I can relate to that one about the U2. If I am watching a technical or sales presentation, it is all that I expect. In Europe, everything does have to be a theatrical show, you know?
LOL...the payment is not regulated by watching it or not, but by having a TV set. And a few years ago, I heard it would be enough to have a computer to pay the taxes, dont have an idea if it ever went ahead as I do not live in the UK anymore.
btw, watch the thread down bellow where I posted sites I found on google that allow you to see BBC, so you know this conversation about VPNs and piracy is bullshit.
I do not do VPN and I have iOS apps that let me watch BBC. I also have it in the offering of hundreds of shitty channels in cable TV at home. Do I want to watch it? Not really. All the national TV channels have been going downhill in the last couple of decades. Even the paid ones suck big time. And it is a matter of time before the new generations that only want to see what they want and fast, the youtube/piratebay generations dont watch it at all. What is the fuss about, again? Last time I notice BBC is broadcasted to satellites though the word OPEN, and many apps and sites get it from satellite and allow to watch it for free. So what is the point about complaining VPN users do not pay?
fuck it, i hope uk does not get the land of the stupid and of the walking whales like the us. this insanity has to stop. let's us all use VPNs or tor as collective disobedience. At the end of the day, this is just political propaganda, because the establishment wants to sniff and correlate more easily the (meta)data of ISP customers. Now if someone gave two black eyes to people who insults willingly the public at large, some idiots would think twice before spewing garbage.
No need to hire black hats. On this present economy and the mentality of the get the cheaper you can, they are probably paying students or some "Windows" experts to take care of their systems. This smells more of incompetence than of an inside job.
Talking about moving around...when I did Dubai->Manila via Emirates, they kept our food trays for hours, so much that I refused coffee, and the crew snapped at the passengers who take care of their own trays to pee. Besides that and the shitty food, Emirates for me no more.
Yep, I have noticed it too...last time I wanted to open for a while my laptop, it had to be in my legs, and just for a short while. You certainly wont be able to open a laptop even in your legs it the passenger on front reclines. And I remember full well when I had flights a decade ago where I used my laptop for hours.

No idea what you are smoking at all. They want H1-Bs because they are cheaper, work more hours and do not bother them with unions. The problem is not having resources, is not wanting to pay them 1st world salaries.
Have you notice this world is ever so increasingly small with the ever commoditisation of fast transports, and that we have multicultural immigrations pretty much anywhere, which often live the same or only slight differently than in their original cultures/origin? And last time I noticed, once they start bleeding and vomiting, for instance in a packed plane, bus, mall, supermarket, or hospital waiting room, it will be mayhem no matter how much they follow personal higiene.
Lets face it. Wifi data plans are a big scam. Operators do not want you to use data plans because they want to screw you with the calls, and do not want 1) people giving up voice and using only voip 2) killing all the revenue on international calls 3) often they are in bed with your local cable operator, or worse, they are an arm of it.
For all those that have no alternative than using mobile Internet for PC connectivity, it is quite simple to install Flash+facebook+adblocking software to save on you bill.
Nevertheless, it is worth to point out that a 1GB plan wont get you nowhere, and it is really not enough on this days. Back in here, I only use wifi, but then I have wifi at home and at work, and also we have a huge FON infra-structure here, where we can pretty much find a FON hotspot nearby.
No, your problems are not "people who think a shell is something you hold to your ear"; your bigger problems are people who *think* they know something, specially when in positions of power, or the miraculous consultants management brings him, that where captured by the consulting firm as rookies (because you know, rookies dont have vices and are better to "reprogram") that think they are the best thing since sliced bread, but only know how to use expensive suits, spew pretty reports and shrink wrap what bobs that hates you tells them during the "discover/gathering facts" phase.
Or are they more concerned about updating thousands or billions of pirated Microsoft workstations? They could at least use it as an opportunity to promote their version of Linux.

They did not also mention price...only the 2 year contract price, which is not rather appealing.

Do you? Check Film On, the free version on the app store for instance (it is not the only one). Or check this site http://www.estadiofutebol.com/ with strong filters has it has lot of adverts. Or http://www.wherever.tv/tv-chan... Or here. http://cricfree.sx/bbc-one-liv... Who are they kidding? You dont need a VPN to see it.
And then they are broadcasted through the world for free, which quite makes a moot point of this entire discussion.

I want to know the names, you know, to avoid them.

I dont know which part you havent heard about Monsanto buying shares...inside information about being subsided by government, maybe?
Immigrants, not "immigrations", damn automatic dictionaries.

And then, the only sane thing to do that is suspend commercial flights and quarantine people who are coming from that part of the world, is not done.
If you ever had seen idiocracy you would have understood my post. Panis et circenses for the stupid masses.
We also do not accept changes to the systems Fridays and a few days before senior admins go in vacations.
Pardon, mobile data scams are a big scam...

Idiocracy was right on. The fucking bucket challenge is no better than ow my balls. Mod me down at will.

Trust what? I disabled all the routing and wifi functions of my cable modem, only use the bridging mode and placed there my own.
