Are you sure that that's the only circumstance in which an officer may breathalyse? From my memory of Traffic Cops, they routinely breath test anyone stopped for most other reasons to determine if it's a contributing factor. Witho

I could entirely believe that to be the case, but the creator's alleged responses on the comments page would seem to cast doubt on him at least telling the truth about that.

Ignoring the last point, this is probably why the HTML5BP loads from the CDN but fallsback to a local version if the CDN can't be reached.

I think the "Sign up" copy on the button might be a bit misleading, because as a user I'm not really signing up for anything...

I'm not quite sure it's quite the same as saying that Western designers have "mastered" the web, but my memories of Japanese websites from ten years ago are remarkably similar to how they look today. It seems more releva

I'm slightly sad about the return of the start button too, I'd have been happy with an option to disable it.

I'm just doing the upgrade at the moment: the download was 3.4GB and was maxing my connection, but the install has taken an hour so far, but this isn't on an SSD. The process looks like it's coming to an end soon.
