D&D is an English law, though. AFAIK there is no law in England against just being plain drunk.

There are already laws against most kinds of nuisance-making; a separate one for happening to be drunk while nuisancing is overkill and unnecessary. Being drunk in and of itself doesn't harm anyone else.

Ditto.

You got something against gay recursive lawyers?

Give this person an internet!

Define "file". If you use a RAID system you're already storing more than just a string of bits. What about if this "file" is on local network storage - are you allowed to copy chunks of it to your local hard drive while it's playing? And then into memory - that's another copy.. ker-ching!

A file is an abstract concept - it makes no practical difference - and should make no legal difference - whether it's in the cloud, on your local computer or somewhere in between, or all of those places at once. All that matters is whether or not you can access the data.

The company that failed to upgrade most spectacularly, and basically caused all this mess, was Microsoft itself. IE6 wasn't a bad browser back in 2000. If they'd released an upgraded version every year since, it, its incompatibility and its bugs would be long-forgotten.

That's ironic indeed, because everyone loves puppies...

Thanks for the recommendation. I am currently using Avant Window Navigator, which is almost great, but has a few irritating glitches. I'm going to give Docky a go.

It helps that the UK chlid porn (to capitalize or not?) laws are absurdly draconian, to the point where a guy who tries to report someone else's possession of it can be done for having seen it himself.

This may seem dumb behaviour, but it's actually indicative of bad usability. Many people don't understand why there are two text inputs at the top of their browser. Presumably this is why Chrome merged them.

So somebody could, in theory, discover Ice Nine?

What about people who just leech continuously?

Thanks you! I now have my band name

Indeed. Which is why Apple now have the ridiculous clause in their TOS saying you can only develop your app in certain languages. Can't remember the exact wording but I think it's something like "... anything but Actionscript"
