Taking the analogy further, Wikileaks was part of the huge ball of burning gas called the sun that helped dry out the tinder enough for it to combust spontaneously.
In the UK they're forced to say "UP TO x Mbps" although the UP TO part is normally in 1/2 the point size of the x Mbps. Most UK ISPs have a 30-day opt-out period where if you're unhappy with the service you can cancel for no fees. I'm with Sky and when I signed up, before it went live, they gave me an accurate-ish estimate of what my speed would be. Max 20Mbps, estimated 11Mbps.
Now, they KNOW how much, on average, I should be getting downstream, and presumably they know how much their other customers are getting. Surely taking an average of that they should know what you're likely to get.
but "AROUND 10 Mbps" to "UP TO 20 Mbps".No company would do that unless they were forced to by the watchdog. Indeed, the UP TO is only there because they were forced.
Annoying yes, but thanks to the stink kicked up by the watchdog, a large part of the UK population know about the limitations and that you'll likely not get the advertised speed.
It's only a matter of time before someone mistakes him for the android and shoots one thinking it's the other starting a chain of events that lead to humans spreading from Earth and colonising the galaxy.
I was once a kid who only knew PHP. I wouldn't dream of telling anyone I knew how to Sysadmin, nor look for a job doing it. I blame your company, partially, and the applicants, slightly, for not knowing their limits.
But the problem is, the World Peace that emerged from the Internet was not the creation of one, or even a team of people. Especially in the Middle East. If anyone should get the Nobel Peace Prize it's the whole of Egypt in what has amounted to a bloodless coup. The Internet facilitated it yes, but that's like saying Newton's pen is the reason we have Calculus
I got a C for higher maths because of those things. Spent most of my time programming it to play games. Admittedly the games were crap, and involved nothing more sophisticated than Candyfloss, or random pokemon style fighting game involving penguins, and that was 7 years ago now. The BASIC interpreter that came built in was terribly slow (more recent versions might have improved), and drawing each static scene took a few seconds. I'm assuming they've gone for assembly language over that if they're getting an FPS to run at a decent frame rate.
The SQA refused to let us take them into our exam though, for fear we'd programme it with the entire syllabus:(
These "Social Games" aren't really Social Games, they're "Social Media games", ie, games you play that exploit the social media platform you're on. Exploit being the operative word.

I've noticed how all these posts are now moderated 0 with no reason.

Look on the bright side. After all the destruction they can rebuild it as Mega Tokyo!
and most of that's covered in marmite.
Rush did that with YYZ didn't they? Although, with the Morse for YYZ, rather than "Hello World"

Anyone else read this as "Researchers Turned to Silk" like some kind of fabricy medusa?
It's okay, it's only Prestwick. It's hardly a 'high volume' airport. You'll only go there if you're flying Ryanair.

It was a joke.

If the Internet wins, will Al Gore be picking the award up on it's behalf?
that's too smart!
You're one of THEM!
Repeatedly saying "Paedophile prophet" makes it look like you've got some kind of agenda.

I like Kodos, but Hawkstriders make me laugh more
And should the owner of the house be paid money for every photograph it happens to be in?
NO BRAID! PHILISTINES!
They missed the most artistic game ever :P
I think they're wanting BST to be GMT+2 (Ie, CEST) and Normal time to be GMT + 1 (Ie, CET)
we would, basically, be moving to Central European Time.
However, this can be vetoed by the Scottish Parliment. I hope it does, or else we'll be having dawn at 9am during winter.
you do know it was an Australian show right...
Hyperdrive was 10x better

Try out WittyRPG, it's got a small community but it's alot more social than mafia wars. It's also very quaint.
yes, but for those who activley disable cookies, this is potentially another way of tracking that few people would have thought about.
Is it? Have you got any stats?
