  • Does the recent legislation regarding lesbian and gay marriage apply to Scotland and Northern Ireland?

    I was trying to determine which Parliament in the UK handles the matter and legal definition of marriage. Does anybody know?

    Thanks.

  • Business Partnership and Law Suit?

    In the St. Lawrence County of NY, USA there is a registered business owned by two people. One is apparently the principal partner but for the purposes of this question let's assume they are equal partners. If the one partner commences legal proceedings against a third party but the second partner does not wish to and would not but for the partnership being equal, what recourse does the second partner have in this case to stop the proceedings?

  • Honouring the Wishes of the Dead?

    I happen to possess the ashes of my late departed stepfather. I am led to believe he wanted his ashes strewn about the ocean at one of the beaches on the Yorke Peninsula or at least that's what my mother said. However, she is now dead and I have the ashes and I'm not sure what to do with them.

    They are currently siting on a chair on my lounge room.

    Various options include:

    * do nothing (what I am currently doing)

    * disperse them to sea close to me

    * disperse them to sea where they last lived

    * inter them in her grave

    * inter them in my church's memorial grounds

    * inter them "somewhere" but I'm not sure where

    I am of the mind to inter them in her grave but I'm not sure. There's no will and I am the legal "owner" of the ashes.

  • JUnit or TestNG - For Inexperienced Java Developers?

    I have a small but very important application written in Java that exposes its methods by SOAP calls; it is currently hosted by JBoss GA although any other compliant application server could host it. It uses Spring 2.5 to wire a small number of beans together and Hibernate to communicate (via the MySQL JDBC adapter) to our database.

    Although I can work with the application without an IDE I prefer to use Netbeans 6.8.

    That said, our Java knowledge is enough to understand this application but we're certainly no Java experts. We chose to write the application in Java because the upstream provider provides the best level of service for Java versus other solutions as it's their preferred solution.

    Now, I'm attempting to determine whether to use:

    * TestNG

    * JUnit

    TestNG claims it is better than JUnit but I'm not entirely certain if it is and whether its points of differences would matter in our case.

    Thanks,

  • Soap in Public Rest Rooms?

    Let's say a public rest room (toilet, men's room, washroom) has a single bar of soap to use. It's normal, cheap soap so it's not formulated with any specific anti-bacterial ingredients.

    Is it hygienic to use? That is, are you more likely to get a communicable disease (a common cold, one of the 'flus, somethin worse) if you DO or DO NOT use it?

    This has always perplexed me...
