As a Brit who lives in France I'm quite pleased about this proposal.
The cost of mobile tariffs in the UK is considerably less than in France but if I used a UK SIM card in France it would cost me more than having a French SIM.
If the UK operators had to charge me the same price to use my UK SIM card in France then I'd just get a UK SIM card and save money.
BTW, I'm not talking about international calls, I'm aware that these would still be expensive.
This isn't stackoverflow you know, there is no requirement to 'answer the question' asked in the post you reply to, just that you have something interesting and preferably on topic.
This post is obviously off-topic but I'm hoping if you learn a bit about slashdot from it then at least it helped someone.
I'm imagining a system where the drone's position isn't controlled by the driver/tablet app but instead it automatically stays directly above the car. The drone would have a 360deg camera underneath and the tablet app would just control the panning.
The speed of the car would also be automatically limited while the drone is in the air so that the car can't get ahead of the drone, you probably wouldn't be able to launch the drone while moving anyway.
I always assumed that when Americans called people an ass they meant the person was a donkey and when the rest of the world called people an Arse they were referring the the derriere.
Initially The KLF's earnings were to be distributed by way of a fund for struggling artists managed by the K Foundation, Drummond and Cauty's new post-KLF art project, but, said Drummond, "We realised that struggling artists are meant to struggle, that's the whole point."[11] Instead the duo decided to create art with the money.
Bittorrent would solve the multiple back-up issue as long as the torrent was popular enough but it wouldn't solve the upload/download speed problem (for multi-GB torrents/files where your local bandwidth is the bottleneck).
The problem is that you have to trust everyone connected to the torrent not to allow an outside party to connect and gather the IPs of everyone sharing the torrent. Don't forget that the main advantage of this plan, multiple back-ups, only works with a large number of participants in the torrent which raises the exposure...
I can only see this working if it reaches critical mass, otherwise the early adopters face some pretty serious investigation...
We have curbside municipal recycling containers at the bottom of every road (or every 150m-300m or so), in suburban areas, instead of picking rubbish up from your house.
Where I live in France we don't have rubbish collected from our house, instead we have 3 types of bins that are buried in the ground in a convenient place, usually within 50m or so of your house (isolated properties, businesses in commercial areas and people who are happy to pay are common exceptions). This means we cut down on the emissions of the refuse collection vehicles (for want of a better, internationally recognisable word) because they spend a lot less time idling, waiting for bins to be loaded at every other house.
The three bins are for:
1. All plastics and metals
2. Cardboard/paper
3. 'General' refuse
Everything in bin 1 is sorted at the recycling centre and recycled where appropriate*.
Everything in bin 2 is recycled in theory, although I wouldn't be surprised if some of it is incinerated.
Everything in bin 3 is mostly land-fill or incinerated if possible.
* As far as sorting goes I believe it works roughly like this:
a. Everything is shredded and then washed. During the washing process the plastic floats and is skimmed off.
b. The metal is sorted into ferrous/non-ferrous using magnets.
c. Plastics are ground down into smaller particles and then sorted, granule by granule, using x-ray or infra-red sensing. Plastics that fail testing and/or aren't a recyclable resin type are incinerated.
Would it be white, grey or black hat hacking to gain access to the bug reporting system and escalated the bug report so that someone actually actioned it?
After all, if you can get Zuckerberg access to Facebook you could probably fix a few things for them...
They have often had the site compromised by viruses and malware. Regularly accepting advertisements from places that have literally nothing but trojan horses, scam anti-virus, and other malware.
Citation needed! Not saying you're wrong, just that it's news to me and I'd like to know more about it.
It's tough to say "look at the free exposure that Game of Thrones gets on the TPB" when literally everyone has heard of the show.
When you make comments about TPB please remember it's an INTERNATIONAL website for people ALL OVER THE WORLD!!! If CBS (and the rest) want to go by their out-dated business model that relies on the control of media internationally then they're always going to be flogging a dead horse. News spreads about TV series and movies across the globe more quickly than they are prepared to release it which is their mistake and will cost them.
Surely having longer limbs than your average sprinter gives him higher gearing so 'running out of leg speed' is less of a problem for him than his competitors.
It depends on what stars the restaurant has, to some extent, but more importantly what people are willing to pay.
If I want to spend €150+ per head I can eat at a two Michelin star restaurant*. The difference between that and a 'three star' restaurant depends mostly on interpretation of the 'stars' and demand/availability in that location.
don't lose sight of the fact that the US adds massive value to the global economy
Given current political alliances you're right of course but then again maybe this will be the straw that breaks the camels back and makes the rest of the world look into other options?
At the end of the day you don't want to piss off the rest of the world if you rely onimports.
As a Brit living in France I've never had problems being understood by other English speakers from all over the world, including Ozzies, Kiwis, Saffas and Sepos, not to mention people who speak English as a second language such as the Scandis.
Having said that, I don't speak English with a dialect, I speak English the way it's supposed to be spoken

I already posted this link above but unfortunately experienced climbers do camp in avalanche prone areas, sometimes by misjudging the risk or sometimes by necessity.
These days yes, if you're in a good sleeping bag, 50 years ago? I'm not sure but maybe.
This reminds me of an incident last year where Glen Plake survived an avalanche that hit their camp and was running around in the snow for 10 minutes before he realised he was barefoot.

I wonder how long before 'athletes' are using this?

It's tough to say "look at the free exposure that Game of Thrones gets on the TPB" when literally everyone has heard of the show.
I'd never heard of Under The Dome until yesterday when I heard about CBS's SNAFU, but then I'm not living in the USA.

Strictly speaking mutton refers to older sheep (less tender), lamb always applies sheep under 12 months:
