The real story here is that the UK govt isnt giving money to communal rural broadband programs. That is what this story is about. BT(wholesale) owns the vast majority of the UK's phone lines and internet access(with the exception of cable where you can get it).
The systems in place only seem to acknowledge broadband extension programmes from big companies so as apparently to avoid communities setting up their own broadband networks etc.
This is pretty disgraceful (but old) news from the British govt. It was on radio 4 about a month ago...

Or rare meat. The core of the meat has to reach a high enough temperature to reliably kill the parasites. 145F for pork and fish. 165 for everything else. Note that chefs routinely go lower than these temperatures in order to avoid tough, leathery meat. I would imagine that fish tapeworms are the most common in the US since cooking fish too long will ruin it. And then of course there is sushi.

Although I am not a massive fan of films shown in 3d, I have to mention that the current generation of 3d displays can be used for other purposes. I have an active 3d setup on my pc, with LCD shutter glasses and it is not fantastic for watching films, mainly due to the quality of the films and the 3d effects used in most of them.
Where the system really excels is in gaming. It adds a huge quality to games which look pretty decent even without it. LA Noire is one example where I was astounded by how much the improvement added to the atmosphere. I think also because rendered scenes avoid having out of focus areas that it is somewhat easier on the eyes than filmed 3d effects. Definitely worth getting a glimpse of if you can, although it can still stress the eyes a bit.
