It's not a crime if it's done outside the country, right?
Probably not. If you were to hack into a bank and transfer the money into your own offshore account, then I'm certain that the country with the bank would have both some law saying that they can extradite you, as well as some treaty with a bunch of other countries that give permission for the extradition. Not that I believe it's okay to charge anyone outside of your country with anything, I'm just saying with certainty that such laws exist.
Implant the camera and have it take a feed direct off the optic nerve. Implant the wireless in the head too with some local storage to cover when there is no signal. Active monitoring so if the signal drops for any length of time agents are dispatched to the last known location.
"I like that anyone who doesn't have a licence is automatically commiting an offence."
You must live in Texas sir. That is the only state I can think of that would make it an automatic offence to not have a firearms license, with or without owning a firearm!
I bet it will, but I can almost guarentee that EDF bills will go up to compensate them for their loss. Gotta pass that sort of cost on to the consumer, dontcha know?
1. If you are going to post a quiz that will probably end up on slashdot, should you make sure that your server can handle the strain?

Wouldn't work for me. First time it breaks or is damaged, I get charged 50% of the "Unsubsidised" cost of the phone when issued (£250), then the subsequent times I get charged 100% (£500). The phones are replaced about every 3 -4 years, so in theory I could be charged from £250 to £500 for having a 4 year old phone break on me. This comes straight from my wages as a deduction on my payslip.
Yes, at first. Also, these things tend to flow down stream.
When they have been "Proven to work" the scanners will be introduced at court houses. "But they are in use at the airport, so they are not an invasion of privacy."
Next you will see them in nightclubs. "Proven security technology, requirements of a licence, trust us not to keep the images.."
Schools? "But these are the same images as made in airports, so it is not indecent"
I suspect that 99% of laptops that are either lost by the owners (Left in a cab or whatever) or stolen are by people who will either want to fence it quick so don't care what is on it, or will want to keep it and see these corporate files as taking up space they could fill with pr0n.
Most thieves will not be thinking "Oh, that's the big bank execs laptop, I wonder what confidential information he has? Let's have a look shall we", but more likely "Oh, look. Shiny!"
The problem will come when another of the EU countries (yes, I am looking at you, England) will hold this law up as a shining example of government doing good, and then enact a law that embraces and extends this law into something completely different, more costly, more annoying, but ultimately just as useless.
Just don't get me started on what will happen if Brussels gets hold of it....
That was indeed the intended function of the cheque guarantee card. Now that is no longer the case. The bank will happily bounce a £5.00 cheque if it goes over your account limit by as little as a penny, guarantee card or no. That means they can take the money, Charge you a over limit fee, charge you an unauthorised overdraft fee, bounce the cheque, charge you for bouncing the cheque, then pass your details on to Expiran (I think?) who contact you to get payment for the cheque, and charge you a £40 collection fee....
Nice little earner if you can get away with it....
But then I didn't see anything in TFA that says 30kWh Per Plate. Install more sets of these round the car park to reduce the number of visits in a hour needed.
I work at a desk 9 hours a day. I also cycle 5 miles each way to get to the desk.
Take a walk at lunch. Go for a walk evenings and weekends. Play a sport. Get yourself an Avon round and walk it, getting exercise, meeting people an IT geek normally wouldn't, and earn some beer money! There are plenty of ways to get exercise if you use your imagination.

Depending on the crime and where you live, actually it is. https://publications.parliamen...
This wont last long. The FBI, NSA and probably half a dosen other agencies will start to cry "but terrorism!!11!!!"
Godwin'd!
Nuke the site from Orbit, It's the only way to be sure....
Must be the first Demolition Man quote I have seen in ages.
Well played sir!
Oh, come on, we are supposed to be Geeks here!

Much Geekier now!
How about that for your SAR limits?
I thought CentOS was Red Hat based, not the other way round....
You don't even need to go down to the Firmware level to have companies claim that modifying the software on your device voids the hardware warranty.
Just install Linux on a netbook and see what happens:

If you are going to RTFA, at least read all of it.
They got prison, with SOME of the time suspended.
I bet it will, but I can almost guarentee that EDF bills will go up to compensate them for their loss.

I don't anal fapp, and really would not advertise it if I did!

Does anyone have the comment by Lord Lucan?
But, but, but, Luton is not in London. Very outside the M25.....

It's not theft, its Piracy!
Quick! We need to form a association ending in AA so we can sue them in to the ground!
And don't forget Dai Hard. His Welsh accent must have taken a lot of work...
I would LOVE for someone to show up at my house with an unannounced Audi. Especially if it is the R8!
