No, of course not. It's entirely possible for someone to cry wolf 500 times, and then later suffer a legitimate injustice.
Isn't the entire moral of Peter and the Wolf that you should not 'cry wolf' unless it is a legitimate issue, because then no one will care when it is real? Or did you miss that part?
Actually in France its the other way round (guilty until proven innocent), Napoleonic code
Yes, because I am sure that the Fifth French Republic is a direct descendant of the First French Empire.
Sounds like someone doesn't want Google employees to get their bonuses. And by 'someone', I mean everyone.

Forging the SMS-tickets can get you 1 year in prison for document forgery. And bus drivers never validate regular tickets anyway, it is not really their job, but they can of course deny you if they suspect you of not having a ticket or correct one. But conductors on trains (and sometimes on busses) can validate the tickets, since they contain a validation code.
Except you used to leave letters in a box, not at a post office.
Not that I see much purpose for sending letters at all nowadays. Regardless we kinda don't have any post offices longer either, just "service offices" at random stores and what not but I guess you could leave the letters there.
But if you have to go there with the letter and show the SMS it's not that much different from buying a stamp. Somewhat more convenient but not as convenient as dropping in the box I guess.
Who said anything about not being able to use postboxes? I mean, wouldn't it be the same issue if you posted a letter without stamps or correct amount of stamps as posting a letter without or with an incorrect code? Your letter will either just get returned or trashed.
I never bought into Applethink, and after every product annoucement I falsely predict they've finally blown it and nobody will "fall for it" this time. Meanwhile they're approaching $100e9 and probably wouldn't give my resume a second look. You win.
This is why I enjoy watching all the Steve Jobs keynotes. The whole culture and sect like mentality behind Apple and its fanbase is not only hilarious, but very interesting to watch. Apple use weasel words constantly to give people (and its fans especially) that they are still the underdog company (in comparison to Microsoft of course).
Notice how Jobs almost always says 'we think this solution is the best' and 'we think this phone is the best ever'. The whole manipulation of words is amazing to watch. You may think this is purely something that happens, I am certain that this has been undertaken carefully by Apples marketing department (which I have an idea that Jobs leads).
Remember when rumours was roaming everywhere that Jobs would no longer attends Apple-events? Gosh, it was like the worst nightmare to all Apple fans!
A shorter alternative to this way of thinking about Apple and predicting their results is to just assume consumers are stupid and they like shiny things. And if it has a real brand on it, even better. Microsoft, HP, Dell, Lenovo and so on are not regarded as 'real brands' to most consumers. Apple is in Gucci-league.
Thank you. The unintional misspelling of their name probably let to the wrong results online. Though, I did find caro.net, which seems to be a datacentre.
My point remains regarding whether it is a hoax. I doubt the owner of torrent-finder purchased a machine at a datacentre to successfully carry out the hoax.
So even if they are crooks, and does host porn and other dodgy sites. The conclusion should be that either the government is lending servers for their ceases from crooks (which would not seem unreasonable) or this was committed by hackers who liked to pose as government officials (though, I doubt how they got it through ICANN in that regard, if the owner is to be believed).
This is a hoax. Whois the IP's involved.
I did. And torrent-finder.info resolves to 208.101.51.56, while torrent-finder.com resolves to 74.81.170.110.
On first inspection, those two IPs seems to be very distant from one another IP-block-wise, but you never know with the internet, so both got a whois, and apparently 208.101.51.56 is owned by Softlayer (as a poster prior to me mentions), while 74.81.170.110 is owned by Caroline Internet, Ltd.
So maybe the guy changed the IP for his
If you can only call, talk and hang up, it doesn't appear very useful to me. Listening would be a nice addition, and receiving calls as well...
From TFS:
Only capable of making and receiving calls, John's Phone is dubbed the world's simplest mobile phone, specifically designed for anti-smartphones users.

God, I love first past the post...
I thought it meant 'unpaid' or 'paid less than required'. At least, that's its meaning in Danish ('afspiste').
Before long we're going to need complete isolation suits before we can commit a crime.
Surely you are more clever than that. Everyone knows that as the equipment of law enforcement become more and more sophisticated, the trick is not to circumvent them, but to exploit them. What if you made some careful plants of other people's DNA? What would the robot do? Frame someone!
Hell, you could even make a double-bluff and plant extraordinary evidence of yourself there, that law enforcement would think, 'oh, it can't possibly be him, he's not that clumsy; he must have been framed!'. The options are endless!
