Come to the UK.. I have unlimited data + around 6 hours of free calls + more MMS and SMS messages than I've sent in my life available each month for $50/month - but that price includes the cost of the G1 handset.
The BBC iPlayer app alone makes the data plan essential;)
Is it really equitable that A has to keep working 60 hour weeks to support B in their lazy life of luxury?
If I were A I would quit my job with immediate effect, demand custody of the child and refuse to pay B a penny. But I'm a bloke and fed up with the incredibly sexist "family" court decisions.
They published the material in book form in the UK.
I don't think any countries would allow a defense of 'but I used the internet to do it in so the laws here don't count' when the person hasn't even left the country.
Try using Iranian servers from Chicago to post/publish an in-depth plan on how to kill Obama on the internet and see how long it takes the US Secret Service to pop by for a quiet chat..
They were published from the UK to servers in the US.
The leaflets/pamphlets weren't exactly being handed out in LA either...
It's not as though US citizens were extradited to the UK despite having committed no US crimes or committed crimes while in the territories of the UK. Shame for Gary McKimmon that the US authorities aren't similarly restrained.
Count this one as censorship. They were found guilty of 'inciting racial hatred'.
That doesn't mean it's illegal to hate someone because of their racial heritage (i.e. thoughtcrime) it's illegal to incite such hatred in others.
Still right on the edge of suppression of free speech, and without knowing exactly what these guys printed/posted I'm not sure whether this is something I need to be concerned about or not.
I would switch away from Windows tomorrow if there was an alternative that ran the software I have installed on my PC.
It's not a trite argument, I'm not ignorant and far from being malicious I'd hope I'm being objective.
Reality is that there is a lot of software out there that only runs on a variant of MS Windows. To stop using Windows, people would have to stop using that software.
Is this the British army of 12000 with 3000 mile supply lines, against the US army of 20000 (13-17000 active) fighting in its own territory?
Or are you including the Germans, the 'Loyalists' and the other people helping out, who numbered around 90000? If so, I'd like to bring in the US Militia, which numbered 230000.
So that's 25000 on the US side, with short supply lines, against 102000, with excessively long supply lines, from a nation fighting three major European powers at the time.
The Americans had the advantage in numbers, and won for a large number of reasons, the tactics being merely one of them.
So its hard to compare what is or isn't happening in Iran to what happened in the Warsaw Pact states, they are not cultural melting pots.
That'll be why Czechoslovakia is now.. how many different countries?
Oh, and Yugoslavia. Or are you too young to remember that name - it doesn't exist any more.
Maybe you've heard of the USSR. Frankly I've lost count of how many different countries that's become!
Even Hungary is culturally diverse, Poland never used to be where it is now and Albania's constantly fighting to stay afloat as a nation.
The Warsaw Pact countries were pretty clearly cultural melting pots. They've also dealt with that in a variety of ways, often involving separation, sometimes violently.
As opposed to paranoia and fear? I'd rather have the occasional child brutally abused and murdered than an entire generation of people scared to leave the house without big brother watching.
One is bad for the individual, the other kills the whole society.
Sorry, going off-topic here.. You actually pro-actively pay your ISP on a monthly basis? Instead of, I don't know, setting up an automated periodic electronic payment for the correct amount?
There is a requirement that people be fingerprinted. That their prints don't take, that they don't have hands, etc. don't matter. The requirement for printing exists.
He gave his fingerprints. They didn't take. It pretty fucking clearly did matter because they held him for four hours.
It's a shitty way to treat people visiting your country. Land of the free? Oh how we laughed.

Which part of "sole provider" and "monopoly" did you choose to ignore?
Karoo are the only ISP in Hull.
Hull is not in fucking London.

When I think Linux distro I think Slackware or Yggdrasil. Hell, I still have a CD with Yggdrasil on it.
KDE and Gnome are pretty new additions to the world of linux distros.
Indeed, my 1.9 litre diesel will do 135mph uphill.
I can believe that adding another 20-30mph is rather harder than the first 130 though.
Actually he's pretty indicative of the average Porsche driver.
Also, for working out. There is NO excuse not to
15 hour days at work, 8 hours sleep, you want him to spend his one spare hour working out?
Me, I think he's got a pretty solid excuse to spend a little time relaxing, having fun, maybe even actually eating breakfast / dinner.
Personally I have several excuses for not working out. One of them is laziness. Another is boredom. Dying young is more interesting.

Bugger. Missed a 0. 250000 vs 102000.
Bah.

The biggest fucking irony being that Iran is not an Arab nation.
So its hard to compare what is or isn't happening in Iran to what happened in the Warsaw Pact states, they are not cultural melting pots.

How's Iran going to progress?
Technically, unless there's a very lopsided society, women, jews, baha'is, christians, atheists and homosexuals will be the majority.
Hell, women alone are 49.5% of the population, add in the 2.5% (or so) blokes that are gay and there's a majority even without the religious outcasts.
Of course, it's the other 40+% that have the guns..
Of course, if you're there to learn IT then you need to learn Linux..

I'm finding myself confused and bewildered.
Sadly I recall only too well the 15 minute compilation times using Borland Pascal 7 on a 386 that stopped me getting any useful work done.
The Turbo compilers were fast, the debugger was excellent, but for any significant code-base a full recompile was far from 'fast'.

Or maybe we come from countries where only criminals are fingerprinted.
I'm not a criminal. Don't try and treat me like one.
America doesn't welcome visitors, so I don't visit. Fuck you and your parochial small-minded self-obsessed nation.
I must be fucking weird. I drive tens of thousands of miles and haven't yet had anybody spin out in front of me making me swerve.
Even in snow/ice..
Sadly it's actually quite bad as a phone.
This _is_ an electronic transfer.
