Only a couple of hundred machines to upgrade remotely over the internet, many of them on internet connections that are barely better than dial up. Thanks Google.
It wasn't a conspiracy. If you do some Googling you'll find technicians at several Tesla service centres point out that it takes 4hrs to change a battery pack.
Err quite a lot of people in the UK do 30+ mile commutes. The average mileage in the UK is 12,000 miles per annum. Until recently I used to do 17-20,000 miles, 15,000 of that being commuting.
Britain is currently in the situation where uncertainty is preventing immigration, and convincing current residents to leave, =
Explain the record increase in the UK population and that actually since the referendum that net immigration has actually increased. This year since June 2016 the net increase was over 300,000, the highest we've ever seen.
There folks is the opinion of a Consumer Sucker destined to live their life perpetually in debt so they can have the life the advertisers tell them they should have so the companies can sell them ever more shit they don't need to keep the money train rolling.
Yep. I first came across them on holiday in France 4/5 years ago and here in the UK they're in almost every one I've been in. The only ones without them are restaurants they've not yet refurbished but they'll all be upgraded soon. The employees who were tied to the counter now make orders up and in the UK most McDonalds now offer a table service so you order at the kiosk, enter what zone you're sitting in and once your order has been prepared someone brings it to your table.
I certainly wouldn't expect to use my fridge between US and Europe
Actually you'll find with a lot of modern stuff it is dual voltage. You may have to flip a switch but it'll work. Most laptop chargers, USB chargers etc don't even need that, "they just work" whether you plug them into 110V or 240V or anywhere inbetween. That's the joy of modern switch mode power supplies over legacy linear ones.
Funny how Mozilla/Firefox weren't complaining when they had a large marketshare. It is called competition and if people are going to a competitor's product you need to look at why, what you offer and what you could offer which would persuade people to yours. You have no right to market share, you have no right to anything at all. I also find it quite hypocritical that you mention the advertising given the tie-ins Firefox and Mozilla have had in the past and the fact that on the leading Linux platforms Firefox has done a deal to ensure that it is the default installed OOTB browser. Maybe other browser companies such as Opera should complain about you doing that?
Perhaps given your job title you should look at your own performance and take a closer look at home as to why Firefox doesn't do as well as it should. If you don't competition get out of the game.
LTE cell towers "can be miles apart versus Wi-Fi's range of just a few feet.
A friend of mine uses a trunk radio system with linked sites utilising 5GHz wifi (Ubiquity gear for those interested) for the inter site control channel data link. The sites are over 40 miles apart. Of course LTE sites can be miles apart if you're putting them on a tower and the range would be greater than a wifi router in your house because at those frequencies communications effectively works on clear line of sight. Put those LTE transmitters in your house and the range would be no different than regular wifi.
No. Are you equating states in the US to countries in the EU?
That would not be a valid comparison legally or historically.
For how the EU works it is a fair comparison. Many regulations and laws are pan EU. The EU is barely a single step from becoming a de-facto a United States of Europe which is why the UK wanted to leave. It is literally just the lack of an EU army and total monetary union that prevents it from being. Judicially and Legislatively it is pretty much the same as the US with each country having its own laws/regulations as well as EU wide laws/regulations no different from State and Federal legislation/regulations.
Given all that, they still made the equivalent of a yearly salary on this thing, and without the inconvenience of paying taxes or having to show up in the office.
Difference is that they're going to have to look over their shoulders and it is likely that they'll never be able to claim that Bitcoin because the intelligence services will be monitoring it. When you fuck with a nation's national health service disrupting the medical treatment of millions of people, some of it for things like cancer treatments, and that nation has GCHQ at its disposal and access to the US intelligence network you need to be seriously fucking careful you do a damned good job of covering your tracks.
Have their been any ransomware attacks on the Linux desktop? The answer is no.
There's a reason for that, market share. Why release something that targets a several hundred thousand at best compared to releasing something that can target hundreds of millions? You can bet your bottom dollar that if Linux had the same desktop market share as Windows that it too would be in the sights of the ransomware brigade and Linux distributions have packages in that have vulnerabilities which could allow a similar attack. It was only last year a CUPS issue that allowed escalated privileges was fixed and CUPS is used in most distros.
This is the kind of event likely to get GCHQ involved which could result in someone expecting Bitcoin goodness to have a very unwelcome knock on the door one day.
Still waiting for solar to pass its commercial viability test and I suspect wind power is a similar story. So far it only succeeds here in the UK because of government subsidies. If I pay for and install my own 5kWh solar system the returns over 20 years don't cover the cost of the initial installation, let alone a replacement inverter after 10 years or any other maintenance.

Multi trailer setups are already legal in the UK with the right category of license, its more commonly known as "Wagon and Drag", .
No they're not. Wagon and drags aren't multi-trailer rigs. A wagon and drag is a rigid bodied 2 or 3 axle lorry towing a trailer.

Philosophical debate on reality aside, there is nothing less real about Bitcoin than other fiat currency.
My bank notes have a promise to pay the bearer the face value from the Bank of England, the bank of the world's fifth richest nation.
1% desktop market after two decades? Hardly a sign of success.

Bing has had this for a while. Unfortunately almost nobody uses Bing so everyone will think Google invented it.
If you don't get benefit, you don't count as "unemployed".
Wrong. Look at how the UK calculates it. It uses an international standard that doesn't just count the number of unemployment benefit claimants.

This a thousand time. Yes =/= true, and in SQL NULL=/=0.
Yep that is down to shitty decisions made by Google.
You are a fucking nutcase.

XP was great at backwards compatibility./p>
And that is why it was exploited so easily.
the EU makes it a right to have paid time off in usa under the unions they got that but to bad now days union jobs are going away.
Not just a right, its a law. Under EU law you have to take 20 days off at a minimum and you cannot sell back any of those 20 days.

Linux makes Windows look cohesive, and that says a lot...
That has always been the case. Linux's strength is also its greatest weakness to adoption.
There's a reason for that, market share. Why release something that targets a several hundred thousand at best compared to releasing something that can target hundreds of millions? You can bet your bottom dollar that if Linux had the same desktop market share as Windows that it too would be in the sights of the ransomware brigade and Linux distributions have packages in that have vulnerabilities which could allow a similar attack.

So they get roughly what common linux desktops had in 2000.
You could get them on Windows half a decade earlier via third party apps, no different to the way that Linux distros do.
