1999/44/EC is a directive, not a law. It does not have an effect or direct consumers and companies, but governments. If you were to quote this to a retailer, you'll be laughed out of the shop.
Also, my local library supply audio books that you can download from home straight to your PC/Mac using Ebsco. You can take out the audio books for as short as one day. The software downloads the MP3 files to a hidden directory, I found they have no DRM attached. Copy paste to a new directory, you have the audiobook forever.
O2 drops calls no matter what make the handset is. Never experienced a drop call on Orange or Three, but on O2, I get several a day.
O2 are getting better though. Where I live in the West Midlands they have been making efforts to increase their cells and rolling out more 900MHz bands which makes a huge difference while indoors. My local cell 200m away from my house has been down for three days, engineers have been installing new hardware so wait and see.
For a person operating such robotics, the complexity is similar to trying to assemble via remote control multiple Lego at the same time while looking through a telescope
Sounds like brain surgery to me, not quite rocket science then. Shouldn't be too hard.
Big disadvantage is they have low torque at low revs. They eat oil too, and it's not your regular engine oil. Petrol (gas) being $10 a gallon here in the UK is also off-putting.
Rotary engine puts me off the RX8, so have an Mk2.5 MX5 instead.
What do you expect? Lib Dems are outnumbered 6 to 1 by the Conservatives. I'm surprised at how much influence Clegg has had over the coalition when his party is a small part of the government.
Migrate to Virgin Media then, I live in Birmingham and VM was down for over 24 hours this week, this has happened for the third time this year. It went down fro both domestic and business FTTP. BT goes down for an hour and everyone moans.
It's not just the used game buyer that is being screwed.
I have two PS3's, and multiple people use them with different PSN accounts. I bought F1 2011, it comes with this pass. To redeem the pass you have to use your PSN account and go in to the store, find the pass and enter the code. It's ok if you have one PS3 and one PSN account, but if someone else wants to play online, they have to buy a pass. The purchase only seems to work on the PS3 I redeemed to code on as well (must be tied to serial number or something), so you buy a new PS3, you have to fork out $10 for each game.
5 people use the one PS3, that's $40. PS3 fails, going to have to purchase the passes again that's $50. This is only for one game.
Hydrogen will never be the future technology. I have visited BMW at the University of Birmingham, and have met their engineers many times, and these are the facts about hydrogen.
It is expensive to manufacture hydrogen, difficult to transport and almost impossible to store in large quantities. It take 20 minutes to fill a 'tank' on a hydrogen car, and because they are small tanks as it is hard to store the fuel, you get no more than 150 miles per refill, and if you do not use your car for a few days you will find you have an empty tank, this is because the pressure builds up when the hydrogen warms up, it has to be vented. Also, the fuel cells have a life of 5,000 hours, the cost of raw materials alone for each cell is over £200,000!
Acorn were well ahead of their time. They made IPTV set-top boxes and was known as Pace. Psion their sister company made PDAs and even netbooks, "netbook" being their trademark.

Modding to undo accidental posting. Oh, wait...
I didn't say I do it, I just said you could. ;)
It's easy to strip the DRM out of the files.

Exactly. Record industry is, music industry no.

Try Birmingham or Coventry in the UK. :)
Soon add Wolverhampton to the list.

Perhaps it's Engtalian rather than Italian. :D
You're always hearing odd English phrases and words in sentences, even when they have a word in their language for it already.

You're way off. RISC OS 3.6 was around when when you had your 386. RISCPC and A7000 with their nifty 66MHz ARM processors at this time too.
What "ozone layer" is this you speak of?
ARM was founded as a joint venture between Acorn Computers, Apple and VSLI.
A shame they can't do a detention without the parents knowing first, as they have to give them a 24 hour written notice.
