..will buy iPhones as feverishly as the buy BMWs and Mercedess."
assuming you mean Mercedes then if you ever bought one of those over priced pieces of crap then you'd know you were talking utter BOLLOCKS
go ahead & buy a western badged, over priced piece of crap made in cheap labour countries (to the major detriment of workers there) but please don't fool yourself about the quality eh?
wish I had a £1 (or €1.20) for every iPhone user I had heard screaming at their phone for being unable to pick up a call / hold onto a call
TBH if my Nokia 6210 had BT (for hands free car use) it would never have left my side, I have a basic BB now and does all I need - BT connection / battery life / address push / basic calendar functions, just a shame it doesn't go all week without charging
I enjoy many of your posts but the reality here is that on line ordering in the UK means you get only the oldest fresh stuff about to blow its sell by date
I got loads of 'free delivery' vouchers some years ago (my town was a 'test' location) - gave to my wife with our small baby but she got sick of the crap they delivered to us and got in her car to get better stuff
(FYI I got lots of vouchers as *I* wasn't using them - great IT system eh?)
PS now we use a great farm shop even closer, shame our supermarkets in the UK are so useless
that they have a UK warehouse, that could make then a bit uncomfortable :D
in fairness I have been a play.com customer for many, many years with with only ever one problem which was quickly resolved unlike many UK based businesses (yes Scan I'm looking at you you bunch twunts - not seen me in a long while have you?)

there are people who spend some of their own time talking to and educating various groups (really, there are, I know some of these people)
or if you feel so strongly about this subject you could get into hurting these low life ***** back, 419eater.com is a good place to start and to get help to learn how to do this effectively but ethically
quite a few companies have lost my business because of switching to PP, they probably don't care because their costs are lower (and sales as well obviously, but no bean counter measures that)
and yes my bank is just as bad at not following their own advice about links <sigh>
of these 'safety cameras' are there outside schools?
I'd guess it won't make much change when rounding to nearest 1/10th of a percent *
* a motoring organisation I was a member of a few years ago did this survey - we found 3 over several weeks of searching that were outside schools, dunno what the present figure will be though in the reported 3500 fixed cameras we now have - not many more I suspect
arse he maybe, Apple is a totally scummy (sp?) company, but a genius he defo is & would I work for him, hmm not likely . . would I enjoy his company over dinner? of course I would !
and I've said before on here - he is still a human being and I wish him good health, really I do
but I will NEVER buy an Apple product and I hate with vengeance that utter cr*p that is iTunes - please don't tell me that Apple know how to write software, OK?
we just spent a week at Le Mans and the CRS are much nicer & certainly more controlled - really!
there again they are properly trained
yes the CRS armed and have a fearsome reputation from times past but in our experience they do focus on bad stuff (and I do mean FOCUS) and really turn a big blind eye to all sorts of silly behaviour by race fans many of whom (you may find this hard to believe) have had a few too many beers
the petty attitude of the Met is at the other end of the scale, glad I don't live down south !
. . . . I had a pension fund - thanks for that Gordon
Though at least I am no longer ruled by a funch* of failed Scottish politicians who couldn't get elected even running against that snidey idiot Alex Salmond
as a dedicated 100% non-PB user all of this is noise in the system, I'd simply say let's face the REAL basic truth here . . . (these are UK scenarios, OK?)
CD revenue has tanked because ;
1) the supermarkets have driven the retail price down from £16 - £18 per unit to £7 - £9 each
2) the labels went to sleep & let Apple steal their revenue stream
DVD revenue has tanked because;
3) retail price point is no longer >£25 each (see #1 above idiots)
4) rentals are cheap, real cheap (BTW are you awake yet Sky? no?? thought not!)
simple basic economics, ignore the market trends and your balls get crushed
but at the end of the day they must be immensely profitable to waste millions on lawyers, so do I worry about the poor darlings? nah
do buy their 'products'? nup"
am I interested in their latest 'pop sensation'? PMSL not really
that having been said - please keep going PB, I do need something to watch with my beer & popcorn and you provide GREAT soap opera :)
> and businesses still can't guarantee all their business critical applications will run perfectly in Windows 7 due to the large changes in technology between the two versions
that will be a business with out any sort of BC or DR plan then?
those sort of f**k wit run businesses deserve to fail
(and that's not just the small / medium sized ones either, just ones without any kind of effective audit oversight board = so most banks then!)

"it's only a phone love"
would you take advice?
from someone who clearly can't write grammatically correct English?
it's time then
. . . . to "adjust" the historical measurements down (again) to make it look like we had even worse warming last year
well it fooled people last time & some idiot got a Nobel prize, so why not again?
not Notes?
of course not, because then security wouldn't be an item for discussion

not as far as I can see
twunts
since the Sony root kit incident I have never bought a piece of anything from Sony
and my first Sony kit was bought in 1973 and much more since, so until recently I have been a loyal customer - way to go Sony!

you mean "etc." I think - there fixed that for you, unfortunately the rest of your post I ignored due to general ignorance :)

who gives a shit?
they awarded one to Al Gore (OK, jointly with IPCC) - so this is meaningless POS organisation
Norwegians (and Swedes to some extent) should hang their heads in shame at the political pawn it has become

awesome
only thing is there's probably someone try to sell one of these already to the government

seriously definitely a case of YMMV as this version is much more stable for me

horrible
new layout? not sure yet, but had to reduce font several steps to make it usable on my laptop
but "My News & Weather Location" functionality is totally f^H^H^H^H^Hbroken;
- doesn't recognise post codes now
- insists on some random nearby town not my selected town
- can't customise for local news / sport etc as before
- why am I forced to display news stories from Northern Ireland, Wales and (god forbid) Scotland rather than where I live? (Yorkshire)
bookmark removed, bye bye BBC
don't like that comment, not one bit

don't stop with the IOC
dump the lot

nothing in all that Government spending that will benefit any child / athlete north of Milton Keynes

pretty hopeless site to be honest
zip code approximation? since I live in the UK that's approximate in the sense of the correct flippin' hemisphere ?
as I run NoScript I had to allow it to run in the first place, & then it could only locate sites that I trust (e.g. Reg) and then only the top page
it couldn't even list my bank (a very big one) and I visit that pretty much every day
this site is a waste of electricity

this tells you all you need to know
. . . about why we need a new government - though it's looking increasingly likely that we will get the same bunch of megalomaniacs back
at least WJ won't be one of them so be thankful for small mercies (well at least until she gets a peerage)

err, damn right they didn't actually
try looking up the definition ;)
greasemonkey
and some good user scripts sorts this (plus all the usual FF protections)
PS "Farm Town developer SlashKey warned users to ignore the ads but failed to suspend third-party adverts"

now they DO know how to deal with them
