I wrote my own little terminal commands back when I had a 5 hour lay-over in Charles de Gaulle Airport (Paris). At the time, they offered 15 minute free wifi, so I just ran my little tool and it worked a treat.

I really don't get this... Maybe I'm just not clever enough, but this is referring to verification of the email address, right? I wonder how many users don't ever verify their email address though... Couldn't facebook in

This is awful... "Automatically Mark as watched your TV" makes no sense to me, but I get what it's trying to do - automatically mark TV content as watched. But as far as I can tell, this doesn't work with a TV? They tota

Pretty phenomenal when you think about the speed it's going at... I just watched it cross the Atlantic ocean and it's nearly over Europe now...

I haven't look at the technical details, but it does use Bittorrent, so you're most likely peering and seeding to other users too.

Very true. If anyone ever comes to the UK, I find McDonalds to be amongst the cleanest toilets!

I went to visit NYC in 2012 and was so surprised by the lack of clean toilets around... I would've paid $5 for a good, CLEAN toilet. Usually I just go to Starbucks (works well in Europe), but I found them pretty horrible in NYC.. I&#x2

I eat my desk cause our office has a small table in the kitchen area that seats 4. It's shared between about 100 staff... There's absolutely no culture of eating together etc... Everyone here sits at their desks and eats their lun

And anyway, I'm not arguing for Scotland's independence, but it seems to me that people usually think England is more of a country than Scotland. They're both part of the United Kingdom equally really.

It's all very confusing then really... Scotland does issue its own money, but it's a shared currency (just the same as the Euro is a shared currency but countries that use the Euro issue their own). So would that count? Debatable.

That's actually really, reallyyyyy impressive... Congrats to Kickstarter.

It's difficult to answer, but I'd say yes. It doesn't in the sense that Scotland (nor does England, NI, Wales) have its own embassy in other countries, etc. All members of the United Kingdom are tightly integrated (e.g. Scotl

Exactly that, plus Scots going to study in England had to pay their fees. As a side note though, if Scotland becomes independent when voted later on this year, then "Thousands of English, Welsh and Northern Irish students will study at

Not quite right - in Scotland, it's actually free for all EU students EXCEPT for English, Welsh, and Northern Irish students. And as mentioned above, it's free in the sense that students don't pay, but it's all subsidis

I clicked through hoping this would be about physical objects... I've always wondered, if I leave a bike unchained and someone takes it, it's considered stealing, right? But what about littering a box of cigarettes on the floor, a

For example, my partner works at a clothes retail shop. There's dozens of staff who work non-stop throughout the day to sort out incoming deliveries. It's a clothes shop: things belong on retail shelves and are hung up, so don&#x2

I too see this happening, and am always surprised these companies aren't pushing faster for this... I also think of delivery vans and lorries around the city - whenever I walk to work I see about a dozen delivery vans and lorries, all

Call me backwards, but I got my first car last year--a 12 year old VW Polo--and I couldn't be happier with its basic layout. Physical buttons I can find without ever looking away are the best, and I hope I never get a car like the Tesl

What's worse is that Apple iMessage servers seem to cache your phone number for a long time too... Even new message threads from my friends were trying to send as iMessage, even long after I got rid of my iPhone, disabled iMessage ever

Aren't the NSA a huge investor in TOR? ... I get what OP is trying to do, but in reality, since you're still using other people's pipes and fibre, you will never reach true anonymity, no matter what you try...
