Seems unlikely.
You are unlikely to be trialled with jury. It'll be sealed or with a magistrate.

There's nothing to back it up unfortunately other than a number of horror stories over the years of people getting shafted. The law is extremely biased towards those with money unless its a high profile case.

Duty solicitors are private solicitors but from direct experience, they aren't always neutral. Its bad when you find your duty solicitor in the pub with the arresting officer (I was arrested and charged with assault a few years ago when I disabled someone assaulting my wife). That made an interesting picture to show in court I will say.

The rationale for police hatred is that they are less likely to be biased against you.

The human race is particularly self serving I find which is the issue.
"Dictionary defintions" are usually a red flag during an argument,
And in regards to the argument that the intent of the site was to encourage copyright infringement, as a thought experiment, what is the legality of a site which provides links to copyright material claiming the intent to be helping copyright holders find infringing material?
> Google is just as guilty by this precedence being set.

I beg to differ. Google might be guilty of this, since google has business in the US. However, as far as I understand, this wasn't illegal in the UK, and as a UK citizen, running a server in the UK, you have to be able to feel safe from prosecution, as long as you follow the laws in your country.

So, I'd say, if anything, google might be guilty, this guy isn't... well, unless you claim that he is guilty according to US laws, but that's just plain silly.

What if I had to be extradited to a different country, where being an atheist is considered a crime?
> I can't following your reasoning on this. Is your point that copyright laws have been instated unethically?

No. My point is that copyright infringement is only wrong in the eyes of the law, and not wrong inherently. Since copyright infringement isn't inherently wrong, the law can be redefined to adjust to changing realities.

> Seriously? So, if people choose to consume someone's work, yet avoid paying for it, then it's the content creators fault?

It's no one's "fault" as there's nothing wrong with not having a movie/tv industry. Human attention and efforts would simply shift and focus on something else that may or may not be better than movies/tv. I could be on the other side of the universe, and having received a stray signal of copyrighted work and consumed it, it would not affect the original content creator one bit.

Again, the content creator simply shouldn't do it if it doesn't pay. Who told them to do whatever it was that they were doing in the first place? If there is no consumer compensation then why do it? Either find a way to get people to compensate you, or do something else.

Movies and tv, while a critical part of current American culture, isn't a necessity of life and is actually a relatively recent development. People who make movies/tv shows aren't entitled to their jobs and their way of making money just like how I'm not entitled to be able to make money by leaving freshly squeezed lemonade outside with a sign that says "pay for it pleeze" while I sit on my lazy ass in the living room watching tv. It's my fault for not figuring out a better way of monetizing my lemonade (if people steal it) even if it is technically illegal to steal that lemonade. Who says creative content has to be protected. The industry only came to being because it was technologically easy to protect copyright but that's clearly not the case anymore. The sad state of affairs now is for the industry to find a cheap way to protect their revenues, or abandon it. It's reality and there's nothing inherently wrong with not being able to monetize content by selling licenses to view it. There are many ways to monetize these things and copyright just happened to be the most convenient way for decades.

It would be illogical, perhaps unethical even, for me to want more of that content while not supporting it in any way. However there's a difference between paying simply because I consumed something and paying because I want more of something. If I consume something and do not wish any more content to be produced of that nature, then I should have the right to not support the content creator, as whether or not I pay for the content will have no repercussions on the content creator except as to enable him to continue producing. They are not entitled to take my money automatically just because of "consumption" unless it is defined by law (which I have explained can and should be changed). Not paying for content is the public's way of saying that they do not support content creators. Therefore content creators should just stop and do something else.
I'm not suggesting that. The balance of power should remain in the hands of the citizens, not the government.

Have people forgotten that government is centralized servitude, not centralised control.
> He made a mistake. He should not be extradited and imprisoned in a foreign country for a decade for posting links on the internet.

He knew what he was doing. He is alleged to have made ~£150,000 in advertising revenue from the site.

He had his TVShack.net domain seized by ICE in June 2010. Any kid simply making a mistake would have given up at that point.

Instead, within a matter of days he set the site up again on a new TVShack.cc domain, adding a picture of NWA and the statement "F* the police" to the top of the site.
He said no to iOS. I think git-annex already exists for Mac OS X, and the new webapp, file watches, etc, probably will as well, though joeyh may rely on other people for the packaging.

While I'm sure there are lots of exceptions, calling it irrelevant because it's not sold in retail stores is a bit of a stretch.
As a Portuguese, our history does certainly not show that:

The Carnation Revolution (...) was a military coup started on 25 April 1974, in Lisbon, Portugal, coupled with an unanticipated and extensive campaign of civil resistance. The Portuguese celebrate Freedom Day on 25 April every year, and the day is a national holiday in Portugal.

The name "Carnation Revolution" comes from the fact no shots were fired and when the population started descending the streets to celebrate the end of the dictatorship and war in the colonies, carnation flowers were put on the guns' ends and on the uniforms. These events effectively changed the Portuguese regime from an authoritarian dictatorship (the Estado Novo, or "New State") into a democracy, and produced enormous social, economic, territorial, demographic, and political changes in the country (...)

