the merged ntl/telewest brought vm mobile, aggressively, they had to pay more than they (and mr branson) wanted.. They then joined everything up and have licensed the virgin brand and branson himself.. Of course richard owns part of the new company and 'his' investment company also owns a lot.. But it's just a rented name.
Iirc from when the cabling issue has been raised locally, one problem is that the initial tv companys (which predate the opening of phones in some areas) initially had deals to allow them to cheaply cable, its now more expensive ( ie the council charges them more) , they also initially had local monopoly protection..
well thats a genius idea isn't it.. because obviously in 6 months when asked for the answers again, I'm obviously going to know the same made up answers.
Got the same questions last week, only the first set was usable , the second set, I think I could answer, though it depends on the mood which childhood friend I'd pick ( I moved and thats the only question I think has a memorable answer) and the 3rd , that was hopeless.
So, we all bleat about the rights and wrongs of various digital age laws, surely this is a good example of 'where was the evidence?'. Why were the police actually able seemingly to goto the kids address with it seems just the word of norwich saying "he dunnit"..
Re: "Charities" acting like business ... Am I the only one
No, they'll be getting commision on any they sign up.. They are unlikely to even be being paid min wage, they'll be "self employed".. Well that's what a lot are, the charities farm out the actual 'signing up' to different companies, probably to avoid the stigma of not paying people.
On the other hand, apparently the DD's do actually "work" in terms of getting cash in, so probably won't be stopping soon.
( friend has done similar, he was even out of pocket for the travel expenses, but hey, anything to keep the house :( )
will samsung have to remove their claims for 'decent 3d picture'. Can't stand those active screens, flicker like maad. So I definately take my cinema 3d , even with lower resolution..
Are any sources actually 1080p? The display from the sky box certainly isn't full resolution is it?
If people would read the article, the tweets were from 3rd january and 16th..
This wasn't like the ill advised Doncaster bloke who tweeted whilst in the airport... This was a week before they'd left... Or so it seems..
Now either you fill a form in saying what social media you have, *or* they automatically trawl for stuff... Though you have to say, this is lunacy in the extreme are they just bored in the DHS?
Mind you, scares the crap out of me, I'm hoping to go this year :(
well yes, when you plug the iphone into itunes for the first time, it has some warning about 'diagnostics and such' , so obviously you say 'nah'.
which is annoying, because those diagnostics appear to be the crash logs generated by apps... I'm guessing thats why whilst we have a few users complaining about crashing apps, we only have one uploaded crash report..
as for the android logging, has anyone shown it actually sending the info it logs , because it does just seem to be the adb logcat output..
that windows had loads of 'workarounds' to get things like word perfect to work, because they'd accessed hidden features ( rightly or wrongly , its always a dangerous thing to do). then let all that lead they had disappear by being more bothered about running to the lawyers instead of fixing bugs or rewriting code.
I'm sort of confused by the 'encouraged to use' then 'pulled' stuff.. Did everyone else have the same problem? It just seems like the usual issues that happen on the roll out of a new os, why was it seemingly only word perfect that had problems?
In fact as someone has already said, the pre-release are in m$ best interest to get software working, otherwise why would people buy windows?
err, no it isn't. It isn't surprising at all in any way shape or form..
Frankly it's surprising it isn't a bigger drop off... Perhaps if ofcom stopped this idiotic chasing of 'advertising' max rates and concentrated on contention ratio's there might be a change.
you'd have to have an employee at the other end sat waiting for any reports.
I don't get what the hassle is, the hassle should be if the apps on the devices aren't fit for purpose ( like the one mentioned where it requires a database connection at the time, that's obviously not fit for purpose)..
Seems like an interesting idea and even an iPad is a bit of a tiny splash compared to what it potentially COULD save...
with a name like guido fawkes, you'd have thought he was the last person to wish for capital punishment. However since he seems in favour of it, who are we to get in the way..
I'm assuming atheists can be priests and bishops? Start doing sermons about how god is an invention.
