That's fine as long as you have a job to pay for it. If all the manufacturing and knowledge based jobs end up in the cheaper locations then can the Western Economies keep going.
I know that many economists say that it is the beginning of the service economy, and we can all be rich in the west by buying and providing services for each other but I am rather skeptical. If a whole country consists of PR teams, lawyers, restaurant owners and so on can they really "generate" enough money to be able to buy their "real" things from cheap overseas sources?
The usual case would be "GTA made me want to drive dangerously, commit crime, etc.". He is not claiming that the game affected his motivation to take the car, just taught him how to do it.
Possibly, a single write of zeroes would leave some residual magnetism. It could not be read with the standard drive head; we are talking government agents and slashdot hardware hackers on a bet here - not your standard identity thief.
What is really sad is that I live in a city where you can only see one or two stars. We went out to a park on the edge of the city with some friends and their kids. It got dark, which happens early at this time of year in the UK. You could see about fifty stars in the sky on the side opposite the city and their kids were saying "wow, look at all the stars".
If they travelled about 30 miles they would have been able to see a thousand or so and just made out the milky way. If they travelled 100 miles they would have seen real dark skies - but they had obviously done neither.
I know its bad science but I am not sure that it hinders Glastonbury's business. Every other shop sells crystals, mystic books, figurines that will improve yoir fertility and so on. It could even aid business, someone will cash in on the idea that Glastonbury is protected by Orgone generators to sell ones you can take home to protect your own environment.
As religions go its not that bad. Nobody calls for death to those who use the wrong type of crystal or prefers herbalism to energy fields.
If we did discover native extra-terrestrial microbes it would answer a lot of interesting questions. If it had a similar DNA basis it would support the idea of panspermia - that life on earth may have been seeded by space. If it is totally different who knows what we might learn.
It would also be interesting to ask the young earth creationists on which day God created the Martian life and if Noah really had two of every species how did he get the samples form Mars.
I don't think that the problem is a single number it is connectivity. You might think that if you have three investments with a 10% risk of losing £1,000,000 the chances of all three of them losing £1,000,000 is 0.1*0.1*0.1 = 0.001 or 0.1%. The thing is if one loses that much then the markets may lose confidence meaning the others go down too - they are not independent probabilities.
I remember my gran having a player piano. It was great fun (as a seven year old) working the peddles to play music at double-speed. It also seemed somehow magical seeing the keys "play" themselves.
Given that police have been known to plant evidence, anything found in this will have two defences.
1) The police may have planted it
2) The police witnesses will have to testify that anyone with the right skills and access to the internet could have used this computer to store data.
That goes a long way towards giving reasonable doubt, and unless they have other evidence I think it would be a risky prosecution.
Thats true. I am assuming that because it is a capacitance device it hasn't got a very high internal resistance, which would mean you couldn't discharge quickly. Maybe the device can't explode but a cable shorting it across probably would.
Fraudulent transactions using your pin number aren't covered by the law
Of course they are! If you steal pin numbers and withdraw other people's money do you think the cops will just say "let him go, he's not covered". Its still fraud!
What you mean is that the banks won't automatically reimburse you. They often will reimburse when its shown to be a crime but they are wary because of the large number of "same address" offences where the victim does not want to press charges.
That's why I've got your callsign on my car too. If I piss someone off they will figure its not worth chasing me now because they know where I live....
In the UK yes you can. The unwritten rule is that you need pretty well watertight evidence to contest it (the picture from the camera being a different car would do), and that if you fail the appeal you will have to pay quite a bit more than the automatic charge.

The population of Ireland is somewhere around 6 million - what does every *else* do there?
Farm potatoes and brew Guinness.

Both were jewish btw.
This is what happens when they can't keep themselves occupied by blowing up schools
Just hide it in a house in the Gaza strip and tip off Israel that it is a Hamas stronghold

The funny part, 90% of those people that understand smash, will not smash it enough.
Another 5% will enjoy it so much that they will do the same thing to their new computer, the TV and the next door neighbours car.

After all a lot of crime goes on in red light districts.
hippies... hippies... they say they want to save the world, but all they do is smoke pot and smell bad.
Compared with Geeks who drink black coffee and smell bad.

That it's held every year in Las Vegas?
It could well be .... I just don't want to think about that.
Normally I would agree with you, but looking at the stock markets over the last 12 months you might have been better off buying hardware....
(Does anyone want to buy some SCO shares?)
Consumer Electronics Show, held every year in Las Vegas, is rumored to be shrinking alongside the global economy
Thats funny, I heard a similar rumour about Cowboy Neal's dick.
I accuse everyone in New Zealand of file Sharing, including the government departments and the police.
Welcome back to the mid 20th Century New Zealand, you are all going to be disconnected.
girls who claim they'll never sleep with Windows users
They're probably ugly anyway.
Now you can blame Microsoft for nnot getting laid too...
Simplifying risk to a single number is as dangerous as simplifying a decision to buy or sell to a single boolean value.
false ;-)
