    Maybe you would prefer a 40 inch tablet! How big are your pockets?

    Nissan Armadas. In yellow.

    I did not want to know that!

    Where is the Android App that you can run while using the phone in a stand for navigation?

    My SGS3 has a suitable forward facing camera, enough memory, is always in the right place at the right time, and 1 pic per second for 3 minutes is enough.

    A relative of mine hit a bus, and was not sure what happened - witnesses were not sure and disagreed - the bus cam showed enough detail to be quite sure the bus driver stayed in lane, and she didn't.

    IMHO, all the soca music on 1.8 MHz is crap, and the 30MHz stuff is undanceable. Where is Calypso Rose when you need her?

    The majority of faults in all technology disappear when exposed to an engineer. Engineers exude technology friendly vibes. (And dont try to dance to Carribean music while putting the key in the slot, unless they are Jamaican, in which case no problem, man!)

    Nope: American cars can't stand reggae, much the same way Martians can't stand country music.

  8. Re:reality check on Want a Job At Google? Better Know Microsoft Office! · · Score: 1
    In reality, the few bits of MS Office that Open/Libre Office doesnt to are very obscure, Virtually all experienced users of any of the office products would have to use help for far more widely used features.

    If you cant use the help feature, then you are definitely not computer litterate. If you can, then you should be able to switch between office suites several times a day without (much) pain. (But you might not want to).

    Actually, most corporate finance types have to get someone else to help them use ANY formula in any spreadsheet - they are too lazy (aka "busy") to READ the help for themselves.

    I piece, so long as it fits in the test fixture provided and weights less than the 6kg or 10 kg limit (Airline specific). Some airlines allow a handbag or laptop, or camera in addition, but people have told me of being asked to put their laptop in their luggage this Christmas. (Europe)

    No.

    There is no "Free Speach thingy" in Europe.

    Publishing a list of scum that includes you is libellous UNLESS YOU ARE SCUM. (Bear in mind that the IRA sued Channel 4 news for calling them terrorists).

  16. Re:Hope you have friends inside on Ask Slashdot: How To Collect Payments From a Multinational Company? · · Score: 1

    Access is insufficient. When I ran a company that worked for a large multinationals, I was regularly told by the accoutns clerk "the accounts clerk is not in today" and by one fo the authorised signaturies that "there is no one available to sign your cheque". Threats of physical violence dont work either.

  17. Re:Lawyer up on Ask Slashdot: How To Collect Payments From a Multinational Company? · · Score: 1

    Don't know about in the US, but here in the UK if they fail to pay within a "reasonable" period you can apply to the court for a winding up order (ie petition for bankruptsy) - that normally gets their attention even for small amounts. 90 days of non-payment will work.

    75% of American police that are shot, are shot with their own gun, or by another cop!

    Here in the UK cops dont normally carry guns. However, when they do, they seem to shoot a lot of innocent people.

    Teachers hear gunshots, grab their 9 mms, head into the hall. Blast away at the janitors who are shooting back with their AK47s. Both groups start to take casualties from the administrators firing .50 cam Brownings mounted to A/V carts. The lunch ladies lob grenades out from the cafeteria, taking out large swaths of combatants, including the third grader who set off the original firecracker.

    Yay! All hail the true American way! (But where is the car chase?)

    Yes, but in Switzerland, there is no crime because "Im der Schweitz, das crime is verboden". Forbidding things in America does not work so well!