I don't think the anger is because of being anti xtian, its due to people who are brainwashed trying to stupify others outside of there normal areas. Whats even more insane about this sort of US evangelism is that even the Catholic Church recognises the real age of the earth and real history. Not only that, but the idea of the creation being a story was agreed and recognised by xtian leaders in something like the 5th century, its not only fact, but it's also gospel. So why is it that in the 21st century some people are waving their ignorance like a flag ?
@nigel, I thought there is , in the black sea, oh hang on that probably is the one from the Epic of Gilgamesh...
good grief, I really can't believe people are seeing this as some sort of amazing cry for freedom that they can call a dog an extremely offensive name. Is this the kindergarten?
As for 'british forget those yanks' , I believe what you mean to say is 'commonwealth and allies' ie RAF + canadian and new zealanders+ ?.
It's one thing to moan about 'americans taking our glory' but to then repeat the error ...
People were racist in the past, the film is not about casual racism and how bad it was, its about the bombing raid, the dog gets renamed.
Always remember reading a battered old 617 squadron book about the raid and later tallboy missions, the death rate on that raid is horrific , that's what we should be talking about , the stoic bravery, the political need for a victory... Hell ,even the crossword puzzles.. Not Nigger RIP..
the zx81, the owners of 'big expensive systems' have been explaining why its much better to use their servers and have thin clients than have your own computer..
I mean, seriously, do they think we'll ever fall for it?
the difference between 'they got 170 msieverts' and 'water of a dose of 6 or 7' is because of the different radiation, surely?
Their dose meters are worn and mainly detect gamma rays, they wouldn't see much of the beta-ray (electrons) that they got from allowing water into their boots. So the discrepancy isn't that unexpected is it?
Beta gets stopped by the tiniest of things, but they won't be well off if they got any of that water into their bloodstream, though again, surely only a tiny fraction would get into the bloodstream? I guess you'd compare with a blacksmith putting his hand on some hot iron ? external burns, but should be non-life threatening.
tepco have given out lots of information, what they haven't done is given it out in technical form but watered down for journalists. I suspect other reasons they haven't said wether things like 'what the real damage is to the core' is , because it's an extremely damaged nuclear reactor in the middle of a disaster zone that has massive amounts of radiation near it...
dont read too much into the 'nuclear vessel' moving away.
if it's low level sensors were going off due to external source, then it probably has to move to another area , otherwise it won't be able to tell if the issue was local.
One of the 'good things' is that the gases are going offshore rather than towards populated areas.
glad the LEO has got a mention, I loved learning about that back in 'o level computer studies' , how amazingly forward thinking of the company , the fact they were 'a tea room' which felt so 'archaic' but they had grabbed the modern age by not only buying ,but creating computers is such an amazing yet hardly talked about story.
well actually, thats why a lot of this trademark stuff goes on, because Hoover DID lose a lot of rights by not protecting its name (or maybe not protecting it well enough) when people used to use the term generically, .. It's now a 'generic trademark' ( according to wiki)
others are aspirin , heroin and lino ( however that's spelt).
And as for '.exe' shop, I'm guessing this is from the 'nothing was invented before steve' school of thought, application is the generic term and predates things like .com or .exe or .app or .bat or (etc). You would typically have system software and application software.
apparently unilever at one point agreed to 'part of the 23million' , they apparently sold licenses for flat fees without any royalties, they changed their minds in 2004 and said '23million isnt a lot of money for a multinational so you dont get anything' which is why i guess the lawyers hit back with 'well if you'd done your job, you'd have had money'.
unilever seem also to have decided that actually since it was a subsiduary, that the subsiduary made nothing.. but the judge threw that out..
what a waste of time and effort, pay up and stop paying lawyers, I guess its about setting a precedent, but do you really want to set the precedent that 'never help or work for unilever' for uber-talented inventors ?
'works fine' ,, well it did , till I saw what it should look like... I'd say it was a texture space/memory problem.. Tbh the phone is more than capable so I don't understand why they don't have a 'lower memory footprint' version........ I'll sort it for them if they want :)
