Well, the same town. But considering this Town is London, that still means a 30 mile journey..
Depends on one's definition of fair. If all multi-national companies in the UK paid the tax they are supposed to*, the UK deficit would vanish. That in turn means benefits for the poor wouldn't need to be cut, nor a squeeze on the health care system, education, investment in science wouldn't need to be reduced. Hey, and maybe everyone could pay fewer taxes if everyone paid what they ought to.
*: By this I mean the corporation tax based on their profit margin as reported to their investors and their regional sales.
It seems rather unlikely to me that if you committed a crime you would volunteer into giving your DNA in this sort of style. Was it a full match or just based on a few key metrics, which seems the most common form of testing? It could be family of him, for instance.
Judging from AT&T reception, that's certainly where their mobile masts are placed.
Zing!
In the UK there is DST as well but there have been some rumblings to introduce Single Double Summer Time (SDST) (yes, it's a stupid name). This would shift the entire time to be GMT+2 though all the year. It would deprive people in the north of Scotland of a few hours of daylight in the morning, which seems to be the main opposition. For the rest of us it would mean fewer traffic accidents. But ho hum, as long as the farmers are happy.
Well, no one should be surprised by this. No one will be surprised to learn that the banning of TPB has made no significant difference to the amount of traffic to it. The BPI like the RIAA sees every download as lost revenue, where the real link is that the most prolific downloaders tend to be the most frequent purchasers of media as well. The biggest impact on reduction of illegal downloading has been the introduction of legal services such as iTunes, Amazon MP3 store, etc..
Of course, posting this here is just preaching to the choir.

There's a problem with that theory of yours. People on facebook tend to have their real names on their accounts, so the stupid/offensive things people say on there can be traced back to them very easily.
The thing is that people say both stupid and offensive things all of the time, but if you actually say them to another person, there won't be a paper-trail of it, nor does it have a potential audience of millions. As an example all of the people who say "my boss is a dick", only to have that shared by a colleague who has their boss as a facebook friend. Whoops. You'd probably say that to that colleague to their face, who might agree with it, but neither would say it to your boss' face.
