Due to someone blowing up our storage, I worked 15 hours on Saturday and 17 on Sunday. Then I was in and at my desk by 09:00 today to deal with the fallout.
Why would anyone sane want to do that? Regardless of gender ?
Would anyone who has other options in life live this life? I know I wouldn't...
I remember back when I was watching Lost. This was the last show that I watched on broadcast TV when I had friends and colleagues in the US watching it. We were a few days behind the US for most episodes. After a specific episode, one of the non-media related websites I read had a headline to the effect of "Why Charlie had to die in the season finale of Lost". This wasn't a TV news site, and it was a headline, not a line in a story. It was almost impossible to miss.
The writers / creators of that show put some (debatable!) amount of effort into creating a story and telling that story, but due to their US centric view of broadcasting, it was ruined for thousands of people around the world.
Unfortunately, none of the services you mention are available in the UK.
So I can either wait for my local stations to show the shows, and in the meantime read headlines on international news sites that totally spoil the show (without even reading the article!), or I can download illegally.

Now, I download all of the shows I watch the day they air in the US, and I watch them the following day. I've seen similar stories or headlines since, but at least they've not ruined the show for me.
The only exception to the above is Game of Thrones. Someone over at HBO seems to have some sense, and as a result, the show is shown in the UK less than 24 hours after airing in the US. So I can watch this on broadcast TV and support the network, while having only minimal risk of spoilers. But other shows can have weeks or months of lag before they hit our screens. If I'm interested in a show, I want to see the whole of it, not have it spoiled. So I either download stuff, or just don't watch it.
I still pay my GBP27.00 per month for Satellite TV that carries all of these shows, so I'm legally entitled to watch them when they finally show here. I just don't use it for anything other than some cooking shows and game of thrones. I'm timeshifting forward instead of backwards.
What does the relationship between the Euro and the Pound have to a supplier based in the USA who trades in dollars ?
Looking at http://www.x-rates.com/d/GBP/USD/graph120.html , the pound has been very close to the dollar for quite a while now. They're both weakening on the global markets, but they're keeping pretty good pace with each other.
And to NOT man airports in Munich, Paris, Frankfurt and other places in Europe where you can board a plane with no locking doors that is destined for less than 600m away from one of the event venues.
OS X has a tiny bit of BSD included. But the presentation layer is all proprietary and they're moving more services away from Open Source tools to their own implementations due to issues with the open source solutions (see Samba as an example).
And I think that some of them don't even read the question which leads to a lot of frustration.... We both have our anecdotes, but that doesn't prove either of us right:)
Many suggestions on which mirror to pick, but not a single solution to the actual question - choosing the fastest mirror from the command line without needing to install the GUI.
Aircraft already fly over that event location on a very regular basis. How will missiles stop me crashing a plane there? All I have to do is start my descent a few hundred metres early.
So let's say I hijack a plane... I'd pick one that was scheduled to land at London City Airport. Many of these have no cockpit doors, and they open the curtains before landing so you get to see through the windscreen. Walk up front and grab that plane.
Now I'm flying to a scheduled landing that is about 3 minutes by air from the main olympic stadium, less than 600m from one of the venues (the Excel Centre) and about another 3 minutes by air from the O2 stadium where events will be held.
By the time I'm off course enough for anyone to decide to shoot me down, I'm already parked in a stadium.
Thanks for saving me a load of typing. You've said everything I could, but more concisely. Sadly, I have no mod points for you.
This is a junket for some army lads to come in to town and the army to be able to say "That money you spend on us is well spent, see how well we defend the capital during the Olympics"
The fact that if we needed this solution we'd be screwed will NOT come up unless we need it.

That's a bad lesson for inner city kids though - they learn to keep demanding unhealthy candy, and occasionally stand on their head.
Many banks are now offshoring to Shanghai instead of India. The one I work for has several thousand developers and engineers out there.
It used to be possible to install maps on a TomTom from Linux - http://www.penguinpowered.org/documentation/tomtom_maps.html
However, they've even made that impossible now.

I've worked at 3 Fortune 500 companies and each of these has had over 1000 Linux machines involved.
You're speaking bullshit.
Your sig... Care to expand ?
I can't even find my original of that LP any more :(
Some people have different tastes than others. Most of us consider this to be a good thing.

I'd use legit sources in a heartbeat!

You could get Photoship CS6 framework patches for the mac before I could even order it online.
I've paid for CS2, CS3 and CS4. I will probably be pirating CS6 at least for a number of months until I can afford the upgrade.
And the USA bans people from entering because they send tweets about partying. So what ?
Sovereign nations decide who gets to come in. Nothing new here.

Yeah, that sounds about right :D

Here's a map showing London City airport and the Excel centre. The Excel centre will be hosting a number of events:

Vimes does that too ;)
Ever been to a FOB? On a good day you get working toilets and aircon!
Vimes does.
Key phrase being 'one other visa'.
Most visas I got in Africa took 5 minutes to get at the airport and was a separate piece of paper (Niger, Congo B, CAR). They were cheaper than $11.
This is still a visa.
I just wish that the UK government had the balls to reciprocate.
ESTA is something that you have to apply for in advance, cannot travel without and it costs money.
HOW is it not a visa ?