Which is nice, since a lot of insurance companies at least claim they use this technology now. They certainly were using it on a tv show which concentrated on the 'fake accident' makers. Even showed us how the voice changed when lying...
Heaven forbid it was just another way for insurers to refuse a claim...
It's outrageous infringement of the civil liberties of the utter nutcases who decide to scream down bus lanes passing stationary traffic just to cut in at the next junction or park on double yellow lines making a two lane road into one ( just to get a paper or whatever) or heaven forbid those 30minute phone conversations that commuting shouldnt get in the way of ( obviously so important that hands free just doesnt cut it). Yes , terrible infringement..
Obviously these people have much more important jobs than everyone else including the pedestrians , cyclists and other car/wagon/van drivers who have to get out of their way when they barge back into traffic or swing suddenly down a side road.
tbh I'd have thought motorcyclists would have thanked the council for trying to clamp down on the idiots. The irony being, you know if you can't actually see those things, then you know maybe you're not paying enough attention to the driving?
These are patents from big companies(in some cases), bought ( due to going bust ?) by trolls , who then threaten big companies after the fact ( i mean for crying out loud, E71 is named in this case) who find it easier to pay up.
Which means they then go for the next company.
The trolls have not done any R&D , well I supposed except for some patent-lawyer-research.
Theres probably no risk either, because it isn't like they're a big manufactoring company who has something to lose in a court case.
As a coder with lots of lower level skills I can't get anywhere near any of these 'plush jobs' because recruiters see no value in c or c++ and want Java or this years flavour of the month 'script' language ;)..
I get the charger for the house . Then what do I do for work when I want to make sure my smartphone is fully charged? I mean obviously I just let it charge through the usb port.
Oh hang on, I can do that at home as well?
I really really don't understand why these devices exist . Yes it's insane that chargers don't have a standard, but fix that rather than come up with wierd non-solutions. Lets face it , more and more devices have usb connectors which they can charge through ( though not all depressingly).
In fact, does this charge anything other than devices that take the various usb connectors(+nokia but which nokia?) ?
90 quid device, replacable by a 1 quid wire.... err you know, I'll pass :)
if the description is correct. Its a tool for the source code, not the 'machine code'. It just marks out what function calls need to change and what to change em to.
Which is what you'd want, not a low level 'change this instruction to this'..
Of course, with some developer setups, you'd have a cross platform codeset anyway.. (with as little obj-c in it as possible ;) )..
I worked with a writer of one/some of those games, or at least he part owned the company and did some of the work. He had a large personal debt due to the company having gone bust (and the other guy having done a runner). Took him a while to pay it back . Nice to see people 'thanking him' for this work by advocating free downloads. Oh well , never changes.
a bbc program mainly about the ''faked rear end accidents' issue.
On that, they spoke about people stealing from cars during the night, but leaving one of the devices on so that people think they've locked their cars , but actually haven't. They showed a woman who'd been very suspicious as she kept coming back to the car unlocked after thinking 'i'm sure i pipped it' when she spoke to neighbours, they'd been robbed with the same 'but I was sure I locked it'
Basically , CHECK it's actually locked by pulling on the handle if you're not sure...
iirc, it's some gps jammers that are legitimately sold in other countries, but can be bought on ebay for peanuts that can work...
Last I read was that 3 didn't have enough QA to sort out iphone 4 and Desire release. So after kicking a few builds back to HTC, they HAVE finished the 2.1 release, but it's now 'at google'..
And they 'dont know' how long it will be before the release comes out...
when stuck in san diego due to work commitments ( GET THE PROJECT FINISH FOR GODS SAKE).. I was terrified that I might be stuck with the choice of Bud or Bud Light.
But , not only was there a bar where one could get Pilsner Urqel ( amongst 400 different beers, 100 on draft!!!!). There was also an amazing choice of 'locally' and not so local American beers. I'd especially recommend the Karl Strauss selection for one ( or err more ;) ).....

