EULA's are non binding in New Zealand... the Consumer Guarantees Act sets out consumers rights, and it CANNOT be contracted out of. Once I purchase something, it's mine... If Disney took them back from me, they'd be in for a bad time...
IMO, a contract which has no negotiating room, SIGN HERE OR ELSE, is a worthless pile of poo
Maybe should could have driven there, or taken a bus/train, except she wasn't informed until she was trying to board the plane... lets say you had a court date in NY and were in Cali... you get told at the ticket counter you cant fly... think you will make it via driving/bus/train? And they lied about it, in court...
I blame Windows 8 partially... some people are happy with it... and thats fine... I used it for 2 months and went back to Windows 7
Personally I blame manufacturers... they're now almost exclusively selling all in one machines, which arent that upgradable, have proprietary parts (motherboard/PSU). They also install 500MB - 2GB of 'bonus software' which just slows the machine down
Most people i know, have only needed a faster GPU, more ram and a SSD recently - dropping an SSD into a 1-3 year old PC is so remarkable, in the performance upgrade (Im using an Intel I7 870 *socket 1156* system, and only have USB2/SATA2, and my Samsung 120GB 840 model SSD makes my machine zip along, especially with 16GB of RAM)
Sounds like a tactic to let the Justice Department be able to say, "He is not facing arrest" without lying.
Plus they problaby have to soften up the journalist community, to get them OK with the idea that Assange is a spy and not a publisher/journalist.
I bet you it'd take about 2 hours or less for them to serve up a warrant... in face, id wager there's one prepared, unsigned, just waiting for the chance for a 'friendly' judge to sign if the situation calls for it
In other news, Iran took credit for the downing of this drone as well, saying they have already begun disassembling it and that 'Murica should be very afraid. Pictures have already appeared on the internet of Iranians holding cans of Ginger Ale and eating pancakes, showing their cunning ability to blend in with the indigenous population in order to get close enough to strike at the very heart of the imperialist dogs!
Years ago i owned a 1GB iPod Shuffle... here in New Zealand it cost $75 (not too bad i thought).
Somehow the plug which goes into the audio plug on the Shuffle to charge it, broke... so i looked at replacement chargers...
$60 from Apple (yes the player with charger was $75)
I don't see how it's "entirely fan-made". Under current law, a translation of an audiovisual work's original script into another language is a derivative work.
At what point... lets take something famous... "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn"... at what point does copyright kick in? Maybe the whole thing? part of it? maybe "Frankly my dear, I don't give a"? or maybe "Frankly my dear?" or how about "Frankly"? What about if i changed it to "Honestly my dear, I don't give a damn"
Not a chance, not here in NZ... i have a 200GB cap... not even close to enough for what i want to do if i used dropbox... [Currently @ 7TB of HDD space, 5TB of which is used] (Strike One)
Also, with the TSA crap.... no again (Strike Two)
I dont have to pay to store data on my HDD's... (Strike Three)
Its not about what hes said so much, as what he may say... i bet you theres A LOT more the government doesnt want you to know, that he has access to/copies of
Now, i wonder how many American's will be charged for crimes against the STATE in China, for example, supporting pro Tibet movements... After all, if its good enough for the goose...
Slashdot Mirror
"Govt. Watchdog Group Finds Apple Misled Aussies On Consumer Rights"
Which Government? China? France? Kenya? Brazil? Rome? Would be more helpful with which country this involves in the title

Flying is a privilege, not a right. She can just drive to court.
It's not like we don't have interstate highways in every state in the union.

This company should have hired the RIAA's lawyers...

Everyone should watch 'Please Remove Your Shoes' http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1600841/ as the Israelis do it MUCH better

I heard North Korea did it
I have a HTC One X, and a facebook account, yet it says its incompatible?
Racial profiling wouldn't work... how about the likes of Timothy McVeigh, Theodore Kaczynski, Eric Robert Rudolph... etc etc
They killed off the support for the blog view, and now the site is terrible to read... i prefer slashdot in its current form...

I'm upset, and yet not surprised.... sigh
Well damn, better go tell Microsoft to stop making Excel... *facedesk*
How the heck does this happen?
US weather satellites are rapidly dying... these need to be replaced
You'd need a very very strong encryption method for this.... and even then...
And if anything thinks RFID security is 'good enough', *facepalm*

You think it matters what you use for email? If its not encrypted, you can assume PRISM is reading it
Even though neither site is located in the UK, police believe that sites’ operators are committing crimes there.
Wonder how the UK police would feel if China, Iran, or North Korea accused them of commiting crimes against them... even though theyre in the UK
Does it come in 3XL or bigger?
Unplug it from power outlet and the network? Lets see if its ALWAYS ON then? ;)
Good... someone has to teach the Govt, and the NZ Police, and the GCSB that we have laws to be followed...
And the FBI as well
