This case is a frightening example of what can happen when someone encounters ignorant bullies with badges. According to the complaint filed in a US Federal Court.
Epic Fail.
Site not loading, or failing to find any postcode, town or city. HTML validation errors. I guess they were on a tight budget now that the coalition has laid waste to their funding.
Embarrassing for the retarded developer Rock Kitchen Harris.
Mind you for the £300,000 it apparently cost then I guess they can sit in the south of France sipping a cool one feeling as red-faced as they like.
Can I have one of these for my birthday please, pretty please.
Yo, ho ho and a bottle of rum. Those pirates sure have it easy.
You know how it is – before your movie, there are 3 or 4 previews, commercials, ads for Blu-ray, and government warnings that can take forever to get through. And some DVDs even prevent you from skipping the previews, even if you press the Menu button.
UPDATE:
Here’s a remote-control trick to skip past those annoying ads: simply press the Stop button twice, and then Play. So, Stop, Stop, Play.
This trick should work on any DVD player, and hopefully it will keep you from wasting your time watching previews you don’t wish to watch.
The subject of the talk is absolutely fascinating and that way it is presented is very engaging.
This lively RSA Animate, adapted from Dan Pink’s talk at the RSA, illustrates the hidden truths behind what really motivates us at home and in the workplace.
When I saw this I imagined it is how the Large Hadron Collider works.
Martin’s dad Brian makes him sandwiches each morning to take to college for lunch. There are three types of sandwich to add variety, one of which is salami. This routine has gone on for many months.
Brian has, in the recent weeks, changed the salami. The new salami is more ‘fatty’ and Martin doesn’t like it so much. Rather than informing dad of this he chooses to dispose of the salami sandwiches in his wardrobe. Communicating with dad isn’t easy – he shouts and moans a lot.
Julie, who cleans for Brian and family, doesn’t clean Martin’s room because it’s normally such a mess. Therefore the salami isn’t discovered as soon as Health and Safety might prefer. A odour develops.
When the salami is eventually discovered altercation and bickering engulf the bazaar of the bizarre.
The episode raises questions:
Was Martin dropped on his head as a child?
Has Brian no culinary imagination?
Does Martin know where the fridge is?
Might Brain prefer an extra 10 minutes in bed in the morning?
Real names changed to… you know the drill.
UPDATE: According to Martin’s mom Susan, pensionable salami sandwiches were also found in Martin’s kit bag…
If you got excited recently about the EU enforced drop in prices for roaming phone call, text and data prices then calm down, it’s not what it seems.
Thinking that I was only going to be charged the new capped prices of €1 per Mb I decided to use my iPhone for 3G data whilst in France. When the bill arrived I had been charged £2.50 per Mb.
A call to O2 was, as usual with any operator, a quite un-fulfilling experience with the individual on the other end indicating that data hadn’t dropped in price – but she didn’t know why.
After some Googling it turns out the €1 cap is a limit on what the mobile network operators can charge each other – they can of course continue to charge their customers what the hell they like.
Shame Ofcom don’t insist the operator make this a bit more clear.
Seems the BBC also mis-understood the changes – as they state in this article “The cost of transferring a megabyte of data is capped at one euro”.
Jeez!
