It's not just the money, it's the fact there were that many people willing to give up information so easily that makes it so scary. It just shows why security is so bloody hard to maintain. You cannot ever have a truly secure system whilst relying on people who don't know the power/value of their OWN personal information, let alone someone else's.
It's already been said above, but my main use of an MP3 player is when I'm walking/jogging about, so size/weight/shape are fairly important, especially if I'm also carrying about my mobile, wallet and perhaps PDA as well.
Looks wise I was being slightly flippant, but to be honest I like nice looking things, and given same specifications, I will tend to choose the one I prefer the look of.
Because of the fact that it will spend most of the time in your pocket, for me the biggest need for an MP3 player has to be weight and size, and measuring 3.9 in X 2.6 in X 0.9 in at 7.6 ounces, it just doen't cut the mustard for me.
Oh and it's hellishly ugly as well, no kudos for flashing that thing around.
I am still of the opinion that the UK used to have it right, i.e give the academic tutition to those that can, whilst giving the practical courses to those that want. I have still to be convinced that the UK's need to get every member of it's population through university as beneficial(Media Studies etc. as a study course just seems redundant to me). For me it just seems that the education these people receive to be less than the three years they could have gained through work experience.
No should be: how the free market internet has enabled capitalism to trump corporate price fixing.
Very true, what I would be interested in is how much import duty the bloke had to pay. It is one thing that I sometimes forget when importing to the UK.
Is it being broadcast live? From what I heard China stopped live coverage of their space program after a few unfortunate incidents involving ground casaulties (though I don't think the linked article is the one which created the blockage of live reporting/broadasts).
When I moved to Connecticut from England when I was about ten, I was constantly threatened with suspension for refusing to recite the pledge. Even at that age, it felt like brainwashing. Indeed during a great deal of the Social Studies courses I attended, there was what seemed a constant stream of "America the great" propaganda, with little(if any) contrary examples to the goodness of the country.
Looking back, I don't have too many problems with that style of education, as each country I lived in had a fair amount of this form of patriotism. I just probably wasn't used to it after what was a broadly cynincal education in the UK(i.e being taught that conquering over half the globe, and colouring it pink, was NOT a good thing).
However at the time, and not too suprisingly, I encountered a fair amount of problems with class mates for my stance, with the usual(and expected) calls of "If you don't like it, then get the hell out of our country". Still it was nothing compared to the bashing I got when they found out I was a pomme with an American accent when I moved to Australia.
Not a DOS game, but I've still got a copy of Temple of Apshai, and I've still got my old Apple IIe to run it on. For some reason, I've never really got around to firing it up recently. Probably so as not to destroy any fond memories I have of it.
The underdogs site, from what I can tell, only (knowingly) distributes games that are not still being sold by the publisher. It deals purely in abandonware which admittedly isn't strictly legal(well, read not legal). There are a fair few arguments for and against the free distribution of such software, some of which may be read here, and here,.
Which considering the murder rates in both countries, surely the case could be made that GTA and its ilk be compulsory due to it's undoubted pacifying effects?
Was humankind ready for the discoveries of Darwin, were we prepared for the industrial revolution, do we have the ability to cope with the capabilities inherent in splitting the atom? At the time, probably not, but with each discovery we learnt, and matured, such is the way of the human.
Knowledge enables us a race to grow and mature, space exploration would be a huge learning curve, and I am reasonably(sort of) optimistic we can cope with the responsibility.
Well, considering it is exploration for mankind, perhaps some conglomeration between nations, rather than a single entity might be better. I somehow feel, without the bravado of the space race and the cold war, this might be a more productive way of acheiving our lust for discovery.
The security system works with both optical and mechanical mice.
Before I read the article this was the first thing that leapt to my head.
Though I do still wonder whether it can pick up and ignore some of the idiosyncracies an anolog mouse may intoduce(i.e pieces of fluff on the rollers affecting the natural flow of the mouse etc.).
And what proportion of those included the occasional(OK, seven and a half hours during the week) game of solitaire, tetris, and spider?
I wonder if the stipulation of FPS, RPG or RTS playing were made, would the figure be quite so high, it would be nice to see the types of games each demography were playing.
Indeed how was the poll conducted, whether it was taken at game shops, or merely random questioning?

I thought this as well, until I realised that regular spam services are still profitable enterprises for their clients. If these companies can stand to be associated with spam, I'm fairly sure that can stand to be associated with a virus.
Thing is though, is this actually an answer with any real point, proving an answer via a simple brute force method is far less interesting(and I would say far less useful) than a mathematical proof.
For me it is sort of like saying if I hurt my hand with a hammer it damn well hurts rather than investing the underlying reason.
Unless it is part of the EU's ruling, and they are removing the e-mail client completely from new versions of Windows. It would be intereseting to see how many people who have a copy of Windows, also have a copy of Office, and actually use Outlook as their default mail manager.
And is anyone yet to be convinced with Thunderbird yet?

Firebird/Mozilla definately, my favorite browsers, but Thunderbird is still far too flaky for use in my opinion.
The only other free software I use is the eclipse editor, which I find fantastic to use, both in terms of reliability and usablilty.
a mysterious looking gold fish
It's kind of hard to make a goldfish look mysterious.
You could try giving attaching moustache and glasses, but rather than mystery, the look tends to veer more towards ridiculous.

Or even classic free pc games. And for modern free classics, give Soldat a try, it's pretty damn good.
You would assume that it would work in a similar way in London, as I cannot see how the scheme would otherwise work for tourists/ visitors to London.

Yeah, my Beatles White Album CD seems to be in perfect nick as well, and that has music from ages back.

Police are at a loss to explain why the software wasn't effective, since it seemed to work fine in controlled testing, Guidara said.
Exactly how controlled was the testing?

Looking at the screenshot, it appears there is a Times New Roman version of chinese characters, seems to be slightly different to what I'm used to.

Mmmm, has there ever been a use of CCTV to acknowledge good behaviour?
