The UK consumer program Watchdog did a peice on eBay not long ago. Users had experienced fraudulant transactions and downright theft via. other eBay users but had been stonewalled when they tried to complain to eBay to get the problem resolved. Watchdog found it near impossible to contact and speak to a real human being at eBay. If a TV production crew couldn't speak to anyone, what hope do normal users have?
Was that the one where they had the head/boss/spokesman for ebay uk on the show discussing some of the issues with the presenters? See here for details
Well the shop my girlfriend (yes I have one, and I read/.) no longer accepts your "funny money" simply because of the number of fraudulent scotish bank notes they have seen recently.
I can understand the problem though, how can you spot the difference between the fake and the real note when you've never seen the real one before?
Its been a while since I did anything Amiga...
But basically you're right. With OS3 datatypes were introduced along with a program called Multiview. Multiview can open and display any type of file - so long as you have the appropriate datatype installed. As such multiview was used for reading Amigaguide files (think html), pictures, music, video, plain text.
It'll carry 840 max (see: BBC). It depends on the seating configuration.
I would imagine to carry the luggage of the 800 passengers they won't carry any (or atleast as much) freight.
One option is a firefox extension called Bookmarksftp which basically uploads your bookmarks to a ftp server and downloads them as and when asked (or automattically). A version compatible with Firefox 0.10 is available here
To get the bookmarks in IE bookmarkstofav will do, but theres no proper version for Firefox 0.10
If a story just has columns of abbreviations and numbers and words like "liquidity" and "divestiture," you're reading the financial reports by mistake.
Very handy program, integrates with Windows... select a batch of mp3s, right click, properties, mp3info. Very customisable handles batches of files pretty well.

urgh, yes unfortunnatly. All greem, and all the same size. How any blind people in the US manage with money I don't know!
With different designs on the coins theres still plenty of room for fake coins.
Anyway the euro notes all look incredibly bland and boring.
Would make life easier to have the same currancy though.

Two rules of /.
1) Most posters don't actually know what they're posting about.
2) Sex isn't something we know anything about.
Both apply to the grandparent post
More e-mail is sent than conventional post....probably... but I don't see e-mail being called mail any time soon
Was slow when reading it as a /. subscriber.

And they also are often pure fantasy fantasy.
Well on Blue Peter the brand names on anything is obsured (usually with tape). I guess they still do that, not watched in years.

Just bite the bullet and get a digibox (they are only 30 GBP or so)! :-)
I'd love to, but theres no reception in the village I live in.

Well that'd save on their bandwidth a fairbit then wouldn't it?
Hmmm
Better picture quality
No bandwidth problems
My sofas more comfortable than my computer chair
My TV is bigger than my monitor
No adverts (BBC)
No DRM
No privacy concerns
etc... etc...
So now you can just microwave the AOL discs and have a light low-calorie snack
Either way it leaves a bitter after-taste

Install the "Things they left out" extension, you can then change how Firebird/Mozilla handles MIME-Types.

I guess then that I'm a terrorist as I obviously have links to terrorist organisations?
