100 to 200 Kb/s is incredibly slow for 3G. I'm with T-Mobile (UK) and can easily get 4-5Mb/s in the right area if not more. Of course it can vary, but even then I'd still expect at least 1-2Mb/s
Yes there is, it's called a Driver's Licence and most people have one anyway. They cost only slightly more than the now old ID card. I really didn't see the point of it anyway when nearly everyone has a licence (whether they can drive or not - even a provisional licence would be fine).
Did you even read the link you posted?, that flight never crashed, it just lost power to all 4 engines for about 15 mins, but they eventually started up again.
I doubt this is one of the main reasons, if it was they'd have done this long ago. As it is, the cost of the PS3 has come down to the point where they are more or less braking even now, so any more consoles sold aren't really gonna make a huge difference to them, they'd have been better of doing this 2 years otherwise when the manufacturing cost was much higher.
And how do you know it isn't the other way round, and they do it to prevent their children getting brainwashed with concepts like Evolution doesn't exist. I'm sure this is especially true in the US, where there is far too much religious involvement in the education system.
That chart is rubbish. They've grouped all the iPhones into one model, yet all the other phone makes are split up. Looks like Apple paid Nielson to do some fiddling.....
No, you're not required to pay for the licence fee if you own a TV. You only need it if you wish to watch LIVE broadcasts, using it for watching DVDs/connecting to your games console etc is fine if that's all you do.
It's not compulsory unless you watch live TV. Using your TV for games consoles or playback of pre-recorded content (DVDs etc.) doesn't require a license.
Quality control is one of the biggest advantages of console gaming, and it's long been a complaint of PC gamers that their versions of games are buggy because the studios don't put the QA time into them because they can always release patches, while console games have to be relatively bug free on first release.
You realise right that the current generation of consoles no longer need this all important quality control for the big fact that any problems they can now send out patches to everyone (just you can on a PC). So many games now get realised before they are ready (take Socom: Confrontation for instance), incredibly buggy at start and as a result got really bad reviews, but has improved massively since then.

Well to be fair the UK doesn't use the metric system completey either. Not quite as bad as the US, but a lot of stuff is still in imperial.

Well from TFA,the Judge would have let him off had he not originally lied to the police about what happened.
Have you seen ANY women around here?

Second, random read and write speeds are just as abysmal as traditional HD's.
That's where you're wrong, according to this, the random reads at least on the smaller files are significantly faster than a normal HDD.

Whether they'd get away with that in the EU is another matter entirely. I'm not surprised at the outcome in the US though.
Except that EULAs have never been proven in court or otherwise and as such, mean nothing.

I doubt then you will be watching those Blu-Rays at full 1080p under XP with a non-hdcp monitor.
Erm no it isn't you can move the documents folder just fine. I have.
Actually they are named after F1 tracks.

This isn't new, IIRC, the same was done with Street Fighter 4 and Resident Evil 5.
Umm you do realise right that Google Voice barely duplicates Skype in the slightest (and it provides many things that Skype doesn't do).

Unlikely considering they have £4bn+ of debt.

EA ported Orange Box to PS3 and Valve refuses to support it.
That's more down to the ex-Microsoft, PS3 hating Gabe Newell being in charge there.
Lately, DLC has been an excellent way to make the games cheaper, because there is further revenue to be had on the DLC later on.
You'd think that wouldn't you, in reality it isn't really the case at all.

Not everyone may need a blu-ray player, but a lot of games do - you'd never get anywhere near the amount of content MGS has for instance on 1 DVD.
