Replying to my own post, but it seems the majority of the entries are in the lighter green shown by the Oct 31st logo. What gives? It looked out of place at the time, and if it wasn't for the background on the entries page being lighter than the heading on the site, it would still look weird.
It's slow to be adapted because nobody is making their devices compatible with anyone elses solutions. Your Nexus 4 won't charge from a Samsung wireless charging pad, for example.
The Duracell Powermat make adapters for various devices, but they understandably add bulk. If there could be some wireless charging standard similar to the UK "All mobile phones charge via MicroUSB" system, we'd all be a lot better off.
If a police officer is already on your property with a dog, you've allowed things to get too far. It's is extremely unlikely (Read: won't ever happen) that the first contact with the police will be with a dog unit. They are called as part of an on-going search or investigation, instigated by other constables.
If you're busily chatting to PC Plod over a cup of tea in your living room and happen to have left your bong on the kitchen table, you can expect a dog to turn up pretty quick. The mistake you made was allowing an officer into your home without a warrant in the first place.
Secondly, if there is a dog in front of your home on public property and they smell drugs, you need to invest in some better draftproofing. Your heating bills must be enormous in winter.
Thirdly, search the internet for dog handler prompting and false positives.
That's interesting, because I have a Kindle Touch (1/2" shorter, same width) and wear a mixture of styles of clothes; Smart work trousers, slim-leg jeans, baggy combat trousers etc. I've yet to find a pair which will hold the Kindle in a hip pocket and remain comfortable. The best I can get is a knee pocket in the combat's, but I'm concerned about breaking the screen while walking. Other than that, it's just not practical or comfortable.
Saying that, though, if I'm carrying my Kindle then I'm going somewhere where I'll have a lot of spare time, and spend a long time there. I'll probably have a snack and drink in a bag anyway, so it makes sense to put it in there.
Firstly, "cheap" and "quality" are antonyms. Secondly, the saying goes "Cheap. Small. Fast. Pick two." Your desktop PC will cost around the same as an iPad, be quite a bit faster in all tasks, but will take up around 30x the volume. Equally your Nokia dumb phone costs £30, weighs less than a cup of coffee, but has the processing power of a toaster. Thirdly, Quality Assurance for your fast, reliable PC costs money, and you're going to pay for it. If you want cheap, buy $ChineseRipOff.
Did I just get trolled, or do you really have the mentality of a child? I'm not trying to insult you; You need to sort it out if you really think someone is just waiting to give you that pony you've always wanted.
Hahaha, good one. They pick Ubuntu to compete on, which is the only distro (excluding subsidiary forks like Mint, obviously) which has the Software Center: An app store for Linux, only everything is free.
My biggest concern with this avenue is that it's only new games, specifically from Valve, specifically on the Source engine, which will run on Linux. 90% of the rest of the games are useless. They will get Indie support, but I doubt the big studios will go for it.
I installed Windows 8 RC on my work PC today, purely because we'll either be upgrading to Win7 or Win8 come summer 2013, and I thought I'd best at least give it a go before dismissing it entirely. If you've not used it, try it; Metro is not bad. In fact, i'd say it's almost exactly like Win7 Start Menu, only it has more information on it.
The only reason I can see for hating Metro (besides the "walled garden" thing, which is a MAJOR turn-off) is that you're still navigating the start menu folders with your mouse. After about 5 minutes, I thought I'd try hitting the Start key and typing a program name, as you can in Win7; It worked exactly as I expected; List of apps with the same name, then other shortcuts in other areas, then files.
If your biggest issue with Windows 8 is the UI, then at least have a good go at using it. It took me around an hour to get used to it, and I've been a point-and-click Windows user since MSDOS 4. I reserve judgement about the rest of the "features".
It's already working. I just started reading Asimov's Prelude to Foundation, where (so far) the protagonist Seldon has a mathematical formula for predicting the future.
Yeah! Let's go murder some people because they won't let us make some solicitors rich in exchange for getting us a $0.20 credit to our accounts for PayPal being naughty boys!
Alternatively, let's drop PayPal as a payment processor, and eBay as an online store. Gumtree is a great alternative, and there are many online payment processors out there. When PayPal starts haemorrhaging customers, they might do something about their policies. Until then, though, all murdering the CEOs will do is invite them to put personal security onto expenses.
Seriously? And you think Google or RIM doesn't do this?I think Google does it on their own ROM builds. Seeing as Android is open source, though, you could strip out any of the tracking and monitoring stuff you wanted from the AOSP source and compile your own ROM.
I'm pretty sure there are ROMs on XDA which have a lot of that stuff removed. Cyanogenmod even cooks in the ability to revoke permissions on a per-app, per-permission basis. Don't like that the notepad app you downloaded reads your contact list? Disable the permission! It's as granular as you make it.
I've always seen Apple and Android thusly; If you want a uniform, well designed and secure user experience out of the box, get an iPhone. If you want things your own way and are prepared to take the time to make it that way, choose Android. Hey, wait a minute... Isn't this just like OSX / Linux on desktops?
On December 28, 2011, after being excluded from the majority of the Republican Party's presidential debates and failing to gain traction while campaigning for the New Hampshire primary, he withdrew his candidacy for the Republican nomination and announced that he would continue his presidential campaign as a candidate for the nomination of the Libertarian Party.

Anybody care to explain why this is a good thing, and why you're voting for this obvious power-hungry political parasite?
Yes, and that number should be zero. If I'm paying for the service, they have no moral right to be selling my data, anonymized or not, nor do they have a right to link it to third-party databases. And they especially have no moral right to use that data to engage in targeted advertising. Fuck those leeches and fuck the tide of slime they rode in on. And fuck the politicians who have sold us out to the highest bidder by legalizing this kind of thing.
Their response: "If you don't like it, feel free to get the fuck off of our network. kthxbai!"
If you need their service, you accept their terms. Do you need their service? Be sure to look up a definition of the word "need" before you answer.
VPN to your home PC, access Tor through that. Orbot is also an alternative, but you lose some anonymity / plausible deniability ("No, that was relay traffic. I wasn't using Tor at the time that really bad thing happened") by not running as a relay (which would be expensive on a limited data plan).
VPN to your home PC, Tor from there. Tor helps protect your anonymity by mixing in your browsing with background relay traffic; A bugger if you're on a low data cap tariff. Plus, all your phone provider sees is a VPN connection. Lots of travelling folk who tether their laptops etc use those; Not so conspicuous in the logs.
Not only is that bad Data Protection policy (Not wiping a drive before disposal? The lunatic!) but I bet it wasn't disposed of in compliance with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive).
They kept their property stored on your land for 2000 years.
I don't have time to learn the entire history of land ownership of ancient Rome, but I doubt you owned the land 2000 years ago when the stuff was left there.
Wide tyres offer a higher surface area to the snow surface, spreading the load, meaning it compress the snow under the tyre producing water. Water on ice is bad. Small tyres have a lower contact area, meaning they have a higher pressure on the snow, meaning they press deeper to the road surface.
Ultimately, though, if snow / ice driving is at all a regular thing for you, get some steel wheels and put studded snow tyres on, or invest in a set of snow chains.

You can never sign away your legal rights here. Ever.

Well bugger that for a laugh
You missed an apostrophe in the first word.

This, and increase your braking distance. Riding up the guy in front's chuff in ice is asking for a big hike in your insurance premiums.
