This is not true, the guidance is: "one form of exercise a day, for example a run, walk, or cycle - alone or with members of your household" There is no time limit on how long you can be out exercising for.

This is not entirely true, not all agencies teach a Controlled Emergency Swimming Ascent (CESA). From memory the only one that teaches this is PADI.

Most don't as this is not a very effective or safe way of getting up once you get bellow a few M of water.

Most agency's will teach you to do an Alternate Source assent where you come up breathing of your buddy's air source, as this allows you to come up at a safer and more controlled rate.

Id say it comes down to the way cave diving in Briton is largely different from that of mainland Europe. So even on site the British cave divers would see the approach as different to the Europeans

In Briton cave diving is largely done to move between flooded sections of dry cave, so most cave divers are dry cavers first, and diving is just used to bypass sumps.

Also most British cave diving is done solo (so without a buddy that most systems recommend.) in quite tight conditions.

Caves in mainland Europe tend to be larger and the diving philosophy is different. There you will find team diving prevalent.

so the minority of users, seeing as 2/3rd of the population don't live in a Urban and suburban area.

I live in a Rural area in the UK, i have a 20 mile commute to work, and its 6 miles to the nearest city. There is 2 bus services that run though the "town" I live in both run one an hour and take about about an hour to to get anywhere useful.

I would be unable to work, and get around without a car, I live where i do because it was one of the few places i could afforded to buy a house in the area that I live, that was also close enough to where i work.

If they want to get rid of fossil fuel cars, then by 2040 they need to have far longer range than they do now. To me that seems to be far more important than public transport.

im a dyslexic, and i started at uni doing a programming degree, I then switched off it (not due to my dyslexia, but lousing a passion for it once I was no longer doing it for run.)

I had no problem programming with dyslexia, as I found after repeating world long enough i learnt them (and being form the UK, a lot of programming terms are spellet incorrectly anyway.)

When it came to documentation it just took me a bit longer to insure that it was readable by everyone else on the team. But that's something that is done for any job i do.

I'm sure they everyone on a team you work for loves the fact you a condescending and see that someone with a disability is lower then you, and is not capable of doing the job as good as you.

I have seen plenty of code, and comments that was done by people who don't have dyslexic that is a mess. Bad coding is not just the domain of people who are unable to spell.

Opensuse technically has two rolling models, The first being Factory which contains bleeding edge software that will is considered to be unstable. The second is Tumbleweed which just pushes updated Stable software.

Factory is manly for developers to test on and isn't rely for day to day use.

Tumbleweed can be used for day to day use, you just have to be aware that things can break.

I wouldn't say there was any social engineering here, they asked for some detail's the hacker was able to give them.

This just highlights the problem of having accounts that rely in the same email address that are used for identification.

Also im not sure how the author experts someone to add 5 temp accounts to bypass the Microsoft support, when you would need to have the password and have logged in to add them. In which case there already in the account and wouldn't need to contact Microsoft. (unless there is a way to add Skype contacts without being logged in.)

IT's not Amazon selling the item directly, its from the Amazon market place. Which makes it likely that when ever the merchant put in a price they made a mistake.

As fare as I remember the 4th indie bundle didnt have donations for EFF, as the charity are generally voted for by the developers.

also they have done none cross playform bundles before (with some of there android bundles.)

why not take this for what it is, the chance to pick up some decent games for cheep, and supporting eather a charity or a struggling games company who make some good games.

After reading down a few comments on the article you see that the write is talking about Virgin Mobile in the UAS, as someone in Australia points out that this doesn't work.

It would be nice if the writer of the article would have said that they where talking about Virgin Mobile US, as Virgin Mobile are a multi national company.

if you read the page he says he cut the video down a bit, and also recorded some of the clips to fit them in to categories and not the order he record them.

That could explain why some of the results have other things shown when he closes them.

This comes from them only having one TOS for all there services, it means it must cover everything from maps to YouTube.

Also as its been pointed out in the comets on the artical, Google need the right to publish you works if wish to share a document with someone, as Google are effectively publishing it for you.

The comments on the aritcal also make the good point that the TOS is taken out of context and sounds a lot worse than it is.

If you go down on the kick starter page, they say that they have a prototype, and the funding is for: "- Production tooling - Large component order - Global Bluetooth certification"

so it looks like the funding is to take it from a working prototype to the finished product.