grrreat..
what filippo said...
was about to post roughly the same..
Looked only slightly more believable than the multiple 'enjoy wow beta' ones which arrive.. The not correct url was the most dodgy part..
Still, I logged in and changed the password... Using a typed in url of course...
evidence not required?
So, we all bleat about the rights and wrongs of various digital age laws, surely this is a good example of 'where was the evidence?'. Why were the police actually able seemingly to goto the kids address with it seems just the word of norwich saying "he dunnit"..
look brilliant, but
it's ios5 only and I'll have to upgrade my ipod :(
Speedtest
Yeah, really amazing.. So compare with my htc hero on 3 which just got 112ms , 4029down, 1628 up... (2nd was 118/4683/1504)..
So, not too impressed by that( I know its the networks),, mind you I wasn't going to bother with the "phone" version, just stick with the wifi...

theres a reason peoples phones used to do this
isn't it from the mac this patent?
Does this mean normally it's cross licensed ?
'iphones ask'
well yes, when you plug the iphone into itunes for the first time, it has some warning about 'diagnostics and such' , so obviously you say 'nah'.
which is annoying, because those diagnostics appear to be the crash logs generated by apps... I'm guessing thats why whilst we have a few users complaining about crashing apps, we only have one uploaded crash report..

If I wanted stuff like this
I'd pop by the Daily Mail ?
No offence, but little englanders belong in the last century.
Well I learned something..
hang on , you mean up till now Iphones weren't HDPSA ? ?
what good is a cb radio?
you'd have to have an employee at the other end sat waiting for any reports.

'guido'
Erm,
with a name like guido fawkes, you'd have thought he was the last person to wish for capital punishment. However since he seems in favour of it, who are we to get in the way..
isnt this bloomin obvious
Due to the way adsl works and the drop off?
Unless they actually can change the laws of physics?
should fight back
I'm assuming atheists can be priests and bishops? Start doing sermons about how god is an invention.

I think before i got my first computer
the zx81, the owners of 'big expensive systems' have been explaining why its much better to use their servers and have thin clients than have your own computer..
I mean, seriously, do they think we'll ever fall for it?
how rediculous, intel making ARM chips
err without calling them by the name they used to have strongArm (via a lawsuit) and XScale..
Can't see ARM merging with AMD, why would they? AMD are now fabless so they don't gain a fab, amd just license an ARM design like everyone else...
why f18?
On the bbc website to accompany a story about US bombing on Libyan targets they showed an interesting aircraft, think it's called an AV8-B.
Why don't we buy those instead?
Not even funny is it the ludicrous lack of joined up thinking..
doses
the difference between 'they got 170 msieverts' and 'water of a dose of 6 or 7' is because of the different radiation, surely?

if it's low level sensors were going off due to external source, then it probably has to move to another area , otherwise it won't be able to tell if the issue was local.
One of the 'good things' is that the gases are going offshore rather than towards populated areas.
the stuff they dropped off
whilst it might have been water, it's also been reported that they supplied extra batteries. which sort of makes more sense.
hmm this water...
might be DDW or water with the deuterium removed. . so the talk about shipping water might not sound so daft.
the leo
glad the LEO has got a mention, I loved learning about that back in 'o level computer studies' , how amazingly forward thinking of the company , the fact they were 'a tea room' which felt so 'archaic' but they had grabbed the modern age by not only buying ,but creating computers is such an amazing yet hardly talked about story.
re hoover.

