Re: And this from the hypocrites at the ASA who don't know what "unlimited" means
Well of course that would be nice.... rather than just getting rid of the quango because you don't believe in regulation like Cameron and not replacing it with anything because this cuts red tape that affects British Business competitive edge (or some such similar bullshit)
Re: And this from the hypocrites at the ASA who don't know what "unlimited" means
Great idea, things will be so much better without it.

Re: Argos catalogue is a great example of something that should be archived
I order stuff from Argos pretty regularly, I do tend to read the reviews first on the website though and if its good leave feedback. What website are you talking about?
Kids these days...
When I was small child we limited ourselves to red smoke bombs ( joke shop ones) in the air intakes for the local swimming pool and inventive things to do with British Rail emergency track signals ( you will only hold onto them while trying to lever the lead strap off once)

Re: ah, schoolday 'pranks'
Dont forget filling the science class tap nozzles with tissue paper then putting them on full over a sink with a wooden lid and a hole, under the hole in sink would be a petri dish with a bit of reactive metal like sodium.
wooden sink lid goes a few feet at least but there was no-one there..

You did get the ability for the P,C but the phone also uses this ability so that will be another license fee to MS

What Tosh!
I shall respond no further to your blatant trolling.
Most of the size there is in the monitoring equipment for which there is no need. These days the Norks or anyone else could easily enough get something down to the size of a standard shipping container. Assuming they had no need of additional shielding to prevent it being found i.e was going to be lit off before the container was processed in US dockyards
who came up with this idea?

Re: not just the old..
Yes they were both blonde, how did you know?
not just the old..
I once went on a course just outside London, 2 young women (early 20's) who had driven down together from Liverpool didnt arrive until the next morning. When we asked why they admitted they had got to the M6 and turned left (North) instead of right (South)and ended up in scotland before they realised, they then had to retrace and get to the course adding an extra 300 miles to their journey.

Thats great but 310.90 also kills my PC, Poor little Geforce 8300GS.
Guesses..
My guess is that they will use it in branch for those sit downs the mortgage advisor has with the customer. They won't be replacing a users primary PC as such just an addendum to make the customer more comfortable and engaged with the seller.
Cheap at the price in that case.
statistics...
8 a day...
So that 353 councils x 8 RIPA uses = 2824 total RIPA use by councils per year
Get rid of Crazy southern nutter council and you can drop off to 352 councils and only 2509
So 99.99 of councils have averaged 7.4 RIPA uses per year, and when you consider all the uses trading standards will have to log under this... firework sales monitoring, booze, fags, pets, meat trading... its a tiny amount.
fckwads....
Any amateur or pro photographers who feel they will be affected by this don't forget to find your local MP then follow them with an appropriate lense from a public area.
Feel free to then distribute without charge the resultant photos to the press and internet.
inevitable spiral into filth by building in "abuse prevention" filters.
So every user will get a current photo of Margaret Thatcher to stick up next to the computer??
to be fair to Virgin Media...
they have blocked TPB in a really half assed manner that makes it a doddle to circumvent, they have gone just as far as legally required and no more.
Of course why would you even need 100MB broadband if not for TPB and its Ilk, VM are just protecting their bottom line while trying to seem to be doing all they can to the court.
they make what????
..in olden days when we were a newer company someone in admin/hr sent round the excel sheet with everyones grades and wages on... to everyone.
10 minutes later they asked everyone to delete the email without reading the attachment and we all did.. honest guvnor!

You can chuck on 2.3 on the basic desire but with the reduced space left you'll not be able to get up to much so doesnt seem much point..

Posted in Game denies Steam threat claims
Gave up on Game years ago......
They never have a good selection of PC games and won't do second hand ones (although other retailers do) I'm very happy with Steam as a PC gamer.
Can you tell what it is yet?............
Can we have a link to Dell secureworks information on this ... or at least some more in depth info on what the errors would be and where they would show.

give me steam/games and adobe and im sold..
Give me steam/games and adobe CS and im sold on linux desktop, people don't just use computers to browse the intertubes and fondle their mp3's no matter what the Ipad would like you to believe.
How hard can it really be .... and no I don't want to bugger around with VM's or dual boot or Wine as that defeats the whole purpose.
Without being able to get some real photo/web work done in those premier apps and blow off some steam on my favourite games in the same OS why would I bother with linux. Im still running some old win98 compatible games under win7 64 bit but I cant run pretty much every new game of the last 3 years on linux.
Get the apps compatible or its always going to be a FAIL for the home user, and if it fails at home then there will always be more resistance at work.

MY packet loss is ONLY 18-30% ( hah can't believe I would ever say ONLY to that) its the total unavailability of VM's network for large portions of the day that are pissing off user round my way.
no theres an idea
I may give that a try tonight.. cheers
not that strange....
From what I gleaned 20MB and 50MB are on different UBR so if they have oversold on 20MB but there arent many 50MB in your area then upgrading should have brought some benefit in peak bandwidth... which it did for about 2 days before going bat***** and being worse than the 20MB.
when it works as advertised its gorgeous.. its just that only for the 8 hours of the day you wouldnt be using it (unless you just want to torrent overnight in which case its the best BB out there but I don't)
lies, damn lies, VM press releases.....
I admit I was a mug who went for the 50MB upgrade as my previously rock solid 20MB had been pretty poor since December. Result is a shiny box that runs between 0.5 and 3mb from 10am till 1am the next day with anywhere from 16-35% packet loss. According to the VM advised speedtest it does run at 200MB every morning when I've tested it between 5am and 7am but this isn't much use for VOD, radio 6 and online gaming for the rest of the time.
Superhub is also terrible for wireless my range has gone down almost nothing @ 10m ( from a strong 20) assuming there isnt more than 1 wall and window in the way so I can't even get wireless in the garden without a door open.
There are loads of people in my neck of the woods with massive issues on 50MB and below, and VM are doing jack**** about it.
there is a country for old men
Watched Bruce last night in RED (Retired Extremely Dangerous) and he was excellent for his age or half his age, he did seem to have got a decade younger than the last film I saw him in though. On the other hand the love interest was Mary-Louise Parker who is 46 but doesn't look it either.
this is just bad words...

I download stuff using the kindle app...
its all free stuff, which is probably true for a lot of the stuff in this report.
where is the breakdown? i think that this may all just be **** ( aka advertising on how wonderfull ebooks are)
If you cant give us a full breakdown don't bother posting the story
but but
but if I secure my wireless I won't be able to use it as a defence...... against the black helicopters and their lawyers
