Unless there have been major changes in the UI since WM5, his review is probably pretty accurate. WM5 is truly horrible to use as a phone in my experience.
I've generally found mobile-review.com's reviews to be very poor. Apart from anything else they're often written in very strange English, like they've been auto-translated or something.
The next step being to pass legislation outlawing the Uncertainty Principle because only a terrorist wouldn't want you to know where they are *and* where they're going.
IIRC, there's a window management option in GIMP that makes the tool windows behave like that. I don't have GIMP installed, but have a look around in the preference window.
The strength of the upgraded sentry guns encourages a coordinated offense, I think. On some maps it turns into sentry gun/scout skeet shooting.
A well placed sentry gun can stop an attack dead, so you need a spy to sapper them, a demoman to bounce some grenades round the corner or a medic to uber a Heavy or soldier.
Back when I ran my own mail server, I definitely noticed that bayesian filters were working less well, mainly because of all the image and even PDF spam these days. The actual text is just random words, so there's nothing for the filters to work on.
Games are entertainment, just like films or books. Not every film you watch has to be a deep meaningful exploration of the human psyche, not every game has to be a 'learning' experience.
I would have said that the Human Rights Act provided that, but reading the actual text it doesn't:
Article 10
Freedom of expression
Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers. This Article shall not prevent States from requiring the licensing of broadcasting, television or cinema enterprises.
The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary.
Is that the book with all those recipes for drugs made from banana skins etc.? I remember loads of people at my school having a downloaded copy of that at 13-14 years old.
Exactly, Halo 2 is 18th on the list of bestselling console games. On the list of bestselling franchises it's even further down, far below Mario, Pokemon, Sonic or The Sims.

I'm English, my favourite sitcom is probably Fawlty Towers, but I just didn't find the IT crowd funny. I watched about half the first series before I stopped, from the first episode of the new series I saw the other day it hasn't got any better.
It was just too laboured and slow, jokes that should be quick throwaway jokes are stretched out far too thin.
This was certainly true in my experience. When I did a review of mathematical methods in my area a while back, most papers had basic calculation errors, missing information that made reproducing the work difficult or impossible, and they all used carefully selected examples to show their work in the best light.

As I understand it, a lot of the BBC's content these days is made by independent production companies and licensed to the BBC.
I think the GP's point was that there are large areas of the country with no digital reception at all at the moment.
Exactly - they still broadcast the BBC World Service on shortwave radio, after all:

Virtual Machines cause a similar problem with TM - my 20GB Parallels VM was being backed up once an hour, whenever it was running.

The one thing I miss from the Treo is the way it displayed text messages as threaded conversations, a feature that the iPhone has borrowed I think.
The Wii definitely always shipped with a Nunchuk, your brother must have got a mispackaged console.
It's changed recently in the UK, about 12 months ago unlimited data plans were a little hard to find, now they're everywhere.
I'd think that most people who are going to use mobile web will have an unlimited plan.
I'm not sure you can even buy an iPhone without one.

65,535 is the maximum number representable using 16 binary digits.
No, and there are no bugs that can't be prevented by writing perfect, correct code.
I think the problem's in the details...

What distinguishes the five best shows -- ... U.K. Channel 4's The IT Crowd...
If the lineup is bad enough the the IT Crowd shows up in the top 5, I wouldn't exactly call this a bumper line up. Sitcoms are meant to be funny.
Some of them already are:

Isn't it more likely to have been a BB gun?

Plus 17.5% VAT on the iPhone itself and the mobile tariff. Most business customers would be able to claim that back.
