The point is that you can work as many hours as you choose.

I very much doubt they make 5 bucks a month per user. Maybe 5c.

Am I the only one that finds appeals to donate actually more irritating that adverts?

FWIW, It's better to stick to the facts rather than spreading even more FUD - "sell it's users searches to amazon" Ubuntu is not "selling" your searches to amazon. Ubuntu will only…

Outside hospital workers, you'd be hard pressed to find many in the UK that even know what a pager is, let alone someone who has one.

A simple nokia from 10 years ago or so will run for a week on a charge. It's only modern phones with massive screens, GPS, etc that eat battery.

They also use pagers. Crazy.

It's surprising your comment hasn't been down-voted to oblivion. It's so factually incorrect.

No, because most cellphones/iPods etc will be subject to scammers. These devices are absolutely simple for scammers to work with. They're high value, cheap to post, and can easily …

One bad incident out of millions doesn't set a precedent.

For the UK there's http://www.envirofone.com/ or http://www.mazumamobile.com/ or http://www.fonebank.com/ amongst others. I've used the first 2 with excellent results. Obviously yo…

Odd. I'm using google DNS, so maybe they're "blocking" it via dns.

> " If youre thinking of selling an expensive item on eBay, think again. " I would say, this type of fraud is exclusively targeted at cellphones, ipods, netbooks etc. If you're sel…

FWIW, I'm on BT and it's not blocked here.

I expect us (UK) to withdraw from the EU in the next few years, so hopefully it'll become irrelevant.

The worst implementations "drop down" a message at the top of the page to tell me they're using cookies. This invariably happens just as I'm clicking on a link. The link moves, and…

I want advertising. It tells me about things I might like. You're perhaps one of the very very few people who dislike being told about things, but thankfully you're in the minority…

You could say the same about IE6 users.

Realistically it's probably <0.01% of users.

This is a horrible misfeature. Often, I select bits of an email, to copy and paste elsewhere to check things. Then I hit reply, and wonder why only the currently selected text is t…

Wouldn't it be fairly trivial to have an automated system to call the caller back (Verify that they aren't spoofing the caller ID)? eg 1. Caller phones in 2. System looks at caller…

Because there's a sucker born every minute.

> "The fact that they had an idea, built it and executed their vision successfully enough that another company bought them out are the bits that matter." As far as I remember, it w…

IMHO you might want to reassess your idea of success. Having a great family life, bringing up children, enjoying each day. Those are good measures of success.

Central London is a massive city. Obviously there's a shit-ton of CCTV there. It's in no way typical of the UK though.
