If we need this to access the NHS does this mean if I get run down by a truck and I don't have an ID card on my person then I don't get treated?
I certainly hope so. Otherwise, people will flock from across the world, just to get run over in the UK. (BTW well spotted there, genius)
If this is the case I might try cutting an artery and running around the hospital foyer spraying projectile blood and taunting the doctors because they can't treat me, as I won't have registered for an ID card.
I think that during WWII, if a couple of blocks of, say, London had been contaminated by a dirty bomb, people would have been relatively unmoved. They had more fatal stuff to worry about.
The whole point of the Mac Mini is OS X.
You are right, up to a point.
However, having discovered that OSX is (in my opinion) highly overrated, I would still place importance on the form factor and relatively silent operation of the Mac Mini. Those features transfer equally to an intel box. They're especially important for someone like me who has to share a relatively small flat with his computer, and doesnt want it humming away noisily in the corner of the sitting room, as standard PCs tend to.
But analysts said they don't see big consumer demand for a clone of the stylish and popular box, or much of a threat to Apple.
Well, they must reckon without people like me.
I bought a Mac Mini soon after it came out. Now that the eye candy honeymoon has worn off, and 'damn this is annoyingly sluggish' takes over, the only thing that attracts me to the Mac Mini is the neat form factor and quietness.
Believe it or not, anonymous fannybaws, I actually bothered to open it in Azureus, and the contained file (as opposed to the name of the torrent) was the MP3 for s2e9. Somebody cocked up, then fixed it.
WTF? Alternatively, unless I'm missing something, you might as well go to the lugradio site for torrents for all the episodes, right up to and including s2e15. not just the random one for season 2 episode 9, given in the link above.
Yeah but as he pans and zooms, the viewpoint of the 'camera' changes, so he can look round obstacles.
I just wrote it off as the usual movie crapness, like when the techno-whizkid 'image enhances' a picture by utterly laughable amounts so you can read the name badge on some guy who was initially hidden within a single pixel.
Okay, In future, can everyone please just type 'ACtStStM' when they want to repeat this true-but-done-to-death statement? It's so boring to hear it repeated ad infinitum.
And can we please have another interesting Dr Who thread, so everyone can observe how "that's X dead doctors out of a total of Y doctors and goodness me that means that soon the doctor regeneration supply will run out!" (suggested abbreviation: GMtDRSWSRO)
I swear, where the photo industry has seen new opportunities now that digital photography is a hard reality the music industry is still a bunch of clueless morons living in the early 1920's.
That is a flawed analogy - the 'photo industry' (that I think you are referring to) sells the means to make photos. The music industry (that I think you are referring to) sells music. The music industry that is actually comparable to the 'photo industry' - i.e: the industry that makes equipment for making music (and playing it), has moved with the times just fine, embracing digital technology just as much as the camera industry.
Conversely, I would imagine that the 'photo industry' that sells photos is just as opposed to 'stealing' their images as the music industry is about 'stealing' music, although it's probably a lot smaller and less powerful.
Riight. If it wasnt for their ideological opposition to open standards, MS would definately cripple their operating system and browser by making it unable to properly render virtually every webpage containing pictures. Yehhp, it's definately their ideological position that rules out dumping JPG.
The U.S. doesn't have digital terrestrial broadcasting yet? Like, at all?
If I may, I would like to join you in tittering through my elaborately frilly shirt cuff at the backward Americans.
I fact, I've found that a good analogue signal is a better than a digital signal for fast-moving pictures, so all those Americans are just sticking with the best transmission format for watching their beastly Nascar racing competitions.

Finger's crossed.
If you convert the indictment (PDF) to HTML, you can read all the blacked-out IP addresses.
Sheesh.
This doesnt apply to ugly nerds.
i.e: you lot.

One thing I would say is it feels like Tiger has slowed things down.

Now everyone is a suspect
:-)
No, judging from this thread everyone's a shrill paranoid fantasist with delusions of self-importance.
cable broadband sucks
In my experience cable broadband doesn't suck.
I wonder how the cameras would look... somewhat unwieldy, presumably.
We all know it's going to be shite, but we'll go and see it anyway.
What's that? Good reviews??! Meesa need a lie down.

A thief has no right to complain if someone steals from him.
Well, in fact he does.
He also has the right to remain silent, a phonecall, an 'attorney' or whatever non-hollywood equivalent applies, etc.
Ah dont you worry, you got 5 insightfulness points out of it ;-)
It may be pretentious, but it is a key requirement for deployment of solutions in the enterprise.
And then when they've done the build, shoot them in the back of the head. Clean, efficient, no loose ends.
Somebody please gilt frame parent as classic example of karma whoring.

Damn, that was somewhat incoherent.
There's nothing worse than those people who go around policing the use of the word 'irony' especially when they get it so egregiously wrong.
It's kind of ironic.
Riight.
