my Dad in every sense of the word. Daily, he lived his life with integrity, honest and kindness and was the most honourable man I have ever met. It is my privilege to have had him in my life
and I will miss him for eternity.

Such as you are innocent until proven guilty and you cannot be required to incriminate yourself. Although they can hold you without charges for up to 20 days and you can’t just tell them you won’t talk you have to refuse to answer each question not just refuse to answer questions period. They are different in that non citizens do have fewer rights even if they are in the country legally. If I got married in Japan and had children and didn’t become a citizen and my wife died I would only get custody of my own children if my in-laws didn’t object. Lucky for me that’s not a problem since I don’t have kids or a wife.

As it is now both sides have points but they aren’t going about it the right way.

Xanthippa says: voiding the warranty is not a problem!

Some people were being criminally charged for jailbreaking their stuff because the manufacturers said doing this was the same as stealing their IP.

Which it isn’t – as the courts have ruled.

So the laws that take this into account are about to lapse – and need to be renewed and extended to all electronics.

That is all I’m trying to say.

The prospect of digital mentors intrigues me and I’m sure I know lots of communities who could benefit. I’m going to go away and read the summary now and see how low carbon communities / climate change groups can benefit. Using online tools is another way we can reach communities and allow them to participate in climate change initiatives, it’s an extra dimension to the methods of participation we already use and we need to support groups to learn how to use the technology to their best advantage. Tonight I’ve got a telephone meeting with a community project in London who are interested in participating in the Low Carbon Communities Conference in October. They can provide a venue and willing volunteers but they’ll need a “digital mentor” of some kind to help them with the technology and tools they’ll need if the event is going to be more than just an opportunity to watch events from a distance.

They seem like state-funded private-sector-vendor training providers to me.Have I got the wrong impression of both of these?

I am a bit worried that between the Empowerment Fund (targeted at big organisations) and CommunityBuilders/Grassroots Grants there’s an innovation/thinking shaped hole.
