I'll bet it doesn't test for throttling because it'd have to push through too much data and some people with data-caps would complain.
So, what you're saying is you can go where you like and say what you like as long as it's not politically sensitive and you don't take anyone with you whilst you do it..... that's a funny definition of the 'free' in free speech.
Sounds like you probably have some software conflicting with firefox like AV or Firewall / other security stuff, or maybe the phishing database is corrupted or something legacy is hanging around from an old version. What you're describing would drive me nuts. And turn off all extensions and plugins and js and see if that fixes your prob.
I'm betting that there's an external software commonalty with a lot of the people who moan about memory leaks, or else it'd affect everybody right?
You could also try uninstalling ff, deleted all traces of it and then re-installing.
It sounds like the condition of your wife and the condition of the UK guy weren't the same at the point of being seen, he probably should of sought medical advice quicker when his condition progressed.
For anecdotal evidence, A+E in UK are a bit slow unless it looks like you've got something life-threatening. Personally when I got a head injury (not the most serious) it took a few hours before the medic got on to his shift and x-rayed me.
I admit things like hip replacements can take months, I think part of the reason for delays is moon-lighting by NHS staff and gov't deliberately trying to bugger up the NHS in order to make an argument for privatising it more - The public don't want the NHS privatised so Govt. is doing it sneakily bit by bit.
More anecdotal evidence, when a friend had an extremely serious spinal injury+more that required possibly life-saving treatment at a different hospital quickly - every stop was pulled out, he got a police convoy that the royals would've been prroud of.
When my cousin turned blue and passed out, a Helicoptor rushed him to hospital (he's ok now)... so it's not all bad.
The irony is that our health care system treats more and costs half as much. The European treaties that have been signed by UK traitor politicians unfortunately demand that everything possible be privatised:-(
UK used to have a lot of council housing - Govt. supplied housing, not free but far more reasonable prices that what the private landlords charge. Personally I don't think a system where people work hard and then buy other people houses (rent->mortgage) is fair - that's what we have now.
Yes to all of those, with a referral from the doctor (free) who would obviously want good reason to do so (illness, pregnancy etc). Prescriptions aren't free unless you're unemployed etc, even then they are cheap (fixed cost).
I'm in the UK and I'd like to point out that the National Health Service is fucking awesome, there's nothing like being able to walk into any A+E and get treated without having to worry about proving who you are or what bills there are going to be because there are any. Doctor visits, check-ups, tests etc are all 100% free.
Why anyone would want to have the stress of worrying about health care costs is something I don't understand. Only the super-rich could have reason for wanting private health-care.
If the supreme court ruled it legal for police to attach trackers to peoples cars without out warrants then anybody should be able to do it cos it's would be legal....right????
"how can they be expected to implement their policies with such little support for them at the ballot box?" This argument suggests they should constantly do nothing at all.
Our Govt debt is not so bad as a proportion of GDP. The Gov't currently holds huge asset value in the nationalised banks, my worry is the gov't is going to commit huge fraud against the UK populace by letting go of these assets very cheaply. Growth is controlled by lending, more lending = more growth = more taxes raised = debt paid off = less dependency on banks.
As bad as we have it, European people have never had it so good, this is why they are missing the tricks the politicians and corporations play - they are too sated to care.
The west also has poor growth because they allow countries with poor civil rights and lacking good environmental standards to compete unfairly with us - we should have demanded standards from our suppliers - but this is not what corporations want and the politicians allow corporations to dictate to us by writing treaties which the politicians then sign in to law.
The economy is a game the bankers (and the media) play, it's bad now because they aren't lending - that is their deliberate choice - quality of life matters, money doesn't.
I don't like any of the main parties they are all the corporate party. Lib Dems had a choice, do what they said they'd do and oppose fees or wimp out and allow fees. They made the wrong choice and set a whole generation against them.
Well we can agree to disagree, but I'm certainly not someone who falls for media/politicians BS - see the rant in the comments of my youtube channel (my homepage link).
AV merely encourages a 3-party system rather than a two-party system which is of course exactly what the lib-dems wanted, my vote still wouldn't count.
AV is a pointless compromise, accepting that compromise could possibly remove the chance of PR being put forward for several more decades. I disagree that MPs would change their political stance. AV still encourages tactical voting which sucks because people aren't voting for what they believe in and end up with an MP they don't like.
Or perhaps the electorate realised the the replacement was a retarded bunch of crap, what is needed is proportional representation not this half-arsed attempt to appease some liberal democrat MPs who have lost all credibility.
The limited liabilities that you point out are in some cases irrelevant because the money is not taken from your card it is billed to your phone bill - the contract is then written by the phone companie(s) who don't have to give the same protections that the banks have to give, there could be all sorts of nasty small print - do you trust the telcos? do you always read the T's and C's?
I can only lose the cash I carry which is usually not much unlike the potential dangers with this mobile payment system - would you even have to lose your phone - it could possibly be hacked via bluetooth etc without even leaving your pocket!! Visa is covered against theft - are mobile payments?

So single people people can speak their minds but groups of people can't then?
Could you do me a favour, go and stand in a free speech zone without internet access whilst attempting to reply, so that I can hear you views 'freely'
I don't think you understand the purpose of protest, what do you think - they should all stand in a field out in the country to protest or something?

Have you ever had to manage money in your life!!!!!!!!!! Maybe when you leave school and get a job you might understand the answer to your post.
and they can't have had Comcast Internet in the last 90 days.
So they don't really give a crap about children or poverty, they're just trying to grab a few of their competitors customers.
Computer says no :-(

Seriously, I browsed through 4 pages and came across 7 plugs for Samsung products.

Doesn't have the same protections as credit cards.
I have at least one card with "swipe to pay" via a RFID chip in the plastic.
I'd break & bin that straight away, you're just asking to be robbed if you carry that.
