The panels are airtight? That'd be a first, every French car I've known has had difficulty being water tight. That goes for the engine leaking it out AND the cabin letting it in.
But, that 'filled with wee' look is most definately an improvement to the 'smug and full of sh*t' look that anyone driving a Prius takes on as they get behind the wheel.
Mine's a cycling jacket.
I used to get 2.4megs out of the 8meg I was paying for, due to my position relative to the exchange. Rubbish but not their fault I suppose, as the neighbours on different ISPs get the same.
In February I upgrded to 'MAX' broadband (sounds really, really fast), AND took out 2 mobiles (on £35pm Dolphin contracts). I also get free calls via my BT line and a second line on my LiveBox including free international calls. I get all this for a not-very-grand total £56pm after some haggling and part-exchanging an old phone. That's cheap.
Did I mention I can't get any faster than 0.4meg ever since? Cheap, in every sense of the word is what it is.
Emails to technical support recommended basic things I've already done. Now they've then pointed me to a call centre in India, which is only 5p a minute.
That's quite cheap, don't you think?.
..."We've made a big turn around on the application compatibility story, and we're just getting started".
Er, shouldn't you have started BEFORE releasing it to customers?
It fact, shouldn't you have started AND finished, AND gone back to improve it AGAIN before releasing it?
Anyone at Microsoft listening?
No?
Paris, because she doesn't always control her releases either (although she's quick to catch up).
From the line: "rejected a request for their DNA samples to be used in a research project", you can quickly assume that all those who's profiles were involved had given permission.
But then there would be no point in this article. So I'm assuming that ONLY THE COPPERS were asked if they give permission. Everyone else is included automatically, innocent or not, children included. Can that be true?
Sounds like it.
Just the same as any coppers caught on speed cameras are asked to explain why, before mostly being let off when they supply the default "It's Police Business" answer.
Us ordinary folks just get busted. No explanations asked for. No explanations accepted. Pay your fine or we'll make it a much bigger one, should you choose to waste our time trying to defend your innocence.
Chalk up another loss for the people. Add it to the list.
@ El Reg: Can we please get a Nazi icon for these stories?
Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 50%
Likelihood of you being MALE is 50%
This is only because FireFox remembers nothing about me or where I've been, like several other commenters.
I carefully set it up this way, therefore I'm 100% likely to be male, as ladies don't surf dodgy sites that require such an approach. Do they?
Paris, because her history is known to everybody.
That's an interesting argument from The Government.
Consider that car exhaust emissions only account for 1% of CO2 produced globally.
You'd have to agree that's a "relatively small amount" and that they should leave us motorists the bloody well alone.
Mine's the one with I LOVE MY HUMMER screen-printed on the back.
...if you don't know about Blew-Rey you don't want it.
If you're a tech-savvy 'early adopter' you're downloading HD torrents and playing them via a wireless box.
So that leaves the non-technical everyman to shell out the big bucks. He's just spent 70 quid filling his car up, so it might have to wait until...never.
Simple.
Mine's the one with I Love IsoHunt screen-printed on the back.
So what's the chances of the shopping centre's staff being able to remove themselves from this system? Bugger all, so you better stop hanging around the back room in pairs.
Looks like those almost-obsolete OFF-LINE stores are about to lose a load of staff, as well as the remainder of their shoppers.
