Go to bank? That's a 40 mile round trip right there for me. Not a good start!
I can post a cheque to my bank, but i must use special envelopes, and a special credit slip which must be correctly filled out. Then i have to pay for a stamp, and find a postbox (only a mile, yay).
Finally, delay while the cheque gets to the bank, and more delay while it clears.
No, thanks!
I followed these instructions and stopped lots of the telemetry, as far as i know, by blocking all the listed I.P. addresses in my router.

i'm happy to be corrected by someone more knowledgable!
Does anyone know the time in seconds it takes to reach 100km/h, which is how the rest of the world compares vehicle acceleration? I'm interested, and not trying to start a debate about outmoded imperial measurements:-)
Few news reports here are mentioning the fact that France has been dropping bombs on Syria for many months. Given that information, it could be argued that this action by Syrians is them just fighting back in one of the few ways available. Both countries' behaviour is equally reprehensible:-(
The reason for the lack of security is obvious - the risk of hacking is present, but not very high. On the other hand, if the medical equipment does not work as designed, the patient may die because of that failure. Currently it's better to have the equipment work for sure and risk a hack than to put too many complicated steps into setting things up securely.
I use a desktop PC to access the BBC, and my PC does not have flash installed. I can't see any of the videos:-) the webpage insists I install flash. which i won't. silly BBC:-)
William Shatner killed google+ for me, when he signed up to it, google shut down his email account without any checks, leaving him with no recourse, and no email. Who wants to risk that?

Wasn't a suit a bit like this, but infinitely more flexible, invented over 500 years ago? I re-enact medieval battles and the full plate gear that we wear dated 1480 is perfectly firework proof. it's possible to do cartwheels whilst wearing it, too!
Three years ago in the uk i bought my daughter a dell laptop, i5 processor, 6Gb RAM, 500Gb hard drive, £350.
Recently it died, so i looked around for a replacement. listed in the bargain forums here (hotukdeals.com) only a couple of weeks ago was a laptop i5, 6Gb RAM, 1Tb hard drive, £380. So in three years the price has barely changed for a remarkably simiar spec. Moore's law seems dead? I agree with the original poster!
I live in England, and I set up a new British Telecom Broadband internet account for a work colleague recently, 30 dollars a month 8Mb/s unlimited use.
Options for the filter were off, low, medium and high. He said "I have kids, put on the maximum filter option please."
Two hours later, I receive a phone call "internet explorer(!) won't let me access Facebook."
Yup, the filter on the highest setting blocks Twitter and Facebook. He removed the filter then, without even trying the other choices.
Will they now restore the nuked accounts? Was her account restored later? Maybe they've restored it now.
Have you ever tried to contact Google? If you needed to discuss a problem with your account being shut down you would not find it easy.

He got his account back fairly quickly, but he would still have been much better off going nowhere near G+ !
Rapid justice, and punishment, for small crimes help prevent the perp moving onto bigger stuff next time. So a minor mugging that's satisfactorily solved could possibly stop the mugger committing further, more serious, offences
If Microsoft didn't patch I.E., most XP users would download and install a different browser. Almost overnight Internet Explorer as a common standard for web access would dissapear.
It's possible to fly from london to new york in three hours. In fact, you could do for a span of twenty years or so, before concorde was decomissioned. Just because it's possible, doesn't mean it'll become widely available, or even at all available. Ditto driverless cars. The technology will filter down into ordinary cars as extra safety features to augment the driver's slow reactions. For the foreseeable future, anyway.
I had a brief look at the stats - i live in the uk, where pistols are completely illegal to own, and shotgun and rifle possession is rare and heavily regulated. Policemen carry a truncheon!
Murder rates in the uk are 1.2(per 100k population per year)
Murder rates in the US are 4.7(ditto)
Simple?
changing the DNS doesn't help, the IP address is blocked at ISP level. The usual workaround is to google alternative web addresses that point to the same final IP. for instance:-
if "www.thepiratebay.org" is blocked by your UK ISP, you'll probably find that "http://thepiratebay.ee/" will get you to the same place and not be blocked. I hope that helps.
MPG depends immensely on driving style, so official figures are never going to be exactly right for everybody.
I drive on empty roads in 5th gear at 30mph as much as possible, and my car has a total lifetime average of 71 British mpg(or 59mpg in US gallons) since I bought it 25k miles ago.
It's an ordinary 5-seater estate car too, not some whacky-looking smart-car or fiat 500.

can anyone do better than that!?
So I can replace iGoogle with netvibes, we've established that. I'd now like to know how to let google know how displeased I am about their decision to cancel iGoogle. Does anyone have a link I can use to rant at google? I looked around google's help pages for a little while, with no success:-(
all the caches within a few miles radius of wetherby have been temporarily shut down at the request of the police.
the cafe owner involved got more advertising than the lost profits from a morning's business would have made. also geocaching as a hobby/sport got some publicity. anyone smell a rat here?
the package had the word "geocache - contents harmless" clearly written on the outside - i saw the pictures in the uk news reports.
the website www.geocaching.com (top hit on google if you search "geocache") contains details including locations of almost every geocache in the world; it's free to access.
how much more notification do the police need?

i can't find bing news in the app store, do you just use the website? genuine question (because i don't like the new google news layout either!)

Brilliant, just what i was asking for. You, sir, are a mathematical genius!

So right. You have hit the nail exactly on the head!
