not that difficult

never mind fancy onscreen reset menus or glovebox buttons, just ask the question when you connect a new phone, new owner or additional driver.

as for older cars and simplicity, then anything pre ~2002 with only the most basic on board computers. or, better still, something with a carburetter, no sensors to break, no catalytic converter to fail and no computers or ECU. Yes, things can and do still fail, but you don't need an electronics degree to fix, just a spanner and a screwdriver

haven't ad's died yet?

I really don't understand the business model of websites that rely on adverts for revenue.

Nobody looks at them, nobody clicks on them, apart from by mistake when another ad loads and pushes the link you were trying to click on, to some other part of the screen.

It just seems like pyramid selling to me, a vicious circle. Lets just cut the chain and have done with it. If the content was actually worth anything then we wouldn't mind paying for it!

If I see a page that denies access because I refuse to load ads or accept a million cookies, then tough, i'll just go some place else

bit late

the story is cold, facebook have got their facts straight and everything is buried/forgotten that needs to be

surely

if the human driver needs to be fully aware and engaged just in case, then they may as well be actually driving, it will be just as tiresome, if not more so.

how about the autopilot pays attention for that just in case scenario? computers are really good at that! and if they gave a brief warning before doing so, there would be some opportunity for a sanity check on both sides

█████████ ███ in ██████ ███ a ██████.

Deep Space Gateway

Sounds like a gateway to the stars to me, or, Stargate for short, has a certain ring to it

android vs android

it would be great if manufacturers didn't mess with android and bundle their own unmaintained versions. fine if they want to bundle apps on top, feel free, but let users receive patches direct from google as soon as they are released. just like you do with every other operating system out there

can anyone tell me why ADSL2+ (up to 24Mbps) is no longer available? Up to 17Mbps seems to be the best ADSL speed offered

"You might not be scared of cryptic syntax errors, but many 12-year-olds are. "

and they will continue to be until they're exposed to it! if they're not exposed to it at an early age, many will remain scared of it, opting for the instant gratification instead, because its easier and mostly done for you

will they keep him on life support/stasis so he can see it through??

if this is true...

then the word 'species' is meaningless, as is intent

its unfair to treat a monkey like a human, in the same way it is to treat a human as a rabbit or snail. The only right we all share is to the planet we all cohabit.

are we saying the monkey intend to take a picture of itself?

if the judgement goes against slater, then the next time an animal causes a weapon to discharge resulting in the death of a human. that animal should then be arrested and sent to trial for murder with intent! or would PETA say that was silly?

“It could reasonably be mistaken as a device if left in a bathroom or under a car...."

Really?

I've got a rucksack with me right now, I carry my lunch in it.

If I placed it in a bathroom or under a car, it could reasonably be mistaken as a device... I'd best turn myself in...

wheres the IT link?

i must have missed it

probably because of the stench..

the who is important

you shouldn't blindly ignore who the perpetrator is, hopefully it may become obvious while investigating how. merely, the investigation into who, shouldn't get in the way of how.

my reasoning, i wouldn't be happy to learn the person i hired to repair my boiler was the same person who had earlier stole my last tin of beans!

if someone had plucked my customer database, i wouldn't be happy to find i'd later employed that person, or said person had been employed by a competitor in ignorance of the theft, for example

"At the end of that chat, the modest restaurant said its credit card machine was broken and Cunningham said he had no cash..."

In todays so-called cashless society, whats a guy supposed to do?

maybe the next addition could be a 'how many antenna can you use' as part of the initial handshake, then data won't be needlessly spewed out when its not being received. surely that has to be more efficient?

if we expend vast amounts of time, effort and resources killing eachother in war and terrorism etc (not to mention animals for sport/fun), i'm sure we wouldnt think twice about blowing up any alien species that came within range - if they are clever enough to get here, they're smart enough to stay away

forward thinking

looks like ebola.co.uk was thought of in 2008... makes you wonder...

"We hit our peak confidence and understanding of digital communications and technology when we are in our mid-teens; this drops gradually up to our late 50s and then falls rapidly from 60 and beyond," Ofcom said.

i'm more interested on how 20-30somethings 'now' will fare when they reach retirement age - will they struggle with new tech? or be able to adapt easier and quicker because its a process already learned?

wrong trousers?

wearable devices that not only receive data from your body, but transmit to it also!!

so if you are decided to be unfit, we'll make you walk an extra 100 steps! prevent your mouth from accepting more food!!

resistance is futile

sounds like the phase coupler is out of sync with the ion manipulation matrix!

sorry, i got stuck at "First of all, let's look at the crash..."

but i'm sure the article was well written and informative! however i'm not au fait with disassembling software to debug it :(

water? or fluid?

that'll teach him to wee in his suit!!

maybe we should follow suit..

with regard to country specific TLD's, and, like many other countries, demand anyone withing to register a .co.uk be a uk resident or a uk registered company

then Google UK (google.co.uk) would have some answerability - if they dont like UK rules then they can stop using it and we can go back to google.com!

if its on by default..

then they are at liberty to change and update the terms of the filtering without asking, because you have already agreed to it. a bit like when your bank changes its terms and conditions

what about folks without children? surely they dont need parental controls? surely its instulting to be assumed to be a parent? what about folks who *can't* have kids?

that said, they can and will filter whatever they choose. they don't have to tell us - the reason they do, is to win political brownie points

theres a lot they don't tell us though, because its 'in the nations best interest' not to. internet censoring is no different.

you can't miss what you don't know about afterall!

what is porn?

material designed to arouse/cause sexual excitement

we should ban pictures of ferrari's, ducati's, lamborghini's etc

i'm sorry dave,,,,

i'm afraid i can't allow you to do that.

i'm confused...

with the search term 'ebay' they will always be at the top because they are the only company with that name. the same goes for john lewis.

however, personally, if i want to purchase something from ebay, i'll search within the ebay site, not google. the same goes for other shops.
