Hmm

Sounds a bit like the whole ID card database to me...

Wow

If you think 8g2 and 8g1 are bad you should see 8g3. Now they're a bunch of right little cunts.

Men only

22 signatures so far, all male! I don't know what that tells you but it tells you something!

If they're doing this in Europe...

...I can see another anti-trust coming on.

What the hell?

This has been running for around 2 years, non?

@Paul Naylor

I might be wrong but surely Diet Coke doesn't have much Glucose or Fructose in it so it wouldn't really apply?

Hmm

Surely there's a difference between moderation of content and moderation of comments?

Anyway, I don't see why they can't allow YouTube to moderate the comments. Surely they do that already?

Errr...

"all persons entering the premises".

I imagine it says "all patrons" or something similar. There will be exemptions in it.

How

How did a piece about police officers putting down violent protest turn into commentry on being able to film children?!

Hmm...

I tried very hard to watch the new BSG but it lost me somewhere near the end of series 3 when it had 12 episodes about nothing and it turned out that EVERYONE were Cylons!

Eh?

I'm not too sure how you would go about getting naked pictures onto Facebook. I mean unless you actually put them in your photo albums then how would you get them on there?

hmm

Sounds like an excuse to let her go without having to make her redundant!

What are the odds...

Still, what are the odds of two submarines coincidentally colliding in a body of water that big. After all Britain and France both only have one submarine at sea at any one time. The only way they could have hit would be if they were patrolling the exact same route, which is pretty likely since the British and French submarines share patrol routes?

Not really home

It's not really Lando's home, just where his Cloud City mining enterprise is based...

Hmm

However much I love Be (and I do) I think they are doing some sort of throttling. My pings go from 40ms during the day to around about 100ms from 6PM until 1AM. This only started dramatically last Monday Evening (you would see a slight effect before but nothing so drastic). It seems a bit suspect that people from all over the country have seen their latency increase, all around the same time (early last week). Unless Be have taken on a load of new customers overnight then they're upto something.

Still though... better than Tiscali or Virgin Media, who I have used before. I've been nothing but ecstatic about my Be connection up until now...

Hmm

I hope they don't pull these as the HomePlugs I've bought are probably the most reliable networking means I've found in a good while. Wireless is crap.

Not too bad...

I don't think it's too bad really, I'm sure the BBC version of this article stated that on average people receive 85% of what their line is capable of which isn't really that terrible. Network congestion is the issue that needs to be sorted out.

Hmm

UKTV History... is that the one that only airs until about 6PM now and primarily shows Tenko?

Yes!

Miniature elephants is the way forward. Personally, I want one that will fit in my palm and can compete with my tortoise in sporting events.

Hehe

The joke got a chuckle from me...

Hmm

The internet itself doesn't improve reading but regular typing on a keyboard certainly helps writing skills.

Errm

There's always open days and stuff going on at our local fire station (Maidstone, Kent). I think everyone is blowing this far out of proportion... it's just a thing saying they should build better looking fire stations!

Hmm

Are Nintendo bottom again because they didn't return the form again? I'm sure a console such as the Wii which consumes a tenth of the power of the 360/PS3 must been seen as more friendly?

Ah

As a quick geek reference... the new series daleks are bigger than the old series ones.

Hmm

I'm on 8Mbps VM ADSL and generally pull 5.5Mbps. Sometimes it goes slow and can hit 1.5/2Mbps. Once or twice those it has ground down to like 100kbps

Bah

Nintendo aren't strumming up demand and making shortages... they're redistributing shipments meant for Europe, it just happens Wiis aren't selling on the continent. There is stock coming into the UK daily, it's just in very high demand. Amazon UK puts on like 1000 per day so they're defo coming in.

The important thing...

The important thing is to work out if these recent deaths have also been drink/drugs related. Until recently I remember it being stated that you could only die from a Taser if you were on a cocktail of drugs! Is that no longer seen as true?

For God's sake...

It's a trial people. And it's a trial that the Met obviously didn't want. Our police are proud to be the ones that diffuse situations without weapons. The only reason the Met is part of the trial is that if they're not then they can't slag Tazers off after the trial.

Wow

A "Professor of Forecasting and Innovation", eh? Wow.

Bah

Living over a mile away from school? That makes you within the closest 20% then? I lived about 3 miles from school and still walked. But I know people that lived 10/12/15 miles from school (and this is a town school, not countryside).

It's simple. Kids can take mobiles/iPods/whatever to school, but if they go off then they get them taken away!

Gene Simmons...

...what a cock face.

Yes...

...trees are renewable but only if we plant as many as we cut down! Currently we're not and seem to have no intentions of doing so.

A couple of thoughts...

Maybe she didn't see the minus sign at first and then having been shamed decided to be a complete 'tard and try and dispute it? I wouldn't put it past Camelot to put a really tiny miniscule minus sign to try and confuse people.

Negative numbers still are taught in primary school. It just happens that some people are thickos!
