I think this should be EXACTLY what you're looking for: http://www.kimsufi.co.uk/
I've personally had a server with them for about 2 years with no major issues. For the money, it's phenomenal value.
You know what? If you feel like that, you're more faithful to your religion than the majority of all religious people in the world, regardless of religion.
Over here in the UK (and according to plenty of Europeans I know), it's certainly not "cool" either. It's just society in general really considers it to matter once you reach a certain age.
Firefox on linux has always had shitty performance for me on slashdot. I recently moved to Chrome and everything was totally fine, it still is with this new layout. I'm fairly sure Firefox Linux just has terrible JS performance.
I have to say, It really depends on your intent. I live in the UK and get a pretty good 3G signal everywhere I go. I'm on a 500MB plan data wise, but I don't really find it to be an issue. In practice, I agree with that "download at home" message, but I don't agree with Verizon's motives or intentions for suggesting that.
I think it truly is that the majority of English speakers are quite ignorant of the rest of the world. I live in the UK and would love to learn another language, it's just that none of them would really open up anything useful to me.
Talking as someone who has been running half a dozen or so Minecraft servers for a few months, I've only seen more and more features added. If you think about it from a logical point of view, its quite easy to see why its causing so many problems. Aside from breaking server-side plugins every update (which is hardly unique to minecraft), there haven't been any major issues.
The whole point of anonymous is that there is nobody in charge. People post a lot of ideas on the *chan sites and certain IRC channels. The better or more entertaining ideas generate interest and end up actually happening. For every DDoS ever carried out by anonymous, there was a thousand other suggestions that got shot down.
In general, I think this is pretty true of web apps and business applications, but when its things that will generally push a system to its limits performance wise (in particular, games, 3D rendering, Compositing, etc), people do tend to notice. For example pretty much anyone who regularly plays Team Fortress 2 can quite easily tell that its an incredibly badly optimised game (written an already badly optimised engine), simply due to the fact that if they load up Call of Duty 4/5/6/7 with the same graphics settings, they will get literally twice the frame rate, or even Left 4 Dead which is the same engine.
Also my point with compositing, the built in lens blur effects in Adobe After Effects take exponentially longer to render than a number of better third party plugins.
This isn't directly at the parent post, but more in general at the people who are disagreeing with my post.
I'm not saying that a 4 year old couldn't use Blender, my point is, how is that in any way helpful to their development? Children at that age need physical things that they can play with and understand like silly putty, paint, crayons, lego, etc. If you do want to get a little more technical then sure, some Mechano wouldn't be a bad idea, but how on earth do you expect them how to understand fairly complex abstract concepts in a virtual world that most grown adults struggle with when they haven't even had a chance to see how the real world thing they are re-creating works?
Well ye if they were 10 years old or so, sure. But at the moment, the kid will only just barely understand how to use a mouse and keyboard and navigate the machine at all. So why not just get him real silly putty instead?
I'm currently attending college in the UK, and planning to go to University next year to do CompSci. The course I am currently sitting involves such difficult assessments as: Installing Windows XP, Installing Windows 2000, writing a basic C++ application that barely breaks 300 lines of code, and formatting an Excel Spreadsheet.
This qualification (along with Higher Maths) is enough to get into a fairly large number of British universities, a significant percentage of which are not degree mills.
"In most cases, these credits are in the $2 to $6 range; some will receive larger credits or refunds."
So no, there will be a lot of people owed more than $6 dollars and receiving credits. Regardless, in the vast majority of cases, its still $2 they should never have been charged.
If you RTFA, it actually says the overages were caused by "built in applications" such as web features on the phone put there by verizon, and then charged $1.99 for 1MB of data used despite it being merely a few kilobytes downloaded.
Also, the majority of customers will be receiving Credits instead of an actual refund. So essentially they will never get this money back.

Statistically speaking, I don't think 1 event is a trend.

That link is not safe for life.
Well it is only 3rd party hardware vendors involved, I doubt google will be getting involved any time soon.

With price of basic laptops and even the most expensive netbooks these days, you're doing it wrong if you need a keyboard for your phone.
Rubbish. The vast majority of "professional gamers" (i.e. CS 1.6, CSS, Starcraft 1 & 2, etc) are in the 20-25 age range.
My point was that a non-English speaker has far more to gain from learning English than I do from learning for example, Spanish, French, Swedish, etc.

The main is sitting in custody with a crime he probably didn't commit as an excuse, I'd say that any paranoia he has is pretty darn well justified.

Blender? for a 4 year old? are you actually serious?
The thread below this pretty much sums up my feelings here.
AFAIK, a quick browse on wikipedia shows that they discover the control room on E07.

Where did we go so wrong?
oooops
I think you missed the "Post Anonymously" box there mate
In a word, no.
You read it wrong:
"In most cases, these credits are in the $2 to $6 range; some will receive larger credits or refunds."
So no, there will be a lot of people owed more than $6 dollars and receiving credits. Regardless, in the vast majority of cases, its still $2 they should never have been charged.
