The accused "Elizabeth II" was the named head-of-state for the inteligence service that illegally spied on the meagupload owner.
Although she claimed to have no knowledge of megaupload, military inteligence, or the current whereabouts of New Zealand, the women known only as "the queen" was still held responsible.
There aren't anti-fascist laws, just specifically ones against Nazis
These are sometimes a bit ridiculous - there was a history exhibit at Berlin train station where any photos taken 1933-1945 had little black circles stuck over a certain symbol. IIRC you also aren't allowed to buy/sell stamps from the period
And more importantly - even if the police did get their act together and impound a router in Estonia talking to a load balancer in Korea and so find and shutdown the VM in the Netherlands.
Then 10 secs later another VM copy paid for by a Mr J Smith's disposable credit card spins up in Canada.
So new product from widely disliked company, no apps, no buzz, no fans. But it manages to match the price of the market leader who has people camping outside it's stores to look at a new model.
By this logic Lada should launch their 4wheel, 4door car at the same price as a BMW - then it's sure to sell
"After prosecuting several hundred completely innocent grannies, chavs, and the like the courts deem the system to be useless "
But the police and local council will find it invaluable.
"Ok nosher - put your hands up for the post office job" - otherwise we have 100cases of movie downloads at 250,000 fine/each we can get you for.
"Dear Mr Smith - thank you for your letter about bin collections" - I see you recently visited a paediatrics web site, please send a letter congratualting the council on it's service or we will pass this onto your children's school
On the other hand most of the senior people at the Moscow embassy in the 50s are now dead!
It's the same as the dangers of classical music, Almost all classical composers are dead yet most heavy metal band members (except drummers) are still alive and well.
Remember kids, if somebody offers you a harpsichord - just say no!
what if his neighbour hadn't been able to afford a lawyer, or hadn't looked sympathetic in court, or was a gender/skin colour/race that the jury didn't like - then he would have won and the laws of physics would have been determined by the precedence of a case in some backward US state.
>He should even apply to win a million dollars from James Randi for his talent.
Everybody who can do this is presumably already working for the NSA
If you can detect a wifi being on in another house you should be able to detect a Russian nuke sub
>dedicated, uncontended IP connection
How exactly do you get a dedicated IP connection ?
Other than running your own bit of Cat-5 between every phone and an exchange, and having a woman with a beehive perm and horn rimmed glasses plugging and unplugging network jack to connect calls - you are going to be switching packets somewhere
How would a second core help uptake in the education market they were built for?
They explained many times about the difficulty of getting a wifi approved in every country in the world - that's why even you big name laptop actualy has the wifi as a little plugin mini-pci card
> how is WinRT more secure than iOS
By limiting connectivity to VMSNET running over Token ring the potential for virus infection has been greatly reduced.
In addition, binaries will not only have to be signed but they can only be installed by typing them in from listings printed in the back of magazines.
The use of weak passwords have been prevented by the removal of 'p' 'a' 's' 'w' 'o' 'r' and 'd' keys from the keyboard
It does become a bit of a scape-goat job though.
It's like the Met's race relations office.
1, Some copper beat up a black guy it's on the news.
2 Ok, fire the race relations officer
3, Whose next on the list to be race relations officer ?
>Do you also advocate criminal charges against anyone who loses a company USB stick, or just those who work in the public sector?
If it harms people - ye. If I take home a list of people's credit card numbers and pins and lose it then I should get the same jail time as if i had gone round and robbed them.
Get drunk and smash a window at work = arrested.
Get drunk and leave a list of all the undercover MI5 agents in a strip-club = laughed off.
The capsule apparently has it's own supply at 8psi as you said and is replenished with LNO2 tanks.
8psi of 100% O2 is ok for a 3.5 hour trip.
My guess is that capsule would start off with air and then vent as it rose until it reached 8psi then continually flow O2 and vent to keep it at 8psi - that way you don't need any CO2 scrubbers and you can gradually off gas the N2 to prevent decompression sickness.
Interestingly the parachute has a way of automatically cutting off the backup - if it deployed accidentally it would slow his descent so much he would run out of suit O2 before he got low enough to breath.
Or the Eu, with a central bank, central currency and an open market have made it perfectly practical for an independant NI or Scotland or Basque country.
After all the previous arguement - you have to be part of Britain or the nasty French/German/Spanish will get you didn't work out too well.
If makers were forced to licence this patent in order to add DRM then
1, they are unlikely to automatically add DRM
2, it's very hard for governments to mandate or industry to lobby for DRM if they means you have to license this patent
Imagine if somebody had patented region coding on DVDs (well they did but they were part of the DVD consortium)
A clever lawyer can get you off.
I wasn't talking on a "cellular telephone" - I was making a VOIP call on a data network
I wasn't making a call I was recording my voice on the handset
I wasn't making a call - I was talking to a voice recognition app on the phone which was sending a text message.
For extra points match the (successful) excuse to the celebrity
Because all the studies (including this one) show that using the bluetooth hands free is just as dangerous.
It's about as effective as saying you should impound all the cars that don't have a St Christopher hanging from the mirror - they choose to buy a £40,000 car and don't bother to invest in the protection of an omnipotent deity.
And the cause of this is the texting?
If they didn't have the phone they would otherwise have been concentrating on the traffic with test-pilot like focus?
Or would they have been doing their makeup, playing with the radio, looking in the glove box for sweets, reading a magazine, chatting to a friend in the car, turning round to slap the kids
Since there isn't a specific act to ban any of those then they can't pose any sort of serious hazard to driving
I buy a MB from an unknown cheapest supplier in China, they claim to have implemented UEFI and installed a genuine copy of Windows8 - and it must be genuine because otherwise UEFI wouldn't allow it.
That's like the international Association of Crack Dealers claiming that their new secure crack pipe only allows pure crack - and my local crack dealer then sells me a crack pipe and crack and it must be pure because otherwise the crack pipe wouldn't work!
It does pose a problem for GPL3 software.
If you distribute some GPL3 software - such as a bootloader - you also need to distribute the keys to require it to run. This is the circumvention measures (anti-tivo) clause. This was canonical's problem with Grub - if they used Grub they felt they would need to release their private key as part of the GPL requirements.
If I read it correctly this is a work-around where you have a lowest level bootloader that is signed ( but whose key you don't have and so can't replace ) to boot Grub or any other unsigned bootloader.
They allow multiple keys on Intel but not on Arm.
They feel they can get away with only allowing a single OS on a tablet/cell phone because Apple (and every other cell phone maker) already do - but if they locked all the world's PCs to be Windows only the anti-competition people would be round sharpish
