The US and most of the British commonwealth DID - it's called english common law.
It's a form of law that dates back to when a country separated from English rule, and allows the government to have a base set of laws to build upon, rather than having to make laws up after a potential crime has been committed.
Some countries have not changed a lot of their laws and still fall back on english common law on occasion.
By the way, IANAL, I just like the odd bit of history and law.
My backups, and I'm just a lowly student, involve two 1tb drives locally, remote backup to a server 250 miles away and a hard drive in a fire proof safe.
All of the off-site backups are done over a domestic 2mb down 256kb up Virgin line (static IP is free so long as you don't reboot your 1 port supplied router), and can be done for under £500 with no problems, exc the two broadband connections.
This may seem extreme, but then you consider that my Dell Precision laptops have had no less than five hard drive deaths in two years and you see that this is sensible, and infact not even fully prepared as far as I am concerned - I need some more hard drives and another safe in a different location from the first - I have already had a collage coursework backup go down due to firemen hosing a server.
as a 20yr old, I can say I'm excited. The origonal movie was grapicaly out of this world for its time, and I want to see how they improve on both that and the good storyline of the origonal.
Some of us DO innovate in the area of corsetry, It has now become a fairly major fashion item recently with Madonna wearing Mr Perl corsets regularly in her videos and on tour, as well as people such as Dita Von Tease.
And shops like Fairy Gothmother in the UK are flourishing in making both off-the-rack and custom made corsets.
Oh, and we don't use whale bone any more, we use spring steel. See? innovation there.

What if the verdict was wrong? what then? You have just taken away something that can never be given back. A human life. It is more valuable than gold or anything known to man, as nothing can buy you another one.
The imagination is often far more vivid than anything an image can portray.
In respects to the pornography, no it wasn't as readily avalable, but large numbers of children found their parents stash or got the material from somewhere, or even seen their parents having sex. Realisticaly, the attitude that we as a civilization have towards sex, especialy in the USA is counterproductive to the point of it being life threatening. Take for example Nebrasca banning the words "sex" and "sexual" in state program public media, including AIDS media (http://www.tinynibbles.com/blogarchives/2007/07/n ebraska_considered_harmful.html - NSFW), or the Mormon Church banning masterbation (causing more than one teenager to commit suicide) (Disclaimer - I used to be a member of the aforementioned organisation).
However, in citys such as Amsterdam, thease things are taken as the norm, and not treated as anything special, giving sexual advice about protection and sexual prositions even in the citys sciance museum. This allows for people to grow up understanding what to do on their wedding night, understanding that a crisp packet or a menthos mint is NOT a form of contraceptive.
As far as I can see, it is America that has got it all worng about sex, and is trying to push its stunted and misguided views onto the rest of the world, and if we were more open about this kind of thing, then there would be fiewer unwanted pregnancys, aids cases and maybe even rapes.
I'm afraid, certanly where I come from, systems administrators don't give a flying f**k, as long as it doesn't mean more work for them.
In the UK, systems admins are overworked, have more users than in any other sector and have pressure from parents, teachers and zellots to "save the children". The systems administrators that I know who do know what linux is didn't care when we booted into it, either from a USB hard drive or a CD, and the ones that didn't know... well, what can I say? They were too dumb to notice:p
Yes, it would
In the past, parents let their children read all kinds of books. Horror stories, romances, hell, even the bible includes sex, rape and murder. This stuff is NORMAL for a child to see and experience. Hell, I was reading Steven king at the age of 10. A pannel member at a games development company stated that he read the exorcist at about the same age.
As far as I can see, there is little to no difference between what children see now and what they saw in the past. The only difference is that parents can actualy tell that their children have been looking at those websites rather than them not noticeing what books the children were reading.
never mind the mormons and their book of mormon - that discribes the exact way a man died by being partialy beheaded and gasping for breath... and they say Manhunt is violent!
For the most, I find those 'small changes' detract from the original cleanness of the game, the storage of blocks makes it easier to get rid of difficult pieces, the showing of the next six blocks reduces the risk and the shadowing reduces the skill needed to place a block quickly. Never mind my comments on the 'infinite spin' around since the game was available on the GBA.
I have been playing the game since the age of 5 (roughly), from the basic gameboy up to the GBA, web based and not, on far too many different platforms (its the first thing I install on any phone I get), and I still think that the original, maybe with a splash of colour is the best (for one thing, the music ROCKS).
I may only be 19, but it seems I'm old fashioned already... Just think, I want to enter the games industry... (sighs)
the reason 3DS looks like it "ate to many widgets and threw-up" is because IT DID
everything in 3DS is basicaly an addon that they decided to amalgamate into the software. No, I'm not kidding. And yes, for a new user, it has a steep (read vertical) learning curve. I know, I learnt it last year.
I do computer games development, and I usually use 3DS MAX.
I have attempted to use K3D and blender, and still play about with them. Blender is a nice looking interface, but it is daunting and has a tall learning curve. It uses massively complicated menus and certainly to someone who was taught on 3DS MAX a difficult interface and no foreseeable improvement to MAX from the get go. K3D, however, I liked. It has a simple interface, and its tree set-up for objects is a good way to edit and change objects settings. The only problem that I could see with this program was that the interface looked old and felt cluttered even on the 21inch screen I was using. I would hope that developers could look at K3D more and develop it further, as I believe it has the potential to rival 3DS MAX, Maya and Blender
The only decent type of encryption for Data In Transit that I know of is full hard drive encryption with something like Safeboot http://www.safeboot.com/ abd even they will admit readily that this isn't infallible and only protects the company LEGALLY.
The true question is why the hell was it on a laptop in the first place? Why not on a sever with remote access?

maybe it would be better to leave them the install disks lol
dude, I hope stallman hasn't started singing the free software song again because of your post...
Because Google actually supplies servers for this use in corporate entities.

Actualy, DNA does mutate through the life of a person. Ever herd of cancer?
never mind the mormons and their book of mormon - that discribes the exact way a man died by being partialy beheaded and gasping for breath... and they say Manhunt is violent!
Now my pc works amazingly well! (until my graphics card falls out of its slot - damn screw less case)
apt-get install adware
hell, half of the time, i get movies off the net just to skip that crap...
so, fairly good then?
