Even if somebody makes hundreds of edits in good faith, there will still be a good deal of inaccuracy in some of the edits. A rep system built on trusted edits does not mean the quality will be any better. Whatsmore, determined vandals could start trying to access accounts through phishing.
Why does it make your lives hell if people turn up to your town?
They do. Every year. In August, for the Edinburgh Festival. It makes driving impossible, navigation even by foot through some particularly popular streets very hard and shopping in inner city shops so unpleasant that I just don't bother. That's why the protest has been chosen to happen here, because we're percieved as being able to cope.
That would on the whole be down to the provider rather than the phone itself. We've had almost blanket coverage in the UK for many, many years now unless you're wandering off into the highlands. In which case they're still reccomended emergency devices - doesn't that say something about their coverage?
Return an error. Tell them to re-download their files, or more likely just apply it to new ones. It's more likely that private sites will be clued up enough to opt out than joe bloggs home haxor to opt in.
Irrelevant. They could have pre-empted such a problem with a quota, but having not done that it would be impossible to add huge amounts of capacity to their email system within hours. Server orders usually take weeks to be built, burnt in and installed in place.
Telewest have been blocklisted by SPEWS for quite literally YEARS! I remember discussing this with their support team in 2002/3 and them merely saying that they wouldn't pay their "charity" fee because that amounts to blackmail. Quite reasonable, IMO. I imagine it's quite a moneyspinner, extracting cash from corps who technically could afford it.
If the sites selected as parents are hand monitored well enough then google should be able to pick up on them, for example, selling off links for profit. Seeing as there shouldn't be too many, this could be entirely possible if spread across the workforce.
Why does this quote still get used as if it's somehow relevant? By today's specs 1TB of hard disk space should be enough for anybody but that's not to say that in five years it will be.
I'd like to concur with the above having seen a preview here. The scenes were often rather nice in themselves, but as a whole it didn't flow. A prime example is that I just don't remember why they visited the church with sneezing people. Nor why Humma Kavula took one of the heads. It just happened. One of the best laughs the audience got were the knitted characters (superbly unexpected!) - but I was sadly underwhelmed by the amount of comedy that came through language.
Also, when an A road is upgraded to a motorway it keeps its name, just with a (M) afterwards, so we have the A1(M) for large sections of the A1 route.
That's just to distinguish it from the M1 - the A8 has been progressively upgraded to the M8 for a long time now, and the parts that gain motorway status become M8. If the A1 was ever upgraded to motorway throughout (would be good if it was.. but it would be money much better spent elsewhere) I'm sure it would be redesignated with it's own number.
When GAME bought EB UK, they kept all of their Edinburgh shops. There's now three Game-branded stores within a mile of each other, and presumably they all sell well else they'd have closed.
I think that the impassioned debate would be better described as an impassioned attack from those who've previously profited heavily from the distribution of information. In many ways, they're right. The basic integrity of a public wiki is compromised from day one. That's an obvious point to argue, but a very hard one to defend successfully. Imagine a sickly spokesman saying "Well... we've got people who remove vandalism" - but well intended factual errors and typing mistakes (1952 and 1852 are very different!) are a lot harder to account for.
Insightful? Give me a break. The vast majority of rail incidents (Great Heck, Ufton Nervet) are caused by careless drivers who end up parked on the line. Since the Paddington rail crash, full ATP (automatic train protection) was installed on the Great Western route, and TPWS (inferior but still effective) has been installed on the remainder on the network.
If they followed the lead of Epic Games, and gave out their expansions for free, then they wouldn't have to preach about the virtues of using steam to sell their content rather than putting a box on the shelf. It's not ever caused them any problems...

Shoulda plumped up for gamespot instead, their rolling E3 live coverage was fantastic.
Not unless the person coughed up a lot of money and had it registered against all markets.
They'll be able to spot them if their eyes glow red.

Because the crippled XP accounts are next to useless, even some Microsoft Office programs expect to run as administrator!
Wouldn't this be substituting for insulin?
Patches? I must have missed those. I've always had to re-download the entire build.
Geh, my bad. So many acronyms of so many blacklists.

What's the difference between proper turkish delight, which is nice but not great, and the rather tasty fry's turkish delight (package)?
But unless they've bought a new PC in the last 6 months, they won't have visited windowsupdate to install SP2 to get said updates.

Yes, but minesweeper will be removed due to concerns about terrorists brushing up on mine placement strategy.

He's talking about the Paris metro (I think).
