NTFS is actually a very good FS. The performance isn't so bad for desktop usage at least, and I've hard far fewer problems with it over the years than with say ext2/ext3 from a corruption point of view. It's easier and more reliable to read on my Mac (or on Linux boxes) than ext2/ext3 is (I had to uninstall the OS X drivers due to issue they caused, and the Windows support is a joke). The only downside is that nobody seems to be able to create a driver with reliable write support.
Good for you you! You sound like an ostrich: I don't have a problem, so I'm going to bury my head in the sand and pretend there isn't one.
If you Google for that message I get, you will see many people complain about it. It's very typical of Mozilla development to ignore issues like this. Exchange vs. TB - which is bigger? Which is one of the most common server applications in a corporate environment?
I only tried out TB recently on my Mac. I felt like I'd stepped back 5 or 10 years (I had used Netscape/Seamonkey/TB until about 2 years ago when I decided to try webmail only for a while for personal email). With this issue (and TB2, at least, being less featureful on OSX than Win32), it's a failed experiment, and I'll probably just switch to Mail.app, unless it's been fixed. It's felt like a second-rate product.
Does this version get rid of or offer a way to disable the message that says: "The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: The requested message could not be converted to RFC-822 compatible formate.." Thunderbird 2.0 seems like a bad choice for accessing Exchange (via IMAP) - is 3.0 any better?
That's a trust by default rule. You're relying on Facebook to get the security right, or just to be sure that you keep up with any changes they make to their security model. If I don't know somebody, then they don't get to be on my friend list. And if an app needs access to my personal information, then I block it too. This Mafia thing looks like fun, but the expense is too high.
I could see the humour behind your comment, which unfortunately the moderators who marked it insightful couldn't. The internet is more akin to walking down the street - I certainly wouldn't be seen dead talking to children I don't know in the street. The internet differs in that others can't see with whom you're talking, or if you're even using it if you're in the privacy of your own home. For some reason, the apparent anonymity of the internet seems to remove some people's inhibitions to doing things they wouldn't do out on the street,
I don't fully understand how BT works, but it seems that most people accept all peers, so does that mean they can use a modified BT client to connect to your system and get information irrespective of encryption?
That's because he's an idiot who behaves like a monkey. It wasn't racist, which is very different. If you think that Michelle Obama is an idiot, fine, but find another way to express that can't be misinterpreted along racial grounds.
Cyber bully is often an extension of real life. A child might be frightened to go to school after that something that happens online when they're back at thome. In fact cyber bullying can be worse because it does mean that there is no escape. Giving another option to children to discuss this issue can only be a good thing. There are already a number of groups already out there suited to helping in this situation that already operate for example by phone, without it being a 000/911/999 emergency call thing.
Looks like a nice place, and well reviewed (check out Tripadvisor, if you haven't already), which is probably a good endorsement. Probably quite safe, although I'm always paranoid about leaving things in my room if there isn't a locked down safe. Laptops are often too large for safes anyway. Earls Court is a convenient location. You might be able to get a little cheaper, but I'm sure quality will quickly drop. One of my work colleagues from Germany was looking at a hotel in the Paddington area, which he saw for 50 quid/night - sorry he's gone for the day so I can't ask him. Check-out wotif.com if you want to look around more.
As somebody who as lived in Toronto, Shanghai, Melbourne and London in the last 18 months, I believe you're wrong about London. It's one of the better cities in the world to live. In fact, I would drive right past Glasgow to get to Edinburgh, which has some of the finest architecture and presence in the whole of the UK. Scotland is truly beautiful, but to claim the ski-slopes as a selling point is pushing it a bit. Having hiked in the wilderness in Canada, and the Rockies in the US, and Andes in Peru, and the mountains of New Zealand's South Island (very Scottish around Queenstown btw), I'm happy with any number of country walks close to London - if I'm going to make the effort to get to Scotland (yes, as I said, very gorgeous), I'd just as soon hop on a plane to Nova Scotia or Newfoundland....
Be careful: I brought some when I moved here from Canada. I burnt one out in the first few days. It had a ceramic capacitor in there that couldn't handle the higher voltage. After a small of burning for a short time, it ended up in pieces. It was possibly a fire hazard. Also, I wouldn't trust power bars with lights/LEDs to survive either. The best power-bar purchase I made was at Best Buy in Shanghai: it has sockets that can plugs from anywhere in the world, and of course runs at 230V or 110V.
