So for now you get it once a week and it could drop to every two weeks... yet I've just got back from a few weeks in Cyprus where the rubbish is collected daily - and somehow they manage it without paying 7-14 times as much council tax. Naturally... they don't pay anywhere near as much as we do for that service.
That's fine, but it's not how it'd work in the UK. They'll come up with a trash tax which will probably add more than 100 GBP to our council tax which often exceeds 1000 GBP a year as it is. Meanwhile they only collect the rubbish every two weeks and refuse (no pun int...) to take it if you've overfilled the bin or not sorted the recycling how they want it. Of course, they don't actually recycle 90% of the stuff you'd expect... no newspapers, magazines, cardboard food packaging, plastic, etc...
Rip off Britain's a bleeding con and it's no wonder 0.5 million of us are emigrating each year.
That's the point. He wasn't running. He didn't jump the ticket barriers. He wasn't wearing a thick coat. They freaking lied about nearly everything at the time. How have you missed this stuff on the news?
They blocked bittorrent on my account without even telling me they were doing it. I was a customer of theirs for four years. I now have a different ISP.
Seconded. My commute is 80 miles (130km?) each way. It takes a similar length of time by car to yours - but I have to push 95mph down the motorways early in the morning to do that. It costs me over £300 a month on petrol alone for that - over 1/4 of my income.
If I wanted to do it on train? That would be a six hour commute each day that would cost me an absolute fucking fortune if I could catch trains at the times I'd need them - I can't. Plus I'd have a 9 mile commute to and from the train stations to add to that. Public transport is not an option.
...a proxy which just compressed stuff on the server and then decompresses it on the client?
Oh... yes.
Google Web Accelerator uses various strategies to make your web pages load faster, including:
* Sending your page requests through Google machines dedicated to handling Google Web Accelerator traffic.
* Storing copies of frequently looked at pages to make them quickly accessible.
* Downloading only the updates if a web page has changed slightly since you last viewed it.
* Prefetching certain pages onto your computer in advance.
* Managing your Internet connection to reduce delays.
* Compressing data before sending it to your computer.
Unfortunately, it's really irritating when I nmap someone else to check they've got certain ports stealthed and then find I have to wait for their safety message to disappear.
You can read the books in full if they're pre-1923 in the US or pre-1900 elsewhere as I understand it. Other books you can only view a limited amount of.
But I'm not too impressed. The author's grammar isn't up to scratch for the article, leaving me unsure about what he means to the point that I just can't follow it.
Shame. I could do with a decent intro to KDev. Or an alternative C++ IDE, I'm yet to find one on Linux that I like.

We have a rising population because in spite of record emigration levels, we have record immigration levels which are significantly higher.

On Linux.
I'd be happy to test it for you... except it doesn't run on my system.
Some bright spark forgot to package chungles.gif in the linux package.

Ah... I was wondering why I had to download and compile OOo twice in two days.
Awesome, I had the patch before this hit slashdot the first time round.

I don't even run a Windows box.

...seem to be doing great stuff for the Gnome community and Linux in general more and more.
I know they have a vested interest but this is great stuff.
That's if you're distributing it for educational use, not individual, which these guys are talking about. You can copy all you want for yourself.

Perhaps the /. editor though it was Len Adleman...
A brief look inside test.py suggested you needed to open ports for it.
At that point I removed it.

...their intro to Unix/Linux was 125 pages and relatively comprehensive.
:)
Looking forward to reading their other guides, pretty nice of them to publish them online
...are liars I tell you!
They robbed us of a real screenshot!
emerging techniques for producing higher quality software
Nah, I reckon the gimp or photoshop...
...ohhh
KPF, AVG and AdAware are going to suck a lot more system resources than the handful of IPTables rules I've got setup.
No, that doesn't make either person superior to the other, I'd say it does make the OS superior though.
...how to tweak it to run natively on Linux?