not the best magazine to choose
but how much do second hand copies of Which go for?
I suppose a better 'example' would be 'yesturdays copy of the daily mail'..
Seems a wierd thing to talk about?
grumble
guess who upgraded his smartphone a month before the 'one' deal came out ?
bah, 18months left on that one :(... still I don't go over the 500mb anyway, so I dont care :)
more notes in todays guardian.
apparently unilever at one point agreed to 'part of the 23million' , they apparently sold licenses for flat fees without any royalties, they changed their minds in 2004 and said '23million isnt a lot of money for a multinational so you dont get anything' which is why i guess the lawyers hit back with 'well if you'd done your job, you'd have had money'.
unilever seem also to have decided that actually since it was a subsiduary, that the subsiduary made nothing.. but the judge threw that out..
what a waste of time and effort, pay up and stop paying lawyers, I guess its about setting a precedent, but do you really want to set the precedent that 'never help or work for unilever' for uber-talented inventors ?
*more* hero
'works fine' ,, well it did , till I saw what it should look like... I'd say it was a texture space/memory problem.. Tbh the phone is more than capable so I don't understand why they don't have a 'lower memory footprint' version........ I'll sort it for them if they want :)
'why were they looking'
in general its the competitor channels who complain.
at least that was the answer I found when I read on the net (ofcom ruling) about a channel showing 'a little bit too much flesh' at about 2am.
doesnt work?
Which is nice, since a lot of insurance companies at least claim they use this technology now. They certainly were using it on a tv show which concentrated on the 'fake accident' makers. Even showed us how the voice changed when lying...
Heaven forbid it was just another way for insurers to refuse a claim...
some in manchester as well.
It's outrageous infringement of the civil liberties of the utter nutcases who decide to scream down bus lanes passing stationary traffic just to cut in at the next junction or park on double yellow lines making a two lane road into one ( just to get a paper or whatever) or heaven forbid those 30minute phone conversations that commuting shouldnt get in the way of ( obviously so important that hands free just doesnt cut it). Yes , terrible infringement..
Obviously these people have much more important jobs than everyone else including the pedestrians , cyclists and other car/wagon/van drivers who have to get out of their way when they barge back into traffic or swing suddenly down a side road.
tbh I'd have thought motorcyclists would have thanked the council for trying to clamp down on the idiots. The irony being, you know if you can't actually see those things, then you know maybe you're not paying enough attention to the driving?
These arent little companies
These are patents from big companies(in some cases), bought ( due to going bust ?) by trolls , who then threaten big companies after the fact ( i mean for crying out loud, E71 is named in this case) who find it easier to pay up.
Which means they then go for the next company.
The trolls have not done any R&D , well I supposed except for some patent-lawyer-research.
Theres probably no risk either, because it isn't like they're a big manufactoring company who has something to lose in a court case.
and yet
As a coder with lots of lower level skills I can't get anywhere near any of these 'plush jobs' because recruiters see no value in c or c++ and want Java or this years flavour of the month 'script' language ;)..
Oh well, back to flash and facebook...
I blame recruiters ;)
fool and his money?
So,
I get the charger for the house . Then what do I do for work when I want to make sure my smartphone is fully charged? I mean obviously I just let it charge through the usb port.
Oh hang on, I can do that at home as well?
I really really don't understand why these devices exist . Yes it's insane that chargers don't have a standard, but fix that rather than come up with wierd non-solutions. Lets face it , more and more devices have usb connectors which they can charge through ( though not all depressingly).
In fact, does this charge anything other than devices that take the various usb connectors(+nokia but which nokia?) ?
90 quid device, replacable by a 1 quid wire.... err you know, I'll pass :)
( and I bet the wire is more energy efficient!)
probably explains
why all the game mechanics involve getting friends , the more the merrier involved with the game. Oh of course 'we didnt know' , yeah, right...
hang on , this isnt an arm to x86 tool at all
if the description is correct. Its a tool for the source code, not the 'machine code'. It just marks out what function calls need to change and what to change em to.
Which is what you'd want, not a low level 'change this instruction to this'..
Of course, with some developer setups, you'd have a cross platform codeset anyway.. (with as little obj-c in it as possible ;) )..
way back when
I worked with a writer of one/some of those games, or at least he part owned the company and did some of the work. He had a large personal debt due to the company having gone bust (and the other guy having done a runner). Took him a while to pay it back . Nice to see people 'thanking him' for this work by advocating free downloads. Oh well , never changes.

iirc, it's some gps jammers that are legitimately sold in other countries, but can be bought on ebay for peanuts that can work...

Then smacked them across the head for swearing ..

Last I read was that 3 didn't have enough QA to sort out iphone 4 and Desire release. So after kicking a few builds back to HTC, they HAVE finished the 2.1 release, but it's now 'at google'..

But , not only was there a bar where one could get Pilsner Urqel ( amongst 400 different beers, 100 on draft!!!!). There was also an amazing choice of 'locally' and not so local American beers. I'd especially recommend the Karl Strauss selection for one ( or err more ;) ).....
