Wasn't that issue fixed by an update some months after it came out? It was supposed to have been. What version of Android are you on now? 2.3.3 is available for it and eventually you'll be able to get 4.0 using cyanogenmod.

It's not the _time_ being wasted that they're bothered about, it's the whales being wasted that bothers them.
Your point, that I was addressing, was "Do these people really have nothing better to do with their time".

There's a lot of people on the planet, and so a lot of time being spent by them, why does the small amount of time these people spend grate on you that much? What do you spend your time doing?

"Fresh scans of the missing material have been made by the National Archives of Australia and will be incorporated into the restored episodes ahead of a DVD release."

If they're missing, how can the National Archives of Australia be scanning them?

They should be hoping so, as Windows Phone tablets is a total branding breakdown that's just out the door for a brand name that's a refresh of a brand name that's a refresh of a brand name.

You talk too much dude, cut down on the caffeine.

Why do you insist on calling them MSFT? That's what their Nasdaq symbols is. The company's called Microsoft.

You think the _US_ should be the one to be convincing _others_ of this? In the UK it's already illegal, it's the _US_ that needs to learn this from other countries.

I love the whitespace, makes it really easy on the eye.

I bet the cops loved the fact they could use all the CCTV recognition from the recent student protests against cuts and austerity measures to boost their CCTV statistics.

This is what Debian did with 'Etch'n'Half', in the 4.0 'Etch' stable distribution, going from 2.6.18 to 2.6.24, which was alarming because, in their words:

        * "Debian does not guarantee that all hardware that is supported by the default etch 2.6.18 kernel is also supported by the 2.6.24 kernel, nor that all software included in etch will work correctly with the newer kernel.
        * Migrating from the 2.6.18 etch kernel to the 2.6.24 "etch-and-a-half" kernel will work in many cases, but is not guaranteed to succeed. Upgrades from both the 2.6.18 and 2.6.24 kernels to the kernel provided by the next stable release ("lenny") will be supported.
        * Not all features of the etch 2.6.18 kernel are available in the 2.6.24 images, this includes the Xen and linux virtual server flavors.
        * Out-of-tree kernel module source packages that were provided in etch are not guaranteed to function properly with the 2.6.24 kernel.
        * The current "etch-and-a-half" installation images based on Debian Installer Lenny RC1 use a newer kernel (2.6.26) than the version that was included in the "etch-and-a-half" release and is installed for the target system (2.6.24). In some cases this can mean that hardware which is supported during the installation does not work after the reboot into the installed system because support for it was added after the 2.6.24 version."

UK Police already have something similar to this in that they've had aeroplanes constantly circling over various cities for the past few years. For example: http://www.gmp.police.uk/mainsite/pages/asu.htm and http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/s/226/226142_spyplane_warning_over_eid_celebrations.html

Robert M. Pirsig in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance said very clearly that seeing mechanics work with music in the background was the sound of a poor quality workshop. I've thought about this with regard to programming and I sway between needing total silence and needing music.

We already have this in Manchester, England:

As do many British cities.

And fry your balls?
