pick up a leaflet of "London Walks" IMHO that company offers the best guided tours there. Wide selection of tours available (varying geekness-factor; the spy & spycatcher tour was NOT your usual boring tour)
Contrary to popular believe you'll be able to find good food in London/England/UK (To be honest - this includes a visit to an an indian and a chinese restaurant. But they're much better than across the channel.) The pies served in pubs are great, fish & chips.... but at any cost: NO SAUSAGES!
If you manage to completly empty your brain of everything you know about beer or it's taste, you'll find that british beer is also VERY drinkable. I'm always looking forward to a few pints of real Ale. But if you have any expectation left of what 'beer' is supposed to taste, you'll probably spit it across the room.
In my opinion, two weeks is too long for London. There's so much to do and to see there, after 6 days, you'll suffer from "London Overflow". you really should plan about a week for a tour of the rest of england. Perhaps up north to scotland. Edinburgh, some scotish castles.
Don't know if Harry Potter is part of your geek culture, but you'll find guided tours to the filming locations all over england. if your cultural demands are a bit more classic, "The Globe" is a must.
The error margins of speedometers (at least here) have to be calibratet to err on the safe side. It may show 10%+4km/h faster than your actual speed, but never ever slower.
Unfortunatly it's the ONLY basket available, that is desigend to let you take out the eggs again.
All other freemailers I know about are information black holes. store your data there, but moving on the the next provider is a huge PITA.
Google is the only companyI know who activly offers means for other sites to acces the stored data in a secure and reliable way. (APIs, OAuth, Data Liberation and so on)
Sad but true, google would offer to distribute your eggs in more baskets you could carry alone, but the other basket makers are on strike.
It even syncs your phone phonebook with your online adressbook. (Unfortunatly not Outlook or any sensible standard, but the contact lists of some european freemailers)
The other functions like email or rss reading on your phone.. well.. I yet have to find a use for them.
Hey AVM hear this: I need sync to google contacts!
Slashdot Mirror
ah.. explains why i spotted raisins in there. :-)
Go to the underground, get an Oyster card with (say) £20 of credit on it (you'll have to ask at the manned ticket office for this)
Or order it online and have it sent to you in advance:

Neither Camden Town.
Subway-hoping from tourist spot to tourist spot is less fun.
But changing trains at Monument/Bank is an event on it's own! (pretty good model of what an ant in a large anthill feels like)
now that you mention walking:

There is usually a supermarket or other place selling decent ready-to-go foods near the subway stations.
Coronation chicken sandwiches.
Havent been there long enough to find out whats in it, but tastes great.
AVOID SAUSAGES!!

Rule of thumb:
All great things are simple, but not every simple thing is great.
Tags are a subset of metadata.
EXIF Rotation or resolution are metadata, as are caption and size information of a pdf. But neither are "tags"

"Grumpy old men" - Now on slashdot!
2. If you have a modded box, MS really doesn't care
Oh I think they do... but they can't do anything against it!
if you aren't, go and try if you can find the 3D-Version of "Dial M for murder" somewhere.
And from what I saw in the "Christmas Carol" trailer et al - avoid the other 98% of 3d movies!
Generally the 3D technology is only used for "gag" effects in children's and horror movies anyway.
Be at least honest. Thats not the fault of ANY 3D technology. This WILL have to end, if 3d wants to really stay alive.
No. Way.

yes. but when you want to STORE the GPS-data for quite a long while, you'd reduce the recording interval

So now you can see how nice MS actually is!
and now stop whining and drink your CoolAid7.
It's not really clear in the article, but it seems that the machine emitted exactly the amount of radiation it was programmed to.
It's german.. so the english transcription probably would be "veh veh veh" (soft v as in violet, not as in "veh have vays...")
