I certainly wouldn't want the CoS editing Wikipedia, paid for or otherwise, but that doesn't mean that every instance of paid for editing is wrong.
People are paid to write free and open source software, and we don't have a problem with that. Of course the difference there is that where we do have a problem with what they wrote, we can fork it. We could fork Wikipedia, but it wouldn't be so easy.
If the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation were to pay someone to edit some of the healthcare articles, I probably would be happy with that, but if they edited IT and computing articles, I wouldn't be so happy.
I guess you'll find it isn't actually a car, but it is registered and taxed as a quad bike. A popular electric vehicle in London, the GWiz, is classed as a quad bike.
That won't work. You need to set up something that means you receive money from a legitimate account. With the ebay sales, the money is coming to you direct from the stolen credit card, with only the plausible deniability that you didn't know it was from a stolen card. That transaction can still be reversed.
It's the second stage of the phishing scam. They break into people's accounts, transfer the money into your account, then you transfer it to them by Western Union or similar, or you buy stuff with the money and send it to them.
When the phishing victim complains, the transfer is reversed and you are left out of pocket.
Usually you need to register the credit card to the same drop house. That can sometimes work, but it does make things more difficult, and there is a limit to the number of cards you can have at one address.
My ISP, Telefonica O2, uses BT's last mile connection between my house and the exchange, and then has its own equipment in the exchange and its own backbone. There are others that resell BT's service.
BT doesn't have any control over bandwidth etc of people like me who use Local Loop Unbundled services.
When people sign up for broadband, one of the main things they want it for in this country is iPlayer. If iPlayer doesn't work well on BT Internet, they will go to another ISP where it does work. That will be a selling point for their competitors. For that reason, BBC can tell them to get lost.
In Britain, driving above the speed limit will get you a speeding ticket. Driving too fast for the conditions but still within the speed limit will get you a "dangerous driving" or "driving without due care and attention" ticket.
That is so last century. You have vowels in your words which are completely unnecessary, and everything is typed using roman script rather than similar looking cyrillic and greek letters.
Unfortunately, slashdot's unicode support doesn't allow me to give you a demonstration.
I have a big shortage of roof space on my house, and I doubt solar is going to get anywhere near producing all of my electricity or water heating requirements, so I would have thought that ultimately it is watts per square meter that matters.
You pay air passenger duty, which is a fixed rate per flight depending on whether the flight goes inside or outside the EU.
The rest of what airlines call tax is actually airport landing fees, which is what the airport charges the airline for the use of its facilities, and is nothing to do with tax.

As far as threats to Wikipedia's integrity are concerned, I think it is the worst.

How can anything to do with Twitter be cool?

This $33m will go a tiny way towards getting the bailout funds our banks need.
Also, offshore gambling sucks money out of the economy, so from an economic perspective, it is a good idea for the government to try to stop it.

At my school it was what we called the deputy headmaster.
Or like Linspire's Click & Run
What's the difference in size between a 16GB chip from whenever the last generation was launched, and a 32GB chip now?

Yahoo is the market leader in webmail, and Hotmail is a close second. Those people still use Google for search.
They get redirected to live search at the moment, and live search gets redirected to Bing.
Unfortunately I was unable to vote for them as they didn't have a candidate in my region.
We invented the imperial units you still use. It was the French who invented the weird metric stuff.
But what do you spend your thousands of dollars a year on now that you aren't spending them on CDs?
I spend my hundreds of pounds on concert tickets and cinema tickets.
They forgot the unit of mass. Everyone knows they are measured in John Prescotts.
Surely it should be measured in British Libraries or National Libraries of Scotland etc rather than Libraries of Congress?
Only problem is that it is easier to see in a VM from outside than it is to look outside from within a VM.
