Also many of the prepaid deals have free international minutes or some discount deal

All the UK HSDPA modems I've had work out of the box on Fedora (T-mob/Voda, look for the Huawei ones).

Remote as in "not in the office" or as in "distant/dazed/hung-over/high"

It sounds like you are breaking the EU working time directive . You can legally (though maybe not practically) refuse to do it

DRM should be able to let you 'lend' digital copies to people...

I often download > 7GB in a day with no trouble with Virgin... Also I share a house, so it's not just me that's using the net

I had that same problem, but then I got a deal and now it's 4p/min to almost anywhere.

Also, if you make an emergency call, any network will let you on. That gives you 3 or 4 times the capacity

For a while (when a student), I had a naming convention based off drug names, related vaguely to the box by function. For example weed is the box I used most, shroom was the laptop that had psychedelic errors, a server called coke (really important for my network and the drug cartels) and a router called mule.

Also, suddenly you have to QA infinite combinations of hardware. Apple could reasonably test every system they mention as comparable before release of an OS X upgrade.

If you try to swipe a chip and pin card by cloning the mag-stripe any machine that supports the chip will tell you to use that. That means that you can only use the card out-of-country, and the bank often think it's a little odd if you are using your card in two places a few kmiles (yes that is miles with an SI prefix) apart within hours.

In the flash animation above the video (on the passwindow site), there are clearly more than 5 digits. I can see 16 places a digit can be (counting the _ sections of the digit, the uprights overlap).

If I was able to have multiple attempts, I can break any password

Even with those few passwords in there, wouldn't you consider your Google Account (credentials) to be 'important'.
