This is a link post OUYA: Android based console - Funding for this has gone viral.
It just crowd-sourced one million dollars in eight hours.

Looks reet goode too.

That's it.

Fucking hell, it's getting $1000 every few seconds.

This is a normal post I know right, I can imagine millions of people kicking themselves thinking, 'why didn't I think of that'.
I didn't even know Android was open-source, I thought Google owned it, so would require a market share of the device.

The idea of all those android games, and maybe even apps/who knows running on your TV is interesting, especially all those old-school emulators and other mad shit.

Because usually the only way you could upscale them would be by either playing them on your desktop or on a tablet, this could be quite something.

This is a normal post
Usury (play /juri/[1]) is the practice making loans with excessive or abusive interest rates.[2][3] The term may be used in a moral sense — condemning taking advantage of others' misfortunes — or in a legal sense where interest rates may be regulated by law. Historically some cultures have regarded charging any interest for loans as sinful and some still do today.
Some of the earliest known condemnations of usury come from the Vedic texts of India. Similar condemnations are found in religious texts from Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam (the term is riba in Arabic and ribbit in Hebrew).[4] At times many nations from ancient China to ancient Greece to ancient Rome have outlawed loans with any interest. Though the Roman Empire eventually allowed loans with carefully restricted interest rates, in medieval Europe, the Christian church banned the charging of interest at any rate (as well as charging a fee for the use of money, such as at a bureau de change).
The pivotal change in the English-speaking world seems to have come with the permission to charge interest on lent money[5]: particularly the 1545 act "An Act Against Usurie" (37 H.viii 9) of King Henry VIII of England (see book references).

There's lots in there which moves away towards other styles.

On the subject of Steadman though, I never realised until recently that he illustrated Will Self's column Psychogeometry. Happily, they have been brought together in a book a few years ago and worth checking out.

This is a normal post He's apparently been arrested for outraging public decency.
I find this strange, as being naked in public is not illegal. I can see how they might book him for a public order offence - but outraging public decency would be a really odd charge.

Can anyone shed any light on this? Maybe someone who knows the first thing about the law?

This is a normal post Usually streakers are put up for
indecent exposure - if they're blokes.

IIRC, women aren't considered to have the requisite body parts to commit indecent exposure - they're usually done for breach of the peace.

(In English law, that is - and my information is a bit old now.)

This is a normal post To be sure.
From the Sexual Offences Act (2003):
66.1
A person commits an offence if -
(a) he intentionally exposes his genitals, and
(b) he intends that someone will see them and be caused alarm or distress.

There's no distinction drawn between men and women. However, I don't think there's any way that this guy could be shown to intend alarm or distress.

*rummages through law*

Ah: outraging public decency is a common-law offence, and the act in question must be of such a lewd character as to outrage public decency. Which is wonderfully circular, and I'd be amazed if it stuck in this case. Ho hum.

This is a normal post Well, women's genitals -
- according to strict definition - are not externally visible.

At least that's the case law under the prior act. Since the 2003 act, there may be some clarifying and more inclusive definition.

This is a normal post The 2003 Act did try to abolish sex differentiation.
Sec 79(9) specifies that "vagina" is to be interpreted as including the vulva - though I take your point that the physiological differences might at the very least mean that the law is differently applied in practice.
