Even if she's that type of activist, the law is wrong. If Osama walks into Heathrow and admits his laptop has the encrypted details of how London is going to be nuked, the law would still be wrong.
The law is wrong.
Re: fucking her, that may still be an option. Is she cute?
They almost didn't even put a gun on it (only one variant got a gun, IIRC), because it is meant to take out threats WELL before they are visible. I thought that mode of thought went out with the Vietnam War?
Hell, the Falklands was the first proper missile war and there were still a lot of bullets flying through the air there..
- "Urgent Ring", where callers can have the option of ringing a silenced phone, or where only certain numbers will ring in (as set on the reciever's end)... Actually, I think this might exist. I think most phones (certainly the last two I've owned) allow for different ringtones for different incoming numbers.
That would help on-call medical staff (on-call IT staff can sod off;) but wouldn't make it easier to tell whether the call from your mother was because your father just died or because she's bored and wants to chat.
The death of a family member happens rather rarely. The difference between turning up 30 minutes after they died and 3 hours after they died is trivial and irrelevant. If they're known to be close to death, just don't go to the theatre.
For fucks sake, a mere decade ago it could take days for someone to find out about a family death. Most people I know didn't even have telephone answer machines. If being out of contact with the rest of the world for a mere 2 hours is too much for you then how the hell do you sleep at night? What do you do when you go swimming, play football, attend meetings? Oh, of course - you'll be one of the cunts that thinks it's acceptable to answer your mobile phone in meetings, disrupting the people around you. Because of course, family members die so fucking often compared to the other 8000 calls you receive.
What is with all the Americans going "It's not the role of the Government" to provide free health care.
Think of it a different way. As a collective group, the people of the UK feel that it's unfair for people to go without medical care purely because they can't afford it. The people thus choose to fund a national health service that provides medical care to all members of the population equally (unless you're male, single and between 20 and 50, but that's an argument for another day).
The Government very kindly stepped in and took on the running and funding of that health service. They were ideally placed for it - they have the practical experience in collecting money from the population based on their ability to pay (or avoid paying), and a lot of experience in running expensive and inefficient bureaucracies. I mean, national level organisations.
If the people of the UK didn't want 'free' healthcare for all, the Government wouldn't provide it. If the Government didn't do it, someone else would have to, and as bad as the Government are, there aren't many sensible alternatives.
wtf? I've changed hardware on every PC I've owned, and hard disk replacements are the only ones I've ever re-installed the OS for.
Win 3.11, no problem. Win 95, no problem. Win 98, no problem. Win XP, no problem. Linux, various flavours, several problems, but realistically due to my ignorance rather than the OS, and no problems at all with Ubuntu.
Graphics cards are one of the more common hardware upgrades I buy, and I've never had a problem. Uninstall graphics driver, switch cards, install graphics driver, reboot. Done.
How exactly are you configuring and running your systems that they're so unstable a simple hardware change breaks them?
(Note my list of OS doesn't include Vista. No intention of ever finding out)
I will be happy to demonstrate the less than one second it would take me to deliver multiple likely lethal strikes with a concealed knife to an unarmed person who challenged me openly Would this be on the judge, members of the jury or the prosecuting lawyer?
My previous employer got around 40% of its business online. We're talking multi-billion dollar turnover.
It's a travel company. When people search for 'beach holiday in thailand' on Google, they don't care whether they get our products or the competitions. Google doesn't care. Page-rank does care. It wants to give the searcher a set of results that talk about beach holidays in thailand.
This makes it very important to make the site attractive and accessible to the Google bot, and get it ranked highly. Sure, we can (and do) buy ads on the search result page. But $20/click for an ad adds up very fast, especially when the margins on the products are $10-20 in the first place. Generating traffic through page ranks has payback in the tens of millions.
Do we bicker about Google's metrics and pagerank? I wouldn't use the word 'bicker'. Does it make a significant difference to the business? Very clearly. Are our products ones the public wants? Our retail establishments are market leaders in their own right. Does our website suck? Personally I think so, but we get more traffic than our competitors, and we sell more products. We do have the product, it is at the right price, but online the market is hyper-competitive, and pagerank matters.
If you can't pay the fine, don't do the crime. Your entire net worth, for failing to delete 24 songs from a shared folder, that quite possibly nobody ever downloaded from you?
Hope you're looking forward to your $40m speeding ticket next time you creep 1mph above the limit. By accident. Hell, you'd be risking lives, not merely infringing copyright.
Someone made a statement in front of a solicitor admitting to a crime. That statement was entered electronically onto a computer and encrypted. The encryption key was only ever on a floppy disk.
The encrypted statement and video footage of the sole floppy disk containing the key being burned were sent to the home secretary, along with a suggestion that under the law he would have to lock himself up for failing to provide the encryption key to an admission of a serious crime (verified by a solicitor).
I _think_ it was the guys at stand.org.uk, but may be wrong.
Sadly the law is immoral, as it can lead to a lengthy jail term for someone that is completely innocent of all crimes, and has no possible ability to comply with this law.
Can you please provide the encryption key for your swap file? It must be encrypted, it can't be opened in MS Word. Oh, you're pretending it isn't encrypted? We don't believe you. Provide the key or be locked up.
That's how the law is written. That is very wrong. Immoral, perhaps.
He then yanked the bag, drawing blood. Okay, he assaulted me, and I have physical proof - I now had the right to defend myself and physically disable him. I snap kicked him in the nuts, grabbed the pressure point in his wrist, and yelled for the manager. in the uk you'd have been charged with assault for that. excessive use of violence is not permitted even in a case of self-defence.
Of course, if I was Torrentspy I'd put a NAT router in between my server and the net.
Of course, the court will demand logs from that too. But that could be hard if it's entirely hardware with no storage medium. And in the meantime they'll be storing a lot of IP addresses which all look the strangely similar to 192.168.10.x

Several animal rights groups in the UK are officially designated terrorist organisations, because frankly they engage in acts of terror.

Of course, better to be both.
I disagree. Losing the suit was a consequence of poor legal representation. The extent of the fine was still excessive and extraordinary.
Hope you're looking forward to your $40m speeding ticket next time you creep 1mph above the limit. By accident. Hell, you'd be risking lives, not merely infringing copyright.
Hell, you take away all I've ever worked for through my entire life over 24 songs, you better believe I'll have fuck all to live for.

Or until you 'remember' the encryption key you so conveniently chose to forget.
Or can you prove you forgot it? The law requires such proof.

I disagree completely. Book 1 was tolerable, book 2 poor and frankly after book 3 I gave up and found something well-written to read.
I continue to be amazed and disappointed at how highly so many people rate that series.
Sure, because verbal disrespect justifies assault and battery.
Personally it sounds like your father is a complete cunt as well as a bully and should be told to fuck off as soon as possible.
As someone with a Scottish father I'm well up for Scottish independence.
Hell, I'm tempted to move north of the border anyway. Scottish laws tend to match my person views better than the English ones.
Then again, it's the cocksucking Scottish fucking MPs passing the shit laws in England anyway. Cunts.
In that case it's down to the subjective determination of 'appropriate force'.
It will lead to violence. I'm looking forward to it.

This doesn't mean he should be prosecuted for instead.
We pay for the BBC. The BBC use the money to provide programming over the web.
Why shouldn't we have access to it?
I'd rather they didn't offer it at all than offered it in a format I can't access.
