Here's an idea: buy up all patents on H.264 and make them freely usable. Then W3C would have no arguments not to use it in HTML5, google will have no excuse not to implement it, apple will have a head start on getting it implemented on all their devices, and we can have the fucking internet back.
London cable is more a higgledy-piggledy problem than just distance from the exchange. You get situtation where your neighbours can get it and you can't. Even if the cableco can technically get a cable to your flat, the building association which runs the building may not allow it.
A couple of years ago they built the Canary Wharf Tower in London. Out of Aluminium. I was one of the people in a straight line from the transmitter through the tower who one day couldn't pick up jack squat. No cable in the area either. And the majority of building associations responsible for the flats in the area wouldn't give permission for anyone in the blocks to set up satellite dishes.
The court case went on for years. The BBC built a repeater which didn't work. Everyone lost a lot of money.
In fact, I've moved to a different area and had years of uninterrupted TV until they built the fucking Shard tower and it's happened again. Now I just watch iplayer.
Apart from the eye-watering stinging sensation of having salt water going around your already inflamed sinuses:-) Still, only lasts a couple of minutes.
However; when you have dark green stuff coming out of your nose and you coughing jello from deep inside your lungs, you might qualify for some good antibiotics
That's mucus. The rhinovirus irritates the sinuses, causing the discharge, then lives off the discharge. That's how it lives. That's not bacteria.
what kind of sinus infections are we talking about here? If it's the common cold, antibiotics won't do anything for you at all. It's a virus. I think I ONCE had a bacterial infection in my nose. In the form of a large spot in my nostril. Which I could put up with.
I bloody hope doctors near you aren't giving out antibiotics for viral infections. That's basic common sense. In fact, should probably be illegal, given the damage it's doing.
Which is why you should eat active yogurt cultures when you are on antibiotics...
I saw a TV show a couple of years ago with a similar story along the lines of "active yoghurt cultures don't do much either". Just don't eat entirely meat.
Like Steve Jobs and Apple or not... but if you can't see that iTunes totally changed how a huge number of people get and access their music, it's probably because you refuse to.
Changing the way a car showroom looks doesn't involve contributing to cars.
... stop telling me how I should run my computer by trying to lock me in to their "vision."
Who is doing that? apt still works. Use a different desktop. Stop telling canonical I shouldn't be able to use their vision because YOU don't like it. I've always hated the taskbar. It doesn't work. It just clutters up with small rectangles when you've got more than 5 windows open. I can find my windows on gnome 3.
Many people also praise the Dia [dia-installer.de], though I have no personal experience with it.
One missing feature is auto-save. Well, actually, the bug report was going to be "I clicked 'select colour' and the windows all just disappeared", or "i selected a shape, and the windows all just disappeared". Autosave might help until they sort that out:-)
Yes. the fixed/misc one you get when you type "xterm -font fixed". At least I was until I started using konsole. gnome-terminal gives you the option of selecting semi-condensed. fontconfig *should* select it automatically out of the box, but the problem lies deep in Qt where it doesn't even recognise the semicondensed bit or carry it through to the font layer. There is actually a couple of work arounds:
1) hack the code (which I did once)
2) delete all non-semicondensed misc:fixed fonts so it's forced to fall back on it
3) you used to be able to override it in fontconfig, but kde/qt ironically "fixed" that issue, so now it just overrides fontconfig settings.

Can we have the word 'and' back please? Stop being lazy.
no it isn't. Unless you have a citation?

precisely. Not music then.
I cannot name a single good song which got written because of itunes.

I think the key word there is "industry". That said, the music industry's contribution to music has only ever been negative.

I beg to differ. I draw ALL my diagrams in gnome paint, and anyone who complains just doesn't understand art.

well let's see him use a fourier transform to calculate the impulse response map of an auditorium then :-)
Sorry Dr Dre, but having you design speakers is like having an acoustics geek make a hip-hop record.
Well, it took since 1791, but that 2nd ammendment may finally have found the scenario it was intended for. ie. the first one going down the toilet.
We've had them in europe for years.
ok then, remove food.
Tell me about it. Sling-shot launching that Reliant Robin off an aircraft carrier damn nearly killed me!

but can you turn semicondensed on and off? Try reading again.
