As has been pointed out to me elsewhere, most browsers will, if you enter "vtvgthafhjugyr" automatically try "vtvgthafhjugyr.com" and then "www.vtvgthafhjugyr.com" - so it would be hijacked.
If you read Comcast's page on their "service", you'd see that this ain't gonna happen unless your mailserver is www.INVALID-DOMAIN-HERE.tld - they require the "www."
According to comcast's own pages, their "service" only applies to www.INVALID.tld, and possibly in the future www.INVALID.tdl and www.INVALID - meaning that in all cases it requires www. at the start, only accepts valid tlds at the end at present, and may also intercept invalid or blank tlds at some point in the future.
To be honest, given that they're doing it anyway, they seem to have chosen a fairly inobtrusive way of doing it.
Zebra LP2844s seem to get everywhere. I have a dedicated one just for me on my desk at work, as does my colleague next to me. They work perfectly every time with no hassle, ever. Lovely piece of kit.
The other printer I have on my desk is an Oki dot-matrix printer, which is used for triplicate carbon-type labels. It jams several times a day and loses alignment occasionally. I've also killed two of them in the last six months. Not such a great tool.
I always forget that Hull is separate from the remainder of the UK in this. My first thought when reading the summary was "Wait, we always have options with ISPs in the UK".
Some people are being charged a higher price than others - clearly it affects us.
Yes, I know this is what companies endeavour to do - charge the highest price to each individual that they are willing to pay. Doesn't mean as the buyer I have to like it.
You're calling a Rover 75 a hothatch? It's not exactly hot, and it's (to the best of my knowledge) purely a saloon. The "hothatch" definition tends to be small powerful hatchbacks. A Golf, for example.

So I was wrong, it's still a problem.
Good point, I'd forgotten that.

Which isn't exactly an unreasonable requirement.

People living in a situation where they don't have control over their internet connection?
For example, someone living with their parents, or in shared accomodation.

I preferred the ka-boom.
I watched the YouTube version, and all I can say is... fuck me, that's incredible.
Put simply: No, there isn't.
If California rebels, you're screwed, it seems...
Is it? Why?
If I'm capable of rigging an election electronically, I could be capable of covering my tracks.
Ruining? Sounds like a much better weekend than some alternatives, like lawnmowing, watching football, and decorating...
I don't agree to agree to disagree!
Oh, hell yes.
I think more people would expect it to be a wall of fire.
You company hires based on experience? You're lucky.
Mine appears to hire based on how likely the new manager is to be the bitch of those hiring him.
No, it submits passively.
Some people are being charged a higher price than others - clearly it affects us.
Yes, I know this is what companies endeavour to do - charge the highest price to each individual that they are willing to pay. Doesn't mean as the buyer I have to like it.
Because it affects us?
Also, surely one could be an economics nerd.
Also, don't forget that chewing gum is illegal, and vandalism GETS YOU FUCKING CANED.
Where was the downside again?
I think you just end up with mutual violation. Which sounds potentially painful.
No, the big hatchback is the 45 and its predecessors (400 series). I kinda like my 416.
The 25 and 200 are the little ones.
Good analogy, though. :)
