Watch out for that communist healthcare investment talk coming out of your government.. You could be spending that money on defence, or Israel, or civilian communication monitoring infrastructure, or any number of other things for the greater good of your society.
Comparing the cost of the War on Terror (or Drugs or whatever) to government investment in researching heart disease treatments over the last decade is left as an exercise for the reader.
Seconded. I am on my third(!) battery and second power adapter. I have had my DVD drive replaced twice, and separately had the top and then the bottom of the case replaced due to dents preventing me getting into the ports. I have stress fractures around the screen, and the surround is cracked on a line with the bottom of the screen on both sides. The HDD failed not long after I got it and I replaced it myself with a WD Black which is still going strong. I think that almost all of the component failure issues are related to the operating temperature of the computer. Certainly, I am convinced that this is the case for the optical drives. Only 2 USB ports is a bitch, the 15" is supposed to be a top end spec without a larger form factor. I would gladly have an extra USB instead of both FW800 & 400, just the 800 would do as they are on the same controller and connecting a 400 device drops the speed of the 800 port. The plastic insert around the Kensington lock means that you can twist and pull it out while locked - useless! Also, If it was up to me, the DVI port would carry audio for use with DVI->HDMI converters, many other brands have done this. As for the dents, I have titanium Apple notebooks that are in much better shape, that have been through the same wars this one has. All of them are protected in Moshi cases that the computer stays in while on. Apple is turning into the Sony of the 80's - built to be replaced. The non-replaceable battery policy is further evidence of this.
It's a Hitachi 2.5" 160GB manufactured in APR-07 labelled as having "Apple HDD Firmware 2006". It was from a white MacBook.
The guys that looked at it (ABC Data Recovery in Sheffield) gave me the explanation above.
My friend said that if that was the case, if the data could be extracted, it would have to be reconstituted by hand which would be expensive. He recommended MJM Data Recovery in Somerset to do this.
I had a drive fail last year with some personally valuable information on (during the 3 hour window of time I had repurposed its backup drive for a data transfer - sods law, should have just gone and bought another drive). I ended up sending it to a data recovery company who told me that the first sectors were corrupt, which is where the "softest" part of the firmware was stored and consequently there was no possibility of recovering the data, even with a controller swap or extracting the platters. A friend of mine who works for the UK police data forensics team (paedo-investigator) said that other options that exist were mind-numbingly expensive. I guess this is what you did.
Out of interest, did you find a free VNC and SSH client? I've only found the paid ones, which after paying for the VNC client three times on three different handsets and never once getting a reply to a mail requesting that they transfer my license to a new PIN, I'm not paying for again.
I have read that such a deal would probably result in a total monopoly on the back end for Ericsson. Thus the networks (Vodafone, O2, Orange-Mobile and Three) could have their operating costs pushed up, which would be passed on to the consumer.
Unless I feel safe that I'm needed by my spouse, I'm not interested. Of course, I'm co-dependent-- if someone clearly needs me, I'm immediately drawn to and interested in them. If they clearly do not need me, I'm repulsed. If they are in the middle, then it's more about whether I'm interested or not.
This is one of the clearest breakdowns of a key part of successful relationships I have ever read. Bravo.
You can't board the Channel tunnel train without a passport. You're stuck at Folkestone. Much better to be in the Schengen zone if you've got no paperwork.
Fact is they talk about using XGrid. They're still running their non-standard FORTRAN with dependencies on compiled binaries from companies that went under for architectures that don't exist anymore except under emulation.
The GP makes a valid point - that conditioning explains the expectation of a situation that an enlightened person would call abusive - with an admittedly ripe analogy.
Yes, it's wrong. Application data should be separate from user data. It's a necessity in a multi-user OS. I do want my data to remain intact across application upgrades and reinstallations. I probably do not want to apply the same backup policy to my installed applications as to the data I create with them.
I'm just your average user, not a developer. Intuitively, when something is saved, especially something like a game save, I EXPECT it to be written to the game's fucking application directory.
This is wrong. With the huge installation sizes of modern games, I know of many average users (especially purchasers with original media) who uninstall and reinstall their games and appreciate when their saved games persist. And why shouldn't they? Save game files tend not to be terribly big, and if I can't have 3 20GB games installed at the same time why should I have to start again every time?
These same average users are bothered by the presence of a old game folder in Program Files after uninstallation (me too!) - "Why didn't it uninstall completely?". The answer to this is invariably that the uninstaller was not able to remove some files that were created in the application directory. And that's because they shouldn't be there.
My BlackBerry, when on T-Mobile UK, had an IP address in a block that was geolocated as being in Germany. Since moving to Orange, I occasionally have an IP that looks up as being in France.
As a result, I have often been locked out of my internet banking, as they identify this as suspicious / potentially fraudulent activity, unless I have informed them that I am going to be abroad.
I have to physically go to a branch of my bank with two forms of ID to reactivate my online banking. Consequently I don't use internet banking on my handset. It is a pain.

You (used to be able to?) return for a switch within a certain time-period (two weeks?).
This may be a European legal directive though.

The only info a nerd needs. I have a 240V one for Europe, and a 110V for the US.
Mod this up people - this is everything he needs to know for €19.90.

Mod Parent Up. I hadn't heard of Jasper Wireless before, but I have been looking for an international roaming data solution and they seem impressive.

Mod it up. Get it to +6. This is the most Insightful post for a long time.
I refer you to my previous post on the matter.
Most poignantly, Dizzee was No.1 again at the beginning of this month..
It is a little known fact that Acorn computers and their ROM contents cause gender identity disorders.

In a modern sense an "anti-semite" is someone who is hated by Jewish people.

All those Mac users are running Terminal.

Beleived the story - that came out straight after Obama announced he wouldn't be replacing Marine One?
Also, Iran is the enemy.
