If you get a normal Pay&Go sim card, you get charged £1 maximum per day for net access. Thats not bad for HSDPA and you can bluetooth the connection to a laptop.
Well let me respond, being a professional lorry driver. Here's a fact - it's just as bad in a right hand drive in the UK. And the only time it's dangerous, is when a car drives at the same speed while along side instead of overtaking properly. Add to this the normal car drivers habit of driving right up close to the back of the trailer before suddenly swinging out to overtake. One minute your mirrors are clear and you can see about 5 or six cars at varying distances behind you. You gauge the time is right, check your mirrors again and find a car level with the back of the cab about 2 feet away from your wheels and 5 feet below your head. WTF did they come from ? You have to make obvious moves when you drive any size vehicle, dithering just confuses people. If you're passing me, pull out a way back so I can see you, then GET ON WITH IT. I can see you, I'm catching a slower vehicle so I'll wait until you've gone before I move out. But you just glide by doing 2mph faster than me and I'm only doing 55mph ! So next time you pass a truck, make sure you catch the drivers eye in his mirror before you go past, which means pulling out in plenty of time. And if you don't get it over with immediately, you may expect him to pull out, coz he ain't slowing down for you. You don't realise the grief you cause when you force a truck to brake on the motorway. It has a 0-55 time of about 1 minute fully loaded, and braking hard from 55 brings you down to 30 or 40, which is a bitch and maybe 4 gears to crawl up from. At the end of the day, I have 3 big mirrors each side of the cab and if I can't see you in them, you aren't there. Keep your car where the mirrors can see you. Quentin bloody Wilson did a shock horror story on TV about this very issue, and he was shitting himself driving the truck. Not exactly objective. These people don't realise how many lives are saved every day by NOT hitting dumb drivers. That sounds very grand, but the dumb drivers involved usually don't even realise they've just avoided death due to there being a decent driver in the truck they just cut up.
I resent being seen as an obstruction, and then deliberately held up, by the same driver. Everybody want to be in front of everybody else even though the road's packed. When the rush hour starts it's like a load of rats suddenly infest the streets, filling every available space. You can't drive like that and just expect other vehicles to deal with it. Adding technology to the wrong vehicle won't improve manners on the road. Address the real issue - driving skills. </rant>
Hell, in the Martian atmosphere, all you really need for this kind of stuff is a collapsible, inflatable R100, the 3D solar panels that high-schooler DID design, and some ultra-light electric motors.
My Fedora 9 installation offered me direct links to Fluendo for codecs, and Firefox also has direct links to Fluendo for plugins. So is it just that ubuntu has woken up that makes this news ?
Try describing it using money. If she has $10 and buys something costing $5, if the till says she gets $4 change then the machine is wrong. Obviously. The voting machine tells you things via a process you can't and more importantly aren't allowed to independently verify. But the results seem to be wrong. The machine must be examined to see where the problem lies. They won't let you.
How long would you argue in the store that the till was wrong ?
Under that interpretation, he trademarked the domain merely by creating it and using it. That he never registered it is of no relevance, and the "official" bid team should have realised that before they kicked off. He is in the US, yes ? So the mark is protected.
I've seen people pissed because they can't find the "contact us" link. In a 3D world, that would be represented by a telephone or computer or mailbox etc.
And you would eventually find those objects in the basement in the bottom of a filing cabinet in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying beware of the leopard. This kind of reasoning reminds me of the Not the Nine o'clock News sketch where a guy invents a device to tell deaf people when the phone is ringing...
I'm not going to disagree. But I'll add that it's ironic that the west decries and bemoans the lack of human rights in these "slave" countries, but then actively participates in the denial of those rights. It is a human right to have clean water and not be poisoned by toxic chemicals, especially by those that are specifically manufactured for human use. It's just two faced to complain about Chinas human rights record and then deliberately use them to a) produce shit cheaply (keeping the labourers poor) and b) export the waste back to them to suffer the consequences of that cheapness. And because they are poor they have no option other than "thank you sir, may I have another". Colour me disgusted. There is such a thing as moral leadership. Thankfully, this situation cannot continue for much longer, as we are running out of places to relocate our dirty habits to. As the third world gets more of our business, they also get more of our money, and then they start demanding their rights. So we move to less demanding countries. That list of alternatives is dwindling, so IMHO, we ought to be biting the bullet now, and cleaning up our act before we are forced to.
Don't know much about diesel do you. Have a look at these figures, they're from 2005 and the standard they refer to has been in effect for a while now. Euro 6 is due and there are already vehicles claiming to meet it. Basically while diesels give out slightly more NOx, gasoline gives out a much larger amount of hydrocarbons per mile than diesel does particulates (soot).
Not to mention that most US laws apply to the continental US, not US citizens elsewhere in the world. Hence dodgy interrogation in other parts of the world.
Funny but they'll need nanoDeer to lick the salt off the mainboards, RAM, disks (while rotating), unused PCI slots and PSUs. Ever been to the coast ? It's not just salty *in the water*.
Google is a company with an oversupply of young over-educated technological Grade-Point Angels (people whose most singular talent is to convince their teachers to give them high grades in order that the teachers will be able to reflect in their angel's glory).

phpMyAdmin already has this feature. Except in shared hosting environments, where each sites admin has permissions to read/write but not create. If they are in that situation, they can still ask their host to add another user to their dbase with the required permissions.
Exactly right. I think a 1000MW plant needs something like 33 tonnes of fuel a year. 1 truck load. A similar coal plant needs around 125,000 tonnes a year.
Not to piss on your chips, but try that method in Rotorua, North Island NZ. I wore black jeans, because I was travelling and that was all I had brought. My thinking was black is more adaptable to any of various situations. The bouncers wouldn't let me in wearing black. Even when I explained I had nothing else. I later found out that Goths are considered a problem there, and goths wear black. Also the bouncers were Maori, and they can be tricky at the best of times. If that sounds racist, well maybe it is. Getting mugged for the only time in my life by a Maori with a rock while 12000 miles from home tends to influence your opinion of people. I don't hate Maoris, I just don't trust them. Maybe one day a Maori will change my mind, let's hope so.

So the flashing light on the dash completely escapes your notice does it ? How do you guess your speed, wet finger out the window ?

Those prices are higher than fluendos. You can get a complete bundle that plays everything for €28 which works out at $40.

how did they fix a 30-ton transistor without telling anyone.
Maybe because Press are Not Privileged, or No Press Needed ?
Anyway, the effects have been amplified.

That's ok. I found that after you've poked him in the eye a few times, he stays away.
They are only contracted for 1 hour a day, or the $20/hour is on target earnings.
How many people do you evangelize windows to then ?
Or are you just a tight fuck all round ?
A label on the bottom ?
Exactly right. I think a 1000MW plant needs something like 33 tonnes of fuel a year.
1 truck load.
A similar coal plant needs around 125,000 tonnes a year.
The dark side ?
Also the far side is the best place for an observatory, which may need power.
