will be interesting to see what the italian/french/belgium sim unlocked 3gs prices are like on ebay. typically the factory unlocked 3g's were between 450 and 600 from the non rip off merchants.
however given that apple (illegally i suspect) dont offer a pan eu warrantee its a risky business
Isnt someone missing the point here?
Apple have very privledged relationship with intel - to the point at which they are early launching Intel products or getting their own versions made for them.
How does the new platform pose a threat to the MBA? Nothing is stopping a current manufacturer making a copy now.
Presumably Apple if they so wish will be able leverage the new platform before most of their competitors.
Dont blame the police - blame the real culprits.
I think its a little unfair to tar all the rozzers with the same brush. In any organisation there are people who will exceed their limits, whether its battering a protester or nicking an MP on a politically dubious charge.
Saying you dont trust the Police as an organisation is harsh. Its should be expected that the police try to push the boundaries - infact its healthly that they do so. Criminals arent known for staying inside those boundaries.
Where there has been a massive failure is among the people who are MEANT to restrain the police and dictate their limits - namely the current government - who have gone out of their way in the last 8 years to suggest any conduct is acceptable if its to defend the state from harm. The harm of course being anything the current Govt decides it is.
It baffles me why crucial would release such a crap product 3-4 later than the runcores have been available
For Dell Mini 9
Crucial 64gb 40 Mb/s Read 15 Mb/s Write - Approx £140
Runcore 64Gb 78 Mb/s Read 44 Mb/s Write - Approx £190
Double - triple the performance for 50 quid more is a no brainer. If you cant afford the 64Gb run core the 32GB is only £100-ish
The Reg's atom bashing is getting very old very quickly.
Ok it is a downgrade for the Mini, but how many people are stretching the mini anyway?
OS X runs happily on Atom - as all the people out there running it on their netbooks will attest, the graphics are the weak point (although even the netbooks can run Quartz Extreme). The ION components will sort any lack in the graphics department.
Of course the big advantage projectives have over Lasers is that they can lob shots over obstacles and horizons.
Not a major issue for Bradleys and the like but surely a disadvantage of a laser mounted on a n M1A1 compared to a conventional M1A1.
I presume tank still provide indirect fire on occasions? F
Hey AC never let the facts get in the way of a good rant eh?
Quoted from bbc.co.uk on the same story
"The Department for Transport annual results - published on the 25th of September - show that, nationally, only 6% of accidents are caused by people breaking speed limits and yet almost 100% of the government's road safety money is being invested in speed cameras,"
Now if only they remove the mobile cameras who park over the M4 bridges we'd be in clover.
You gotta feel sorry and thankful for AMD. Thankful because they gave Intel the kick up the ass they so richly deserved. Sorry because they seem to have spent all their energy delivering that kick and have nothing left to run away from the angry gorilla.
Carcass for obvious reasons
I've not heard of slamming being a major issue in Ireland, where I ported 2 or 3 times over a period of years within the 2 hr limit.
I certainly never heard of anyone being slammed either.
Sounds like Vodafone is blowing the issue out of all proportion. The solution is fairly simple too - make the punishment for slamming so stringent that no retailer would dare do it. If all the networks had a slamming punishment clause in their retailer contracts there would be no issue.
