Maybe not to your generation.

Maplin used to be a place with a great catalogue full of electronic components I could order by post or later on on-line.
If they'd stuck with that as their business model rather than insisting they needed high-street outlets, they might not only be in better shape, they could have evolved into a UK competitor to Amazon.
In fact as a first worlder, isn't London and NYC basically the most identical 2 cities you can pick across countries?
Why pick London at all, if you're trying to appeal to the concept of new music etc. surely Liverpool or Manchester would make more of a statement, and save the pennies.
See, that is where you went wrong.
(A)D&D is not supposed to be a simulation of a universe that details the rules to cover every situation.
It was intended to be a framework, with some standard rules that you could then use intelligently to cover other situations.
Interactive storytelling.
Not a computer simulation.
So what they're saying is: if it's stored in a cloud hosting provider in the UK, it's safe; if it's stored in a cloud hosting provider outside the UK, it isn't.
Except there is this thing called "The Internet" which connects all the clouds together.
No, what they are saying is that whilst it is stored in a cloud hosting provider in the UK it is subject to, and protected by UK law.
Whilst it is hosted outside the UK it is subject to, and protected by the laws of that country.
Consumer hard disk drives have rarely been so expensive and surely not in the last 15 years or so.
I guess you're new to this IT thing aren't you? Speak to those of us who remember 10 and 20MB disks. I remember my first 32MB RLL drive. I also remember spending £500 on a second hand 500MB SCSI disk (yes, these are all MB not GB).
Disks now expensive? Get off my lawn!
It's because there is no guarantee that the USA will not turn on Selective Availability (yes they have stated new satellites won't support it, but who knows...) or otherwise block GPS should it suit them. Having a Euro navigation system means that both consumer and military applications are not dependant on another nations geopolicies.
@Seanmon
No, he knows *exactly* what an IT contractor is. It's a self-employed, usually competent and skilled individual who competes directly with the large IT consultancies who donate so much money to political parties, and therefore must be punished to ensure he does not get the same tax benefits that the large companies do.

Feel free to Google some of the locations to see how all over the UK this is.
USA law specifies as per current interpretation of 14th amendment of the USA constitution (confirmed by supreme court cases) that:
USA law is universal, no other law applies (or exists for that matter).
Not sure how they reach that conclusion from the 14th Amendment which clearly only refers to the USA and it's individual States.
@JustaKOS
Shows the complete idiocy of any automated process. To summarise:
Party A uses a "free for commercial/non-commercial" use image as part of their image A1
Party B uses the same image as part of their image B1
Party B uses an automated process that notices that B1 is similar to A1 and decides this is copyright infringement. It has no knowledge that the matching section of the images is free for use.
Obviously, party B is at fault for not vetting infringement claims before they are sent out, but this is going to be a growing problem.
The Armed Forces employs approximately 180,000 people funnily enough.

The question is, why doesn't the key actually cut off the engine physically(/electrically)? This is not a function that software should over-ride. It certainly isn't a function that should provide a "hint" to a computer that the fleshy part might like the engine to stop.
