Why Do they feel it's necessary to sneak in legislation? Surely you're bypassing due debate and democracy? Eventually you're going to get a government almost wholly controlled by these huge corporations with big pockets who just want to protect their own interests.
I've used my gsm phone in russia, and last time I checked their population density was a lot lower than that of the us, and yet I never lost coverage once.
Every advantage apart from the clearer calls, the faster data rates, the text messaging, the network roaming, longer battery life, more advanced phones, open international standardization and WAP (well it's not really an advantage, it's more a feature.. like.. a.. well. it's just there.)
Why not just convert everything to GSM? it works fine for the rest of the world. You never get static (digital transmission), and the call drop rate is a lot lower than analogue
Well, the thing is that they probably weren't paying list price (or anywhere near it) for the printers, as they were probably buying in serious bulk for them, and having a "partnership" would get them more discounts.. all this amounts to i guess is "no more discounts for dell"
And how'd you connect to these pacemakers? 802.11b? I don't know about you but i'd really not want to be carrying a wireless network station in my chest, the other option, an ethernet port in your arm? There is no need for that technology, a pacemaker is meant to keep you alive, not serve your webpages.
Probably still the most damaging as far as I have experienced... the majority of problems with viruses i see are users passing on pretty obvious viruses.. maybe the answer is in the education rather than the protection
Probably The worst thing about uk internet access is the three tiers it operates on...
For businesses who need the reliability of a leased line it's extremely pricey.. £50k for a 4mbit link.. almost double that for a 10mbit link. Compared to US prices it's extortionate.
For The lucky home users, we can get half meg links for £20-30 a month. But sometimes they're unreliable and the quality of service is poor.
The unlucky home users are stuck with 56k, and ISDN, which are expensive comparatively, and they are also awkward and at times unreliable..
The uk government needs to look at these issues before they kill our tech economy.
IMHO, Academic institutions shouldn't get themselves involved in cases like these. If they lose then the students will end up paying the price with higher fees/less equipment.
I hope they've got a strong case

That .5% is still quite a lot of money.. admittedly it is relatively small, but i'll wager it's paying for a few people's wages.

I dunno.. i think billions of dollars worth of public money would be well spent to prevent an osmond family re-union.
Yep. isn't it a bit late to still be posting april fools jokes?

Someone needs to get rid of this man before he does something stupid like actually creating this thing.
excrement, bovine at that, in the air.
Ugly ugly ugly. Looks like someone stuck a flatpanel in some turd, sprayed it white and called it an imac.
