That explains why I never found a simply pay-as-you-go plan for phone&data when I spent my holidays there... (which will happen again in a week from now. any ideas for a way to have mobile internet on my GSM phone for 3 weeks?)
Who cares. If they for whatever reason won't give you an unlocked phone, get it from any electronics shop you want. That's supposed to be the main advantage that you can get your phone (unsibsidized and without contract) anywhere and then get a cheaper plan that doesn't include phone subsidies. (from any phone company you like) Just slap the SIM into the phone and you're done.
Seriously, other than nostalgia why are they still using corks when much better methods have existed for decades?
Do you know why the older wine gets the more expensive it is? Aging.
No. Older wine is so expensive because after 20 years, you need to throw away half of your stock cause it turned into vinegar or some cork tainted liquid waste. You need to pay for that, too, when buying one of the bottles that are still in drinking shape.
Granted, there are several wines that need a few years to mature, but that's only a small fraction and it is nowhere near several decades..
Who made up that myth with that old wine.... only the smallest fraction of wine (red, VERY tanin rich) has a chance to survive "decades" without spoiling at all.
With times being tough, we might see more one-car families and/or extended families where you have somebody at home to accept deliveries. If anything will make delivery more common, it's those kinds of demographic shifts back towards something that doesn't require everybody to be really busy away from home and/or to have their own personal auto.
I think that's the problem here. I'm already struggling to pick up my Amazon parcels from the post office when the post office tries to deliver them during usual office hours (named because I'm usually at the office and NOT at home...)
Some Granny managed to order groceries online and have them delivered to her place. - And that's something that Amazon and conventional supermarkets are still working on.
The point of Reputation monitoring is to find out, what "information" about you (or the monitored subject) IS already public. So posting such results would be of no use. That kind of monitoring is desigend to find that public page that already everyone but you knows about and to explain why everyone is calling you names like "sheep lover" when you walk down the hall.
It's the PUBLIC bullying and defamation that's problematic. if mullying would consist only of private messages, it could easily be blocked. The problem is the false, but public facebook profile that tells everyone what you like to do with sheep and dolphins.
And $40k wouldn't even hire an single, additional teacher, so much for "nice ressources".
"Plugging in values, we get the frequency of 38.52khz. Wait a minute. Don't many infrared recievers use 38khz as a carrier wave? Yep, they do. But in signals sent by your TV, this carrier wave is sent in a discrete number of pulses with well timed on and off periods. The alarm for this security system just sends the carrier wave on."
Is that.5kHz deviation large enough to be not recognized by the remote anymore? it can't be the code/pattern as there isn't one
Even if it's limited: the article said the alarm systems frequence is identical to the one used by remote controls and only an empty carrier is sent. (so neither keys or macros)
Right now at this time it appears that the best interests are served by complying.
In her defense (and all other companies): Complying to law enforcement requests should be in everyones best intrest. It was a sad day when we had to start to doubt that.
I can't decide if this is a stupid troll or some clever analogy to selling Royal mail. You know, something along the lines of "asking a bank to help hurting yourself by doing something really stupid"

Only if you reduce the internet to facebook and twitter. Hook up your own webserver to the net. Public speech was never controlled *less* than today.

but if you pay cash, the NSA has to find out first who bought the SIM.
But usually the long range at lower frequencies comes for a price: lower bandwidth.

it might be weak, or alreadyy broken, but by definition it is not "plain"

How long will it take for the students to find out this is going on?
Well, it's on the news. What more is there to "find out"?

But he completly ommited the WHY they didn't work.
..as that guy already found out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Martin_of_Tours#European_folk_traditions - and we're talking about 371, not 1060. Now get of my lawn!
So the gouverment can basically CHOOSE the lawyers you can or can't hire by granting or revoking security clearances?
That said, claiming that people won't dispose of evidence if given the opportunity to do so is idiotc.
I call BS.
Why should someone risk to get charged with destruction of evidence, when it's evidence against someone else?
It's not like we have a warrant to search for something that would put you in jail.

Oh... so now you need to be actually convicted of treason to be jailed up for it?
Or rather: how would you know if no one has been convicted when trials can be held in secret court?
No one cares if it IS treason or not if it will land you in jail for treason.
Yes... why not only subject known terrorists to those procedures...
It's the evil flag once more....
I can't decide if this is a stupid troll or some clever analogy to selling Royal mail. You know, something along the lines of "asking a bank to help hurting yourself by doing something really stupid"
I'd even go further and say that I even fully trust the US gouvernment to have only the best intentions.
But we all know what the road to hell is paved with.
