It would be quite uneconomical to travel just to work around a law, even though the statute of limitations could theoretically be used to make it actually work. (Just very impractical.) --- End quote --- Well, to give you an actual example. In the UK, on public highways (e.g. Motorways), the maximum speed limit, can be up to 70 MPH. But, if you are happy to holiday or something, in Germany. You can drive from the UK to Germany (using the channel tunnel or channel crossings), and on their autobahns, go to a much higher speed. I think it use to have unlimited (no) speed limit, but now it is more limited speed wise, in some places. But there are still sections, with no speed limits, for some vehicle types. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autobahn A better solution would just be to use a test track, or just stick to sensible speed limits. But some people, are really determined, to (legally), drive a lot faster, to see how their vehicle performs. --- End quote --- Why bother with Germany, go the Isle of Man no national speed limit, the police are fair but if you act like a dick they will have you. Last time I was there they had several fast Jags for mooching about in and even though I was doing 80ish over the mountain they still passed me as if I wasn't there. Everyone says use track days or go to practice tracks but they are quite often full of psychos. There are a few that are for regular riders that just want to get the stress out of thier system but the psychos are never far away. BTDTGFTS. |

I think what YouTube/Google are doing, could alienate a significant number of customers. Which surely is a bad thing? Unlike certain other things (which could probably have massive barriers, to entering the market. E.g. PC operating systems, to compete with windows). An internet video service, doesn't seem that hard of a market to crack (at least to enter, in a small way), if one of the possible competitors, wants to join it. The difficult bit, would probably be, how to get a significant percentage of the market, to move onto your new video service, along with the content creators and copyright holders.

Yep, it's about updating the 'uBlock Filters - Quick fixes' (for the cat and mouse game). |
