Re: Giffgaff

I tried Giffgaff whilst moving house - waste of £10. Voadafone was better not by much though

I never understood why we (the UK) spent a fortune moving to terrestrial digital anyway. We should have used the money to give everyone either cable or satellite.

M$ is very late in getting into the smartphone market, and M$ are not even putting in any effort & with computer getting cheaper and cheap (how long before you get one free with The Sunday Times?) they are missing the boat.

Why not secure the hosts (as the police / authorities would make a burgled house safe, then bill the owner) by adding an anti-virus / bot software on the host.

'not for profit' company

As Openreach has a monopoly in most of the UK, it should be for a non-profit making organisation. This should be the case for any monopoly companies as the consumer is not able to go any where else.

Windows is so floored that any PC that has information on it that is likely to be of use to the enemy should not use windows.

If BOFH's encryped everything they (we) woul dget a way with the sort of thing, and it not difficult.

Sounds like a bad library as my local library allows 6 out for 6 weeks.

Looks like the US's six main publishing houses are operating a cartel to the determent of the general public.

A million buck is only 635,645.07 GBP not even enough to retire on. Offer him £100M now that is a good amount and is only pocket money for Google.

I like my task bar

I used 11.04 for a while and then I realised what was wrong with it, NO TASK BAR. There is no way of easily using the mouse to switch between programs. The keyboard has to be used all the time. No use on my netbook and big screen TV

USB ports shuld be closed

This is the problem in M$ leaving USB ports open when machines / software are sold. If the the port are switch off at POS then a Sysops would have to switch them on.

Not providing internet service

Sounds like they are not providing an internet service. Part of the internet is using the likes of youtube and other streaming media. If AT&T can not do that then they are not providing full internet access.

Funny how it just Motorola

May be it's the Motorola phones that are the problem. Samsung says the Galaxy Tab returns rate is 'below 2 percent. What are the return rates for other manufactures of mobile phones / tablets?

Doesn't deserve 50% let alone 75%

'If you’re hoping for media playback from the USB ports, you’ll be disappointed'. No media playback on the USB ports makes this already dated.

Also i wonder how big the mute button is on the remote - they make one of the most used buttons one of the smallest.

If we can't make faster than light drives, generational or sleeper ships are going to be the only way the human race will be able to visit other systems. So this seems to be the first sensible idea. And yes I want to go.

OVI = Rubbish

Just using (OVI which I think is rubbish) you'd miss Calcium for a better calulator; Opera Widgets games and apps.; Mobile Gmail; google maps; Internet radio. I wish I could get rid of some of the bloat-ware that is hoisted on us by Nokia.

VM boxes are bigger

The VM boxes we have around my area are a lot bigger than that. Though I don't like the way they put them in the path when there is a verge to put them on.

Paris: because she likes big ones

So as soon as everything goes encrypted no one will be able to read the information other than the recipient, the record labels and MI5 will really be stuffed then.
