That isn't a recent innovation. It was standard on decent model Volvos over 40 years ago in UK. At the time you didn't even have to wear one by law (though it was advised).
Or do they just mean "blab about it to the mothership in real time which then forwards it to the nearest traffic cop / your insurance provider"?
See, it's this parochial bullshit that really doesn't track. They have you convinced that only those who are on there have a chance at getting a job, everybody knows everybody else and it's a closed community where the population is small and you just have to be part of it or you'll miss out. Then they get you to bang on about the benefits of the networking and dangle a carrot of "if you do this, others you know can recommend you / you can ask them for employment" as if that is remotely feasible in an international or even same city scenario.
It's bollocks. I've had several jobs in central London over the last 20 years and only once have I encountered or heard about anybody I'd previously worked with and he was someone who'd blagged his way into a job at one place, was sacked for being useless and was trying again at another. A pity I was leading the interviewing team...
I have a 10p note. It was only legal tender in NAAFI bars and canteens and I got it as change when I was at Biggin Hill one foggy night before pilot aptitude testing.
Yup. London has "tried" it for more than 50 years on the Underground, so if it didn't work, we'd have known by now. Oddly enough, the directive to "stand on the right" (with signs every 15 feet reiterating that) is still around.
Try standing on the left on an escalator at Oxford Circus (busiest) or Victoria (second busiest), I dare anyone who thinks it is better. I double dare them. Then try it at rush hour. They'll be told off by staff (not just sworn at by commuters) for causing congestion and slowing everybody down.
Given that half of the planets (determined by how many we're calling planets this week) have rings the odds of someone giving a right answer are 2-1. It might be a complete guess, but so what?

That has nothing to do with location and everything to do with the user. Just because I might be in Frankfurt doesn't mean I want to see content in German.
Depends on the definition of "secret". If the location is classified as "secret" by US, there's no onus on a foreign entity abiding by that classification, if they are even aware of it.
Google (US, and probably others) has to but Yandex (RU) doesn't unless there is some agreement in place. Even then, what's the blowback if they don't?
I work 9-5:30 because that's what my contract stipulates. I don't get overtime, so I'm not working outside those hours. I certainly wouldn't get nebulous and meaningless "kudos" points for staying late,. If anything, there'd be eyebrows raised.
Whether I have a CS degree or not is irrelevant (and always was). What is important is whether I can do the job I am employed for.
A big problem is the need to bundle everything, which causes bloat. However, suggestions that a particular version of Chromium or Node could be specified in a manifest and only downloaded upon startup of the application if it wasn't already available on the system was shot down as a "that's DLL hell all over again", primarily by those who aren't old enough to know what that was really about.
Because it was really bad back in the day when you had to download specific versions of libraries to run applications and everybody hated how they could just download the program and run it if those libraries were already installed. Far better to assume there's unlimited CPU and memory to run multiple containerised systems./s
If you've not set it back to how it originally was before they mucked around with it, you'd have some tabs: Primary, Promotions and Social (I think. First day I saw that I reverted it). Google decided that it would take on the job of sorting email into categories so you wouldn't have to bother. I guess for the most part users didn't care much as their Gmail address was their only point of contact, and it worked pretty well, but I'd already got rules and filters to categorise long before they decided to do this.
If there weren't such crappy consumer protection laws then Comcast wouldn't be able to alter the deal leaving you praying they won't alter it further, but knowing they will because they can.

Illegal this side of the pond as well. We probably had it as illegal first due to better customer protection legislation.
Anybody that told you that your warranty was void for flashing a ROM, or even unlocking the bootloader was lying through their teeth.
Seems like this guy was a fan of Father Ted...
Bonus points if he said "feck" at any point.

Yeah, the fuck it did.
Never mind, I 'm sure they were delicious.
ACGP has a point. The official Twitter app for Android had always been crap, which is why there's lots of alternatives.
TIL that 1st Century Egyptians, 13th Century Chinese, Secondo Campini and Frank Whittle were Nazis...

It's also been about that long since you could get a pint with just one pound note.

That's what happens when your security certificates controlling the infrastructure expire.

We don't even have APK any more thanks to insensitive clods
