It's far from good research, and they didn't release enough of the data, but the summary spreadsheet is at least partially helpful. Still, they're not assessing which plans are used, just which ones are available.
Actually, no. I'm online for reasons of being contactable, so I can share my realtime location with people, and so that I can access the Internet when I need to. That 5Mbytes a day 100% satisfies that requirement.
I have no great need to watch Netflix on my walk to work.
I pay a penny per megabyte, and in a busy month I hit ~150Mbytes, even if I include a bit of tethering. I have wifi at home, on the bus, at several places on my walk to work, and almost everywhere in the city. I don't make a measurable number of calls/texts, and pay no fees on top of that.
I can live with less than £20 a year for a mobile service.
You really need to unpick this research though, as £44 for 1GB would be quite a challenge to hit. If you can go contract free and pay £10 for 1GB (charged per MB), then I can't imagine many people will be signed up to plans that are £44.
To be honest, I don't think mobile plans are actually that badly priced in the UK anyway, it's just lots of people sign up to crap deals, and blow silly amounts of money on buying phones on credit. You can haggle deals massively, but even if you don't look at something like plusnet mobile, where you get 1.5Gbytes, unlimited texts, unlimited calls for £7pm. Pick a random other supplier, Three, and you hit 100Gbytes a month for £21, and unlimited for £27, which lines up with the cheapest figures in their data.
That really explains why Monaco is so much cheaper, nor the other 15 countries in western Europe.
Prices reflect what the market will bear, and if multiple providers aren't competing with each other to lower the prices, you have to question why not.
It could just be that bureaucracy is so bad that it costs a lot more to provision masts, or that the bidding process for spectrum rights was so flawed that it's encumbered them with debt mountains. I haven't a clue.
48% *did* not want to leave the EU, when the terms of leaving weren't defined. 52% *did* want to leave when the terms of leaving weren't defined.
It's not for the electorate to agree on the terms, because they voted (in a non-binding referendum) to leave the EU. We've no idea what the public wanted or wants now. There is no need for public agreement, we have the House of Commons to sort that out.
It's for the politicians to negotiate the terms of what leaving the EU means, given they have a (weak) mandate to do so, given the guidance the public have provided the politicians on their views. The public guided the politicians, and then it was they who invoked article 50 to begin the formal process. Until article 50 had been triggered, nothing of legal relevance had happened.
It's also for the politicians to choose say that the deal they've negotiated is terrible, and it's in the UK's best interests to stay within the EU. They have no requirement to put that to a second referendum. "No deal is better than a bad deal" unreasonably removes from the table the option of staying within the EU.
*Did* they ignore it? The wonderful thing with intelligence is you don't get to hear what they did or didn't do. They might have investigated him and found him to be mentally unstable with an interest in terrorism, but the evidence may have fallen short of proof of criminal activity.
If that was the case, we can do what the US do and intern people without trial, or we can let them remain free in society. If there are enough people like this, you can't effectively monitor them all, so you have to accept that sometimes people will slip through. How much of your activity you redirect towards internal security is a choice your government has to make, and there's no right answer.
You could end up concluding that the UK is spending a reasonable amount on security, they followed the procedures, and the procedures were reasonable.
Have it apply to all countries that cooperate? With the US govt having collected together all the necessary patents for a global standard, I think you'll find other countries rapidly disengaging with US patent law. I don't see how that can work, at all.
I think you should be asking what's different between the process used to create the WiFi standards, and the process used to create the 4G/5G standard, as it's not like WiFi is patent free.
Companies choosing to use MediaTek because they're so much cheaper is exactly what should be happening, so I don't really see the problem there.
How do you think every other country in the world would react to this idea? I don't see how this is in the slightest bit workable.
This is what FRAND works well for. If Qualcomm hold the patents, and you want to use them to develop your standard product, it's fair that they get a reasonable amount in return. If Qualcomm don't think the amount is fair, they can withdraw from the process, and you can solve the problem another way. If you can't solve it another way, you're likely to revisit what exactly is fair. I have no intuition as to what is or isn't fair, as to an extent, it's what the market will bear.
If you've already come to an arrangement, and then part way through you say that it's unfair, then you're in a spot of bother. Until you've renegotiated, you need to carry on paying under the old terms, or stop doing it.
Taxing your country's economic activity always produces less activity.
In the short term. that's possible true, but I think only in the very short term. For the longer term, it has to be more complicated than that, as it depends on what you do with the tax receipts. If I reduce tax and stop providing all the things the state provides to help people to be productive (sick pay, education, health care, transport infrastructure), could I not reasonably expect less activity? The inverse, where I tax activity, yet provide things that the same activity requires (educated, healthy, productive workers) could I not observe an increase in activity?
Part of me wonders how essential air intercept really is. We play this big cat and mouse game of flying planes up to the edge of another nation state's airspace.
