Actually, he's the exact opposite for me - I found it to be totally unfunny, and I unsubscribed pretty quickly. There are many, many funiers podcasts than this one out there.
In that case, charge them with not complying with the RIP act. Even if they're found not guilty, you'll have much longer than 90 days to crack the encryption while the trial is pending. I think that's what the OP is getting at.
Shuffle won't make any difference to the HD usage - the order of the tracks is decided when the user hits play. Either way, the iPod knows well in advance which tracks it's going to play and can cache them accordingly.
Skipping is the real killer for battery life in my experience. People who just play everything and skip through stuff they don't want probably get much worse battery life than people who create sensible playlists.
So it's old news to people who worked on the project - however, I think it's safe to say that doesn't include the vast majority of people reading this.
Oddly enough, there aren't that many call centres in the centre of Manchester. Most call centres tend to be in horrendous out-of-town business parks. Warrington, just outside Manchester is full of them.
No, most BT exchanges are made by third party suppliers. System X was a collaboration between BT and GEC. Other modern exchanges are/were built by Ericsson (the AXE 10) and AT&T. There are also custom exchanges to operate the Featurenet VPN service.
The lack of flexibility in the routing is really a side effect of the way the national network was built up, rather than the equipment installed on it.
Basically, if a call on one exchange is to another exchange on the same DMSU (the next level up in the "hierarchy"), there will be little flexibility about how ot route that call. This is likely to be the case with several exchanges connected around the city centre. However, calls going to another DMSU will have several routes to chose from and can be routed around problems.
The are people affected in the immediate vicinity (mainly businesses), but there are landlines seeing problems much further away.
Also, I read a report that people may be able to phone into an affected line from further afield yet be unable to phone it from somewhere fairly local. Presumably down to BTs fairly rigid internal routing in parts of its network.
I work at a fairly major ISP/telco based in Manchester, we're seeing no direct disruption to MaNap. MaNap isn't actually sited in a single location, it's more of a virtual entity than a physical one. Some individual sites are struggling, but that's fairly obvious.
I live near the site of the fire, I work for a telco and yet the most significant disruption I've seen to my life was the traffic around Manchester City Centre!
I live in Manchester, about five minutes walk from one of the Guardian access points. My mobile is fine, and given that I'm typing this, so is my data.

On the other hand, I would pay to listen to Distorted View or Nobody Likes Onions. Give them a go, you might just like them.
Except that he does have a torrent search engine on his website, which is what they're talking about.
I'm looking for invitations to unspeakable sexual acts?
Sounds to me like the engineers thought problems may have been caused by physical bugs without having actually seen one, at least up until this point.

In fact, in some cars you could see the hooker and your character still sitting in their seats while the car rocked!
The Sun isn't a planet, though. Asteroids, comets and planets all orbit the Sun but none are considered satellites.
No, an object needs to be in orbit around a planet to be a satellite.
Try it. Then your opinion of which is better may actually mean something.
Interesting. I write for KDE in my spare time and for Gnome at work. KDE blows Gnome away on the same hardware in terms of load speed.
However, I doubt you'd find a KDE equivalent of Gimp or GnuCash right now. Sadly, there are still gtk applications with no equivalent KDE version.
I write this as a guy who writes gtk stuff for a living and KDE stuff for fun.

The issue is getting hold of the firmware file, as other posters have said.

They bought the mux/demuxes from Marconi.

Guardian almost certainly carries both trunks and phone lines.

And some of us consider phoning home fairly malicious.
That said, it's pretty well understood by now. GTKPod have a decent implementation.
