I am using the US International keyboard, which is renamed to "ABC Extended" in the latest version of OS X. Why would the keyboard mapping matter? Doesn't it create the same character code? If plugging in and using a standard UK keyboard doesn't work when entering a GBP £ symbol (which I've tried) then I don't suppose switching keyboard mapping will work - they'll all generate the same character code won't they?
I had to go to their web site to remind myself who they are. I think I've seen their logo before. It's been a long long time, and I can barely remember them. I guess things I search for with Google never turn up anything interesting or important for me either. Ok, I don't care if they do this: they're not important.
Curious whether drivers give more space to cyclists as they overtake when there is no centre line. Perhaps removing the artificial sense of boundary to their space they might drive better.
So if you're having trouble seeing where the road is going, then how the hell are you going to spot obstacles like pot holes, pedestrians, animals, blow down trees, etc? Sounds like you need to slow.
The only two benefits of WhatsApp are that it's free for overseas communications and that it is cross platform, although even then its desktop support is shit. The rest of the time I just find it irritating. In fact WeChat works better, but then the only people I know who use that live in Shanghai.
Funny I landed in Moscow a couple of weeks ago and watched the lady in front of me obsessively go through at least half a dozen apps as soon as we landed. Fragmentation of communication methods is annoying, and really what's the difference between all these app devs who seem to be insistent on re-inventing the wheel? It's not benefiting us as users.
Another irritating thing with WhatsApp is that I can't even hit send on a message when I'm offline (e.g. underground on the Tube or overseas with data roaming off).
Well if you could hit send on *any* messaging app or SMS, without service the result is the same.
No it's not. If I hit send on an email when I'm offline, I don't have to think about it again because the phone will send it as soon as it's back online. With WhatsApp I have to remember to go back to the app and hit send when I realise I'm back online, which could be sometime later. It's easy to forget to do this.
SMS does have delivery notification support, but it seems to be enabled erratically by providers. Read receipts are annoying, and does anybody actively update their status? Another irritating thing with WhatsApp is that I can't even hit send on a message when I'm offline (e.g. underground on the Tube or overseas with data roaming off).
My biggest problem with the default messaging app on my phone (iMessage) is that 1) it's Apple only, and 2) I apparently can't control when it falls back to SMS if the recipient is offline.
I've always used X1. Unbelievably fast searching hundreds of thousands of emails. The new UI in recent years is utter shit but the copy I have from about 2009 still works great.
Not my experience with Uber in London. Several times now I've pissed around outside Hammersmith Broadway and Turnham Green trying to get one home late in the evening before giving up and catching a bus or the Tube. Another time on the way to Heathrow in the middle of a weekday afternoon the Tube had some trouble and I was already running late... 35 quid from Boston Manor (~10 miles)? No thanks, and unbelievably Addison Lee is much cheaper than that and arrived in the same time frame! Maybe you've got more money than the average person, but I don't relish Uber's surge pricing if a ton of taxi companies go out of business.
You really must go out and also live in the middle of nowhere if there are no night buses that can't get you closer than seven miles!;)
Australia had a similar misplaced frontier attitude until they finally wised up and restricted guns - see how their rate of mass shootings has subsequently plummeted. But, you don't have to go that far afield: try north of the border to find a country that's more American than anywhere else but still has almost universa (even in Alberta)l incredulity at the American attitude towards guns. It seems you're the one jumping to conclusions and having a problem with understanding.
Of course there should be some relevance, but I feel it should be a little more dynamic. I'm glad we didn't get a written constitution cast in stone 800 years ago because the world then was very different to now.
Why not just agree the 2nd amendment is out-of-date and wrong, and just get rid of it?
There's little left of the Magna Carta recognised in English and Welsh law due to most of it being repealed or superseded. Do you really want to continue for another 600 years arguing that the US Constitution and it's amendments are even relevant? To most of us in the rest of the world, the arguments put forward by American gun advocates don't sound much different to religious fundamentalists using the bible or Koran to justify their outrageous positions, i.e. there's no logical sense.
He was happy to leave the decals on there when he thought he might get some free local advertising. Ultimately though he sold the vehicle with them on there, but didn't retain any control over the vehicle post sale. It's his own fault.
What about universal fire fighting service? Which is probably more relevant, since the BBC article references two fires in two weeks in London due to these devices.
Yeah no kidding... from this we might easily be able to visualise or interpolate the point/time where SSD and HDD pricing does actually approach parity.
That wouldn't help me. I've had a Yahoo email address for nearly 20 years (ok, I think I signed up 1997 when they first started). First name and last name, and no numbers tacked on the end because somebody beat me to it. Everybody knows how to get hold of me. And before you ask, no, spam isn't bothering me. Furthermore, they've been reliable, which is pretty good considering both Hotmail/Microsoft and Gmail have had outages and data loss.
I've also been happy to pay them $19.99 since 2002 for a Plus account. Email's one of those critical things and I think this is a bargain price considering how much I value it and compared with how much I'm prepared to spend communicating over beer instead. Nice to be grandfathered at this price on their Yahoo Ad Free Mail service too, which is otherwise $49.99.
I have run and hosted my own domain at some points, but I just don't want to have to do this.
Yes exactly. Prices have been approaching for a few years, and will continue to approach for a few years. I don't get why this is a story right now. This is interesting when the difference really is close to parity. Right now a 2TB HDD is cheap, and a 2TB SSD is not.
Poorly written story too, just quoting numbers left, right, and centre.
It makes a nice change hearing something like this from the US, especially after that whole thing with Marissa Mayer. She did new parents no favours whatsoever. Americans generally have a shit deal when it comes to things like this, and it's a little funny saying that this is a global company policy for this reason.

I don't get: I am using a keyboard.
But let me try with these keyboard maps:
* ABC Extended: Option+3 = £
* UK keyboard: Shift+3 = £
* Unicode Hex Input: Option+0,0,A,3 = £
If this doesn't work then please tell me what the magic is...

In fairness they have an Extended Support Release that lasts a year. This is better than Chrome if that's what you want.
It can't even display English properly: see what happens to the GBP symbol: £
Really? Won't Apple's tax bill in Ireland more than cover this when the EU get dos with them?
They can afford to build a billion quid campus in King's Cross. 130MM doesn't sound like they're paying enough taxes to me.

There are already spammers on WhatsApp - I've had a couple of such messages in the past few months. Expect it to get worse.

Three fires in London over ten days in October:
