If I had mod points I would mod you up.
Most articles on the BBC are followed by comments by people who do not understand the fundamental workings of the organisation. The BBC is an independent news organisation. It does not have to bend to the will of governments or advertisers. That is it's huge advantage over commercial news and TV broadcasts. You only need to watch some US news shows to understand why this is preferable to commercial TV news.
Did you realise that switching to AC would make it less obvious that you replied to your own post?
The point wasn't interesting. No replies doesn't mean "add your own".
I've been working here for 3 years and have continually pushed FOSS at everything we can use it for.
Currently our intranet is running MediaWiki, our mail servers are postfix, monitoring is cacti and nagios and our production systems are running JBoss and Apache.
I'm pretty sure this is mainly because I have a deep routed love for free stuff and believe that it represents a better offering in terms of support, ease of use and cost.
there's nothing to say that windows won't automatically download these during the initial setup.
if there's a wizard to select to have them automatically download during windows first boot, then that would be a good way of helping n00bs out.
I guess you haven't discovered the 'tabs' feature yet?
I'm using nightly builds of FF3 which seem to leak a LOT less than FF2 and all I have open is Gmail and 3 Slashdot articles and memory usage is already 138,xxx K. Granted that's low but still over 100mb;)
the numbers are published, the speed cap is temporary and they only do it in the hours specified, to those who are heavy users. i'm a heavy downloader, so i just schedule all my downloads for 1am onwards, seems to work for me.
also - they keep increasing speeds for users free of charge, and with these increases come increased caps and usage limits in those set hours.
i use iplayer on windows, and while there are programmes i want to see that aren't in the catelog, i think they've done an awesome job of tv on demand given the current infrastructure of the internet.
"Not least is in its reinforcing of the attachment people have to their ISP's email address"
So how about you just register yourself another email address, just like you would if you used your ISPs regular webmail. I'm not sure how this would STOP you from changing ISPs or how it would make it harder. I've never used my ISPs email address simply because if I change ISP, I would have to inform everybody that i'd switched.
Yes, you're right. This is clearly an insult to victims of FIRST LIFE (ie, real life) rape. 'VIRTUAL RAPE' is just another term coined by 'SHITTY LAWERS' who need to make more money. Nobody felt violated and physically hurt by this action. If anybody else think otherwise, they should get a REAL LIFE and stop being so bloody stupid. I dare anybody with an IQ higher that 60 to challenge me on this.
by the sound of it, they don't have the necesarry AD infrastructure to support that solution. implementing AD for this purpose will be expensive and costly in time.
Now come on. We're not being torn apart, grow up. If you think they're taking over Europe, you should check out Iran's neighbour Iraq and how America is taking over there. Just how many soldiers do they have over there now? They're not even civilians in the country, they're armed soldiers with license to kill.
I find your views very racist and sincerely out of line.
How can you call that Flamebait? It's very true that we have no concrete proof that they're building a nuclear bomb. Don't believe what you're told by mainstream media it's mostly propaganda and lies. Remember old Rummy telling us they knew exactly where Iraqs WMD were? Wasn't it something like 'in the areas north, south, east and west of Tikrit somewhat'. I can't remember the precise words, but see how listening to statements like that and believing them lead us into a war we shouldn't be in. The same is happening here with Iran. I don't think it'll matter how many inspectors they let into their plants, or how much negotiating goes on - they'll always be considered enemies because they're Islamic and don't like America.
Sounds like Microsoft have a conflict of interest here and shouldn't be shouting out-loud about this. It just makes it seem as though they want to manipulate the marketplace for their own good. If Microsoft had won the bid, you wouldn't hear them saying "perhaps we shouldn't do this, it makes the market unfair" and dropping their takeover.
There's kinda the same issue with FreeBSD and wifi-drivers. However, last time I wanted to throw FBSD on a laptop, I installed the base system and then when it came to drivers for my Broadcom (puke) wireless PCMCIA card, there was a simple solution - ndiswrapper.
All I had to do was run ndisgen and follow the on screen instructions. Granted, I had to quit and copy the Windows DLL and INF files onto the machine and then run the ndisgen again, but it generated me a.KO for use kldload and the wireless worked flawlessly.
I know it's not the ideal situation - hardware manufacturers should be providing *nix drivers, or at least the documentation so that other communities/developers can do it for them. I'm sure it wouldn't harm their market share, in fact it might help it if all of us OpenSource nutters are dedicated to getting driver support for our hardware.

And then the reporter can re-tweet them? Surely if the reporter didn't write the tweet then they're not the ones breaking the rules?

i see what you did there :)
Its not exactly like they have cameras in their bedrooms.
I think they'e already started exactly that.... "CCTV cameras were installed, including in their bedroom. Social workers explained that the cameras were there to observe them performing their parental duties and for the protection of their baby." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/3507238/Social-services-set-up-CCTV-camera-in-couples-bedroom.html

my VLK copy doesn't. it's a Microsoft branded CD, not any OEM disk.
try the UK. patients who are denied expensive life saving treatment pop up in the news all the time.
this is why i play using a girls name ;) it's the tiny advantages that count :) that split second can give you the time to aim and shoot!

Then it's a pretty much self-solving problem then ;)
It'd be hard considering the European courts are forcing Microsoft to open up these protocols.
