The former telco monopoly in Latvia uses phone-booths. It's just about the perfect solution to both wi-fi coverage and public phone disuse, I'm surprised I haven't seen it anywhere else.
we have that in Scotland and i suppose the rest of the UK too.
a shed load of BT(british telecom) public phone boxes are wifi hotpots. however there is , as stated above some strings
they are bundled with a british telecom or any of their partners packages and a lot of the less technically adept BT DSL subscribers are inwittingly letting other people use their wifi via the BT Fon wifi setting in the BT homehub router.
Actually this is a misnomer. The US was established on freedom of and from oppressive religion. Many of our founding fathers were atheists/Deists (For the pre-darwin time I would consider deism pretty close to atheism, considering they more or less believed that god takes no active part in the world today). In god we trust was added to our money, and "under god" was added to our pledge in the 1950's. Both spit in the face of what the founding fathers had intended with separation of church and state.
this post is 100% spot on.
to claim a christian foundation for the USA is blatantly rewriting history
1,100 high-tech employees on the processor side of the fab, and more than that on the flash memory side. A $3.6 billion construction project. Yes, I'd say they will appreciate it.
not just that if you actually look it's more
The 1.6 million square foot factory cost $3.6bn, but the total investment is closer to $9bn, according to Austin Chamber of Commerce, making it the largest-ever foreign investment in Texas. According to Reuters, the fab ramped up to full production at the beginning of December.
that's a fair wad of cash injected into the local economy and not an investment to be sniffed at at all.
Reuters has an article on it HERE
What you seem to disregard is that Iran is now ruled exclusively by a religious leader, and that his dog Ahmadinejad doesn't just not get along with Israel, but calls out for the destruction of Israel pretty much any time there's an open microphone nearby. He does so even though Israel has never done anything bad to Iran and the two countries even had strong military relations prior to 1979.
maybe because pre 1979 Iran had the Shah who was put in business by the CIA and MI6 and thus Israel would be happier with what was perceived "western puppet govt"
In 1941, Reza Shah was deposed and his son, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, was installed by an invasion of allied British and Soviet troops. In 1953, foreign powers (American and British) again came to the Shah's aid—after the Shah fled the country, the British MI6 aided an American CIA operative in organizing a military coup d'état to oust the nationalist and democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh.

FTTC for me from December but i'll wait for Bethere tbh and not have to deal with bloody BT
you forgot BT Openreach who are in charge of the infrastructure
So what's the setup for fibre? How come other ISPs aren't able to pick this up and sell it to customers? Is fibre not required to be provided wholesale? Is it being sold by BT Wholesale in a way that favors BT Retail over other providers? If so, these are issues that Ofcom should be taking VERY seriously.
Openreach roll it out..... BT retail always get first shot at it and wholesale always delay roll out to others, basically till OFCOM kick their asses which they have been.... as to whether bt wholesale favour bt retail.. yes and that's another thing OFCOM have given them grief for and still do. openreach were given shit about their preferential treatment and QOS given to BT retail. as to why other ISP are not able to sell on.....BT were gauging prices like hell anf got caught thus the recent OFCOM ass kicking and yesterdays announcement of the wholesale price drop and better conditions to other ISP's.
However , whether it's BT Openreach , BT retail, BT wholesale.. they are ALL part of the BT group of companies which are all run by the same board of directors...... to be honest it's like you actually haven't been following this story at all as this is just the latest entry into the catalogue of it and thus my temptations is to sauy to you, Mr AC that there is a smell of freshly laid plastic grass about you.....ALL the questions you have asked have answers readily available to you and in the majority od cases BT was found to be at fault in a big way

"Geo Networks, which is helping deliver superfast networks in Wales in partnership with the Welsh Assembly,"...
The Welsh Assembly is aiming for more political power, and it wants its own comms network, that can't be "controlled" from London (ie The English). Just another example of Welsh Nationalism/xenophobia.
wow.... way to try to turn it into something it's not.
you do realise the there is a coalition in power in the Welsh Assembly don't you?
Plaid Cymru(nationalist) and Labour(Westminster based Party) so your point is moot and just shows your OWN political leaning.
just because something is positive for the Welsh and originates from the Welsh Assembly doesn't mean it's anti-English or negative
and no i am NOT Welsh, i am Scottish but we get the same crap when our Parliament does it's job in looking after the people here.
if you don't like it.... do what we did, campaign for your own devolved parliament and stop whining about how successfully the devolved parliaments are doing their job for their electorate
It's just about people who were stupid enough to buy a product that they have to intentionally "break" in order to use it to its full potential. That's not newsworthy in any way.
Wait, it was? I guess I misread the article, because I didn't realize it was about rooting your Android phone so you could actually us ICS, or for that matter, just remove the vendor applied spyware.
really? vendor applied spyware?.......
well i got an HTC android device from vodafone uk... and guess what apple fanboi ac??.... no crapware... spyware or any such shit on it.also i don't need to get it unlocked as it's not locked to the vodafone network as my last trip to Denver from the UK showed when i slipped a US SIM into it...... no unlock code needed at all.....
i can also install whatever the fuck i want on my phone from where-ever the fuck i want
Oxfam Australia is helping Ecerina and her community grow a special variety of drought-tolerant pineapples. Once the crop is nurtured using minimal water, this super fruit can then be eaten, traded for other vegetables or sold at the market for much needed income.
By selling her pineapples, Ecerina can afford to buy food as well as school materials for her grandchildrenl. Her grandchildren are now healthier and happier.
even at that bud, i'd tell the guy to jam it
i doubt there's very much he could do about it and if he did try he'd most probably be breaking the law in some way;)
the Law is DIFFERENT in Scotland you know........ because we have a separate and distinct legal system.
while you are correct in saying that they might be able to stop you taking a pic there's no chance that a security muppet from a private firm has any rights to confiscate your property.. in Scotland that would theft along with "wilful deprivation of property"
Also doing so i Glasgow would be a bold move..lol the Weedgies would have yer eye out for less!
i asked a mate of mine who is a Lothian and Borders(Edinburgh area) police officer and he said and i quote "that's a load of balls bud, they can't really stop you and definitely cannot take your kit, the force of law is not on their side" he then told me what the security dude could be charged with for taking your kit. Also under certain circumstances if the security "man-handle" you they can be done for assault as well!
MS wants to present Win8 as a "secure" platform and UEFI in their minds is one piece of the puzzle. That's open to interpretation.
The options are:
a) disable UEFI in BIOS
b) don't purchase a system that UEFI implemented that cannot be disabled
c) urge your Linux-vendor (e.g. RH) to get on the UEFI bandwagon if you're so inclined
ummmmm UEFI is REPLACING BIOS
so perhaps you mean entering the UEFI and switching off the secure boot option?????????
mind you that's IF the OEM gives you that option in the UEFI
i always build my own so won't have this problem and indeed in my new sandybridge Asus P8Z68-V PRO Z68 mobo i do have that option.. all good
i even tried it with windows 8 legitimately downloaded from HERE
and i have to say that windows 8 sucks major dick and i'll just leave the gaming with windows 7 thanks very much
so it boils down to... build your own and keep control of running whatever you want on your machine....or buying OEM and running what they let you... unless you are lucky enough to be able to have the ability to turn off secure boot...... those are the APPARENT choices at the moment
