Wouldn't the salt-free ice make the sea less salty when it melts?
I'm sure I heard something about the decline of saltiness would change or destroy the gulf stream, leaving the UK without that special warmth we get from our american cousins...
In fact, this Wikipedia article on Daniel Brandt makes interesting reading. It's surprisingly long, I hope that doesn't mean it's plagerised from somewhere;-D
"I don't regard him as a valid source about anything at all, based on my interactions with him... He considers the very existence of a Wikipedia article about him to be a privacy violation, despite being a public person. I find it hard to take him very seriously at all. He misrepresents everything about our procedures, claiming that we have a 'secret police' and so on." - Jimbo Wales
Even there I don't think there's enough information to actually make a judgement on this. What algorithm did he use. Where are they plagerised from? How can you tell who copied who (there's a LOT of plagerism FROM wikipedia)? Where's the data? How did he select the articles?
"You may not carry weapons." - well I'm glad about that. The UK has a long history of not having weapons in civilian life (even the police don't normally have weapons with them). I don't see that contries with weapons are safer.
On the issue of time, most CCTV footage is only arround for a few weeks, if that. Plus the camera has to work and have film in it, which seems to be a struggle for many camera operators.
The main reason for CCTV footage is to provide evidence that a crime was commited, rather than discoraging you from going on a killing spree. But a lot of the time this evidence is insufficient to prove something in court, so there's not a lot of point.
`` Jimmy Wales said: "I nominated Florence to be the Chair of the Foundation in recognition of her outstanding service for the past few years and her unsurpassed passion for our goals. Having such a trusted community representative elected as our new chair demonstrates the growth and strength of our organization." ''
(even more offtopic) The BBC are probably bringing in advertising on bbcnews.com quite shortly for non-UK people. At the moment, most of the bill is funded by the propaganda, I mean, foreign office.
In negative refractive index ("left-handed") materials, the effective speed of light is greater than the speed of light in a vacuum (don't ask me how). So you can go faster even than that.
In principle, the law is simple: you can only use personal information about people if they are a) dead or b) give you permission to do so. You then have a duty of care to make sure the data is not stolen, etc; and you have to say to the Data Protection Registrar that you are holding personal data.
Actually the law is not that simple really, because of the definition of "personal data", and a whole load of exceptions. Plus theres some other stuff about direct marketing and stuff.
Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA) says it was first invented by Clifford Cocks at good ol' GCHQ. I also read that somewhere in a book, so it's probably right.
The main problem with building one of these things now is the lack of suitable materils for the cable. ALL currently known materials would break under their own weight.
It's a serious point. You could make a lite version. Lots of people would give it a try, me included. And there have already been forks of Firefox, like IceWeasel and Tor Park.
If it were talking about forking IE, it should be labeled "joke". As it's talking about Open Source stuff, it should be "insigtful".

This law will do nothing against them... because they live in eastern european counties
I think they're probably just hobos. I mean, do they need to stand in line for days on end to get one? I think not.
I think they're probably just hobos anyway. I mean, do they need to stand in line for days on end to get one? I think not.

Oops, sorry. Couldn't see the wood for the trees :(

In short... show me the evidence.

For the record, Google did not create Firefox.
>1% marketshare. Damn right!
Is it me or does the new WMP look almost exactly the same as Songbird?
Ah, just me then.
If only I had mod points :(

You know that site doesn't format right for firefox? My screen is 1024x768 which is not outlandish. Perhaps it's cos I'm still using 1.5.

It's a little harsh to call that a troll.

Don't forget theres actually a lot of music from non-riaa record labels
... er... MySpace.
Theres "big" labels like Magnatune, plenty of small ones, and some cases of artists selling music themselves, like,
