It's a bit of a strange country the UK, Google ASBO for a set of rather far reaching laws, that don't need a crime to be committed.
One thing that is a fairly major difference is bail, depending on the crime, it can be just a ticket maybe followed up by a time to appear in court, or maybe taken to a police station for a few hours and then bailed to appear at a magistrates court sometime later which can be months as crimes go up in seriousness you might get held overnight and appear before a magistrate to be bailed or remanded in custody.
There are no bail bonds in the UK either your safe to be let out (possibly with a tag or a curfew) or your not. It takes a lot to be kept in jail before trial. Even if you will be in jail eventually when sentenced, which maybe a year away. If you behave yourself before your trial, ideally taking positive steps in your life then you maybe even get a suspended sentence or even a conditional discharge.
So it's highly unlikely that in this case he will have been kept overnight in cells let alone been chucked in to prison on remand.
Under an American system, i guess it would depend if he has enough money to pay a bail bonds man or not. There are plenty of offenses he could have been charged with even before asbo's there was the good old breach of the peace.
Insulting Glaswegians in such circumstances would probably do it. He's liable to end up in hospital at some point, after some rough justice anyway, unless things calm down. The Police may be doing him a favor by charging him.
There were 6 people killed one woman saw both her parents and her daughter killed in front of her eyes. Think about it. How would you feel if you were that woman. I think most people can feel some empathy. Its christmas today pick any three of the people around you to be killed in front of your eyes, doesn't feel very good does it.
You might not like the law it could be used for censorship and repression, but its not in this case is it? in fact its the complete opposite you are aware of what that little shit said and your probably not even in the UK.
He is unlikely to go to jail maybe not even fined but he has been publicly shown to be the worthless scrap of humanity that he is.
Some things are just not done, and are socially unacceptable this is one of them. When it comes to censorship and repression how about Edward Snowdon does his case count as an example?
There is, used in most supermarkets (certainly in the Uk in Ireland since the eighties at least) a system of aluminium cages. usually 3 sides to them and wheels like shopping trolleys. The bottom folds up and the sides fold to the back.
picked and filled at the warehouse. dragged onto a truck dragged off at the supermarket emptied on the shop floor. empty trolleys back on the truck. Exceptions seem to be drinks slabs of coke and bottles. which tend to be palletized.
for garden centres there is another system of shelved trolleys for plants often re-shelved for selling direct off the trolley. Plants need to be watered regularly and being mobile is useful.
Clothing often is shipped on racks to avoid creasing too.
pallets are great when shipping 1 product from a factory but not so good for 1 of this 2 of that ect. which is the case often from distribution centres.
As you might imagine, USA has around 101 guns per 100 people.
A more interesting statistic in 2012 34.4% of US households have 1 or more guns which means you could say around 2/3rds of US households are not scared enough to feel the need to have a gun in the house.
To be fair there is a learning curve that can rival photoshop or lightroom however there is a pretty comprehensive manual to walk you through the features. However you will need to invest a little time to get the most out of it.
my first thought was lightroom but darktable is free runs on linux( OSX too) and will also generate a database of your images.
For image processing you would also want a 1GB or better graphics card to take advantage of GPU processing, not that you are really interested in that, other people maybe.
think there was gpe for the htc universal it booted but the phone side didn't work one thing it did have was slide to unlock:) you dragged a key to the lock.
currently there are a number of 32bit tablets running windows 8 and they are remarkably cheap if lacking a little in the ram department.
These tablets would be great for Linux if it was possible to run on any of them. £150 with windows 8.1, with a proper linux distro. I would buy one, i might even dual boot it if there was enough space. I wouldn't even begrudge buying an iso file from canonical at a reasonable price if the hardware was fully supported.
There is work being done to support some of these tablets but it would be great if canonical could find some devices it could fully support. I don't think another tablet will be on my christmas list this year and i'm not going to buy another android device that is abandoned at birth by it's manufacturer again.
I installed the beta at the weekend, and had to follow an eclipse tutorial which mostly worked ok. There were differences but I figured them out. There were some imports that were not mentioned. I believe eclipse can automagically find needed imports and add them in (ctrl 0 i think) but I had to add them myself in android studio.
Maybe now its out of beta there will be some tutorials written for it. eclipse is not perfect, i found that it wouldn't load a project using the latest api and had to drop to api 21 or 20 before it would work. Took a good while for me to resolve a situation which I shouldn't have run in to as I was making my first steps.
i haven't a clue as to how to proceed , if you can proceed with this. I wish you luck and hope you can persevere maybe it can be fought in the european court of human rights, although finding the financial support to do so and a legal procedure that can be applied...
years ago there used to be a lot of "free" software that wasn't really free.
It was "free" to download and then pay for a license. or "free" to try but save disabled (sometimes after x number of clicks).
But we got wise to that one and started looking for open source and generally it was as good as it could be at the time. Sometimes you might find a bug, report it and work with the developers to fix it. (oh and download from the projects website or a link provided by the project to avoid the dodgy repack with extra... ).
Sounds like this reworking of opensource to "opensource" is trying to be the new "free"
might be of interest to you, Obviously I don't know about the case you bring up I can believe that the children and parents were shown to be related by DNA although it doesn't mean that automatically disqualifies the child sex trafficking charge.
You might think that there should be some existing evidence to backup the presumed intent. If the parents were not criminally charged and convicted then it would make the councils grounds for their actions very shakey.
You seem convinced that the case was groundless and I wish you luck in persuing the matter, maybe there is some chance of involving the investigation of Harringey social services in your case. Its going to be tough for them to be fair especially after the death of a 17 month old child where they didn't do enough after which there must have been an attitude change and a desire to not make any more mistakes.
good luck with it, I hope it ends well.
