Umm, if it's not a crime, it can't be a victimless crime. Own goal :-)
I think that was my point.

Can you prove that eating a sandwich is a victimless crime?
Eating a sandwich isn't a crime.
(haha, Mr smartypants!)

Any chance (Nick) of a link between that delayed-fingerprint-burglary you're complaining about and someone's drug habit?
That's several long bows you're drawing there.

Any politician who voted for the law change, and now expresses surprise at what happened, is a fucking idiot.
I remember at the time Jenny Shipley said it would reflect our 'cafe culture society'.
Clear sign of a politician who needed to visit some different places to get a wider perspective.

“A can of beer or an RTD can be bought for one or two dollars in many retail outlets. This is less than we pay for bottled water,” Sir Geoffrey said.
I think that says more about the stupidity of the bottled water industry than it does about the alcohol industry.

It is best if we keep the law functioning the way it always did, sure. But new technology does make things possible/easy that previously were not.
Not just that, but the ability of things to go viral in cyberspace makes 50 years ago look like nothing.

- slow, low quality even when I clik the *High Quality* button
I don't have PS3, but I'd guess that you'd get better playback if you go for the low quality option, if it's a bandwidth issue. Not as good a picture, but less likely to have pauses to cache ahead.

On the... other? side, promoting that shouldn't get me any "attention-seeking slut" hate mail...
But possibly illegal in France.
