Clouds and Air Traffic

Shouldn't be a problem ..... as long as the radar / auto guidance for poor visibility holds up.

Alert

Sounds fine in principle....

However, there would also need to be some investment at the receiver end - those who don't want or need broadband for example (it would now become a necessary evil and additional cost to those on limited income).

Would meet the government view of every service to be web based - the smart TV sellers must be applauding this and rubbing their hands together (and yes I know it's just a recommendation).

Bravo

That's the kit setup - now all they have to do is design a cost effective case for it - well done the boffins

Result !

What happens when SWMBO says that if we need a new TV she doesn't want a smaller unit than we had !

Ended up with an LG Smart TV with passive 3D and a free 3d blu-ray player (also got permission to network it so she can watch endless re-runs on iPlayer (btw another one for apple to fight over))

Re: As an avid F1 fan

Not from Microsoft - but obviously you require multiple devices and more importantly licenses to boost the coffers (bulk purchase deal perhaps ?)

Perhaps they should have typed UNSCO in the image search, which would have provided a more relevant image.

Re: A largely English-speaking population???

Although listening to the reports from the 2008 Olympics where they were interviewing Chinese school children (8 - 12 yrs ?) on BBC R4 they should be wiping the floor with Indian call centres any time soon (also comprehension of spoken English was pretty good - try that when someone won't break a script to understand what you are saying !)

Re: Re Time to phase out cheques

The process describe by Kubla is similar to that operated by our window cleaner, we get an invoice and a prepaid envelope. Probably because we may be lucky enough not to reside in a city centre / urbanized estate where this may be an issue.

Big Brother

So....

10 - 11% of its users may not be generating useful traffic ?

I wonder what else will be admitted to ? (number of underage account holders ? - although you can still market to them)

Isendel Steel
Stop

Re: Time to phase out cheques

And replace them with what ? I think that is the issue that postponed killing them off earlier.

Small (simple) businesses (window cleaners for example) may not have the tech to process card or NFC payments/.

I may have missed it of course...

Re: Chuckle

Presumably to sell coffee to the tired and emotional staff and punters after their late night queuing ?

Re-entry

Did it fly like a brick ? and did it do what all Lego constructions do if you drop them from 5 inches ?

(and were the children upset after spending so long putting the model together?)

Re: Pics...

I also noticed the yellow hose - possibly washing l'auto ?

Thank you

Normal service is resumed...

Also...

only Google.com has the black banner - so possibly only from blocked from the US...

42 ?

The Answer my be 42 but what is (more importantly) The Question ?

The Question of Life, The Universe and Everything is "what is 6 x 9"

which =! 42

Doesn't want it

My mother in law (almost shortened that to a TLA) doesn't see the need for the internet - and being on restricted means doesn't see the need to pay for it either.

Arson

the cause of the fire was arson - someone arson' around

and add some additional software as well - really upsets the kids when it blocks them and they think they were able to go somewhere that they need approval for...

Would be useful at DisneyWorld

The size of those car parks are huge - and if you happen to have one of those standard white hire cars (well they were when I went) and forgot (in your haste to enter the park) to note where you were. Assuming you had the details of the car (I guess that's where it falls down) or you owned a standard model "compact" you could ask for location - also assuming you had a portable SatNav or smartphone....

Just dug myself a hole there...mine with a pencil and paper in the pocket
