We have our offices in a high-rise building, and essentially you can't use your mobile phone as the quality is very bad. I assume it is because we are too high up and have too many other cells in range so the phone is constantly switching cells. Proximus (basically Vodafone Belgium) offered us something which I assume must have been using similar technology two years ago. They wanted 1000 Euros so we declined.

It is possible with Skype to call other countries. How would they know that they should call the US if you don't specify it? Skype is not an American company. And telephone numbers should always be stored with a + in front of it.
- Synfuel is meant to be a petrol and diesel replacement produced from coal (for mor information look at the South African company Sasol: almost half the country's requirement of petrol are made of coal. And yes, it works just fine.
- At high oil prices owning real synfuel technology is like a licence to print money. You take cheap coal and turn it into expensive petrol.
- You may argue that synfuel production is unprofitable at low oil prices and therefore, subsidies are needed at low oil prices to make companies invest into this technology.
And the last thing is precisely what the US government intended with its tax break. I don't want to say that it is sensible tax break, but I think some people would argue it is.
So, to summarise: High oil prices -> Synfuel producers make money because they can sell their synpetrol at high prices Low oil prices -> Synfuel producers make money because they get a subsidy.
HOWEVER, the companies described in the article do not produce synfuel. They simply make a nonsense modification to the coal that qualifies them for the taxbreak. Therefore, they do not benefit from high oil prices as a real synfuel producer would.
So now, they are lobbying to get their taxscam going that has NO benefit to the public at all.
What lawmakers should do: Tighten the definition of synfuel so only real synfuel producers qualify for the tax break. These will be happy with high oil prices and although they will still want the tax break at high oil prices, they shouldn't get it as they are making enough money on their own.

The device comes with a variety of features like finger-touch control, battery life, fast graphics, multitasking, real-time processing, interchangeable skins and much more.
That's a great feature! Imagine a PDA without battery life.
If you think the Bourne Identity film was not similar to the book, you should watch the Supremacy. For Identity, at least the locations are similar, you've got the money from the bank etc (OK, not a lot of similarity, but at least a bit!). Supremacy is completely different.
Have you read and seen the Bourne Supremacy? The plot of the film has nothing whatsoever in common with the book. Zero. Zip. (except the title maybe and the name of the protagonist) I was very surprised when I read the book.
You need to make sure that your permissions are set correctly. Make sure that the subfolders inherit the permissions of the main folder. It seems like you did not have the permission to do anything with the UserName folder itself, but you had the permissions for the subfolders and their containing files. You need to right-click the UserName folder, then go to the permission settings, advanced and tick the bottom-most tick box to reset all permissions on files below the folder and update them with the same permissions as the folder itself. In WinXP, the permission tab may be deactivated, you need to activate it first in Explorer -> Tools -> Options -> View. (I may have got some of the wording wrong as I don't have an English Windows)
MS Outlook formats the telephone number automatically based on the country of the contact. If no country is entered into the country, your location is used instead to determine the nmber format.
By the way, it does the same to the location of the post code relative to the city.
No, the grand-parent is right. You are mixing reality with a Microeconomics 101 market model: In real life, there are hardly any markets that are subject to perfect competition. Price-Discriminatin mostly leads to higher efficiency and social welfare (see Schmalenbach's famous paper from long time ago).
You are implying a market with increasing average cost and homogenous products - but how is that relevant to the online music market? Fixed costs are high, marginal costs are close to zero. In a perfect market, prices would hence be close to zero. How would the "producers" now recover ther fixed cost? They couldn't. And because they would know this, they wouldn't enter in such a market in the first place.
Therefore, you can only have a music market with market power for the producers: This market power is mainly achieved through marketing decisions (re-positioning their poducts) that lead to heterogenous product markets. Additionally, legal means like territorial licensing are used to geographically separate markets and be able to price-discriminate.
Overall, this means that you can't legally get music for the marginal cost, which makes the market inefficient in a short-run, static sense. However, in the long-run, incentives to invest need to be preserved and hence, the music market may very well be efficient.
We are talking about big airliners here, right?
Only takeoff is manual. After that, the autopilot can be set to control everything, including (if the airport is equipped correspondingly) the landing. The pilot only takes control after landing. Of course, you need to tell the autopilot where to fly to and which waypoints to use, but that's out of the question.
Not true. I have not seen a mail program that does not respect the reply-to header.

Weird! I checked this in detail again. It seems that there is a difference whether other Firefox Windows with several tabs are open or not. If I have other open windows and tabs (like I normally have when surfing around), mozilla_die1 just slows down the computer, but you can actually close the tab again and you are back to normal. mozilla_die2 also slows down the computer, you can select other tabs, but you can't close the offending tab or load new pages in other tabs.
If I only open mozilla_die 1 or 2 in a single tab in a single window and no other tabs are open, Firefox crashes immediately.
I opened all the pages in tabs in Firefox 0.10.1 under Windows 2000, and Firefox did not crash. It became somewhat unresponsive, but I could still select other tabs, minimise and maximise. I could not load new pages anymore.
Can someone else test this as well, please?
And can someone tell us whether this has security implications or not?
I had Windows 3.1. I tell you, I used this computer once or twice after being used to Windows 2000 and KDE; and Windows 3.1 is terrible indeed! Just remembering how often I actually did not use Win 3.1 at all, but just did things from DOS directly. The Netscape 3 also took a large part of my (gasp!) 105 MB hard disk...
You are lucky! I ran Netscape (3.something? Gold?) on a 486/33 with 4 MB RAM... That was in the beginning of 1998 (when the computer was already 5 years old). I did have a 14,400 modem, and at times the computer would take longer rendering sites than it took for the data to come in. Seriously though, for WWW, this setup was pretty unusable, but it was fine for E-Mail.

Why not port 80? I can only access ports 21, 23, 25, 53, 80, 110, 143, 443 and 1723 from work.
Serious question: Can someone tell me (a non-IT professiona) why the T1 lines are so expensive compared to a fast ADSL?
Let me get this straight:
- Synfuel is meant to be a petrol and diesel replacement produced from coal (for mor information look at the South African company Sasol: almost half the country's requirement of petrol are made of coal. And yes, it works just fine.
- At high oil prices owning real synfuel technology is like a licence to print money. You take cheap coal and turn it into expensive petrol.
