They call it "SneakerNet" and all of the largest military forces, from Romans to the Ottoman Empire, conquering significant portions of the surface of the planet, were organised predominantly with this sole resource.
Britan is widely held to be the highest crime rate in the western world, and the rest of Europe isnt that much better? Where in the world are you pulling that from?
That's nothing. I watch Road Wars (UK police shockumentary) with a lot of car chases. I think I might be on a list of known car thieves now.
Oh, and I'm more than likely guilty of: Assault, public nuisance, drunk and disorderly, ABH, GBH, drunk in charge of a vehicle, various counts of posession of a controlled substance, an offensive weapon, breaking and entering, robbery, and vehicular manslaughter.
Indeed. By far the best movie I've seen this year is District 9, and the closest a big centralised studio came to that was TriStar getting distribution rights i.e. No input on the film at all. Essentially, the guy who made this and this was offered $30m by Peter Jackson to do whatever he wanted after the Halo movie fell through.
The great thing about wireless is that you don't need LoS to the access point. You could be sitting outside* and still be able to access their connection.
* YMMV, not representitive of all outdoor places. Expect to be thoroughly disappointed.

So when one of your employees (if you have any, you may be one yourself) heads out and gives your IP (or products) away in a busy city centre, that's your new plan is it? That's your business model? Because that guy is your company. He makes all of the decisions, and he obviously consulted you first, or doesn't need to.
When your legal team is in Vancouver and your office is in Redmond (just picking random places) it might be difficult for everyone to chat about every single thing. Accept that this decision could have been made by some jobsworth solicitor, and the guy at the top may not have known until the fallout.
"In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion."
Karma butchery aside, everyone who modded this post troll is an idiot. Since when was expression of opinion and description of personal experience in any way inflammatory or extraneous? This is my experience with Linux. I am not trolling.
My 8800 GTX has not had working 3D graphics in: - Ubuntu since 6.10 (not tried latest, downloaded yesterday) - Mandriva (since is was Mandrake. Graphics card may not have been the same at that time, but I try each version) - Fedora Core (Since RC4).
I may have more luck with latest Ubuntu as I will have Internet access on the same box (wireless setup never worked). I would post regarding success / failure, but I'd probably be modded "redundant." It's obvious that it already works; You all say so, so it must be true.
You're modded funny, but this is why I use Windows. Since I moved into my own house and can put cabling where I want (negating the horrific experiences I've had with wireless networking), 3D graphics issues are the only thing stopping me migrating to linux.
You've lost me already. I'm having to look up what "man" does.
This is the problem with documentation. I have no idea what "man" "grep" or "ls" do. If you tell me that "man" is "help", "grep" is a word search function, and "ls" is like "dir" then I'm fine. But that's not there.
I don't find paying sites; I'd pay if I could guarantee an answer.
What I find is "Oh, open bash and enter grep I lspsi > 0 !foo and point ndiswrapper at the firmware from the windows driver"
I read it and think to myself "Great. Now I know how my users feel. WTF does that mean?!" I'm sure all the information I need is there somewhere, but filtering through all manner of gobbledigook to find out what the hell someone is saying often takes more time than fixing the damn problem!
Mac OS X doesn't need documentation. It is written with specific hardware in mind, and comes pre-configured for it.
Debian doesn't come with the appropriate drivers and conf files edited for my Gigabyte motherboard (and on-board sound, LAN, and chipset), my nVidia graphics card, and my PCI USB2 card. OS X doesn't need them.
But that's the point; I don't think this is ISP level. This is VoIP by the telephone company, who already hold records for geographic location based upon telephone number (at least in the UK). Surely changing 212-555-4193 to 81.44.255.255 is arbitrary.
So bring some Prior Art into the equation, get the patent invalidated, then license the tech to MS for an insubstantial fee ($500k perpetual license including derivitives, for example).
Why can't IP be linked to a geographical location as well as your PSTN line can? I'm fairly sure that it would be trivial for the phone company to assign static IPs to IP phones and link that to an address, the same as they do with the POTS.

Dear US of A,

Sincerely,

If I weren't a Scotsman, I wouldn't think that was about the funniest thing I've read today.
My head aren't not a splode.
US unemployment rate eases to 10% (4th Dec 2009)
Current US population: 304m
304,000,000 / 10 = 30,400,000 aka 30m
Still don't think your system is broken?
No more WoW for Canadians, then.

I suggest you watch it.

Yeah there is. Try saying to one "Actually, you have a point..."
