I haven't tried the Civet coffee, but I have tried Jacu Bird coffee http://www.ineedcoffee.com/08/jacu-bird-coffee/ . It wasn't extremely expensive (approx £80 per kilo) but I wouldn't bother buying it again. It was good, but not that good.
I thought the Weeping Angels were superb in the Blink episode. That and the gas-mask face episodes are my favourite scary episodes and I grew up to Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker.
There's some question as to whether he was really vegetarian or not. It might have been partly propaganda and in reality he occasionally ate meat, but I don't know for sure.
However, characterising people by their diet choices is a curious way of dividing up the population. It would make more sense to split people up according to their professions; do politicians, estate agents and salesmen lie more than everyone else?
I practise a pescetarian diet myself, but that doesn't make me any different to a carnivore or a vegan or any other type of diet.
I've never found a pussy that wouldn't stretch to accommodate me! (Joke - I'm happily married, so I don't go chasing women).
I don't quite follow your argument/analogy as it's not the size of the application that's stopping it from running on other platforms and other platforms can be bigger or smaller than Windows. Are you trying to imply that the elite awesome features of Windows are absolutely required to make such a magnificent browser and that no other OS can possibly host the supreme coolness of IE10?
As a UK subject, I've heard and used the term BBC tax. However, it's usually used in an ironic way in that it's not a tax, but everyone has to pay it (except for people who can't receive live transmissions).
I think you do require a licence to use iPlayer, but good luck to you if you're getting away without paying it (I'm a big fan of civil disobedience).
You're right, the UK police do have a fair amount of discretion as to what action to take. Sometimes, though, if they get complaints from the public, then they'll have to be seen to do something.
To play devil's advocate; if you allow police a lot of latitude in how to enforce various laws, you're effectively giving the police a lot of power to abuse. e.g. a racist police force may choose to always prosecute certain races, whilst allowing their own racial group to be let off with a warning most of the time.
To my mind, most police in the UK will apply common-sense to situations, so I would guess that this case has to have some kind of external agitator.
I can't believe people pay for Sophos when they can't even add keep their virus definitions current. As much as I dislike Microsoft software, MSE is a much better bet.
This is more about using open standards rather than FOSS companies. There's nothing to prevent any company, FOSS or proprietary, from using open standards. This way, they can choose the best product (and company) and not be locked in forever due to ridiculous proprietary "standards" that only one company can use.
You state that this has nothing to do with corporations, yet it is interesting that corporations can allow other people to use their networks without fear of reprisals. Why have you got less rights than a corporation and what can you do about it?
Yep, but judges don't like it when their intent is subverted. They expect their rulings to not be messed with and usually aren't too happy with any attempts to "game" their decisions.
I'm concerned that you think that someone sharing open wireless is being an Internet Tough Guy. There's nothing "tough" about it and I hate the way that Americans are so scared of helping each other for fear of reprisals. (By the way, I'm married, over 25 and a house-owner, but I live in the UK, so the law is slightly less corporation-biased).

Must be some kind of quantum trigger

Reading the review has ruined my brain.

I can run Chrome on a variety of operating systems. How many can I run IE10 on?
NoScript blocks javascript from running unless it's from a whitelisted domain, so you're right - it'll stop a lot of scripts from downloading ads.
Fundamentalist Christians?

Really?
Democracy is a sheep and two wolves voting on what to have for lunch.
It's not the burning, it's the posting on Facebook that's the problem.
By the way, please don't be frightened of saying "FUCK", especially if you're posting anonymously.

How do you screw up a browser unless you're changing it's code?

I guess that you're right
The ruling was to cover all of the EU. I don't think Apple would be too happy losing business from all of the EU.
I thought that this wasn't a sanction, but just to redress the fact that Apple had publicly accused Samsung of copying its designs.
You might think that, but the judge is disagreeing with you. Guess who knows the law better?

I can recommend the Buffalo Airstations running DD-WRT.
