dude, you need to read more Michael Moore or Lou Dubose if you think that the purpose of the government is to protect and serve the citizens... The government is there to make the big bidness bosses even richer....
Here in the UK that's illegal (I think) also as we have to physically leave the car to walk to the little shop to pay the government and the gas company (mostly the government - 80% I think!) - so it would be rather dumb to leave car with engine running. Also would be impossible for me as my filler cap is unlocked with the same key as the ignition and all other doors so I would have to carry two keys for the car.
A friend of mine left his keys in the car when he went to pay for his fuel. He saw it being driving away by a teenager. Insurance company just laughed at him. It was a new car, 3 months old and not a cheap one. He basically waved goodbye to a year's salary because of his stupidity.
Both the East coast main line that GNER use and the west coast mainline that Virgin use are electrified - overhead power lines though, not the rails themselves.
GNER don't operate in Bristol, or Manchester... Bristol is on the West Coast line which is Virgin Trains territory.
GNER operate the East coast mainline (Aberdeen, Edinburough, Newcastle, Durham, York, Leeds, Doncaster, Peterborough, Stevenage, London Kings Cross) - I've probably missed a couple but thats the main stopping places.
Most UK banks DO offer totally free banking for personal accounts as long as you stay in credit - some even pay you a little bit of interest on your checking account (e.g HSBC/First Direct)
I remember many many years ago (> 20) reading a sci-fi story about a noise cancellation device that work in exactly the way current real devices do. The plot of the story was based around "where does the energy go?" The author concluded that it would be stored in the powersource of the noise cancellation device. As I recall correctly, the fictional inventors of the device discovered this at the conclusion of the story when the device exploded - the battery ended up storing all the energy until, as Scotty would have said "She canna take any more cap'n" and the whole thing blew up spectacularly.
If anyone can remember the name of the story or even the Author, I'd be very grateful...
try switching off the indexing service... I had a machine that would just grind to a halt with disk access light on solid... Switched off indexing and now it's as sweet as a nut (well, as sweet as an XP box can be...)
I dunno.... 256MB pen that actually writes too... 256MB is a decent size for a portable device and it wont be that long before they get up to GB sizes. There are GB size USB memory "pen" drives but they are somewhat chunkier than your average pen...
.... And at the point where you assemble into one image, the graphics software stops.... easily defeatable probably, but then what about when you come to print and the printer will refuse to print the image....
Thank you SO Much for this post!!! I've been looking for exactly this for the last couple of months for a project I'm working on at home. Most of the RTE controls I've found are IE specific and I have one that kinda does the job but is not cross browser.
If I had modpoints I'd give them all to this post:))
England (capital E please) my be "small" but the population density is very high - but we do have plently of low-desity remote areas. Cable is being laid but only to the densly populated areas. Take up of cable has been very slow in the UK resulting in collapse and meger activity of the handful of cable companies. They are reluctant to lay more cable until the takeup improves. Also it can be hard to lay cable, York is a good example.. It is an ancient city, with a settlement dating back thousands of years. You have to get special permission before digging up anywhere to lay cable - in fact I beleive that you must have an archaelogist on site for ANY excavation withing the York city walls, and your work can be stopped and postponed pending firther archaeological excavation - in some cases, for years. The coppergate development being a prime example - so in circumstaces like that, they are even more reluctant to lay cable.
So yes, there is still a need for solutions like this in the UK.
Never mind that, I work in York and have a friend who lives within walking distance of the University... No cable or DSL on his street! It's bizzare that a reasonably large city like York has such poor broadband access. I'm not sure of the reasons for this - York has quite a huigh student population, who probably can't afford broadband, also a lot of the pavement/roads are ancient (vikings/romans etc) and you have to have archaelogosts involved any time there's any sort of excavation so the cable company is reluctant to lay the cable. I'm not sure why DSL is so hard to come by in York though - but this was a year ago, it may be better

You're a journalist and you cannot corrrectly contract "there is"?
It should be "There's"

Nope, that was the announcement that they were trialling it...
This is the anouncement that it is live across the whole GNER route.
(For anyone interested, GNER operate mainly on the East Coast Main Line from Aberdeen down to London)

ummm how DO you kill a feather then?
No, the real question is, how hard is it to look up at the parent message and spell the word "pigeon" correctly... HINT: There's no D in there...
And more interestingly, what happens if I am a non-US resident with a gmail.com account? Which country's laws would govern access to my mail store?

Pointless.
lowercase tags is the new fasion, and indeed the only standard. "legal" form if you wish to be compliant with the xhtml schema.
I personally have always used lowercase tags. It just looks nicer in my pretty syntax highlighting editor... I don't want my html shouting at me!
huh? did u read your own post?
