you don't use Bluetooth which works on the same 2.4GHz band as wifi, but you'll use wifi which works on the same 2.4GHz band as Bluetooth.
Sounds legit.
(for myself, I tend not to use anything which radiates for a return signal these days, instead preferring to trail a 50m cable around the house for internet access and the phone is either wired landline or wired headset for the cellphone which I don't carry on me anyway, and when it is in use it sits on the desk. I consider Bluetooth to be such a serious security risk I physically disable it when I find it by removing the card (if it's in a laptop), or I flash it to useless (easily done on a phone, older firmwares generally don't have functional Bluetooth drivers). Wifi is easily disabled, generally that's a case of simply shoving a pin through the cable).
the Internet of Everything starts with everything else and ends with permanent and persistent tracking of humans from the second their skin hits air to the second they expire. You have two choices here: accept the inevitability of this march to not only total information awareness but total corporate control over that information and total monetisation of that information entirely at your expense, or simply say "NO, I WILL NOT BE WIRED, TRACKED, NUMBERED, SERIALISED, SOLD, COMMODITISED OR ELECTRONICALLY CONSTRAINED".
I shot a documentary with the father of a little girl who had been abducted by two social workers and four police officers in Suffolk; we had his evidence in the video, we had a prima facie case against the State for child trafficking - we only did the video because the police didn't want to know and neither did the criminal courts, but they sure had something to say when the video went up. Something about bringing harm to MY family. Next thing I know, my primary blog is taken down by Wordpress, my Youtube accounts are shitcanned and I'm getting angry phone calls from colleagues over in Canada saying that they're getting pressure to remove content with me in it.
because word macros are still fundamentally tied to the way the kernel works with metafiles (ie the first thing it does with any binary object is try to execute it), and Windows xp comes wth an email client installed by default (Outlook Express) which for some unknown reason and unlike earlier versions of Windows (any from the 9x stable spring to mind) you can't deselect it from optional component install.
no, Cyprus was made an example of because their Government told the banks to go fuck themselves if they thought they were just going to sign over billions of Euro worth of privately owned assets (read: homes) and forget the fraud ever happened. The ECB instead had private bank accounts seized to cover the bailout, and anyone with less than the equivalent 100k euro in their accounts lost the LOT.
there's no such thing as "child porn". It's "CHILD ABUSE".
Pornography is the graphical depiction of consenting adults engaged in sexual activity. Don't take my word for it, go grab your dictionary and look it up yourself.
UK ISPs already block certain traffic. Not necessarily bittorrent either. I've had more than a few blogs blocked not because of morally questionable content, but because of politically questionable content.
The message here from Europe, is that you can watch a video of a woman getting fucked up the arse but you can't watch a Youtube of someone with a beef against the British Government. It's starting to sound more like the West's vision of North Korea every day, but there it is.
The cause of that one and the cause of pretty much all other financial misery the world over, is overleveraged lending, derivatives trading (which outside a banking institution would get you thrown in jail), quantitative easing (ditto, it's basically fraud), ghost futures, and massive scale penny trade siphoning - all financed by uninsured deposits and crippling mortgage debt. The tipping point came when the ECB bowed to pressure from the banks who basically told them that even though the crisis was entirely their fault, there was no way *they* were going to risk "their own money" (actually it wasn't, the only thing they had to risk was the value of their share dividends) in easing the pressure - and if they were going down, they were going to take the Euro down with them. And four hundred million people. The ECB had no choice in the face of that blatant blackmail but to bail out the banks with a book entry, giving the legal greenlight to the biggest cash theft in European financial history.
Having the base for the economy (the currency) in private hands is THE WORST thing for ANY economy. History has REPEATEDLY reminded us of this fact, and continues to do so. Iceland is so far pretty much the only country that has learned this lesson, which is why they threw their bankers in jail and the Government took back control of their own currency.
