If Slashdot was run by anybody in Europe, at least there'd be the capability to display characters other than just those under code 128 of the ASCII set.
Nordic people are less likely to have lactose intolerance, so the test can consist simply of giving the employee a glass of full fat milk and monitoring bathroom breaks. No intrusive measures or expensive lab facilities required.
It didn't help that people kept tombstoning off it despite fences and signs saying please don't because it's fragile and you're wearing it away by doing so.
If they have multiple lines that terminate at the same building, an office PBX has been able to be set to one of them for outgoing calls for decades. VoIP can have the same. But cheap businesses don't like that, or even to show a fixed line number. They'd rather advertise some NGN that costs them $5/y that means they get paid cents on the minute for every incoming call.
Real time traffic info is used by the black cabbies as well. The difference being they know that if there's a jam on, say, Kensington High Road, simply trying to use the adjoining streets to get around it (which is what a navigation app would suggest) would be a bad idea. They'd also know which roads to avoid based on time of day, so they don't get caught up by deliveries, bus routes, pedestrian numbers (office workers, tourists, school children) and a host of other factors.
The Knowledge isn't just knowing every street in London. It's knowing the city and its inhabitants in order to calculate a route. In your head. Instantly. With the ability to recalculate at every junction. No app comes close.
The classes for The Knowledge (you have to have this to be a black cabbie) are in English, so you've got no chance of passing if you don't understand the language.
IE for Mac knew what an ActiveXObject was. It then proceeded to crash spectacularly if you tried to instantiate one. The awesome was strong in the wastes of space that comprised the team that created that abortion.
Funnily enough (no, not really), I can't delete my Yahoo! account or even set it dormant because my ISP (BT) had / has an agreement with Yahoo! to provide email for domestic users going back to the end of the 90s. Even though my primary contact registered with BT hasn't been this address for well over a decade, because it was the original I signed up with it can't be deactivated because reasons.
The "don't log in for 90 days" trick doesn't work with this account. I hadn't accessed it in five years. Fortunately I'd set all mail to be marked as spam (if it wasn't already) before I left it alone all those years and the size of that folder was astonishing.
At which point you get a cease and desist coupled with a DMCA takedown, because proving you have any rights to it over the likes of Facebook would bankrupt you.
That suggests such a small pool of people that it is a viable probability. I've worked in several different companies, all in the same field, for over 20 years and nobody at any one of them knew anybody from anywhere else. The idea that networking is of paramount importance isn't viable.
All my cubes of bullion are stored at the Federal Reserve. There was an incident a few years back involving dump trucks and some guy in a stained vest, but it's all good now.
There are two types of electrification in UK: third rail (the tube has double third rail) and overhead. There's even a line where the stock uses both so has shoes and pantographs (Thameslink). Electrification been around for over a century.
There's already a contactless card, similar to Oyster, called the Key. Unfortunately, you can't keep both in the same place or you get charged on both in certain regions...
It's not so much the new rolling stock (when it gets delivered, a happy little clusterfuck in itself), with vastly inferior seats (but look, charging points for your stuff! Never mind that there's no tables any more and it can't connect to anything because the signal is so dire; why is the Clapham Triangle still a thing?), nor even the piss-poor uptake in new drivers so the existing have to work far more overtime to provide the alleged standard service.
What annoys customers is that the operators coin it in by claiming from RailTrack after only a 5 minute delay caused by signal or track issues but customers can only claim after half an hour delay (though there was a concession recently down to "just" 15 minutes). Then there's the whole issue with Southern Rail getting paid by DfT (who get the ticket revenue) as a flagship test case for a pure management franchise to be rolled out to the rest of the country so they don't even have to try to run a service as they get paid anyway. And don't get me started on DOO(P) for rural areas...
English is as much a Nordic and Romance language as it is a Germanic one. Meaning it is a mélange of all of them. Point to a word from Old through Middle English still in common use and I'll point to another from Latin and yet another from Sanskrit.

Demonoid isn't the same as before. I certainly don't trust Kickass any more.
Then maybe he had mercury poisoning...

And it wants to be known as "The Excession"...
a) TPP isn't ratified yet
b) The Netherlands isn't in the Pacific, nor part of TPP
c) TPP isn't ratified yet. I realise I've said that already, but it needed repeating
d) Europe has so far told US (who have withdrawn from TPP) to fuck off with the version that applies to them (TTIP)
There already is a charge on HDDs. It just got forgotten about.
The people who brought your Downistie also were responsible for the Smurfs animated series. Their only redemption is they also did Alfred J. Kwak.
Mr APK, welcome back. We missed you.

Only those of the Church of the Poisoned Mind would want that.

Nope. Not for a long time.