Yeah, there are two bus services to Oxford who both run 24 hours per day, often 3x per hour. I think they have free wireless too. I prefer Cambridge though as tourist. Ugh: all the hordes of visiting school children and other tourists around Carfax is enough to put anybody off Oxford. At least it's close to Blenheim Palace and the quaint village of Woodstock.
Is Bletchley Park easy to get to from London using public transport?
Clarification: the "T" in "TFL" means "Transport", not "Tube". And the advice for visitors is to get an Oyster card immediately: it saves huge amounts of money, and works everywhere - just announced are the Thames Clippers, and next year, an extension out further to cover all of the commuter rail services.
Depends where he's coming from. When I lived in Toronto, I would frequently come back for Christmas in the UK. It was often 20-30 degrees C warmer, snow-free, and just generally quite liberating and pleasant. When it's not stormy, it's actually really nice, and London seems to exist in its own weather bubble (I'd get on the train in Aylesbury in shitty weather, only find it sunny the other side of the Chilterns, and on returning in the evening, find it much colder).
I got distracted by somebody and hit submit before I finished. Anyway, don't worry about pissing around with wireless regions. My work laptop cannot configured for anything other than the US, which means no ability to connect to anything configured for channels 12 and 13. I've yet to have a problem (except when I configured the wireless router at the office for channel 13).
And how did I forget to mention the performing arts? You can spend hours just looking through listings of musicals. There are more theatres just in the West End than there are in some countries.
Where are you staying? If it's a secure place, then bring your laptop for when you're "at home" for planning your day, photos, etc. There are tons of coffee shops and even pubs with wireless, sometimes free. Personally though, I leave it at home and just carry a camera, A-Z and a Lonely Planet guide (along with a small but wind resistant umbrella, etc), but I can see the benefit to being able to check google maps and the TFL. BTW, tfl.gov.uk will be your best friend at figuring out how to get between any places, especially considering that large parts of the Tube close at the weekends for engineering works. Having a laptop with me around always ways on my mind due to the risk of it being stolen - yes, one of my work colleagues had his bag (containing work laptop) stolen from under a table six of us were sitting around, in a pub in Soho.
Other than that, get out an enjoy yourself. London is a walking city, even in December when the daylight is limited and it can be blustery and wet. One of my favourite walks is from parliament, down the South Bank to the Tower: London Eye, South Bank, Tate Modern, Southwark Cathedral, The Globe, St. Paul's Cathedral, Borough Market, City Hall, Tower Bridge, etc. Greenwich is ace. You can get a Soho walking tour from Trafalgar square. The Royal Parks are awesome. There are tons of little villages that have been over-run by London growing outwards. Then there are more free museums and galleries than you can shake a stick at, and always a trusty pub nearby when you want a break.
Yeah, I don't know why he'd restrict ways his content can be found. Maybe Microsoft are cutting him a deal that makes sense to him. I can't recall seeing results for any of his content anyway, which is fine by me. More disturbing to me is the possibility of back-room deals with British Tory party against the BBC, who are helping keep standards up and crap like Fox News out.
Jeeze, some people don't get out much. Flamebait? Try observation of the real world. There are words Americans use that have fallen by the wayside elsewhere, such as "fall" instead of "autumn".
Don't forget Picasa, now also available for the Mac (to save us from iPhoto's insistence of managing the files). I haven't used PSP since the early 90s.
Most of the time for holiday shots and what not, something like Picasa is good enough, and the work-flow is much easier and faster (important to people like me who take 100+ photos a day). I drop back to Photoshop for piecing together panoramas and HDRs, and when it's better quality output is required on the few occasions, but by then, I'm down to an album of 60 or less (I don't want to completely bore other people).
I tried GIMP a few years ago, and won't go back to it. And for those promoting GTK - yuck! They couldn't even get the basics right, like the common file open/close dialog (and why they didn't delegate to the native versions on OSes like Windows is beyond me). Maybe it's improved since then, but I have no desire to change my current work-flow. It's courses for horses though: a lot of people around here like and support it, and good for them.
Because most Americans don't actually know what it means, nor does it get used regularly. No problems with its use the other side of the Atlantic. I figured it is just one of those words that fell by the wayside, and along with "fortnight", guaranteed to garner a blank look when used Stateside.

Why wouldn't it?
Do they have this concept of "common carrier" in the UK?

It's been going since 1963, and I'm still entertained. You don't have to be a nerd, it's not overly sentimental, and I can enjoy with my gal.
Not very cost effective for a home user, considering the cost of a Win 2008 or MSDN license. I could buy a reasonable NAS for that price.
