It doesn't detect that telivision is an incorrect spelling because there are so many authoritative examples of that spelling: http://www.wordnik.com/words/telivision

Google seems to do a good job of detecting spelling errors and automatically updating it's dictionary and of course it also shows you websites where that word is used. I don't really see what Wordnik provides.

theregister.co.uk seems to be down but the same group has cracked ups.com and the source shows that they used a Microsoft product.

There you are, Microsoft aid crackers.

I like this.

This could be modelled in a similar way to the BBC where every 10 years it's charter has to go for review by politicians so that its plan for the next 10 years can be accepted. This could then include the funding that would be required for NASA to operate and then the politicians would have to keep their hands off it.

I first used these in the UK in Safeway back in the late 90s. Now that they've been takenover by Morrisons I don't think they have them anymore.

Waitrose still have them though. You just swipe your credit card and it tells you which handset to pick up, and then you do your shopping. Article from 1997: http://www.thegrocer.co.uk/articles.aspx?page=articles&ID=33232

Is this really a new thing in the US?

The BBC brought in a fashion designer as the expert on the Fukushima nuclear power plant and its affect on the nuclear industry.

Whoops - and now I have as well

I always thought the CC in CCTV stood for 'Closed Circuit', meaning the pictures are not being broadcast.

I know they're not being broadcast over RF but shouldn't making them available to anyone via a website be classed as 'broadcasting' therefore making it Open Circuit TV or just 'TV' ?

"It sucks to be out of work today. But it sucks more to be in forced labor."

Good choice of words ;)

What's so bad about having a low f-stop lens? I like them for providing a narrow depth of field and to be able to shoot in low light conditions.

I'm 27, and grew up with a BBC Model B, moving on to Windows 3.11. GP description also pegged me accurately. As for being creative with computers today; get them designing websites and facebook apps. These may seem basic; and they will be at first but this allows them to be easily shown off to peers which thinking back was probably an important factor that kept me coding when I was younger. Then they can build on these and gain more experience; get to learn PHP and databases. PHP is the new BASIC. This should be the modern introduction to computing.

Move on to what? And, how do we know this 'hacker' hasn't generated these 1.5 million accounts to sell, rather than going through the trouble of hacking?
