FIFY.

Re: "Home taping is killing music." printed on the sleeve of an 80s LP of mine

It's actually new technology killing old technology.

It happened to theatre and music halls, it happened to wireless and it happened to cinema. Now it's happening to TV and Libraries and in a few years it will have to happen to music.

If it doesn't, we will all be pirates.

It is similar to prohibition and the sex industry. You can pass laws to make it illegal for people to do what they like but you can't pass laws to stop people doing what they like.

Re: What is it about?

I am finding a lot of my searches these days tend to turn up items that have as much to do with distinctly different subjects -that I just happened to search for in recent history.

I find that very irritating.

As for Google being Google-centric that is something similar in that it limits my search parameters.

What I don't like about the person doing the dirty on Google is the woman who dropped the dime on McVeigh.

"She was a prominent litigator in the conviction of the Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. Her hiring by the FTC does not necessarily mean a formal case will be brought against the ad giant, however."

Apparently he kept his mouth shut when they found diesel and fertiliser on the farm he shared with his brother. That sounded very suspicious to me. It was a dot more to the Americanistanis though.

Did he live anywhere near Ruby Ridge or Waco?

What is a rubber stamper like Mz Wilkinson looking at Google for?

Is it to give them a carte blanche whilst we are looking the other way?

Re: Only Texts

How long is he supposed to keep texts on a mobile phone?

Until he was asked for them formally he had every right to delete them to make room for new messages or if (as someone on here said he) left the firm.

Re: Lies, dammed lies, and statistics

"10% of (one day) = 2.4 hours = 10% of users on average affected"

Nope.

2.4 hours is 10% of 24 hours; not 10% of the users.

Come fiendly fire and fall on them and RSVP back again.

You think telling a generation of hackers how to hack will protect a country from hackers?

How did you work that out?

If you train people how to hack, they will teach others how to hack. Soon everyone who want to know will know how to hack and thus ....

Well, think about it.

It is the plague of Thebes Oppenheimer was talking about when he learned of the Hydrogen bomb.

Re: I've said it before and I'll say it again ...

That is actually a good idea. It would mean writing a completely new internet though. No big deal I imagine now that we know how to do it. It isn't a big step for decent authorities to learn how to do it properly.

I for one would sign up for it if I had children.

Bur who would finance it?

Porn companies? Microsoft?? Google??? The Government????

No thanks!!

Re: It's my guess there are three types of assassin.

I wonder where I can get a couple of gallons of blood so I can test how quickly it disappears from animal agents in a forest clearing.

Odd that no you Tube Videos of that experiment have been posted. Or were they all disappeared by the UK's Mossad from Hereford?

Maybe they are planning ahead.

All the Asian workers not employed in the all night corner shops will go home to find work maybe as taxi drivers to the already employed over there. Or suppliers of westernised oriental peripatetic provisions.

Any idea what the hardware makers are likely to be in Munich -or Germany for that matter.?

So how many IR addresses are going to be handed over?

All?

All suspected?

What happens with the information after that?

I wouldn't want anyone with a porn reputation or any affiliates having anything remotely connected to me. So How do I know they never have any information on me?

Off on a tangent:

Apparently there is a 16 year old lad in detention under the USA's Patriot act, who has no redress to a court of law asking them to prove the evidence against him.

He has been held in secret for weeks with no lawyer.

How long before he breaks down?

And that sort of thing could happen here.

Re: Shame about coal

What exactly caused the end of life for the coal power stations?

I thought the furnaces had fire-brick linings that got replaced every now and then.

Even with a plant melt-down a few welders could replate the things in a week or two, couldn't they?

With modern techniques the idea of picks and shovels is a bit old hat. Some bods have come up with the idea of macerating coal seams and dredging them up with nobody sub-surface. That can't be a bad idea. Should that take off the whole concept of not having enough oil to ruin the planet also dies in the womb.

France has been trolling?

Is this anything to do with the populace having selected a politician who didn't let George Bush stick his hand up their collective bottom?

dumbass, we have the internet

It isn't free. You need a special machine a bit like a televion crossed with a typwriter and a telephone and we can sell you one for 1000 dollars and 99 cents.

If Bill Gates could do it and put IBM in the toilet, a multi-million pound, highly esteemed international company should have had no problem.

Computers cost, in those far off days, the same price as a complete set of encyclopaedias.

It should have been a no-brainer.

Once again proof is provided that money and experience multiplied by all the knowledge in the world aren't worth a good original idea and a pocket full of wisdom.

Serves him up

"I can't think of a lower, evil and harmful way bringing someone down."

I can:

Torturing a witness to give evidence against an accused man.

Not so evil is coercing a witness by offering them a deal > 10 year or 300 hours.

I am not sayine who is right or wrong, the judge and jury had that job. All I am saying is that someone's evidence wasn't unbiased.

Was it!

Re: What a pity Kodak never thought of patenting a graphical representation...

Like negatives, you mean?

They did, didn't they?

In fact many a professional photographer would have a cheapo camera along side his top of the range machine set up to give him a first taste.

Re: iPad2 = Cray Weatherforecasting

Forecasting the weather would be the REAL test.

THe data is available online at NOAA and related sites worldwide in Reanalysis files called GRIB for the old stuff. I don't have a clue how you'd set up a model run from that basic initiation set-up though.

However with the charts you draw you could check how well your models did from the next grib in the series.

Or you could just call up the charts as required.
