Yes it does. :) I'm forwarding the link to some UK friends now. I'm glad for a chance to read the story before there are 10,000 comments. Banking law is (for me) opaque and obfuscatory at best; this is a fairly compelling situation. Thanks seanyboy. *stroke* bzzzzzzt!!!
Wow - big respect there seanyboy. It's an interesting story, too.
In my many years as a slashdot user (proud owner of a 4-digit uid, only slightly abused) I've never had one accepted. And it's not a dupe! And most of the comments are on topic so far, which may be even more impressive...
not to derail, but since arsehat's post about the suicide girls, i've developed a distinct dislike of sites still sponsored by them.
Boing Boing does and i'd like to not have to go there. i haven't gotten to go there much anyway (besides when people point it out) but BB is an easy way for me to catch up on things. so I, personally, wouldn't mind if people let me know of cool things posted there, as the individual posts don't have the ads. Slashdot is not one of the sites that runs their ads as far as i know, but i also don't usually ever go there unless someone points it out, or on the rare whim.
I got those clowns to accept a story about real-life ornithopters once, by referencing Dune ... I was unreasonably happy about it at the time. I guess 'cause it's like losing your nerd virginity.
