Re: Ahhh Jersey

oh c'mon, who doesn't have a sense of humour!!!

Re: Sir

I once wore a T-shirt by Stussy, which has a picture of a gun on it, which morphs into a trumpet with the word "Peace" being blown out of it..

I was stopped at Heathrow and told that I cannot wear this t-shirt on to my flight... I had to ask for the "senior" security person to come along and explain to the other security bod that there was no issue with me wearing this t-shirt....

If they'd made me take it off, I wonder if I'd have been done for indecent exposure (of my moobs!)

Re: "what's the justification to increase the surveillance?"

That's where you are mistaken...

This only applies to the plebs, the bourgeoisie are free to continue their hedonistic ways unabated...

In one fell swoop, the entire population of the UK have been classes as terrorists and paedophiles - time to ship the lot to the counterweight continent methinks (oh wait, that was tried before)...

but..but..but..

that would ruin big brother... or I'm an unknown "celeb", get me the f*** outa here...

we can't have that...

I think you've got the wrong end of the stick there mate. It's all about the context in which such terms are used - "Brit" has never been used in any derogatory context, where as the other word has. Just like many other commonly frowned upon words...

Blame history, not double standards...

On the other hand, it is a daft idea - people will simply move to other expressions which imply the same thing - they can't control free thinking (at least not yet...)...

because it's the merkins, common sense is not an option if there's a technology solution to it..

see now

that was more funnier than the joke! I didn't find any of the remotely funny... I guess there's a reason why this is "fringe"...

there should be a law

no religion before 18.

oh crap..

I'm off the Portugal in the summer and was thinking of driving...

while I tend to agree generally...

I have to say that an "individual" may be rational and sensible (except the folk who form their opinions based on the crap in the daily wail), unfortunately as a collective, "people" are pretty stupid and gullible...

So yes, there are a sensible few, like the ones piping up here in rage, but it only takes a stupid few to get something like this out of control... (case in point: this particular campaign made it through to a public broadcast!)

There are are so many parallels going back in history, it's scary... And what's more scary is that these senior nitwits who approved this campaign, should have been in the "sensible majority" - but clearly weren't, and more importantly, clearly not aware of history!

So, I say, what we need to do send the fucking idiots responsible for this cockup (and any future ones) on a GCSE course in History!

are you Steve Jobs in disguise?

Seriously though... you need to get your head out of your arse... there is a valid point being raised here if you put the Apple/Adobe shite aside - HTML5...

The problem with these so called "standards" is that they really aren't, a lot is left to the interpretation of various vendors (no surprise there as they are behind the whole shebang), and we have the current situation where each vendor has its own interpretation of the "vague" parts of the standard.

The W3C needs to man up here, and remove any vagaries from the standard, constraining vendors to specific technologies - of course this will never happen, if they did the vendors will go away and no cushy jobs at the W3C...

The situation will be worse than when the original HTML specs came out, at least then you had the IE way of doing things and the Mosaic way of doing things, now we're going to have Safari/Chrome/Mozilla/IE/Opera, each purporting to support standards but in reality, it's their own interpretation of the standards. End result, miserable lives for web developers, so in reality, they are not better off...

Who cares about developers, it's the end user experience that matters I hear you say... This type attitude really is bollocks, innovation will suffer as developers will have to focus instead on getting consistency across platforms, so it will be the end user that suffers long term... And what's going to happen, well Adobe (or something similar) will release a product which will work consistently across all browsers..

oh wait...

HTML5 = EPIC FAIL

no, it's the give a group of monkeys a typewriter

method of generating news....

The dictionary these days seem to be limited to facecrap, twatter and iShite plus basic dictionary...

Who's really trusts a wanker with a name that sounds like the American bastardisation of cucumber with their personal data anyway? And if they do, they deserve everything headed their way...

... okay, I'll ease up on the caffeine...
