Would love to follow you, but "Infinity" is how long I'll have to wait before fibre is installed in my town.
How to be a Politician...

The "Evolution Kit" is a smartphone-sized box that clips into a socket on the back of the TV.

Re: Surely T&Cs cover this ?
Of course, this assumes the candidate _has_ accounts with said marketing ^H^H^H social networking orgs.
I don't, so I would obviously not get the job because I won't hand over passwords to said non-existent accounts.
Dear Liz,
Skip over this bit, will you?

Anonymous should leave the Norks alone...

MI5 & GCHQ?
Only there to threaten the others into installing back doors in their systems for "official" use only.
"Should custom Android keyboards even be allowed?"
I find that with a rooted Xoom 1 running JB 4.2.2, a custom keyboard like (genuine) Swiftkey is NECESSARY!
This is because the stock keyboard closes itself after EVERY keypress.
Ruling overturned by SCOTUS in 3...2...1...
Because "Government of the People, by the Priveliged, for the Corporate."
"Starfleet commanders used portable flip-phone style transceivers."
Which is where the designers of the first flip-phone, the Motorola StarTAC say they got their inspiration.
PS: ALL Starfleet personnel used communicators, not just Commanders & above.

Re: Most excellent
70 limit came in in 1965 after Carroll Shelby was reported to reach 198mph on the M1.
Before then, the white circle with a black diagonal line meant "End of Speed Limit".
Re: @ Anonymous IV
Why not? They always have before.
Windows ME & Vista spring readily to mind.

But none of actual console it seems.
Re: What a surprise
Actually, MS certification requirements state that the Secure Boot off-switch is required on x86 devices and PROHIBITED on ARM devices (like the Surface).
@dz-015
Agreed.
As Confucious never said:- "Once the avalanche has begun, it is too late for the mountain to vote."
But who...

Re: Wrong legislation wording
Better yet: If the answer is no, then the litigant pays double the defendant's cost and the patent is awarded to the defendant because they obviously _do_ produce technology that the patent covers.

"The Tories and Labour are cut from the same cloth"
The problem is neither the Tories nor Labour. The actual problem is the un-elected (un)civil servants pushing this along.
"Yes, Prime Minister" was a docudrama, not a sitcom!
ACTA == Hydra
Chop off one head and two more grow in its place.
"require CSPs to retain web logs up to the first "/"."
So the CSPs will have to retain logs that contain "http:/" and "https:/"?
I think I'll be OK with that.
Re: Pot calling the kettle black?

On the upside, standardization would also allow for a single method of bypassing DPI.

Re: Handy Tip
If you have dual boot and need to install Windows you need to install to a separate drive which is not your normal boot drive (unless you don't mind re-installing your bootloader)
Not necessary. Just install Windows _first_, then use your Linux LiveCD to resize/repartition the drive & then install.
They've found the best way to kickstart manned exploration missions...

I feel a great disturbance in The Force...
As if "Jar Jar - the Musical" was coming soon.
That would be "Contempt of Court"
Which translates as:-
Go to jail.
Go directly to jail.
Do not pass go.
Do not collect $200.
Stay there until the judge decides you're sorry.
