My watch glows in the dark and is charged by me wearing it. Not bad for £20 in the '90s. Did your phone cost that little, does it do those things and are you expecting it to still be working 25 years later?
Probably also tied in with *chunter* *chunter* "last mile ownership" *chunter* "legally mandated provision of emergency service contact ability" *chunter* "no facility of buy-back when you die / move house" *chunter* "no licencing of privately owned lines"...
They refused because even if you are a qualified and registered telecommunications installer, you're replacing their cable and they still have to have their PCIs to verify that you did it right. They'll do it for large installations, such as for a building where it connects to their network, for a hefty fee, but it's too much hassle for them to give permission to screw around in a box they own and have an engineer come out and check your work. Remember how long it took for third (major) parties to be able to install DSLAM as part of unbundling. They aren't about to allow AmiMoJo's Phone Services Ltd anywhere near their stuff.
There was that one time about 2000 years ago. Fortunately there was a stable available so others didn't have to deal with a mewling, puking newborn in the foyer while they were trying to sleep on the chairs.
As the first ever page with HTML on the first ever site appeared in 1991 and the first iteration of a JavaScript (then LiveScript) engine in a browser was a few years later, I'm questioning the "three decades" claim. I was there at the beginning.
We don't tend to play the kind of sports that require personal crumple zones, but we sent over a rugby team who won a game of American Football to show you bunch of prissy nancies how real men play contact sports.
You're talking about "craft" beer, so called to differentiate it from so-called "beer" (the BudMillerCoors variety). I have no problem with that. It's the vague not-quite-lager that claims to be beer I'm not keen on, something I think we both agree about.
I've been invited to meta-moderate three times in all the years I've been here. That rarity of occurrence means I'm not likely to correct something that is ultimately inconsequential but concentrate on where it is really needed.
It got modded to Troll because of irony. That notwithstanding, you're still at positive points on that post as well as the preceding one. Plus there is such a thing as meta-moderation here. A low six digit uid holder should know how this site has always operated.
Enter for form submit, in the way you mean, is only an "accepted practice" because Microsoft made it the behaviour in Internet Explorer even when the button didn't have focus and other browser makers followed suit. Before that, people tabbed to the button and *then* pressed Enter or used a mouse to click it. So all the form details being lost by an incorrectly caught key press is not the web developers fault but Microsoft's and whatever fucking lazy "focus group" they used.
And my rebuttal was when there wasn't apathy it didn't change anything. People couldn't just camp out in the Mall for days or weeks in protest because they'd lose their jobs and their homes. The government knew that so could cheerfully ignore them.
Protests outside Parliament were banned years ago. Not that any would make the slightest difference; a million people turned up to protest the invasion of Iraq. When that proportion of a country's population travels to the centre of a city to protest and nothing comes of it, what's the point?

More likely some bone-breaking data...
Yours tells the time? I have to look at mine.

Which would you prefer admitting to downloading, Elf or Milfs Like It Big?
Let's call it a draw

They usually contained milk.

Heaven's Gate was a fun site to read as well.

We drink ale over here, and not at room temperature. We don't call the superchilled tasteless low alcohol content diluted horse piss you drink beer.
And the vaccine contains mercury...
Oh wait, both those statements are bollocks.
Joke's on them then: I have a BT Home Hub 5. Can't change DNS settings on those babies.

For all *intents and purposes*, it shows a distinct and probably deliberate inability to English rightly.
They are not allowed to hack my computer even IF THEY HAVE A WARRANT, because no warrant can be granted for a computer on foreign soil.
Of course, they'll just get GCHQ to do it for them, but still.
