I have the same problem. The airlines are pretty smart about this problem to ensure their passengers don’t get caught up in this - I’ve had them change the name on my booking before at check in because the travel agent didn’t do it right. A

Embrace, extend, extinguish. Justified or not, Microsoft's history makes it hard for me to trust them. AWS have wiped over $2000 in excess charges incurred by one of our instances' data transfer - we set up an alert after that - t

MIT has quite the number of subdomains. I myself found that a server I managed had been exploited via Roundcube a few years ago and saw that the domain http://esi.mit.edu/ , running on Drupal or something then, had been hack

There are so many externalities that aren't accounted for when you sell it for a dollar a litre, it's unfair to future generations. Also, Norway isn't all that excessive in international comparison: http://www.aip

And that would very quickly end up with the question of whether all this isn't greatly Microsoft's doing by dropping IE support for older versions of Windows.

Unlocking the bootloader nominally both voids the warranty and requires a complete wipe of everything on the phone.

You mean the same driver update that broke my VPN with no fix no matter how long I looked without a reinstall? 'pretty fine' is always going to be a subjective thing.

Just as a hypothetical example, let's say I want to hook up a Wiimote to an Android device. The Wiimote cannot enter a code and hit enter, but apart from that it's a normal Bluetooth device. Pre-Android 4.2, it was perfectly fine

The Bluetooth driver for quite a few Lenovo Thinkpads is a 210 MiB download. It includes btrez.dll (two seemingly near identical copies for x64 and one for x86, each about 25 MB) and all of the .NET 4.0 runtime, among other things.

Google's market cap is $350 billion. They're at a point where if they need to woo and wine and dine people into accepting their new supposedly revolutionary product on a party boat, then that's just about the biggest sign of

If this really is it then I'm rather disappointed by Google's lack of imagination here. Surely you could put that money to better use.

I don't care. Make the processor more efficient, make the screen more efficient and it really becomes a non-issue. LG could have put in more battery in the Nexus 4 had they really wanted to, probably 20% more. Remember Nokias with four

Modularity is going to remain very very much alive, at least for mobile phones. Here's why. A mobile phone needs to be a certain size to hold it. There's always going to be a minimum size, beyond which it won't be sensible, i

So no one has the right to, for example, clean water? Or is that just egalitarian bullshit that is going to make everyone the same in every aspect too?

Ah, you think Germany is bad? In Australia we have the choice of Telstra for phone. Well, in Germany Deutsche Telekom used to run HFC as well, until they were forced to sell it off by the EU back when they were privatised. That didn't

But VDSL2 is cheaper AND can be done sooner, is what the review near enough headed by the incumbent telco, Telstra, will say. And that's all that matters. Even if it does cost more simply within ten years because of the difference in m

It's funny because fibre is near enough cheaper to maintain and run than copper is these days. It's just that the copper is already there and the telco that'll say 'go capex blast-off' when you're not going to

I cannot possibly think of what actual relevance there is in that . Not least of all because if I don't have IPv6, there's plenty of ways to do that, even from the end-user perspective, with no support from your ISP, no capital e
