I thought this was how it worked already?

Surely making politics more interesting for the general public is a good thing?

It might get people interested in a subject that has a social taboo surrounding it, as well as being fairly intimidating at first; I know I'd like some sort of simplified breakdown of things half the time, which is why I try and catch Newsround if I can (if you're not British, it's a child's news show).

The problem being is that I can see it being terribly biased; maybe I'm spoilt a little bit from the fairly neutral BBC.

There's an app^Wpoll selection for that.

Even though I have practically zero knowledge of the topic at hand, I can imagine the advantage is that this propulsion system means that you don't loose any mass while gaining acceleration.

This means you don't have to lug around huge amounts of material to throw out the back of your spaceship, it just means you need some way of producing energy (solar cells?) to power the drive.

More specifically, I meant to link to the small section named Scientific Laws at the bottom of the page.

Silly me!

I don't think that means, what you think it means: Scientific Theory

I'm sure the actual law has some more rigorous definitions (not necessarily any less ridiculous mind you) of what a conversation consists of.

Now what I'm wondering is, how can I know what age someone I'm talking to is?

Do they have to announce their age before I have to stop talking to them, or am I supposed to find other means?

Bearing in mind that just about any way of finding out someone's age would probably be a bit suspicious: asking for photo, asking for a webcam session, asking for a voice chat, or even just asking them their age in text.

I ask this because I know a lot of kids that sound more mature than a majority of the 'adults' I chat to online, although a few things give them away.

I thought nobody read newspapers any more?

Well at least now they'll spend all that money on making sure things are actually secure!

I wouldn't say JavaScript = Actionscript; they're both descendants of ECMAScript.

Actually I doubt the average shclub will know this scheme is coming into play.

And anyone thinking about joining Virgin Media will just be thinking "Oh cheap interwebz, bargain!".

Everyone seems to be presuming that his phone is at fault, but there are 2 parts to this equation, the phone and the music file.

Did your friend happen to encode his music in some god awful file format, that has DRM built in?

I can't imagine how a phone would label something as 'unlicensed' if it was in .MP3 format for example; there would be no difference between a licensed .MP3 and an unlicensed copy.

What, like this product?

I don't know about that, I'm sure it'd be better product testing than them automated machines you see in IKEA.