Although the regime's political police, PIDE, killed four people before surrendering, the revolution was unusual in that the revolutionaries did not use direct violence to achieve their goals. Holding red carnations (cravos in Portuguese), many people joined revolutionary soldiers on the streets of Lisbon, in apparent joy and audible euphoria.

I understand that this "positive will of organizing" is related to legibility in the sense of James C. Scott (see e.g http://www.ribbonfarm.com/2010/07/26/a-big-little-idea-calle...). But this failure mode is so common, that one would think that it would be in mergers and acquisitions textbooks already!

As you say incentives may play a role as well, but I think it is very common that large organisations never actually consider the option of not organizing something, in this case, letting Nullsoft do their billing whatever way they wanted at first, and integrating it later once it is stable enough to allow a complex development project.

To lead an organisation, one has to know what is happening in it - This has a complexity cost, which should be explicitly managed. New acquisitions would need to be treated differently, and full assimilations into the acquirer may not be a good result at all.

I'll be attending my first startup weekend in London this Fri. I'm going on a non-technical ticket despite my tech background, I don't feel I'm proficient enough to be slinging code under pressure just yet as much as I would love to. That is the plan in the future.

I hope to get a lot out of it, I'm super excited. Yet I want to add value and pull my weight in a team. I have a strong sense of my own skills and I think I can offer a lot but I would appreciate some feedback from experienced devs or startup weekend attendees about things I might not consider.

"Nexus 7: This Is Google’s New Nexus Tablet"

It's marketed as a small tablet, not a big phone (similar to Amazons Kindle Fire).
Which is the approach the French, Germans, Russians, Austrians, Chinese, Japanese etc. take.

[See link below]
While it's true you can find decent tablets for 100€, most of them have a problem which has been a deal-breaker for me: the aspect ratio is always wrong. In portrait, circles are squished horizontally; in landscape, circles are squished vertically.

I can't understand how that can happen and the manufacturer doesn't seem to notice or care.
I'm sure any downvotes he got (I didn't moderate) was due to his making a fairly strong, and fairly objective claim -- Haskell is constraining -- without saying why it was constraining or even elaborating in what manner it was constraining.
Scrolls - Notch, Mojang's latest game
You may be surprised, but it is possible to be very talented in programming without much entrepreneurial ambition. Well, the original article mentioned "started two companies" so probably Norman is not looking for jobs.

But I do know a person who's been programming since ~12, wrote a 3D game in C++ at ~16 (multiplayer one, thousands of players), and wrote his own OS, and happily employed.
This is a really great project. You should totally promote that as much as possible.

It may be one of my extensions blocking it, but it should be more clear that this uses Facebook. If they allow, maybe include a Facebook "F" in the submit button.
So isn't this a fairly huge flaw showing up in this management style, if the cats can't even herd themselves well enough to produce a long-promised sequel to the company's biggest franchise?

I'm struggling to see why producing a chain a hit games and making the company millions and millions of $ in the process instead of working on a sequel that the developers didn't have a strong vision for is a flaw personally.

Sounds like the system is working. When and if some of the developers stand up and say, "you know this is how HL3 should be" and convince the others to follow them, then we'll get HL3.

I said that the state of being poor imposes such a high mental cost that even the intelligent poor struggle to apply their intelligence consistently...I believe that every human being should have the right not to suffer, along with the opportunity to make their best contribution to the progress of humanity.

You seem to want to have it both ways. Either the poor are adults capable of making their own choices, or they aren't.

If they are mentally competent, they have the right not to "suffer" ("suffering" isn't the word I'd normally use to describe a life of leisure). They just choose not to exercise it.

Indeed. The sound starts off with a dialtone slowed down 700x but pitch adjusted. Guess what, that's exactly equivalent to the real dialone. (Instead of recording it for 1 second, you record it for 700 seconds.)

This rest of the video continues in the same manner. It just doesn't make any sense to me.
The CPS has the discretion to prosecute a case if they deem it within the public interest, so how is this case not now within the public interest? Even if it is only to halt the extradition process.

From a news story:

> The case was brought by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, which claims that the TVShack.net website earned more than $230,000 (£147,000) in advertising revenue before US authorities obtained a warrant and seized the domain name in June 2010.

I have been unable to find any evidence that he has denied this claim, so I am assuming that what the ICE claimed is accurate. TVShack.net (and TVShack.cc) were very high traffic websites (top 1000 at their highest according to Alexa) and based on my own knowledge of advertising revenues at such volumes of traffic the suggestion that he earned >$200,000 is one that I don't have a hard time believing.

Specific to whether or not he committed a crime, a UK Judge has said he did:

> during O'Dwyer's extradition hearing, it was held by the Judge that the offences alleged were also illegal under UK law.

You missed the GP post (which was also his). He said:

"At this point it's more a case of challenging [...] the absurdity of extraditing a young man to be tried in a foreign court under a foreign jurisdiction for such an offence."

Their point is that the link anchor should describe what's happening at the endpoint. I agree, a generic noun doesn't always describe it. "Falling Bear" doesn't say the same thing as "Falling Bear getting run over."

From Aristotle to OOP, there's a long history of over-reliance on nouns to describe the world around us. Unfortunately a full and nuanced description requires an explanation of both object and action.
