Not possible if you are in the UK. All providers cap the data (and charge e.g. £2 per megabyte if you go over, usually about 1GB a month). T-mobile is an exception in that they will throttle rather than charge when you exceed your limit.
Tom: Listen to this one: you open a company called the "Arse Tickler's Faggots Fan Club".
Soap: You what?
Tom: You take out an advert in the back page of some gay mag, advertising the latest in arse-intruding dildos. You sell it with, I dunno, "does what no other dildo can do until now", "the latest and greatest in sexual technology", "guaranteed results or your money back", all that bollocks. Now these dils cost twenty-five quid a pop - that's a snip for the amount of pleasure they're gonna give the recipients. But they send their cheques to the other company name, nothing offensive, er, "Bobbie's Bits" or something, for twenty-five quid. You take that twenty-five quid, you stick it in the bank until it clears. Now, this is the smart bit - you send back the cheque for twenty-five pound from the other company name, "Arse Tickler's Faggots Fan Club", saying we're sorry, we couldn't get the supplies from America because they ran out of stock. Now you see how many people cash that cheque - not a single soul, because who wants their bank manager to know they tickle arse when they're not paying cheques?
Bacon: So how long do you have to wait until you see a return?
Tom: Probably no more than four weeks.
Bacon: A month? So, what fucking good is that if we need it in six - no, five days?
The Mac OSX quakelive client is seriously broken. It gets about 80 fps on my i7 Macbook pro and plays like a dog. On the other hand, booting my MBP into Win 7 and running Quakelive there makes it run like a dream, solid 125fps and smooth as butter.
I don't know if the recently mentioned patch by apple/nvidia will resolve this problem or what.
no different than most other face book users.. Except replace 'national identity' with 'personal identity' and 'governments hostile' with '3rd party organisation that has agendas other than making it easy for you to post pics of fluffy bunnies and Like This'
Sounds like a scam to me - Congratulations you are the 5,000,000th person to connect to the internet. Click here to have you computer infested with malware and your email in box filled with shite.
During my time in highscool we covered a number of topics, fundamental to computing. Binary arthmetic, operating systems, hardware and cpus. We used both windows and macintosh systems (Mac classics, and later LCs), and we coded programs on BBC micro computers (the people on macs used an emulator).
The was a great CPU simulator programs on the BBCs and you could step through machine code. We had to write a small assembly program to add some numbers or similar. Of course we also had the office apps lessons with database/spreadsheet/wordproc stuff, mostly using clarisworks.
We also had atari sts in Art and Music departments, and the maths department had BBC micros for things like graphing and simulations on occassion.
This was all during the 90's, even my primary school in the 80's had a BBC A and B for things like Funschool etc..
In a few more years, it'll be possible to build a wireless "alternet". A new internet with it's own DNS stack separate from the internet and the eyes of Big Brother. Except by capturing the signals and decrypting them. Technically a wireless alternet is feasible now. I have several wireless routers in my neighborhood. We could form our own network, and they can probably see a few routers I can't see further out and could connect with them. The question is: is there enough density now, that we could grow that out city-wide, county-wide, state-wide, country-wide, worldwide(how)? Certainly is major cities this is feasible. This will happen if the powers that be don't relent. If you make the internet illegal only the criminals will have internet, and almost everyone will be a criminal. The technology is out there. People have a real need to b e connected to the internet now. Take it away and they'll find new way.
I've always thought this would be an excellent thing. How does one go about setting this kind of thing up? I guess it could be kind of like the BBS days.
I don't even know where to start. The whole news item is full of holes. Basically a load of bollocks. The whole concept is ridiculous, it's like that H20 hydrogen dioxide website. The language is so slanted ' luring kids' etc. oh dear. I seriously beleive If I lived in the states I could not watch american TV. It's just so absurd, and sensationalist, along with outright propaganda and annoying pronunciation of words. GRRRRRR Agh it makes me angry. How can people be so fucking thick.
Apple always seems to 'take ages' to implement stuff. This applies in hardware, software, services etc. The upshot is that when they do it's usually implemented properly, in a nice easy to use way, with a shiny interface layer on top. Look at Ipod. When they firstbrought it out people said it was lame and it had less space than current competing mp3 players. But what they did have was solid. And there wasn't even an itunes store at that point. A few revisions later and they dominate the mp3 player space. iPad will be the same. Look at some of there software offereings and it's the same story.
Can someone explain to me what this is about... The picture in the article looks pretty amazing, wow using these non square shaped pixels sure makes the face look clearer, but on closer inspection, it's made up of square pixels which are in fact smaller than the pixels on the left image. Look at the top left of the picture for example.
I'm sure if the picture on the left was resized to match the pixel density on the left it would look just as good..

This. I don't get why is hasn't happened already. Is Gnome+kde just too big?
Fuck everything, we're doing 1 big blade. (or maybe 2 when in the open setting - shhh don't complicate things)

Ignoring, all the cliches and some 'dodgy' animation / graphics (1080 version is the one to watch), this is what got me the most.
Other than that, was great story and the sad ending was good.
Nice.
Generally in the US HFCS is used in carbonated drinks? Is sugar sweetened fizzy drinks widely available also?
Is it generally considered that HFCS Coke tastes better than Sugar Coke?
Where can I get some HFCS Coke, being that I'm based in the UK and don't know anyone in the US?
but then where do you hide the IR repeater?
+1 informative. Was going to post those same links.
thanks for the pointer -- looks interesting, along with his other 'adult' stories : http://www.greenmanreview.com/book/book_dahl_bestof.html

ENHANCE!
yeaaaaaah!

America has one of the cheapest fuel prices in the world. Stop complaining. it's about 6-7$ a gallon here.

Might work, but as other posters mentioned things like the mountains may be the reason for the signal loss rather than the amount of power.

It's not a web page it's a DOS program, hence the ask slashdot....
