Re: Hmm..

Not only can you multi-boot, you can VM too... So I guess your only real problem is the price.

@ Adreas

Sentanced isn't the right word - Ordered is, but thats semantics.

BT is required to block TBP however has been given time to do some jiggery-pokery and doesnt have to comply until much later.

Re: Too bad the death penalty isn't on the table.

@ Scorchio, so the solution to get rid of people who hate our secular civilisation based on the rule of law is to simply abandon civilised practice, and go around the world engaging in frontier justice killing whoever we like (including folk who are carrying Cameras that are somehow confused with RPGs..

If we have to become like them, to beat them, I'll pass.

Re: Legal status

Except you're not.. You're linking to a site that links to a site that might link to a page that has infringing content.... How many degrees of separation does it take to be safe?

Also, the Scottish response was relevant to the question it was posted to. A purely Scottish ISP would need to see a case through the Scottish courts... not just an extension of the current one.

@Durdy

I've owned 2 Android devices for a couple years and SHOCK HORROR! Neither have had any problems with malware or any other nasties.

I've lived in a dozen or so properties and never had a break in. I guess I don't need insurance, or door locks for that matter.

Re: Organisational infighting ?

Any sane approach to music sharing on the Net would involve one or other of these societies taking a cut from ISPs by levying these commercial beneficiaries in exchange for legitimisation of non-commercial use by ISP users. That would work like levying radio (the broadcaster pays, the listeners don't since they got rid of needing to have a radio reception license to fund the BBC in the early 60ies).

How is this sane?

At the moment, we have a system where you pay to play music, which may or may not eventually go back to the content owner - if you play popular stuff it will, if you play unpopular stuff, well you're still paying the popular people.

Instead, you propose to replace it with a system where you may on the off chance you might play music, and have this money be distributed as before.

If the first is insane, the second is moreso. I'm not in the habit of being willing to pay for things I'm not getting.

No

Win8 is just crap Tony. That's all there is to it.

EULA

Since a contract requires an intention to be bound by the contract, and most people just click on accept without paying any attention to the notice, could it be argued that the EULA is no contract as one party at least had no intention of being bound by it?

Re: Allow me to preface....

Ah, the American Overlord argument again... leaving us to again pose the question what can the US do with assange in Sweden that they cant do with the UK.

Given the case of the pentagon autistic hacker, I think we all know the answer is nothing, just some of us arent ready to accept it yet.

Re: Unaware

The statement to me seemed like classic Applebyism - Schmitt isn't aware of anything they're doing wrong because he hadn't asked if they were doing something wrong, and those that know purposely haven't told him.

Re: so few republicans

So many seemingly inteligent and rational people seem to advocate spending millions to decide how to appoint someone else to do the job of a figurehead, and then spend millions more every few years appointing a new person to do it.

Waste, Waste, Waste, waste, waste. How about we spend those millions we'd spend deciding how to elect a president on something that will actually result in a greater impact to the unemployment figures? Maybe a nice new railroad? A new school? A Hospital? A National Broadband Network?

Security by Obscurity??

IOS isn't security by obscurity - its Security by Gatekeeper. Want your code on the phone, you have to go through the gatekeeper - Apple.

Ergo, Scareware is right,.

Re: Aero vs a pig wearing lipstick

But Paul, they've spent all of this money reserecting the Windows 1 look - and its features too!

Well

Given that the cost of tickets does not cover the entirety of TFL's budget, I'm wondering who exactly is getting "Ripped off" here, becuase it doesnt seem to be the Ticket holder.

Re: Why pay to downscale?

Ultiamtely the regular consumer isn't an audiophile, they dont require "Great" or perhaps even "good" quality. They want "Acceptable" "affordable" and "portable".

Re: Some surprising omissions

Also 3 share with T-Mobile as well as a part of Mobile Broadband Networks Limited.

Re: Napoleon and his metric system conquered Europe,

Err, no it didnt. Metric Time and the Metric Calendar didnt conquer anywhere.

Re: Deja vu ?

Well No Jimmy, cos I still could install Netscape on a Win95/98/NT box. I can't on an ARM device.

Re: Mute problem still is a problem..

I had that... In addition to always muting it kept saying this accessory isn't compatible.

Caused by corrosion in the port. Swapped at a genius bar on the spot no questions asked.

Had it have been any other phone you probably would have to mail it off, wait 4-6 weeks whilst constantly making phone calls to chase them, only for them to try and weasel out of it with a claim of water damage.
