Watch this one then.

Interesting story also about the sound track. Branson wanted a soundtrack by the Eurythmics who were very big at the time and the director changed it.
"Julia" is the only song by the Eurythmics that made it onto the movie and only at the credits. It is still my favorite song by them.
Sounds like marketing or upper management. This reminds me of an old Chevy I had. It had a six cylinder engine and worked real well. Marketing decided that model needed a V8. It fit. So the next years model had a V8. It fit. Sort of. You need to yank the engine to replace the plugs. I think someone figured out how to lift the engine just a little bit to change out the plugs. That wasn't an engineering decision.
Don't quite get all of the down votes. Wunderground.com has been saying the same thing about colder winters, hotter summers and blaming it on climate change.
So if it does happen the climate change people are still going to blame climate change.
A few years ago Smart meters were being pushed in the U.S.. Here in Texas there were fights over privacy issues since they monitored your use every minute. Some people were arrested for not allowing the power company to come on their property and change out the meter.
Now I am for a meter that sends data once a month so the meter reader doesn't get into an altercation with my dogs. There is no reason for the power company to invade my privacy and constantly monitor my usage.
You have mentioned how high the cost is in the U.K., but what about the U.S.? Is there any major difference in the meters?
" Modelo, a Mexican beer that – like many brews served in the US – tastes like making love in a canoe"
I take severe offense at that. Negro Modelo is a fine dark beer. Great with spicy food.
I have been to California many times and tried the various "craft beers" and they all taste like they were made by beginners.
I just upgraded my internet connection, now my WiFi has a new name and password. I only have a Nest controller so it wasn't a big deal but what if I had ten, twenty devices?
As far as door bell and security I have dogs.
If they got the price down to $50 I might be interested. If I am in the backyard with the dogs I never hear the doorbell.
Of course as someone else already said, if they get popular, they are just going to get stolen.
Yes I wish she would go away too. Unfortunately a lot of the Conservativs( and I use that term loosely) think she is great. If you try to expose how bad she was you are denounced as a leftist clown.
Just see the comments from this article.
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/05/04/unlike-hillary-clinton-carly-fiorina-welcomes-tough-questions-from-media-public/
No one seems to ask the tough question. " You were fired after two years because you destroyed the company you were in charge of. Why is that a qualification for any elected office."
I had a 2003 Honda Insight for ten years. I was on my third battery when I got rid of it. The first battery made 60K miles. The second made 30K. The battery was $4K and the electronic control module. was $1K. I did a little research at the time and found that once the first battery fails the next one doesn't last as long. I was lucky that I was covered by an extended warranty. I sold the car before the warranty ran out.
Other than a brake job and scheduled maintenance the only issue I had with the car was battery related.
First off Native Americans have a very special legal status based on over two hundred years of various treaties. The fact that you don't know that means you have a very limited knowledge of American History.
Secondly the article clearly states the law is based on the one that Bill Clinton signed in 1993, not an exact copy. Different authors are going to use different language based on their backgrounds or perhaps court rulings in their state. Since the Federal law was passed in 1993 I am sure there are a lot of court cases to look at.
As far as your comment "Dunlapse". Really? I haven't heard that one since fourth grade.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2015/03/27/19-states-that-have-religious-freedom-laws-like-indianas-that-no-one-is-boycotting/
So why the hoopla now? In 1993 Bill Clinton signed the Federal Law that the State laws are based on.
The people are for net neutrality? That is a buzzword. it has no meaning. What we have now is a three hundred page document that was not released before the vote. What is actually in it, I don't know. I have other things on my plate, but from what I have heard it is fixing a problem that doesn't exist.
They had an Sci Fi Story where a house was accused of killing it's owner in the year 2040. They got some of the top Defense Attourney's at the time to write up a defense for the house. If memory serves F. Lee Baily wrote a brilliant defense complete with fake precedents.
You hope it resets to the time. I had one of the early "Atomic Clocks". Every time a massive front came down past Colorado the time would jump. The bigger the time jump the bigger the storms. I got three days warning of massive thunderstorms. Much better than the Weather service.
It is interesting that you are saying how great this will be but you haven't read it. The only credible things I can find on the subject is that five people had read it and it is 330 pages long.
As far as the element of fear I suggest you start following the discussions on the various Campaign finance laws. You might want to start with the Swift boaters vs. Kerry. The courts have already ruled that freedom of Speech is restricted with 180 days of a Federal election.

I don't normally like Wikepedia but it will get you started.

Not quite sure why he-and a lot of other people- are going on junkets to Turkey.

So why does he want to sell it and to whom does he want to sell it to?
It is clear that Tristan did read your second paragraph. Just because you worked on it and didn't see a problem he did. If he hadn't been one of the people fixing things ahead of time there would have been a huge issue.
I replied to your original post and I did read your second paragraph. Just because you didn't see a problem in your own little world doesn't mean that other people didn't.
No they didn't. Back when I worked for a Semiconductor OEM I spent many hours testing equipment to make sure it didn't have problems. My employers equipment didn't. Some of the other vendors that I worked with had major problems. Such as complete lockups.
The reason we didn't have major issues with Y2K is because everyone was testing ahead of time.
The biggest problem with Y2k was the H1-B visa. The Y2K bug was the "reason" the U.S. started letting in so many foreign tech workers.
As I said in my post. Other sites are covering it. It is not like the Reg is breaking something that no one else is. You didn't even respond to my point that the video of a beheading that was leaked out is using the web to "raise the awareness" as you say would be more of a valid article for this site.
I don't go to political sites for tech news and I don't read El Reg for political news.
I have followed this on other sites but I don't see why it is on the register. A lot of people say stupid things on and off the internet and pay the consequences.
As others have pointed out, if you violate the laws of your country you suffer the consequences. Be glad you live in the west. I surprised that El Reg didn't mention the video of the women being beheaded that was briefly on Youtube. Smuggled videos that end up on social media sites seem to me to be more of a story. Wikileaks anyone?
