The real problem is the Royal family are a bunch of unelected retards that have run the British Empire into the ground. And this Bill is just another one of their pet projects to keep it that way.
Queen unveils draft internet super-snoop bill - with clauses Her Maj opens Parliamentary session with clear nod to CCDP
The Queen has detailed the government's upcoming programme of law-making on a grey day darkened by the gloom of a double-dip recession and plans to massively increase surveillance of the internet in the UK.
The news that the Government is to seek to overturn the ruling that it must publish at least some of the criteria under which both the Queen and Charles are allowed to veto â" or, presumably, force the Government to amend â" much forthcoming Government legislation is utterly disgusting, but hardly surprising. It seems that both the monarchy and at least the last two governments are united in their insistence that we, the people of Britain, must be kept in the dark as to exactly how we are governed. To them, we do not even have the right to know how we are being governed! Not content with having kept secret the fact that both the reigning monarch and the next in line have a veto over virtually all proposed legislation, now we are told that we cannot even know the rules that determine which bills are subject to this anti-democratic veto. This is the very antithesis of democracy, and seems destined â" designed, even â" to turn us back into serfs and slaves, unworthy of even knowing how we are being ruled, and hence utterly incapable of doing anything about it. As John Kirkhope, the person who requested this information said: âoeAll I have asked is to see the rules by which it is determined laws are made⦠Why do parliamentarians tolerate a situation in which they introduce a bill and someone may come up to them and say you need the consent of the Duke of Cornwall? If they ask why, theyâ(TM)ll be told that the Cabinet Office guidance is secret and they are not allowed to see it.â It is difficult to imagine a more disgustingly anti-democratic idea in any so-called democracy. If ever there could be a clearer exposition of the need for a proper written constitution, I do not know of it, and cannot even imagine it.
People always voice their concern when they're against something but rarely express their opinion if they're for it
An argument which is completely destroyed when you RTFA and they compare it with a recent euthenasia bill which received a majority response in favour.
My apologies, you are indeed correct. pretty stupid idea tbh, one small GPL gateway module by NVIDIA and all is right with the world. Except for the user having slightly degraded gfx, caused by Kernel devs not following their own guidance.
Wrong way round. You are rapidly gaining civil rights - via the internet - the only difference is you now know about how they have been curtailed for centuries.
HTC One X is the best phone on the market right now, The iPhone is like stone age tech in comparison. But you can't beat the look of disappointment on iPhone peoples faces when they see what it can do.
As I read the headlines all I could think of is...
"So Apple have just proved Samsung stuff is the same", "WoW, that's goona hurt their brand recognition".
Apple: foot meet mouth.
Apple will probably lose 10 times the judgement in sales now all there media led clientÃle have officially been told there is nothing special about Apple products you can't buy cheaper elsewhere.
He's saying the heatwaves are "out of the ordinary". Clearly they are not. And Clearly they have nothing to do with CO2 and everything to do with solar activity.
lol, excellent point. I'd guess this is also a fairly new occurrence, I.e. not something that. was that widespread the last time I'd released a viable game.
yes, been and still am a big carmac and Id fan. been exclusively nix on my desktop for about 8 years and all my gaming atm is on a ps3. there were work arounds (disable the monitor before you start the game - ball ache) but none of the linux ports have ever felt polished. but hey, if you can point me to an official id game release that you would play and supports nix out of the box I'll gladly stand corrected.
id's software never sold on linux, because non of id's games work on linux machines with more than one monitor, which is most linux machines I'd guess. let's hope valve don't make the same mistake.
Three apps that hold linux back Autocad Photoshop Office (OO is "OK" but it's missing some vital functions (like track changes and visual basic))
Yes I know you can get them to work (I actually use Office 2007 on fedora), but until we can get a usable version of these apps linux will remain marginal and server side for J6P.

Actually, it does matter to politicians.
It's just that the politicians voice doesn't matter to HRH.

APIs GPL only? Seriously guys, WHAT THE FUCK?
No, they were asking to include the code - or some derivative of it in their proprietary driver.
If they just wanted to interface the API there would be no need to mark it non-GPL.
Almost certainly not one that will stand up against websockets.
Same difference.
Wrong way round.

I'm fairly sure it is because of the trial.

Actually, aiui they are seeking the death penalty. Which is why they can't extradite him from the UK.
Indeed, you obviously aren't making it very well.
I'm pretty sure saying 100F is "fucking cold" means you think the 80F seen in Russia must be "really fucking cold".
Just to be clear, when you say:
Are you trying to imply global warming is nothing to worry about?
He's saying the heatwaves are "out of the ordinary".
Clearly they are not.
And Clearly they have nothing to do with CO2 and everything to do with solar activity.
No because it's just not true.

So we're still cooler than the 1920s
You mean the Icculus.org ports?
They weren't "ID software" releases though were they?
lol, excellent point. I'd guess this is also a fairly new occurrence, I.e. not something that. was that widespread the last time I'd released a viable game.

That's because the meals are rammed with sugar, nothing like a highly addictive substance to bring in the kids.
one thousand years ago the sea was ten meters higher than it is today.
so yep, pretty sure it can't be stopped, because it was never something we were responsible for, and if anything is still falling.
Also don't really care, just means as a species we'll all have to move back to the middle east.
News you won't find on CNN or Faux.
Three apps that hold linux back
Autocad
Photoshop
Office (OO is "OK" but it's missing some vital functions (like track changes and visual basic))
Yes I know you can get them to work (I actually use Office 2007 on fedora), but until we can get a usable version of these apps linux will remain marginal and server side for J6P.
Metro Store plays for sure.
