And she looks formidable enough, to worry the average geek or eager tourist trying to get too close to the PM. Even so I think the combined forces along with the police would be too much for her. If not they could always send the boy scouts along too.
The Queen's too f*cking old to be on Facebook. Trust me, I'm a 49-year-old queen who wouldn't be caught dead on Facebook. What do you call an over-40 queen on Facebook? A Catholic priest.
A Catholic priest is far wrong. She's head of the Church of England
Our queen is the queen. It does not meen that much anymore. She can block any law but if she did parliment would throw her out. So yes she has power but cannot use it. Such is the state of the UK.
The problem with an unwritten constitution is that since it has not happened (at least since Oliver Cromwell) nobody knows if and how they government could throw her out. There is more historical precedence to say that the Queen could dismiss her parliament and take direct rule. If it comes down to it the armed forces and police swear allegiance to the Queen. I believe that all the Government has to defend against them is the serjeant at arms, who would not last long against the combined forces!
It's not so much unofficial: it's expressly incorporated into the preamble of the Statute of Westminster. Now, whether that's legally enforceable has never been tested.
You could quite easily get into logical knots, if teh Queen is monarch she could use the royal prerogative to instruct the government to enforce it - which would mean that she would be monarch and have the power....
If Wikipedia is correct, she is currently Queen of Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Canada, Grenada, Jamaica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, Jersey, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Tuvalu. She is also an Admiral of Nebraska, but that's not really important. The Monarchy will pass to Charles; I could find nothing of countries planning to end the monarchy when Elizabeth dies.
"less family friendly" about two women raising kids?
Its non biblical. They should do the decent thing, like when God and the Holy Spirit had Jesus, both being male they had him addopted by a decent Hetro couple.
Repeat after me "People who blindly yell 'Correlation is not causation' should be slapped with a trout.'
There is a correlation between the number of people who drive expensive cars and the number of people who's kids go to University. Therefore the government could increase the number of University graduates by having a scheme to buy poorer people expensive cars.
I'm not confusing anything. This paper shows Chrome still lacks full ALSR support, although I admit I thought it was more than just that one DLL. Nice to know about the proper protected mode stuff though.
Except that the paper shows the exact opposite, that Chrome does have full ASLR support. Look at the bottom right table on page 8.
I for one welcome a 4th operating system on the market. Sure took long enough. (I know I know, some people are going to say "what about VMS? I still use it", etc.)
I choose to go to google, knowing that they will use that information to sell me ads. This software is about someone's wife or husband slipping a trojan on another person's phone that will forward all text messages to him/her.
Do you not see a difference?
Correction: it isn't a trojan, so much as spyware.
I think that we can all agree that it comes down to the possibility of someone's wife or husband slipping a trojan on another person.
The apple app would be much more likely to need loop detection to avoid infinite multiplication of messages.. (this post only makes sense if you follow the link)
Its rather Ironic that a company who's business relies on spying (cough) tracking what other people do should ban an app designed to track what people are doing.
Maybe they'll do as good a job on this one as they did on Sun. ATG have anything truly fun with massive potential? Hope not, cuz it's about to get pissed on.
But there's the great job they did with MySQL... oh wait
I'm sorry Larry we accidentally brought the wrong ATG. Never mind, I am sure that we can use it for something.. Corporate hospitality perhaps? I'm sure that some of our clients would love a trip to Palestine. No, wait - perhaps a relocation of our open-source initiatives would be in order.
Terry Jones has called off his plans to burn a copy of The Times at Ground Zero tomorrow, after the paywall caught alight for half an hour on Friday afternoon.
Jones had planned to burn The Times because, he claimed, Rupert Murdoch would not rest until he had paywalled all of Google, including the remarkably lucrative Monty Python channel on YouTube.......
Thank God he called it off. There would have been Hooraah Henry's rioting in the streets, shouting "Death to Britain" and all sorts of chaos. Of course it would have all been Terry's fault because you can't expect the upper crust (the class of Peace) keep self control.

I'd rather have this blacksheep myself.
Our office used Gem Desktop. We were amazed at how primitive Windows was by comparrison, with no overlapping windows, etc.

Can we expect a queen.tv domain then?

Where's the catch? What will you inadvertently start using that will later need licensing?
Your ISP (among others) will punish you for doing things the Internet was originally designed for.
Unless you work for, or are an ally of, the US Military, that is...
Darn, I was planning to invade Iraq

I Don't believe it. Harry was innocent, he's been framed by Draco

When you realise what GP was saying it will be a "Doh" moment.

I'm holding out for the HURD notebook
And, then once you're in the door with Oracle for the eCommerce stuff, you try to get Oracle into the rest of the company.
Then the real money starts, what with the sun hardware and support contracts and all.
You mean like "The next release of the ecommerce suite runs on Oracle/Weblogic app server only".

mod parent insightful! It's true
I want one of those printers. I hear that I can order one from Yemen, but for some reason I'll have to pick it up at the local Synagogue.
