I am supposedly on 24mb ADSL2+ got changed over from max, line went from a solid 6500 profile to an artificially limited 3mb. Apparently they have placed artificial limits on a very large proportion of entanet customers, with no explanation. Go faster, but get limited to under half what you had before!!!
I can believe the figures for the environment sector alone for job increases, and would even go as far as to say they may be underestimated, but 87,500 in the wind sector currently employed and going up to 156,000? Are they counting general construction workers who erect the windmills? a temporary position, or is the the manufacturers etc. More detail should be given before ministers spout rubbish like this. Wave power, the UK has world leading technologies and expertise, but little investment.
If the way they run their service is anything like their corporate activity.
Had them when I first went ADSL, I stayed 5 weeks, got told not to download more than 50mb in an evening, had sub dial up speeds. Went to f2s, left when it was announced they bought Pipex. Had my phone with them, they forgot to charge me for 10 months, admitted it was their fault so I got 10 months free calls, which was nice.
why select 1998 as the effective start point, I think the data for a couple of decades prior should be shown, this would make many comments nonsensical. 1997 was exceptionally warm, it was the year of a very strong El Nino effect. Interesting that, of the data shown is from the end of this year, skewing trends. If the available data going back was normalised you would still clearly see that the trend is to warm. Please use the full data sets and not pick and mix. You will find that the long term trend is still upwards. Anthropomorphic climate change is happening. 1/10 for science, 8/10 for misrepresentation of data.
How many of those updates actually required a reboot or two? I think you will have noticed the system just updated itself and kept going. The updates are for the whole installed app base, not just the underlaying Linux. I prefer to get updates immediately, not once a month, that way I know I have safer systems.
sb - do you use linux?
- (G) Santa (G) - I love food! I like just about everything...
sb - is linux better than windows
- (G) Santa (G) -I can't really tell, both linux and windows are good.
sb - windows is not good
- (G) Santa (G) - I'll get over it.
stealth banana - will you use linux?
- (G) Santa (G) - I might eventually, but for now I'd be happy just staying there and chatting with you.
What do you want for Christmas, sb?
"Vista experienced fewer security vulnerabilities than either Mac OS X, Windows XP or Ubuntu Linux"
Is this the old M$ FUD comparison of just Vista (used to be XP) as shipped against the typical full Linux distro with every package? I think they should also count every windows app and their security vulnerabilities for a real comparison.
Now, as suspected by the people in charge of this patent troll, this is a ploy by M$ to halt the spread of the GNU/Linux cancer, what will that do to the 'no sue' agreement with Novell and inter-company relations?
Personally, I would love to see a full independent audit of M$ code for violations of the GPL. I think that would be fair.
Big thing out there called the sun. The suns rays will be hitting the poor little telescope without the protection of the atmosphere, This leads to massive changes in temperature, hence the need for cooling. As a whole (as in the whole universe) its near absolute zero, but then the universe is a pretty big place.
>But the Roadster itself emits no pollution whatsoever into the atmosphere.
Erm, beg to differ, what about the tyres, or does it run on some sort of anti-grav? The biggest cause of harmful particulate matter (<pm20) is from vehicle tyres wearing away on road surfaces. Please conduct research before making such claims.
