In the EU (as, I'm sure, in the US), when you buy a product, it should be suitable for the purpose for which it was sold. The PS3 was sold as a device capable of playing online games and running alternative operating systems. Following this change, it can now do one or the other, but not both.

Hence, it is no longer suitable for the purpose for which it was sold.

Wikileaks Releases Video of Journalist Killings 1671

linguizic writes "Today Wikileaks released a video of the US military firing large caliber weapons into a crowd that included a photojournalist and a driver for Reuters, and at a van containing two children who were involved in a rescue. Wikileaks maintains that this video was covered up by the US military when Reuters asked for an official investigation. This is the same video that has supposedly made the editors of Wikileaks a target of the State Department and/or the CIA, as was discussed a couple weeks ago." Needless to say, this video is probably not work safe (language and violence), and not for the faint of heart.

I was born in 1980 and educated in Scotland at state schools. As far as I am concerned, I received a fairly comprehensive set of lessons on grammar and sentence structure. This was both at primary and secondary levels.

If people are coming out of school, having followed the same curriculum I did, without an adequate grasp of these subjects then I can only conclude that there are factors other than the quality of the lessons at play.
