Hi there This is probably a stupid question. I've been using
Precise 12.04 ever since the beginning of Alpha 1. I installed it for
testing, but found it so stable I have been using it on a day to day

Effectively yes.
And when we get to April release date,

Hi Paul,
I can't see that sysrq is mapped to this key here though to be honest
I've not ever used any of the sysrq functions.

Hi all,
First of all i would like to apologise for the non Ubuntuness of this

It's even harder with PAYG because there is nothing to prove who the owner is.
If the mobile network are willing to enforce that you are t
ok thanks for your informed answers.
I think its probably better i dont buy a phone second hand then!
Ive just spoken to Tmobile who have also said that if i bought the phone
second hand there was no need to register it with my current sim.

The seller should provide you with a report from checkmend
www.checkmend.com to show that the phone is not currently listed
anywhere. Don't accept a phone that has anything other than all green
indicators.
Once you have the phone, put a SIM in it an make some calls, so that

again, isnt it easy enough for the seller to have it blocked at a later
stage..even if they provide me with a clean checkmend report?
Also the network could easily enough just say that im using a stolen
phone!!!?

If you can prove that you purchased it in good faith, then they will
have to unblock it. If you bought it off a mate for cash, you don't
have any receipt, or evidence that you checked that it was not
reported stolen at the time of the sale, then a subsequent reporting
of it as stolen will be diffic
