For a while I ran our network out of 2 business standard ADSL lines from a reputable ISP. I could click on any speed test site and it would show me the speed almost meeting the "up to" level. But if you want to download something large (from far away or close by) the rate would start good, then drop and drop, and then just pulse along at an average of one fifth of the "up to" rate. That's 2 separate systems on 2 phone lines.
I'm sure the police are happier about this than anyone. It wasted resources that should have been used for fighting real crime rather than symbolism. The undercover operatives that will surely replace the police will hopefully be paid from a different budget.
Crime stricken, really? I recently spent 4 days there. No sign of anything different from any western city - except the free music festival. Felt comfortable walking around at any hour.
Yes there are vendors, both local and migrant, selling the same old junk. But hey, live and let live.
I was told to be prepared for this this when I purchased a new (petrol/gas) VW Golf in May this year. In 4000 miles I haven't seen the oil level drop at all. Perhaps it's a worst case scenario. I chose the petrol version because the diesel engine seemed gutless, compared with my previous diesel car. I wonder if that was due to emission controls...
That all the patients' details were in an address book mystifies me. I wonder if their addresses were in the same file, and what else? These things are bound to happen given the pressures and distractions of modern life. More precautions are needed where harm may result.
My doctor positively recommends a medication siting clinical tails and studies. I look at him and think "he really believes that will suit me" - strange for an intelligent person.. While I, working in electronics, know I can be sure that our measurements (when interpreted correctly) can lead to truly accurate conclusions.
Accounting coverups will become more common in future as more transparency is forced upon them. The Japanese corporations still live in the old world, and in that world rising sales and profits was the norm where future figures could be almost plucked from the air. How things have changed. They now struggle with a deflating economy and competition from China and Korea that is impossible to beat.
I really don't know where Japan is heading. Although it has little foreign debt the government is heavily in monetary debt to the people. The future is bleak.
In this rare instance the government did the right thing. They introduced a new law clarifying that personal use was ok. It was a recent court case brought by the Musicians' Union and industry representatives that caused a judge to repeal it.
Looks like I'll have to uninstall iTunes immediately...
Card payments can be accepted without power — that's what the raised numbers printed on the card are for!
Indeed:
Just as I'd finished filling up there was a power cut. I presented my card - as I had no cash - and the clerk fished out a dusty old manual machine form under the counter. After being shown how to use it by her supervisor, she checked that my signature matched my card, and it was done. Yes my chip and pin contact-less card is backwards compatible for all occasions. Lucky really as I would not have been able to draw cash from an ATM.
Was he doing any harm, apart from the absolutely tiny amount of power consumed? I seems a waste of police time.
If he hadn't been challenged, he wouldn't have reacted and therefore no further offence committed.

The the same PINs work for ATM and chip-n-PIN transactions for the 4 cards I hold in the UK.
The use of supercapacitors as storage devices is severely limited by their discharge curve (compared with batteries) - google it.
And you had no idea at interview? Did you ask questions? If you did, and if they told the truth, what WAS your intended strategy?
Even though an AC, I'd mod this up for it's insightfulness if I had points.

Oh great, I have a cardiologist appointment tomorrow;) REALLY!

The UK government's use of "abstracting" fits the article exactly.

Would it be any different if he was charging a cheap Nolkia - or even his shaver?