the Double Irish AKA inversion is to be abolished by 2020. Eire will no longer be the tax haven it used to be. Businesses will be forced to go through Luxembourg, unless they've also been forced by the EU to legislate through their "haven" status. As for Eire's overall economy, it's still shit. Ghost companies established to dodge taxes in other countries don't employ ANYBODY. They don't PRODUCE ANYTHING. They don't pay taxes which doesn't ADD anything to the local economy. The whole point of them is to leech and avoid paying taxes which are RIGHTFULLY DUE. The fact of the matter is that the UK and Eire are both net importers of just about everything. We used to produce the world's best coal, steel, copper, tin, cotton fabrics, bicycles... now we produce the world's most unemployable, self-entitled youth.
um, no. Most of Greece's population don't pay tax not because they don't want to, but because they're out of fucking work. There is nothing to be had! The EU has broken the country, same as it has Spain and Italy, Eire, and almost happened to Iceland but they saw it coming and threw the thieving bastard bankers in jail!
apart from the fact that apart from UKIP's partisan share, Germany has most seats in the European Parliament (96 to Greece's 21 and the UK's 73) hence has the loudest voice when it comes to regional policy (incidentally, the UK might have 73 seats but every bit of primary legislation it has billed before the EP so far has been vetoed)?
Pathfinder was a handling test article made of wood. IIRC it was built to similar weight and balance to a fuel-empty, unladen OV (75 tons?) but there's no way it'd fly. For starters, it doesn't have any control surfaces or even a fly-by-wire.
FWIW, there's also a mockup (Independence, FKA Explorer) built using plans and blueprints by another company (not Boeing/Rockwell, who built the operational orbiters) being installed at Space Center Houston. It also weighs about the same as one of the operational vehicles.
For gits and shiggles, Six Flags had an IMAX-type experience which involved a full size fibreglass mockup of the OV, theirs called "America", that ran until 2007(?). This wasn't an official or endorsed replica, though.
I like Opera for how gracefully it handles Unity, which Chrome seems to have a bitch of a time over. Chrome, for its memory leakage, handles HTML5 active content nicely and Flash... actually I don't know, since I've disabled Flash. Opera for me doesn't do HTML5 or Flash very well, but again Flash isn't an issue since I've disabled it in Opera as well.
you don't need a shuttle orbiter for that, you'd get away with a missile. Hell, for that matter, load the thing into a car and drive across the border with it, they wouldn't even hear it coming.
The Rise and Fall of the Space Shuttle, Book Review: Final Countdown: NASA and the End of the Space Shuttle Program by Pat Duggins, American Scientist, 2008, Vol. 96, No. 5, p. 32, estimates the average STS mission cost at $1.5Bn in adjusted USD.
and Kerbin: funny, I was thinking exactly the same thing! The ISS suffers from atmospheric drag even at 250 miles up. KSP cutoff is shy of 70km, re-entry drag doesn't kick in until you hit 30km. I'd install a real atmosphere mod but I don't have 32GB RAM or a 5GHz processor.
the US space program had one OV structural test vehicle and one airframe mockup. The test vehicle was refit for service (and became Challenger), the airframe mockup named Enterprise and sent to a museum. Enterprise never actually went into orbit. She was used for atmospheric glide and landing testing. Judging by the amount of money those two vehicles alone cost in construction (never mind development), which had to be a lot since Challenger's replacement, Endeavour, cost $1.7Bn and was built out of spare parts, it's great to see India's economy doing so well that it can afford to throw test articles into the sea and let them sink.
Johnny comes home from school, and says to his mom, "Mommy, I learned the alphabet today! The rest of the class messed up around F, but I made it all the way through!" Johnny's mom says, "Very good, son. That's because you're a violist." Johnny comes home the next day and screams, "Mommy, Mommy, I counted to a hundred today! Everyone else couldn't get past 60, but I made it all the way to 100!" And his mom says, "Excellent. That's because you're a violist." The next day, Johnny comes home and says, "Mommy, the teacher measured everyone's height in class today, and I was taller than everyone. Is that 'cause I'm a violist?" His mom shakes her head and says, "No, honey; that's because you're twenty-six."

I know which I'm picking.

the domestic water supply is saturated with fluorine as well, which is an aggressive demineraliser.
Thus far I've avoided the need for expensive cosmetic implants with calcium chew supplements. Yep, basically I chew chalk.

that's why banks are insured.
Not that that helped Cypriot account holders...

3.5 million votes and just one seat.
SNP took 1.5 million votes and gained every seat in Scotland. 56?
The system in the UK is utterly broken.
yes.
I was a full time earner the day after I left school at 16. I didn't start paying tax on income until I turned 18.

were the athletes (actors) paid in this case? I don't think so.
