Or just look up user names on Steam community to see who has not marked themselves as "private". It shows all games that they own in their profile and what they have played recently.
Are you sure that the child in question lives in the UK? Does it state that anywhere in the posting? Or are you just assuming the location of the child based off of the screenname of the grandparent?
I think that the suggestion is to go to a local university to locate tutors and teaching help for the child, not to enroll the child in the Uni.
Personally, I read enough slashdot to know better then the AC on the reactions here. There are few places with more flaming.
Since http://oceanmarketinginc.com/ uses GoDaddy, and the story of Weebly's fun with GoDaddy, maybe we just need to complain to GoDaddy to get the DNS for OceanMarketing removed..
For those who do not know, here is the weebly story:
Why does it matter what types of 1's and 0's I send over the air? Is it a big difference when I send 1's and 0's from my laptop as opposed to my cell phone? After all, I am still limited to the same speed and volume....
If I have paid for data, I would like to use data, thankyou.
At the same time, in-depth info should be made available on request. Too many times have people built slide decks as the whole of their presentation and totally forgot that there are some people who either by want or need, will request much more info then can be presented in a deck or during the Q&A.
See, the removing the default F* keys and making me do a Fn+F* to use it bothers me more then the Sysreq key. I use the F* keys a lot on all my keyboards.
And BTW, using Apple as an example for what is right is questionable.Remember, long ago, they decided that end users did not need the ability to right click...
Unlimited? Comcast yells if you download/upload too much in one month. Note, that the limit is high (currently 250GB/month) but the fact that there is a limit, is by default not "unlimited". That does limit my effective speed to 768 kbps (96 kBps) which is "slightly" lower then the 12 Mbps (1536 kBps) in download speeds that they sell.
What it really comes down to, is that Comcast is doing both. They are limiting the amount you get per month, and the speed you get it at.
Really? If having paying customers allows them to post a better range of content, I'm all for it, especially if there is little to no advertising in the paid content.
After all, cable, which only has paying customers, has been so good about having little to no advertising, even for the "premium" channels that cost even more to get.
Agreed. If they are going to ban an app for reasons like this, then they need to ban the web browser, since it can hit more porn then pretty much any other app they can find.
If they really want that much of a nanny state, then they need to have the telco's filter the web that the iphone can see.
I have met people who do not think about toilet paper and they stink.
I am a firm believer that people should have at least a basic understanding of what tools they are using. Knowing the basics of windshield wipers means that you can purchase and change them yourself (and pay less in the long run). Knowing the basics of computers means that you will, at least, help minimize the amount of damage you do to your computer via virus, malware, stupid user tricks, etc. I have worked too much tech support to encourage systems that do everything for the user. It just creates more problems then it is worth.
Most forums and comment boards record the IP's for who leaves messages, I think that slashdot.org should also post that IP in the header for the message right next to the user name (including the anonymous cowards). Since this is a Private phone number connecting to a public server, this should not be a problem, right?
I agree, I also do not really keep track. But I think that many of the "average" users user more bandwidth per month then they think. Just like how many people did not pay much attention to how many minuets they talked on the phone per month till cell phones came along with that billing style. At first people where amazed by how much time they really did spend on the phone. I think that something similar will happen here. I just hope that people catch quickly and try to take their business elsewhere.
I was curious and found that the Firefox extension for http://www.bugmenot.com/ has logins for the site so that you can view the info.
You know, I hate forced, "free" logins.

That is a setting in the play store for android. Easy to turn off.

Considering the amount of words in there already that, at one point in their life or another, where considered slang...
no.

Irony would be Microsoft suing Google to disassociate the cloud from the OS
I don't think Microsoft has managed to patent the cloud...
But they may believe that if they use it enough in adverts, people may think that they patented it....
He also should have a second set of keys (or a Password Vault) available in case the driver dies in a fire with the keys on him.

I think that I currently have 3 DC's in storage with a ton of games. I guess that it is time to dig it out and play it again...

Just remember, the internet is proof that a large amount of monkeys behind a large amount of keyboards does not produce Hamlet. Just porn.
What problem is the inflatable tower going to solve?
Too much government hot air? They are going to need a place to blow it all soon..
Then I see myself watching Hulu less and less

With the emphasis on "coin" since that is all either side cares about anyway..
Don't forget "The Realm" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Realm_Online Released in 1995. Or even older, the Original Neverwinter Nights: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neverwinter_Nights_(AOL_game) 1991 (even if it was only on AOL. )

That is like the anti-NASCAR driver toy. Maybe you can use that old toy to help recovering NASCAR fans.

I often wonder if the average user even knows how much bandwidth they use in a month....
