getting another when I replace it this summer.
