So it was on Netflix in the UK? Not much use to me as I have LoveFilm. And no, I'm not signing up for a duplicate service just for one programme.
Who the hell marked this up as "Insightful"?
A car is a potentially lethal weapon, and when I'm driving, I'm thankful that I know everybody else on the road is insured. Remember, if your car has no value, you can always insure it third party only.
Because this is about terrestrial television, not cable television.
Keeping lost property is 100% "stealing". Either go through the contacts to find the rightful owner, or hand it in to the police. If found in a restaurant or bar, you could also just hand the phone to the manager. But simply keeping the phone is stealing.
I've long believed that the way for linux to succeed on the desktop is to focus on one distribution only. Push the Ubuntu brand, rather than linux. We need a company like Apple, that makes it's own hardware and makes sure Ubuntu is optimised for it.
Geeks will still be able to install other distros, but for the mass-market, the confusion of different distros must disappear. Software vendors should only have to worry about packages for Ubuntu - if the community wants to create packages for other distros then fine.
As much as I hate to say it, we need software like Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop and iTunes ported. (I myself have an iPhone, and the non-iTunes alternatives are sketchy at best.) I know free alternatives exist, but linux won't be taken seriously until the major software packages are available. Games would be nice, but the Mac managed without them for years, so I see that as less important.
NELL's going to have a hell of a shock when it reads this page and realises it's just a machine.

Sounds just like the ZX Spectrum I had in the 80s.
