Are you sure about this entering your PIN backwards trick? The only real reference I can find is a 6 year old article:

and they imply that it's possible but nobody has implemented it. Any other searching just throws up snopes like sites debunking it as a hoax.
"homosexualiy will eventually be declared a disease"
Up until 1992 the World Health Organisation assigned "homosexuality" the code 302.0 in the Internation Classification of Diseases. Many countries who maintain their own classification codes still have homosexuality listed.
Probably poor form to reply to my own post, but in reference to the Parliament Act, it's worth having a look at the Salisbury Convention to see why it isn't as powerful as it sounds.
This wasn't snuck in, it's been around for quite some time now. It actually serves a valid purpose as well. Basically, the part that this article refers to allows a government to bypass the House of Lords (an unelected body) after a certain number of tries in a certain time period when trying to pass a bill. Anything that goes through the parliament act will generate enough publicity for the public to kick up a fuss about it if they don't like it anyway.
We often hear about Jamie's past experience as a dive master, and Adam has alluded to Jamie having Forces experience (jokingly or not... I couldn't really tell.)
You both seem to have led interesting lives, I'd love to know a little more about your backgrounds.
Thanks
They did do an alphabuster test actually for one episode... The categories were as I recall:
Pain threshold
Memory of past episodes
Ingenuity.
Estimating weight of various objects
And one other...
Jamie won them all but the weight one.
WMA won't be useless under OS X. There's always window media player for OS X, and if you don't mind some chance of quality loss, you can convert WMA to MP3 using free tools.
As a web server admin, patching to secure against this worm is trivial.
If you're the only user, you can rename the xmlrpc files.
Besides, your/tmp shouldn't have exec permissions anyway, and wget, curl, lynx etc. should be root use only.
Sounds like you could make this really thin and well polished though. If you could work out a way to make it relatively seamless it would look really cool.
What sort of length are we talking about? You can get 4 hours of video onto a DVD of 4.7GB (of a quality that you couldn't get better than on your typical household TV. If you have a fantastic plasma screen you may notice an improvement at 3 hours/DVD). So a 60GB iPod would hold about 2000 songs and 40 hours of DVD quality video. I'm sure they will be releasing larger hard drives at some point, this isn't going to require a fundamental overhaul.
When cisco acquired linksys, build quality went down the pan. My pre-cicso equipment is solid stuff, built to last. The WRT54G I've got now feels flimsy and from what I've heard from other users is pretty prone to damage.
I'd rather this doesn't happen, as at the moment Nokia is an excellent company that doesn't need messing around with.
Europe wants galileo because at any moment the US is free to pull the plug on GPS. Europe therefore cannot run its affairs on a satellite system that may go down, and should therefore build their own system that they have more control over.
You cannot own the internet, it's not an entity. You can own the root servers, and that is what the US have, and therefore assume they own the concept of the internet.
Are you on something?
The internet is a group of all the different national and slightly larger scale networks of the 70s and early 80s. It was mainly US inventors who developed TCP/IP, ethernet, etc. but the way you're talking it's a safe assumption you don't share the same intelligence as them, and can't really claim to be associated to them simply because you live in the same country by some random chance.
Also, the UN is the United Nations. You're probably thinking of the EU, the European Union. The difference is the US actually owns the GPS system, whereas nobody owns the internet, as it's an international cooperation project. Besides, the rest of the world is developing Galileo, a GPS-like system. (Which, BTW, the USAF have threatened to blow up if the rest of the world doesn't comply with what the US wants them to do with it.)
Your memory of ECON 101 must be very hazy.
"artificial monopoly = bad bad idea."
Since when? What you have here are incredibly high fixed costs. An example: Transmitting gas all over the country (I'm in the UK, my terminology may be different) requires pipelines. For Transco (one gas company) to lay the pipelines, then British Gas (another), then whoever else wants to get in would be madness. There would be three sets of pipes in your streets and this would push prices up to rediculous levels. It makes much more sense to use the same pipes and the same homogenous product, gas is gas.
This product would work the same way. It's a natural monopoly, there are very high fixed and sunk costs when starting the project. No country has a true free market because they don't work, we need government intervention, and this is one of those times. Public owned huge infrastructure, let smaller firms use that to sell their product. Pay for the infrastructure by renting it out to smaller firms. That or, public owned ISP, but that would be a little dodgy.

It's not news that it's the case. The article isn't "A High IQ Doesn't Mean You're Smart", it's "Why a High IQ Doesn't Mean You're Smart".
This is research into explaining the disparity, not proving or demonstrating that it exists.
The summary says they ran over a competitor's model with a car, not the Dell.

Hello seann.

The tone of the article...
It sounds so malevolent!
"overnight" should be replaced with "under cover of darkness" though.

Apart from computers and cases of varying kinds, you need to remember your mini fridge! Don't forget the mini fridge!

I saw data-processing. I then saw DP next to it and though "Dual penetration? A little out of place in a book for children!".

Been out for almost an hour in Europe at the time you posted.
