Many years and pounds ago, I rode bicycles. There was one guy who wore spandex that almost looked like fishnet it was stretched so tight.

LOL! 
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Because these days it is not even strange for a sports shop to have an escalator
|

The Dick's Sporting Goods store at my local mall has an escalator. When the store was originally built, there was a climbing wall between the up and down escalators.

Hi All
<< rant mode >> My parents are moving again and muggins has to set up the WiFi, Sky Box and other things again. Called BT (now there are BT Open Reach ports all about the new place!) 'umm no the earlest you can be connected is Jan the 4th, there are no BT lines laid there, would you like to cut your mobile bill'. There are hard lines laid to the place, is it worth phoning again on Monday to see if it's still the 4th or not, the guy sounded like a mobile sales man to me! << /rant mode >>(Possibly Saturday cover not really on that desk)...

Call Sky's Moving Home Service. They have a much better grasp on what's what than BT I've found in the past. They can arrange reconnection directly too especially if you're already using SkyTalk.
|
|
|
|
|
Not every supplier will take this long, even when they also use OpenReach.
|
|

If you think about it, that's not as bad as it sounds: it's only about 1 1/2 working weeks if you think about the extended Christmas break and associated bank holidays.
Not that I'm used to defending BT - generally they are useless - but in this case it's reasonable(ish).
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

What extended break? Christmas Day and New Year's Day are Fridays, the Bank Holiday will be on the following Mondays. For services like BT there will be full working Tuesday through Thursday of both weeks.
|
|
|
|
|
Which is only 3/5ths of the usual service - and a lot of people save annual leave to get a eleven day break for the cost of three days off!
[edit]
And I'm yet to be convinced that BT have ever offered a "full working service"

Well yeah. That's why I suggest bypassing them altogether as I have for the last half dozen moves.

Hmm matter of interest do you have a BT line or Sky?
|
|
|
|
|
Line rental and telephone service go to Sky but all land line hardware is BT Open Reach's responsibility ultimately. When a repair was necessary here to a broken socket it was Open Reach who had to be summoned by Sky.

Why does Google have so many open proxies, they are elite, https, and just sitting there flapping in the breeze?

Honey pots did occur to me, no profit in it though.

The obvious 'answer' is "why not?"

The cost in bandwidth, the reason-whats the profit reason? There are too many of them to be a security oversite.

Despite the EU's slippery grasp on reality not everything Google does is for profit (shouldn't really have to point that out when the whole thing is predicated on cost free services to users but ...). They already have servers dispersed across the world to provide localised services and back-up for each other. Why not use them to provide a little extra service too? It certainly makes more sense than having a small number constantly over-subscribed surely?

Premise;
People who use proxy's are evil.
Google is evil.
Google has open proxies to spy on evil people. When they come out of the proxy tunnel their http accesses and traffic are recorded and for sale to various organizations (insert "organization" here that may be interested). What GoogleAd and GoogleAnalytics hooked scripts don't grab the google proxy does.

Now here I am doing the morning download of emails and get the gem below.
I was pretty sure the net had evolved past the scams of yester-year but I got this:
Quote: Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Christopher Wilmot and it is my wish to solicit your assistance in investment collaboration/partnership in your country. Meanwhile I have emailed you earlier but to no response from you.
In my first email I mention about an abandoned sum of ($26,700,000.00) that belong to a deceased customer here in my bank.
I am ready to invest this fund with you in any sector such as manufacturing, agriculture, real estate, hotel business that can bring in good turnover at expected time
This will be of great benefit to both of us and I cannot achieve this without
your support, therefore I need your cooperation to receive this fund after which you will be eligible for 50% of the total amount, while 50% will be mine.
kindly respond direct to my private email (chritopherwilmot202@outlook.com)for more information and please delete if you are not interested.
Sincerely,
From Christopher Wilmot
Now I am wondering if that cousin who died intestate has carked it again and that Nigerian Prince wants to give me money for using my bank account! (Learn to spell western names for the Email address)
