Re: The no campaign is grasping at straws here

Examples:

1) "You'll have to pay roaming fees for using your phone in England" A) No shit sherlock b) O2s roaming costs are LESS than they charge for domestic use, due to EU rules.

2) You'll need to carry your passport: Again no shit sherlock, foreign country and all that.

3) Englanmd will be a different country... another no shit sherlock, but wait, what's that, Scotland and England are different countries with different legal systems, school systems, health care systems, and even different forms of the English language.

So far their claims would struggle to meet the requirements of a "Not Proven" let alone "Guilty" of delivering the truth.

How can that be "Not proven" when you've just stipilated to the facts? You've just agreed that everything theyve said is true?

>>>The no campaign is grasping at straws here

>>>shows how terrifiied they are of us leaving the UK.

What straws? Alex Salmond did waste public money hiding the fact he hadnt asked for a legal opinion, right when legal opinions are coing out that makes him look like an idiot.

>>>true what youre saying but they are going to pay on time no matter what the mainstream media tries and convince you otherwise. Already provisions in the law that treasury can allocate the funds for emergency purposes such as this.

Indeed, I saw him more as a Jabba the Hutt figure

Re: NASA website

As other commenters have noted, including myself. There is the cost of bandwidth to provide a full service (apparently that Nasa closed page is 21k, as opposed to a browsing session in the Mbs per person), and the problem of noone patching out security flaws as they arise.

Lets say a new vulnerability is discovered next week that GovernmentProjectA.gov is vulnerable to. lets say that site has personal data on it... I dunno maybe ticket sales to an event or a submission system for a permit or something.

Would it be better for the site to be down, or up and not maintained?

Re: This is just a mild taste of reality

Um, no.

Appropriations and spending bills have to be passed all the time, surplus, deficit, or anything in between. They are bread and butter bills to reallocate funds from the treasury to the departments.

The Debt ceiling problem is in two weeks.

The reason why this has happened to because the republicans in the house haven't been able to convince the senate to repeal the AHA any of the 40 odd times they've tried... So they're now taking hostages.

Re: Get it right

>>>>>Can you tell me what THIS BILL does to alter that? The only people who benefit from this are insurance companies.

This bill has nothing to do with healthcare at all. It is an appropriations/supply bill to find the government.

Perhaps you mean the affordable care act, which is not a bill.

Seriously, if you don't know the difference you need to stop copy/pasting crap from tea party HQ and instead go spend some time learning how congress works.

Re: Who knows...

It was a Capita quote for the contract, they get paid by the bit.

Yes, the democrats have caused a shutdown, under President Ray-Gun... Sorry, I mean Reagan.

Re: Get it right

The issue was debated... And passed by both houses! There's a reason why its called the affordable care act and not the affordable care bill. Acts have been passed, the debate is complete, it is law.

As for the shutdown, that again was debated, and the senate voted against passing the bill, thrice.

Re: Who knows...

Well, no, because bills arent getting paid... have you seen late fees?

And having a website with content may cost more, you've got to pay for the traffic leaving. a simple 20k "Closed" page only gets sent once per user, a full site is sending a lot more with each click.

Re: And the GOP doesn't understand why they lose elections

except they dont lose elections. they won more elections than they lost, hence why they are able to use the house of representatives to hold the nation hostage

fails to impress even the poorest market sector of cellphone buyers

Which is fine, because deadbeats with no money are not apple's target market.

Difference of course being if the CCCP lied, they havent committed a crime, and even if they have they own the court.

If Apple lies, they open themselves to a criminal liability.

Re: This requires 2 iDevices

Or you simply login to iCloud.com..... which can be done from almost any internet enabled device....

Re: Go on then Chad...

Notoriously secret company doesnt issue press release.. More news at 11.

Here's a possible theory. maybe they have more important things to do.

Re: Slow news day eh?

Did they? Citation please.

Oh that's right, there isn't any. Just speculation from the absence of an announcement!

Apparently absence of evidence is now evidence of absence!

Re: Bye bye BT

Sky "Support".. Ha!

Had intermittent sync. Despite persistent emails to them and persistedn reponses saying "We're looking into it" no movement, and didn't even offer even an basic explanation as to where the problem was just "We're looking into it, please don't leave".

Moved to BT as they were the only company who'd take away that nasty sky connection without £150-ish in engineer fees (LLU connections are great... Until you want to move to someone else to provide a connection and get hit with that exit fee....

Never had to contact BT support thankfully, and am fearing having to do so.

Re: This article reads a bit like

Yes, I thought that was an odd voice as SMS authentication, whilst a nice hacked-up token method is nice and convenient, is about as useful as tits on a bull for the purposes the iPhone sensor will be used for.
