edit: RC did you rate me? I think someone with low rep wanted me to think so, unless I misunderstood how the system works

You should be able to see a +ve rep from me from the past week, signed something like "blah blah. :D RC."


Edit: I believe the mods can see who did the repping.

Plumped for the Kindle, waiting for it to turn up. I've an 8hr train journey (and another back home) this weekend so I hope it gets here in time.

Hummed and Ha'd which version to get since 50% more for 3G seems a lot, but eventually got the 3G anyway; there's not much public (free) wi-fi around here and the rudimentary web-browser tipped the balance since I don't have a smartphone.

I have never been banned. If the government introduced a law that said you should kill all Jews would you follow it?

Can we get back on topic here... start your own thread to discuss legal issues. In fact, mods can you split existing discussion into a new thread?

Precisely, if there are laws that I don't agree with I will not obey them.

what laws do you disagree with?

[freelancer75]

That's why you keep getting banned. What a delightfully immoral approach to the legal system.

Perhaps he doesn't need to, because he is thinking in terms of the difference between Right and Wrong, not the writtten orders of the lawmakers.

HTH. Mate.

In some cases, you have a point. But arguing "I should be able to take a product and only pay if I like it"... that's totally subjective and since the law is clear, there's no debate. If your client says after the first week, "sorry we think you're not what we want" then are they still supposed to pay you?

You should read up on copyright law mate.

HTH mean Hope that Helps.

Tonight I hid a Marcos Pizza under my jumper and snook past the security guards at Lidl.

Shoplifting in Lidl's? Just how poor are you, pal?

Getting back on topic, I have a Datawind Ubisurfer which comes with Mobipocket. I'd suggest you don't go down that route. Also the book selection is very poor.

I am quite up on my gadgets and I have actually chosen to use the Kindle. I can get any book for free on binary news groups so its like having a massive free library at my finger tips. If I like the book I will usually buy it to support the author, as I am not a pirate.

[markmm]

No I am not, I buy the book if I like it, I am doing the same as someone who goes to a bookshop and has a read through the book or borrows it from the library first. What does HTH mean?

I think you'll find you are still a pirate.