On the positive side those children in care should be safe and fostered and adopted into happy homes, it is there well being that matters above all else.
It is a fair point that generally kids are taken in to care due to unfit parents, but that is not the purpose of the paper is it?
The UK signed the Convention in 1964. Signatories have the following duty, without exception, under Article 37 (b) of the Vienna Convention of Consular Relations 1963: Article 37 (b): âoeIf the relevant information is available to the competent authorities of the receiving State, such authorities shall have the duty: -
to inform the competent consular post without delay of any case where the appointment of a guardian or trustee appears to be in the interests of a minor or other person lacking full capacity who is a national of the sending State.â
Thats pretty clear, if you take a kid into care you are obligated to inform the consol for that childs country that you are doing so. The Consol may or may not intervine but they should be informed.
while you do get circumstances where parents are unfit, there are also cases where familys have been made homeless after losing jobs and having no recourse to public funds have ended up on the streets and the kids have been taken in to care.
Consul assistance could be quite essential to the outcome of such cases even if it is limited to informing family back home or enabling assistance from ex pats within communities in the UK. From providing some sort of housing maybe even the use of a spare room or help returning home. It depends on the case and the nationality and circumstances as to what can be done.
While some consuls will not lift a finger to help while others will but without being informed they can do nothing at all and the UK has obligations under the Vienna Convention of Consular Relations 1963.
Going by the numbers of children affected this report should be noted and acted upon.
If anything even close to a majority opposing systemd existed then maintaining sysv absolutely is viable.
it was said by the very same dev that just resigned
The vote ends with systemd being the winner, after bdale's casting vote as the CTTE chair.
how is that not close to a majority when the chair (and main proponent of systemD) was forced to use his casting vote to get a ruling in systemd 's favour? From where i'm sat that looks like forced through .
perhaps someone will explain how it wasn't forced through on a single vote(r)
Surprisingly good, thou its worth bearing in mind he is using the same techniques as the people who he says are telling us how to think but to push back in th opposite direction.
He does come out with some really stupid stuff like don't vote as a revolt against the system, which really means be apathetic and just be a sheep. It doesn't matter how many protests you participate in, the only way to change things is to change the people who are doing the things you don't like.
Politics is largely sterile partys have a rock solid majority on most of them. In the UK the lowest majority was held by 92 votes, just 93 people getting of their backsides and voting would have been enough to change that seat. Of the 50 most marginal seats less than 200,000 people could change the government of the day by voting in the right seats around half have less than a 2000 vote majority. Of course without PR its a case of voting for the lesser evil however when your vote is crucial there is a slim chance of change. No chance at all if you don't vote.
As long as Apple is not then storing that randomMailHost.com is associated with a particular user - then there's no issue at all.
As a NSA agent for example. it wouldnt be useful to check with apple all the internet searches person of interest has conducted and while it might be disapointing that apple does not have his email on file and contacts they do at least know his email account with another provider and may be able to give login credentials for that service even if its outside of us juristiction.
sounds paranoid until you consider what edward snowden has said already.
Grayling cited the case of Chloe Madeley, the daughter of television presenters Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, who was trolled after she defended her motherâ(TM)s remarks about the convicted rapist Ched Evans.
Finnigan said Evans, who was released from prison last week after serving half of a five-year sentence for raping a 19-year-old woman, should be allowed to resume his career as a footballer because his rape had not been violent and he had not caused âoeany bodily harmâ. Chloe Madeley faced rape threats on social media after she defended her motherâ(TM)s remarks.
So basically her mother said it wasn't a bad rape as rapes go So Chloe supported her mother (supporting the convicted rapist) so then some "troll" says so would you like it if you were raped, nonviolently and without bodily harm? in reply to her tweets.
Obviously in 142 charactors or less, it becomes necessary to reduce the tweet to the bare minimum.
So we have the strange situation of an actual rapist serving 2 and a half years in prison for rape and a troll suggesting Chloe put herself in the victims shoes for a minute possibly serving 2 years for a hypothetical rape! I guess chloe and her mother will be all in favour of the troll returning to his former employment too.
At the heart of this is a real woman who was raped, she is the genuine victim. Not the minor celebs who wish to gossip about her rape over morning coffee on daytime tv, such as chloe's mother.
um no. you didn't read the link the string was sent to duck duck go and also sent to apple there is no need for the search string to go to both.
if the user was using apple to search then of course the search string should go to apple but if its sent to google then it shouldn't go to apple as well.
Seems Apples picking up searches from safari, even when told not too. microsoft decided to log all your key strokes. Both experiences are negative but the later situation seems worse although niether are acceptable why should safari be sending "where to bury the body" back to apple, perhaps they have been "asked" for this information.

Ok so whats the difference between gun ownership between Denmark and Norway
http://www.gunpolicy.org/firea...
484298 Licensed guns in Norway Denmark just 21,000
http://www.gunpolicy.org/firea...
http://www.gunpolicy.org/firea...
Your mixing two different societies with different laws and differing social norms.

actually it might have been the toshiba e740 /e750 that i was thinking of and your right its been a long long time.
maybe because they had a brewery in nw10 london near the inner ring road. I remember that from around 87-88 when i was working in the area
linux on htc universal
www.unilinux.4fan.cz
7 options including android
openmoko , opie qtopia i think were the ones i played with there is debian (tchy).
how much works i have no idea, but you can get a few applications working and a gui.
think there was gpe for the htc universal it booted but the phone side didn't work one thing it did have was slide to unlock :) you dragged a key to the lock.
haret and z3 i think sound familiar.
A Polish development by any chance? kawa being the polish for coffee, with a java base it seems likely
