When they get this going on an iPhone or whatever, you'll just wander into Chapters, flip through a book and read it at your leisure later. They'll never sell any more books until they ban "flipping".
Be careful about switching off the ignition while you're still moving. It could cause loss of steering and/or braking ability. That's b-r-a-k-i-n-g, not b-r-e-a-k-i-n-g.
Just a thought, but the PS3 will give you 1080p, play games, music, videos, photos etc., includes a Blu-ray player and you can buy lots of gizmos for it all for well under the price of a new PC. It looks a lot cleaner too, since all it requires is one power and one HDMI cable.
It was soooo funny watching supposedly intelligent people (Chertoff), when told the attack was coming from "a server in Mongolia (or wherever)" their first thought was "Can we take it out?"
These people are so last Century. Someone needs to in there with a clue stick.
He's not just talking about this particular instance - this is a what-if scenario. Which Govt. in their right minds would install an OS which can effectively be shut down by an outsider (or potentially even a hacker).
At the very least they should pay extra for flood insurance - just like I pay extra for earthquake insurance - and ask themselves "why" if they are refused.
Not really. My manual considers the flood plain as part of the river. Just like the beach up to the high tide mark (and beyond) is part of the sea. If my house ever floods, then a couple of nearby cities will be under 100 feet of water and I'll need scuba gear to do my shopping there.
This must be universal because the same thing happens annually in Canada. How difficult can it be to protect yourself from flooding? Page one of my brief manual reads "Don't buy a house that was built _in_ a fricken river, or _on_ the beach in the first place."
...that the same country that told him to go take a hike when he complained about Americans printing copies of his book without paying him royalties is now battling so hard to prevent on-line piracy. What goes around, comes around I guess.
The liquid/gel limit is completely stupid. Are they saying 100ml (or whatever the amount is) is OK, but 200ml isn't? Well if 2 people being 100ml then they have 200ml if they add it together. If 10 people each have 100ml then they have a litre of the stuff. What's the point in the limit?

Sheesh - eventually one of these things will whip your appendix out faster than you can fill out a consent form.

What's all this then?
People called Romanes, they go, the house?

Just remember to not use your one remaining good eye.
or does anyone else think that the whole idea of trading emission allowances is a huge scam to begin with?
Where's Mornington Crescent?
I think a good ssid name would be "honeypot".
I'm dreaming of the OS or Database, whatever, where in order to delete a user you have to run and fetch the BFG9000 or similar. That would be heaven.
It just powers off. Hack that China!
Hey this paper stuff sounds pretty good. I might have to go get me some and try it out.
Does it run Linux? And can I play Duke Nukem Forever on it?
doesn't need a password.
Where I am they have Videos and DVDs too.

Actually, it's not just in winter. I've seen a one-foot wide trickle go to a twenty-foot wide raging torrent after a summer thunderstorm.

are we sure that they run linux?

I was thinking more along the lines of this...