What if we just ignored them? What if we tracked and filmed them violating our airspace and simply resorted to diplomacy and coordinated sanctions when international law was broken?
As you say, nothing to do with nvidia, entirely down the packager. Thing that keeps me using nvidia on linux is that their drivers are actually pretty solid. Dated experience with AMD was that features appeared and disappeared and changed between versions. Off screen rendering was hopeless, and we had far more machine lock ups requiring a visit to the machine. Open source AMD driver wasn't an option due to us needing features from the fglrx version.
Instead again, TheRegister correctly reports: 8GB SRAM, which is typically used for caching purposes: small size but fast, just like L1 to L3 caches in most/all CPUs which are also for caching.
Neither slashdot nor pcworld senior editor can correctly transcribe a simple news tidbit from another site.
I think you mean 8MB SRAM, and you can't transcribe either;)
But you can level the same criticism at cruise control, automatic braking systems and lane assist devices. People don't pay attention when they're solely controlling the car.
The figures are interesting, but I'm not sure your logic is sound. People tend to change their outlook as they get older, so waiting a few years might mean the result wouldn't change at all.
Although that was a slightly rigged result, in as much as it was a choice of AV or FPTP. Nobody really wanted AV, include the Liberal Democrats who were the ones pushing for a vote on introducing PR.
You can have democracy without having good democracy.
This isn't something I can imagine doing anywhere near as badly in a manual. You panic, you stomp brake and clutch. Miss the brake and go for the accelerator, and you rev like crap but don't accelerate. You miss the clutch, you stall it. Seems like quite a challenge to miss the clutch and hit the foot rest, whilst simultaneously missing the brake and hitting the accelerator.
Researchers reviewed each crash narrative to determine whether the crash actually resulted from a pedal application error. Of the 2,930 crashes, 2,411 were caused by a driver applying the accelerator when he or she intended to apply the brake. Fifty-eight were the result of the driver’s foot slipping from the brake and pressing the accelerator, 47 were the result of the driver pressing the wrong pedal in a vehicle with manual transmission (either clutch or accelerator rather than the brake, or the brake rather than the clutch). Reviewers determined the remaining 414 crashes not to 11 be the resultt of a pedal misapplication; these 519 incidents were therefore excluded from the present analyses.
Sure that wasn't the kernel that fixed a miscalculated load average? There were some niggles around that for sure, but there's hardly a consistent pattern of Redhat introducing bad kernel updates.
* Due to prematurely decremented calc_load_task, the calculated load average was off by up to the number of CPUs in the machine. As a consequence, job scheduling worked improperly causing a drop in the system performance. This update keeps the delta of the CPU going into NO_HZ idle separately, and folds the pending idle delta into the global active count while correctly aging the averages for the idle-duration when leaving NO_HZ mode. Now, job scheduling works correctly, ensuring balanced CPU load. (BZ#1300349)
The nicest setup allows 801 (and by that I mean *legally* allows), but notifies you that you've got seven days grace, after which you'll only be able to run 800. If you want to maintain access to these extra licenses, click here / phone this number and have a chat with the vendor.
Small diesel passenger cars are really an abbreviation, which is why they aren't common in the US or Australia where we never subsidised diesel fuels for passenger cars. Diesel engines are heavier and more complex than petrols, they require turbochargers regardless (if you want to know what a truly gutless car feels like, drive a naturally aspirated diesel). The returns are less than non-turbo petrol engines of the same size, if you turbo a petrol engine, you could easily knock 25% of the capacity off and still have a faster car with the same fuel efficiency and is kinder to the baby foxes.
I'm not clear that's the case. Find me a good turbo petrol match for a BMW 320d, and on the whole I think you'll be slower or less efficient, even with turbos and direct injection.
BMW 320d 72.4mpg 163bhp/400Nm 7.8s 0-62mph BMW 320i 51.4mpg 184bhp/270Nm 7.3s 0-62mph
The gap's definitely closed between the two since diesel tech has come over to petrol.
I agree it was far more common with firewire, although monitors would be another one that often did include a hub. They went and stuck card readers in them, along with extra USB ports. Some even let you control brightness/contrast and other settings via USB.
Chaining also made sense with firewire, as devices were not all slaved to the host like with USB.
That's tosh. This isn't about executing people, it's about balancing risk, and we do it all the time. When you set safety standards for equipment, you do so accepting a level of risk, not pretending you've made the activity safe and this is no different. In the UK, buses pull off before people have sat down, and indeed traditional London buses allowed you to board and alight at your own risk from the platform at the rear.
You encourage people to make better decisions, but you can't always encourage them to make the perfect decision.

I've had zero problems since putting a WAP within two feet of a 2nd gen Chromecast, but did have some of this before with a weak signal.
You really think it's plausible that the Conservative and Unionist Party could take a position to break up the union?
