A bit disappointed that the combo box for citizenship has 'Great Britain' instead of 'United Kingdom'.

"If robots instructions don't mention Applebot" I would assume this means that it will follow GoogleBot unless you specifically mention AppleBot by name and not by using a wildcard. So a User-agent: * would be ignored if a Us

Roaming will hopefully soon be abolished throughout Europe ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-26866966 ). Although there have been talks that this might be delayed by a couple of years. Then in the UK there's

The reason for this is to cut down travel time. Japan already has a high-speed connection between almost all major cities, so this is just to speed up the link even more. What would a low-speed maglev accomplish?

Put you still end up paying around 0.2%-0.4% in platform costs. Or is this different in the US?

As there have been quite a few incidences of a pilot intentionally crashing a plane, It would be interesting to see if the ratio of mass-murdering pilots to pilots is larger than mass-murderers vs the adult population.

I wonder how much that would have helped in this case though. Someone determined to crash a plane would not have too much of a problem incapacitating any cabin crew member (by surprise most likely) before his attempt. I believe that having

I have been thinking about this as well. However, I believe that by the time your 2.i degree is considered 'below the minimum', your accrued job experience will have far surpassed your academic achievements. I would also expect HR

I always found cheating to be much easier at US universities than back in the UK. Although maybe this was only my personal experience. In the US you could often sit anywhere you liked in exams and have anything on you (cheat sheets were all

In the UK we have PayM which is set up by the banks. You simply load your bank's mobile app and send money to your mate using his phone number. It's pretty simple to set up and works across most major banks here.

Finally a refresh to the contacts site. I always found this to be quite useful for managing my Android contacts. It looks nice but there are definitely some improvements needed in terms of merging of G+ data with existing data. For example,

These are quite good and definitely result in quite surprising output in some cases. I would have liked the descriptions/answers to be a bit more detailed though. For example, why is the static constructor called only after the instanc

So, in another ludicrous conspiracy, one could assume that the UK government knows about the honeypots the FBI sets up, then adds them to the banned website list in order to protect its citizens?

Oh my god I completely forgot about RealPlayer. Luckily there was an alternative, Real Alternative, that enabled you to play the content without having to install that ghastly RealPlayer. It seems like the community always finds a way aroun

While I agree I believe that for now this is mostly the case for US-based companies. Working in the finance sector, it's interesting to see a strong divide between US companies that are more than happy to have an external company hold

WhatsApp has over 700 million users and I'd bet a much higher percentage of active users than G+ (although that is just a guess). I have not even heard of the others though until now.

It's also weird that a European company would quote the price in USD. Maybe it's yet another Chinese company disguising as a European company in order to look more credible?
