Why

I have to ask why the details were even on a laptop and needed to be moved around in the first place?

bottleneck?

So everyone has a superfast connection and decides to use it each evening when they get home from work. What kind of connection do they have coming into Bournemouth?

thinking of Nixon

It was accepted that his secretary accidentally wiped 15 mins of incriminating evidence from a tape. So with that as a precedence forgetting to rescan the documents after printing them should be ok and keep you out of jail!

silly me for suggesting....

... but maybe instead of auctioning it off it could have just been opened up.

The main reason we have such huge companies who have so much power over us is due to the massive entry costs into these businesses, only a large company which can dominate us can ever afford the amounts required!

I want to be ignored....

So i signed the petition.

Perhaps I buy the dish and run SETI from my garden. Cut out the middle man.

They are a joke

I just moved house and needed a new BT line. The woman on the phone was very nice, went through everything with me, then finally announced it would be £18 per month. I asked why line rental was suddenly so expensive (had been with Cable & wireless before) and she told me it was cos i got free calls included. I no, I don't use the phone hardly I'm out all day.

"Ok she says, that'll be £15 a month." Again i had to ask why line rental was so expensive. This option had free evening and weekend calls included. So again i had to tell her no, I just want the line.

I can only imagine how many people don't question it and just pay the £18 a month, even if they are out all day and never make a peak rate phone call from home. What a joke!

Pay the agreed price

Why can't the Govt. just pay the price they agreed on? Any over spend is picked up by the contractor.

The bidding process looks flawed to me. Seems they put in silly low bid, then increase it later and the Govt. generally pays. The Govt. needs to get strict and stop giving in!

they really will sue anyone!

I hope they give him the death penalty for this. For too long God has messed around in our affairs.

On the other hand if you don't believe in God and are asked to swear on bible to tell the truth can you legally lie?

deadly deviation

"Thankfully, because she followed instructions as required, she ended up in a cell as opposed to the morgue," Pare said. "Had she not followed the instructions, deadly force may have been used."

Now even a stop at a toilet can get you killed in the US!

Title

With such serious bandwidth limits from most ISPs isn't it a bit much to ask us to share each of the files? Why can't we just download it from the BBC and watch it, instead of slowing down out net access and eating away at such small bandwidth limits.

hard work

At least he's working hard for it and not just been given it.

I hate ceremonies where they give away a PhD to someone famous. The work needed for a PhD is huge, whereas been famous on TV seems quite easy nowadays.

Good on him for the hard work.

platform independant

Instead of making it work on each operating system why not just make it platform independent. ATM this can be easily achieved using Java.

meh

I don't understand why they are trying to make the London Olympics into a brand. Why does everything have to be a brand? Why not just the taking part and the sense of uniting the world?

This just proves the Olympics are just money making schemes now, there for profit and no longer for the joy of representing your nation.
