The reason may lie in the church. I'm sure in rural communities in America, the church is firmly in the centre of community life, wielding powerful influence amongst the people, and evangelical christian fundamentalism is a primarily conservative ideology.
Estonia's governmental projects are actually efficient, unlike in certain Western Europe nations where money for projects like this are squandered on bureaucracy and contractors going tits-up before completion.
I think you'll find that is not always the case. Take a look at some cost/power graphs. There's a reason why broadcasters opt for tubes for outputting high power RF transmissions.
Mainframes used dumb terminals (that is, effectively a seperate machine connected to the mainframe via serial).
This is a standard computer handling several video outputs, keyboards and mice by itself. Just the same as any one person system, but handling multiple persons instead.
I willing to reckon these companies make very few checks, and they still pocket the money and still cough up a cert even if they fail. They're for-profit companies. It's not in their interest to turn applicants away, as it hits their bottom line.
As for Verisign, remember when they'd just hand over any domain with one simple fax?
No, you're not retarded, it's crap and really needs a bug filing about it. Delete plugins/libnullplugin.so in the browser dir. All other plugins will be unaffected (you'll need to install manually from now on).
We've resorted to sending one another an IM every time we send an email to confirm that the messages are arriving alright.
E-mail has never pretended to be reliable. Once your mail is sent to an alien mail-server, anything can happen, so you're daft if you're using it for anything mission critical. Of course, you do get what you pay for. I've used free email services that have taken hours, even days to propagate an email.
When booking my flight, I did manage to get as far as the booking process, but the site is so badly formatted in Firefox it's tedious in the extreme, with random screw-ups here and there.
In the end I just booked with a third party company (Lastminute.com, as it happens).
I think the problem is not with the script writers and producers, but the funders, the film company. You see, script writers tend to have a great sense of humour. However, when a film company sees this, they see this. This means that film companies only feel particularly jolly when it's pushing hundreds of thousands through the turnstiles. They don't care how many people laugh, just how many people cough up.
I think you might find, if you read the small print, they do have the right to freeze your account, and they don't need a good reason, although any clause that empowers them to effectively "confiscate" your money would almost certainly be ruled invalid in court.
On subject of deletion, I was thinking a similar thing myself.
The term in question is,
"Residual copies of email may remain on our systems, even after you have deleted them from your mailbox or after the termination of your account."
On most filesystems, deleted files are not deleted completely, they remain physically on disk and, provided the now-free space has not been subsequently overwritten, could potentially be retrieved with appropriate tools. This is what Google means by "residual copies", and I wouldn't be at all surprised if that is the case with Yahoo!, Hotmail or any other free email provider, Google is just being honest about it! Good on you Google!
Ah, yes! If only we had something like ARexx here on UNIX. The "ARexx ports" concept really helped with things like information exchange, automation and "remote control". For those who don't know what it is, here's an explaination on ARexx, and briefly explains ports.
eBuyer has a good selection of dot-matrix printers (more so in the US than the UK). They're comparatively pricey (evidently economies of scale don't favour dot-matrix printers anymore) but they're reliable and cheap to run.
The internet is a very fickle place. You can guarantee that as soon as Google was to start treating its userbase second to its advertisers, people will begin to walk.
If you want to make the "we were here first" argument, you lose also. It's plain you haven't done your bible reading! You forgot about the people who were there before the Israelites... the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Hivites, the Jebusites... - And no doubt, there was other people living there prior to them as well.
BBC thinks palestinians who blow themselves (and innocent babies) are "freedom fighters".
Erm, no. They call people who blow themselves up, "suicide bombers". They call the militants, "militants". In Iraq, they call the insurgents, "insurgents". Compare to the completely unbiased and independent American media, who refer to all of those under the collective term, "terrorists".
It puts every fact - when issued by the Blair govt - in quotes, to make it look suspicious;
Has it occured to you, that they might be using quotes because they are quoting someone?
and if you look at their coverage of the Kelly-case, it is very disturbing to see how they selectively brought the facts, cautiously steering the public opinion.
The coverage of the Dr. Kelly affair was incredibly poor. That's a large part of the Hutton Inquiry, right?
However, I get the impression, sir, that you are simply part of the angry right complaining that the BBC is not biased to the right enough.
Though I can't say I understand how it can possibly represent a perfect sine wave without some form of anti-aliasing. What about other waves? What about more complex waveforms?
192khz refers the the sample rate, how many times per second the sound is sampled, not how many cycles per second. While theoretically, 192khz sample rate does allow frequencies higher than the ear can hear to be recorded, its real purpose is to make the lower frequencies more accurate - for example, a 22050hz sine tone (if you can hear that high!) sampled at 44100hz is only sampled twice per cycle, and would effectively be recorded as a square wave (although, admittedly at that frequency you'd need to be a dog to tell the difference!)
Saudi Arabia fits in perfectly among "Islam fundamentalists", the attack on Irak seems more and more like a way for the US to move military bases and get independent oil reserves not controlled by the saudi's. If the war hadn't been such a failure the US could really consider Saudi Arabia as one of the many many nations to make their next enemy by advocating some freedom and democracy.
Do you realise that Saudi Arabia is one of the US's closest allies in the region? Yup, the United States is one of the strongest supporters of these "Islam fundamentalists". Presumably "freedom and democracy" doesn't mean a lot there.
Invade Saudi Arabia? Hahaha! Yeah, right. Do you realise that Saudi Arabia is a strong candidate for being the most powerful nation in the Middle East? They're no push-over, I can tell you. Not to mention their hold on the oil.
Regardless of whether there is or there isn't, the problem is, you generally agree to the "stealing" of your computer time in some obscure clause in the user agreement that you accept when you install a spyware-infested program. Always read the agreement throughly!
No. BT has said that all of the areas that cannot get wired are unprofitable. They're not making it up. It's the truth, and they will not become magically profitable when a cheaper technology comes along.
If you had bothered to read the article, BT is first in line testing the new technology.
That is assuming the Sat radio is of much higher quality than the RF radio
That depends on the bitrate and other parameters of the sat radio. For example, right now I'm listening to a satellite radio station broadcasting at 64kbit/sec mono (since I play through my TV, which only has a mono speaker, it's not so bad). Generally a good, strong FM station is as good or better than satellite radio.
It is also generally harder to rip the MPEG stream from the satellite (special hardware is required) than it is to plug the line output of your radio into the line-in on your computer's sound card.
I was thinking more of a website being able to track things such as search requests. Here is one website dedicated to strange, funny or just downright disturbing searches people have found in their referer logs.

New satellites are launched all the time. Is it because it's an internet-only communications satellite? Eutelsat already launched one: e-BIRD at 33 deg. E.
