No, it wouldn't. That code point already has a well defined semantic meaning. If people start using that in the interim it will just make things harder for everyone.
They could file for the Unicode concept in advance, then when the glyph design was ready the Unicode spec could be updated and fonts patched. As it is, they've got to wait for all of that to happen now.
"You are free to go" / "You are free to duplicate this" "This item is free"
All have similar meanings, ie there is not "cost" involved (of whatever kind - monetary, legal,...), but the currency of "cost" is different in each case.
Nobody hijacked anything. English has been this way for a long time.
In the UK at least, there was slow take-up of DAB because of all the issues surrounding it at the beginning that the popular press picked up on - namely poor signal coverage, lack of decent car receivers (where I believe the majority of people listen to the radio anyway), and overly compressed streams that made anything but ClassicFM sound awful. There were alternative sources of music and people just wouldn't pay the high costs for little perceived benefit - ie the initial outlay for the receiver, the running costs, and reduced portability.
Now that the costs have come down, DAB is potentially doomed by switch-off and replacement by DAB+. Many older receivers (many of them were still on sale a few months ago, probably still are) cannot be upgraded to receive this, which has been further highlighted in the press and further puts people of buying.
I've yet to see those things happen. Where I live this kind of thing isn't tolerated, and most workplaces bend over backwards to accomodate new families. But congratulations on spouting lots of laws that don't apply to me!:-)
Could it possibly be that women drop out of these jobs 10-20 years into their careers to have children? Could this also explain the difference in "average" salary if their careers have a break or work shorter weeks?
No, I meant just share the sim rather than tethering. Ie the other device would have a 3G transceiver in it too, but use the sim remotely in some way. Ie low power.
"The study received 19.2 million euros ($24.4 million) in funding, around 5.5 million euros of which came from industry sources. It analysed data from interviews with 2,708 people with a type of brain cancer called glioma and 2,409 with another type called meningioma, plus around 7,500 people with no cancer.
Participants were from Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden and Britain. ($1=.7872 Euro) (Editing by Mark Trevelyan and Reed Stevenson)"
The interpolation he refers to is not the 24fps movie thing. Most modern up-market screens have per-frame interpolation - eg for a 30FPS input signal it will interpolate 3 extra frames to smooth the motion.
Most of the 600hz plasmas do 200hz interpolation too - so you get a fast refresh (which you need on a plasma and is less of an issue with an LCD), but also the interpolation to give smooth movement.
And despite what the great grandparent says, it does make a huge difference.

Stats for that?
Isn't that what I said? That the only the rights of the strong are worth anything, ie your "corporate-run oligarchy".
Though I wasn't aware that the UK was quite at the point of being run by the corporations.

And being a symbol, it's almost impossible to look up.
To everyone else, it's one more confusing Kanji they will never be able to look up.
Do we assume they do not have access to Google, and the ability to type the character? Eg query google for "what is "...
Yes - perhaps the slashcoders should read http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html ?
I couldn't understand your first post - what was your reasoning for the chicken coming first?
Isn't that what we have?
You mean because RedHat opensource pretty much everything and so do Sugar?

Yes quite right - David Cameron and his public school chums have a lot to answer for ;-)

Less experience? Less "current" experience? If I took time out from working I'd expect to earn less too.

In the UK, O2 is just about to start selling an "unlimited" data plan, with a 1GB cap... (with every subsequent GB costing 10GBP).
In the UK the new iPhone tariffs (and other mobile broadband deals too) will be unlimited browsing. For values of unlimited = 1GB. Quality.

Bluetooth? Surely something could be done to share the SIM data over bluetooth in a way that the two devices could use it?
But it will make upgrading to wife 2.0 much easier - and then you'll be ready for any future upgrades to 3.0 and beyond!
I'm guessing they did it properly. From TFA:

LCD screens are lighter, thinner, and more efficient though.
Most of the 600hz plasmas do 200hz interpolation too - so you get a fast refresh (which you need on a plasma and is less of an issue with an LCD), but also the interpolation to give smooth movement.
