Well it doesn’t give UK post codes, but it was two counties out (said Cambridge), but you actual IP address could be almost anywhere with the way the UKs ISP structure goes.

I doubt there are many with a local ISP. There are lots of different ISPs but most of them piggyback of one of the main service providers.


They can’t find me … says my IP is in Georgia.


Mine shows up as Hickory, NC so they only missed it by about 40 miles. Im guessing that it shows hickory because that is where Charter’s Plant for our area is.

Mine got London right, although the little house is in the wrong place but close enough :slight_smile:

A Brief History Of Geeks

A geek is considered a technically oriented person. It has typically implied a ‘nerdy’ or ‘weird’ personality, someone with limited social skills who likes to tinker with scientific or high-tech projects. The origin of the term dates back to the late 1800s.
Before smartphones, social networks, and other must-have tech, it wasn’t a badge of honor to be called a geek.
Here’s a look back at the evolution of the nerds.

Intel fined record $1.45 billion

Not that my opinion matters but to me this is typical EU Bull.
It certainly doesn’t encourage being big in any field.
Free enterprise is a thing of the past.

On the same day Microsoft shipped a bundle of patches for gaping holes in its PowerPoint software,
Apple followed suit, dropping a monster Mac OS X update to correct 67 security vulnerabilities.

Well if this statement is correct then no bull but foul play, regardless of the size of the company.

Kroes said Intel had pursued a strategy aimed mainly at excluding AMD by paying computer makers and retailers to postpone, cancel or avoid AMD products entirely.

So your idea of free enterprise is fine to pay someone not to hold competitors products. I hold no torch for AMD, they are already between a rock and a hard place and currently not much of a threat to Intel. I would hate to see them go under as with no competition, we all lose, I remember just how expensive Intel processors used to be but competition brought that down.

I expect them to do the same crap to Microsoft just because they bundle IE with the OS. My question is, If they ship 7 without a browser, How are you suppose to go on line to download the browser of your choice? pure bull.

OpenWith.org

OpenWith.org provides detailed information about most file extension and links to free programs that can open and create each type of file. All of us at OpenWith.org have found ourselves helping our parents and friends open obscure file types time and time again, and decided that this information was best shared with everybody. There are plenty of great programs out there that will cost you hundreds of dollars to do what you need. What you probably don't know is that there is usually free software that is just as good. You just don't know about it.
