That's not true... Jobs explicitly said that you can do a full return for 30 days after purchasing an iphone with no restocking fees, and get your at&t plan fees refunded as well.
What do the upgraders do when they have traded in their old (usually older iphone) do until they can get a new phone (apart from get a Nokia)
For my VoIP system, Skype, I do not have any dropped calls, of course its not cellular either.
That would depend on your connection to Skype. Also in the UK mobile network "three" offers free Skype to Skype calls which are transmitted over the mobile network as voice, not as data.
The last mile is the most expensive bit for the delivery companies.
In the UK other delivery companies (DHL, TNT and others) are able to do bulk business mailouts, sorting and delivering the mail to the local Royal Mail delivery centre. They pay a fixed fee for the final stage of delivery.
Amazon (UK) offers free delivery within the UK on all orders (except non Amazon-fulfilled Marketplace items).
One thing I have noticed of late is that when ordering fulfilled by Amazon items they all seem to be sent by courier (although the courier they use is one of the worst [cheapest]) even when the item is very low in value such as a second hand book for GBP 2.
Many businesses would object to the stopping of Wednesday deliveries (I suppose that not delivering to domestic premises on a Wednesday would be an option, but this would cause issues for mixed delivery rounds)
The terrestrial mobile phone networks are reducing their roaming costs (In the EU they are being forced to) so this is likely to reduce the cost benefit of satellite phones for global businesspeople.
The US department of defence also owns a ground reception station for their exclusive use (the network can also make calls between phones without going via a ground station)
I flew easyjet (one of Ryanair's main competitors) for GBP 10 per flight on a trip from Edinburgh to London, when they had a special offer on. I only booked the light the week before traveling.
The UK government tax is GBP 10 per flight, on top of that easyjet would have to pay the per passenger fee imposed by the airports as well as meet their costs for running the flight.
I think the idea of these offers was to raise their passenger numbers to make investors happy. Unfortunately on the return flight, there was only 30 passengers, out of over 150 on the A319.
The reason that domestic passengers need to be kept identifiable is that they will be mixing with passengers connecting from incoming flights. Unlike the US (and smaller British airports) these passengers do not need to go through immigration (provided they are connecting to a flight that with a destination outwith the Common Travel Area and do not leave the terminal building).
The other option would be to have a small lounge dedicated to domestic passengers. This would probably be a fairly dull and dismal area to wait in, when compared to the full departure area of the main terminal. The airport operator wants as many people to be able to visit the shops as possible.
Gatwick airport seems to manage to operate a similar arrangement using only a photograph, so the use of fingerprints seems to be a bit overkill.
When travelling within the UK a passport is not required (although photo ID often is) so most passengers will not have their passports to hand.
I think you are getting confused with TWA Flight 800 which went down in 1996. It is thought that some electrical fault created a spark in the centre fuel tank of the aircraft (which was warm and almost empty) causing an explosion. It is likely that due to the age of the aircraft that the wiring was degraded (or had been altered in an unauthorised manner) resulting in ignition taking place.
It was like that in 1999 when I did my GCSE maths (age 16).
The A Level course that I did two years later was very dated (the exam board delayed the introduction of the new course) and the text book had an article on the new invention of the 'compact disk' for use with audio recording.
Visible watermarking is used on many release films (including those shown from digital cinema systems)
The distributes claim that the code is not visible, however it is (especially if you know what you are looking for). It appears for one frame in the film (1/24 of a second) often repeated a few times throughout the reel.
It's the same scenario as smoking, people want to ban cell phone use in places because they don't like it. But I have to say, I can SMS someone in a movie theater without disturbing those around me, as I should be. I put it on silent and if I get a call that's important I may answer and ask them to hold on a moment as I *go out of the theater*. People act like they've been anally raped because they can hear someone else talk on their cell phone. Stop whining.
So you think that nobody can see the bright light being emitted from the screen of your phone.
You must not be a resident of the United Kingdom. I find it interesting that any country's government or military would rely on a foreign proprietary piece of software to reach mission critical goals.
Given Britain exports a lot of defence technology, use of foreign machenary is not that big a problem to many nations
People could be electing their Sherrif, councilmen, or a state refferendum on the same ballot as they also vote for either their state or federal representatives. It's my understanding that some ballots can have over a dozen issues on them.
This is the situation at some of the UK elections (all on different slips), all that happens is the important ballot is counted first, then the less important ballot.
The all night TV show getting the results live is usually only interested in the result for the Westminster Parliment, not the local council results.
Well, now they might be sending mail directly to Google's servers without even knowing it! I find it highly amusing that these privacy advocates assume there's any privacy at all regarding the plaintext email they might send.
Many people forward emails to their gmail account so this was the case even before this new service was offered
The ATMs do read the chips, however if the chip is 'unavaliable' then the magnetic stripe will be used instead.,br.,br.
Also if the chip is unreadable in a shop (clear varnish?) the card will often be swiped and a signiture asked for.
Vue used to sell Ice Blasts (They were later branded 'Tango' Ice blast)
Vue changed its soft drink supplyer from Britvic (Pepsi, Tango, 7-Up [who also supplied Iron Bru from Barrs]) to Coke so I suspect they don't now sell Ice Blasts.
Coke have an equivalent product that I have seen in other cinemas so they may have got this instead.
When I worked at a Vue (ex Warner Village) cinema the Ice Blast machines had an annoying habbit of going into a defrost cycle at the busy moments (luckly there were two machines with the same flavours so at least one was avalable especially if preemptive defrosting took place).
Slashdot Mirror
Some of the UK banks have sold off some of their non-branch (petrol station, shopping centre etc.) ATMs to private operators who do charge.
These comments are from a uk perpective.
If the upgrade was on conract then a trade-in may be required.
Alternatively there are lots of tv adverts for cash for mobile services and the ugrader may have aleady sold their old phone.

I think the BBC would like to have all the Doctor Who episodes too! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Who_missing_episodes

In the Famous Five series of childrens' books one of the characters is called Aunt Fanny.
She also wrote a short story about a chocolate cock.

I think Tesco have a chip reader in the till (below the swipe reader). This was probably done to reduce staff training.
I don't know what useage they make of the information from the swipe reader, but it may be possible to collect if their system is not secure.
I thought the whole point of having the intergrated card reader/pin pads was to reduce the distance that the pin had to travel.

Here in the UK, we don't have this Slurpee thing at all,
We have (Tango) Ice Blast which is a frozen carbonated drink, we also have the Coke Varieties.
They are less common in the UK due to our colder climate
I think most KFC outlets stock the Ice Blasts
