Except *they* aren't the people smart enough not to go into unauthorized overdrawal. As long as any new charges are less than their previous hit, they'll see it as a win. Although they'll almost certainly find a way to mess that up and then whine about it some more.
> I can't imagine the demographic for which citing in Fahrenheit is necessary.
That would be us, in the UK.
We are on British Summer Time at the moment so the temperature is expected to be warm (for the UK definition of 'warm'), which requires us to use Fahrenheit. Once the time reverts to GMT (yes, GMT) and it is 'cold', we'll switch to using Centigrade (none of that Celsius stuff).
Nice that the American submitter thought of making life easier for the luddites over here. Gawd bless you, sir.
> Actually, if you want your children to make sound choices regarding religious preferences, studies have shown that it's best to pick one (non-cult) religion and represent that to them during their childhood.
Do you have a citation for that claim? I'd certainly like to see the definition of "sound choices regarding religious preferences".
My UK ISP already provide for 'municipal' wi-fi via an affiliation with FON. By opening up part of my spectrum, I get to piggyback my mobile devices on some other member's wi-fi when I need to.
The only additional item here seems to be not getting ISP permission to do what they are happy to give permission for anyway. Rebellion this isn't.
OK, I'm a UK guy in his mid 40s, so the subject doesn't come up all that often. This is obviously anecdotal, but I don't know of anyone who *doesn't* call it a hoover. Possibly this is a regional/generational thing. Mine isn't even a Hoover, it's a Dyson, but there is no way I would ever consider saying that I'm dysoning the carpet.
My ex and I use this to sort out our child access arrangements. Instead of having to type out "Friday or Saturday for either me to collect or you to deliver" we've got the question down to "F/S C/D" and the answer down to eg "S C". It would nonetheless be cheaper to make the voice call, providing we pretty much kept it to the one minute to ask and answer that question. But that would just be rude!
BT's 'unlimited' package is 3GBP/month cheaper than their original 50GB offering. Saves having to monitor usage, given that they are unwilling to show a usage figure on the account page.
Exactly. People could always read the BBC's own announcment of the deal, which goes into more detail about the what, when, and who of it all http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6411017.stm
There is even part of the deal that those of us in the UK that paid for it will be denied access to, although I don't actually have an issue with that, as I already get to see the full version of what the rest of the world will only get clips of.
The.com typo is initially made in the headline of the CircleID article. The headline here possibly needs a (sic) in there but it is faithfully reporting the referenced article.
I've got to ask, as I can't tell whether you meant a) they'd tell me to shut up, and then they would kick my genitals OR b) they'd tell me "shut up, and kick my genitals"
Except, of course, that's completely wrong. A google search for posamist mp3 #2 and #3 results link directly to the pages with the download links on them.
"the station" flac #1 result is to their archive.org pages
So, if anyone actually wanted those files, google would be able to show them where they were.
I don't think the AC was suggesting that the 'myFunction' and 'int's were ever lined up, but that the 'int's would always line up, regardless of the chosen tab length.

> Oh, yeah, you need to mention how your grandmother can install and configure Ubuntu in 3 mouse clicks.
1 Start voip program
2 Select 'Smartass Grandchild' from contact list
3 Call and say 'please install and configure Ubuntu for me'
In both cases the figure was rounded to 1 significant figure, which is as relevant as is needed for the audience.

I'm hoping that this was a deliberate act, for exactly that reason. Experience, however, leads me to believe otherwise.
I was one of their 2091 respondents (obviously, I can't prove that, but true nonetheless). Can that count for a slashdot connection?

The prize is that we now get to enter 'Winner of Time Magazine Person Of Year, 2006' on our resumes. You just know it is going to happen.
> Slaughterhouse 5, Catch 22
Such a surprising result. Slaughterhouse were clear favourites.
Surely that should have been 'Lego brand building bloxen'
> (residents*density)/area
Surely density is residents/area, so the above simplifies to (residents/area)^2
(or density^2 if you prefer to look at it that way).

but why not go Tracing Paper -> Scanner -> Printer
If the original images are starting off on the computer, just put an extra initial Printer stage in there.
UK DAB sales were over 3 million units by end of March, with sales starting to overtake analogue in certain categories. Hardly no impact.
