Restitution for what ?
Or was that just the attorneys fees charged for receiving the letter and turning it over to the police ? ( thieving lawyer icon still not available)

Be Unlimited £18 per month, 2 Miles from Exchange and I can get up to about 10 Meg Down and 1.2 Up, no throttling, no bandwidth cap (FUP alledgedly applies, but I haven't managed to use it enough yet for it to kick in), I have been trying ...honestly, iPlayer, SKype and downloading all sorts of things just to see if there is a breaking point. Haven't needed tech support, so can't comment on their service, but their salespeople actually told the truth about my line speeds (actually slightly higher than they said) was quite refreshing
But it is restricting everyones traffic, not just the people who should be put in the naughty corner. Legal use is being restricted as well. Maybe they are just trying to get the people who don't use their connection, p****d off at those that actually try and use what they paid for.
I wouldn't let my 11 year old see it, well captain obvious speaking, its 12A so no unaccompanied kids under 12....let me see......that encompasses 11 year olds. A responsible adult needs to authorise viewing and accompany them. You don't think it's suitable, don't let them go, comes somewhere in parenting skills I'm sure. It's not the states job to bring up your kids, you have to do it yourselves. So it's the same moral brigade saying protect our children for us, otherwise they might see what life can realy be like. Why take a child under 12 to see something that is recommended for over 12 year olds, you can see stabbings and the like for real on youtube or your local city centre and why the double standards of the previous batman movies were very cartoonlike but this actually looks real , althought the same level of violence...grip...get get....grip just add reality
There's 80,000 lucky people out there, who are going to have the good fortune to get away from AOhell without having to pay extra/buy out their contract. Three cheers for Carphone Warehouse!! Now if they made it possible to retrieve their mail and favourites when they switch...naah it'll never happen
I don't download copyright music, I dont download copyright programs, I dont download copyright films. I also don't buy CDs , DVDs or go to the cinema that much, mainly due to the quality of the product being churned out (theatre is still a lot better), with the earlier comment that it is not feasible to produce so much quantity/quality by small studios, the big studios have the quantity already, but quality is totally lacking....however what I do want to do is use my connection for what I want to use it for, using the bandwidth that I have paid for, be it amateur video (not that sort) iPlayer or the many and varied uses of the internet which are completely legal (for now anyway). All that this is doing is driving people back to organised crime who sell this stuff on street corners (here you are talking about people who are really nasty and don't give a flying fig about the law) and if they get caught they just receive a slap on the wrists. How is this better than downloading off the internet. Whilst I dont condone copyright infringement...please note, not theft, not illegal, not criminal, but a civil matter there does seem to be a market and money in these products (otherwise organised crime wouldn't get involved). One thing that history has told is that banning something usually makes it more popular and hence money to be made in the black market. Provide a good product at a reasonable price and people will buy it. Inflated prices for dodgy products (designer label clothes, handbags anyone?) will mean that people will copy it and sell it at a price that people are willing to pay
The requirements for them has now spread, anybody...yes anybody who works for a company that has contact with children or vulnerable adults can and will have disclosure checks made. From a recent story, Taxi and private hire firms are now starting to have difficulty getting drivers as they provide services for the cova. As a legal safeguard for companies they now have to dig the dirt on all employees and there are not enough people available to be able to interpret the reports that are returned. As an example if you committed a criminal act during the period of a nervous breakdown and have now completely recovered, your application may not even be considered, you don't know why and there is no redress. I would think that the amount of mis-interpretations will be a lot higher than 0.02%
Accoring to the justification used, anyone who commits a crime (of any sort) should forfeit their human rights and priveleges. Whilst it may sound good, this way leads to barbarism and goes against hundreds of years of campaigning for these rights. If we wish to throw away all this progress, so that a few corporations can (possibly?) make some more money (by also restricting the rights of their employees)
The actual reason for the lack of indicators is purely down to a design fault, when designing the front light clusters, they only left room for the car to have either indicators or blinding headlights. This is given as an option when the car is purchased, you either have indicators or blinding headlights.
