First up; I have type three Ehlers-Danlos, which means that my joints randomly dislocate, and I take huge amounts of analgesia. Sometimes I have to deliberately take a larger dose than I am supposed to to get home if I don't have my wheelchair with me.
This leads to episodes of confusion. So a nice big simple In Case Of Emergency button would be exceptionally helpful if I fall over or get too out of it.
Additionally, the ability to have it remind me to take medication would be helpful.
The ability to pull up Maps and navigate without having to pull out a device; it is not easy to defend myself.
Finally, robust remote media controls for the paired phone or tablet. When I pass through crowded stations, particularly Westminster or London Liverpool Street, in my wheelchair, I occasionally get absolute fucking morons walking into me, despite flashing lights on my wheels and on the crutches on the back of the chair at about head height. To deal with this, I keep a set of quite loud Bluetooth speakers mounted to me chair, and blast metal as I travel. This also motivates my pushing. The ability to easily control this from my wrist, without having to dig into my pouch, would be very helpful.
Oh, and telling the time would be a nice bonus, too.
If you want a cheap phone you can just bin at the end of your stay, Tesco sell a pay as you go for £15 - it used to come with £10 credit already on it, but I don't know if that still holds true. Tesco also just resell O2 airtime, so make of that what you will. Note that Tesco will also multiply credit at certain levels - if you put in £10, they'll triple it to £30, £15 gets you £45 and £20 gets you £60. 1GB is £7.50 - but make sure to request a Data Bundle.
Three really only shine on Contracts - don't know much about their tarrifs.
Orange, which along with T-Mobile forms Everything Everywhere, will give you what is effectively a contract level of access, provided you pay in at least £10 pcm, and what you get varies by the profile - I believe I'm on Dolphin, which means I get a buttload of texts, very little talktime and meagre data.
Yes you can - under the Data Protection Act 1998, you have the legal right to demand a copy of all data held about you by any entity, be it private or public. They are allowed to charge you a maximum of £10 for it, and if they don't comply then oh boy, can they get in the shit for it.
Nooks mount as a mass storage device; You drag your files over, disconnect and go into the library - it'll check for new content and that's it, you're done.
Calibre is free and does exactly what you specify; I can write something in plaintext, in notepad, and have Calibre convert it into various formats for me, automatically on a per-device basis; so for device A I might have it auto-export as.epub, and for device B as.pdf and so on and so forth.
You can make a PCI blank with a set of crenellations in; Loop your peripheral cables through said crenellations, padlock your case shut, lock it to the desk and you're good.
You can also buy expansion blanks with the crenellations already in, but you've probably got a load laying about anyway....
I brought back a nook Wifi back from the States when I went to see STS-133; I was also irritated when I tried to order a Color earlier in the year and was unable.
Very annoying; I don't want to have to buy one off eBay.
I suspect I'm being wound up, but when somebody is being a deliberate arsehole and intentionally disrupting any and all threads and conversations, they need to be removed. We're very lenient on bans, but the function is there for a reason.
Yes I have, as part of the scheme being run by http://americancensorship.org/. We also have a very annoying splashscreen on/index.php, which is viewable at the link if you have javascript enabled, and a big black bar over our logo at the top of every single page.
However, not all of our members are in the US; if I had to guess, maybe 10k are. Of that, how many will actually give enough of a damn to contribute?
In the past, we've had a former member we've banned file a false DMCA claim against us and successfully take us down.
We moved DNS and have been up since; For the record, 1and1 didn't even investigate, whereas our replacement, GoDaddy, kept a note of the circumstances and have notified us when that same person has tried to take us down again.
If this passes, our little forum is fucked. No two ways about it; Somebody will get butthurt about being banned and we'll get taken down, again - but this time, there's a risk of actual criminality behind it.
Don't tell me that this will be carefully used and no false claims will succeed, because we've been on the wrong end of that tale before.
Today, we're participating in the scheme being run by http://americancensorship.org/; If you run a site, regardless of mission, you should too.
Are you running on more than one core?
If so, when you launch VTMB, hit CTRL+shift+ESC, go to the processes tab, right click VTMB, set affinity -> pick a core. I had the same problem in Vista, it doesn't like being threaded.

Not all countries in Europe participate in the EU.
If you want data, O2 or 3 are the way to go.

Conceded - but it is analogous, as they have a legal obligation to disclose.

Because Activision set the pricing on their titles, not Valve.
Nobody cares. It's in a different thread, about something completely unrelated. Spamming it all over the place only makes you look bad.
Not posting AC, because I'm big enough to own my words.
You are, in fact, incorrect.
Well, that, or half the people in my village are in all sorts of shit.
You're full of shit.

Kessler Syndrome. Go look it up.
Militarisation of space is bad for everybody.
Just buy a £20 shitphone from Tesco - it'll usually come with £10 credit too.
Worth pointing out that the NC has native (but disabled) Bluetooth; if you install CM7, it should enable the chip.
Additionally, the NC is capable of operating in Host mode; In other words, you can connect any old webcam up.

Watch out for Captain Quattro, he is a CHAR.

We are offshore; We're hosted in Germany, based in the UK - but our DNS is American, and so are a lot of our members.

I admin a forum with a little over 30k members.

And those few items you can't find are the preorder bonuses, like Bills Hat - given out for preordering L4D2, or the Sam and Max hats.

Ad...vert?
What is this..Ad-Vert of which you speak?
...Didn't someone mod a dungeon from Daggerfall into Oblivion - Cybiades, something like that?
Answer my own question.... Tesnexus
Not sure if it is actually a ported dungeon, but the textures would certainly indicate that to be the case.
If that dungeon is any indication of the game proper, and not just a high level one...damn.