If looking around for a car and someone tries to sell you a BMW, just thank them and advise that your driving is not that bad
Why more people are currently buying a PS3 than an Xbox 360, reassuringly expensive anyone? maybe just better. Just in terms of games, how much longer has the Xbox 360 been out? Hmm quite a while to create more games for it than the PS3....and that's before I get on about account hijacking on the Xbox
There were roughly 60,000 people born in the UK last year, so if 20% of them get taken in phishing scams, that's 12,000 people. there are 525,500 minutes in a year, so that means there is only one born every 43.8 minutes. PT Barnum eat your hat
Mines the one with "watch out, I'm on something" on the back
Neither Math or Maths are "proper" words, as they are both a shortening of mathematics. If you're going to be pedantic please do it proper like. Also could we please change alluminium back to it's proper name of Aluminum....one thing the merkins have had right for ages. And just for the record I don't give a stuff what the supreme court says
Whilst I applaud your couragous decision to upgrade to SNP0.7, which in certain circumstances runs better than Lab9.7 particuarly in regard to hidden resources being input into the MPbackpocket.£££ subsystem, which curiously was never documented, or if it was the subroutine shredder.doc would be called to intervene. However there does seem to be the problem that SNP0.7 does not have the required quorum voting rights in order to run the full system, without relying on Lab9.7 or the trial programs LIBdem0.0, green.net or the highly unpopular C+U to agree with it. I would also be concerned with the new hardware requirement required for this Os as it seems that the more processors that you have working and the harder they work, the more resource they would be required to give up to maintain their current sockets, this could also lead to there being a shortage of resources collected by the OS to provide services to the processors that were available under Lab9.7. It is also worrying that this OS may have the ability to branch off from union1700.uk which has been functioning perfectly for centuries and form proprietry software, which nobody has a clue what it is doing and when it will do it
If you look up the latest game to be released, you will find dozens of links to trackers on google, should they then be liable for aiding and abetting. the crime is not knowing something but actually using it. I can quite happily think about starting a cannabis farm, even buy the seeds and look up information on how to do it (all legal). It only becomes a crime when I actually start the farm up. The suppliers of the information and seeds cannot be prosecuted, just me.Likewise, the people visiting sites like the pirate bay can think about downloading, get the information. The crime is committed when they start the download/upload, the trackers cannot be held liable for someone elses pre-meditated act of piracy
Got caught a fair few times, even caned. ended up a reasonable citizen with respect for other people, property, authority. The one thing good punishment does do, is make you responsible for our actions. Pranks at school were worked out on the likelihood of getting away with it. the more likely a caning was in the offing, the less likely to be carried out. Just normal risk/reward. Currently no matter how severe the exploit, there is virtually no chance of a meaningful punishment, which does give the impression you can do what you like and get away with it
So for a program starting at 7.00pm you will probably get to see the first image (allowing for adverts at about 7.03) you would get an ad break of 3 minutes at 7.10. another one at 7.20, then the program actually finishes at 7.27 to allow for more adverts.
total time of program 21Mins
total adverts 9 mins...almost a third of the time spent watching adverts........I'd rather sign up for spam
You mean that they completely and utterly shafted the channel sellers, when they went direct, stole their customers and then aggressively sold against them...you think that they are going to come back easily and say I want another chance to be completely shafted...................................mines the one with kick me written on the back
This smoking, beer swilling fat git is definitely not a sponger, currently paying super tax, so how the fluff can I be called a drain on the social? propping it up more like at the moment. Also chris do you not go down to the pub, or with views like that have they barred you?....if you had any mates to go with in the first place
I'm sure the beancounters involved will be slavering at this news, as it is basically going to reduce the amount of bandwidth that is used (for legal downloads or otherwise), so they can then sell this on to more people. Simple fact more people paying and not having to bother about infrastructure upgrade costs = more money in the bank. that's why they are interested. Usual lack of respect for the customer.......it means more money for us so screw the customer
"you can bet any money the Sun, the News of the World and the Times will start a smear campaign against Labour" It might be just me, but they started this a couple of months ago!!
Or could this just be that it doesn't matter which political party you belong to, you just need to be an egotistical, self serving, corrupt person to be able to serve your community.
As they say, politics is just showbiz for ugly people
Personally I think this is great, all our younguns are getting back in to doing algbra again, w00t seems to be a splendid equation. I would like to question the advisability of putting in a dictionary though, surely the maths text book would be a proper place
