I could understand if the developers had inserted (no pun intended) a full hardcore scene from the latest "Suzie Melonjugs Meets Mr WhopperChopper" caper, but this was 3D cartoon sex on a game not intended for minors anyway - worse, it is most likely BAD 3D cartoon sex (I've never been a fan of GTA or 3D graphics of that sort in general)! A society that complains about a sex scene in a game whose sole aim is to steal cars, kill pedestrians and police, and generally do other unwholesome stuff, seriously needs to realign their priorities.
Oh, and @asdf: Hey, if the US were still a colony, you probably wouldn't have this problem - blame those mutinous colonials that wanted independence.... ;o)
...but clearly a tongue in cheek piss-take. No scammer would draw attention to other people's mistrust of him (Mr Wright, who suggested *ahem* "relations" with his mother).
No doubt a bullshit "consultation" sham, to be followed immediately by all the pre-planned redundancies to those "specific" areas they can outsource directly to India - for "competitiveness'" sake, of course.
My heartfelt sympathies to those facing the axe for no other reason than corporate greed - I was in the same boat around this time last year.
Do Amazon think they're the only e-tailer out there? So you can only buy one PS3 under penalty of death and account deletion? Well, boo-frikkin'-hoo. They're clearly assuming you will naturally try to buy both units from them. Never heard of eBuyer, Play? Hell, even Curry's if you really want!
By the way, I don't have a PS3 yet, and if I do end up getting one, it'll just be the one...
It's not about "freetards", it's about a toadying, corrupt and woefully inept "government" being led by every lobby group who offers them a free dinner and a luxury overseas all-expenses-paid holiday, and pushing their agenda to the top of the list instead of acting in the interests of the people they're supposed to represent.
That dirty swine Mandelson also met with Gaddaffi's son while on the same holiday, and suddenly there's discussion that the Lockerbie bomber may be jetting off to Libya cos he's ill - aww didums.
Paris, cos if she didn't put other people's interests above her own, we'd never have sneaky pics of her beaver as she steps out of cars. Gawd bless 'er.
"Anyone out there- is there a Book of Law? Or Website of Law? Not just case studies, but a definitive "THOU SHALT NOT XYZ"? If not, how do I know there isn't a law against, for example, being called Adam Foxton?"
I just checked, and there is such a law. Please remain calm, the authorities know where you are, and what you are eating right now. Put down the bacon buttie, as men in balaclavas should be with you momentarily to take you away for some doubleplusfun re-education. You'll learn to love Twitter, and The Party. See you at the Miniluv.
"There is no obligation on local residents to use this card. However, some services, such as access to the local library or the Household Waste facilities, will only be made available on production of a card."
That there is reason why it should be scrapped immediately, and any involved to be cast out into the political winderness! How can you claim it is non-obligatory, but deny those without one to certain services? For shame, Hillingdon, for shame.
HCL came into my last company, as some "consultant" wanted to outsource us - the two guys they sent over were terrible. 16 man-weeks later, and not a viable piece of code between them!
Of course, being a "consultant", he put a spin on it, and all the work we did to re-write their code got passed off as theirs.
So we got made redundant, they inherited a 15 year old legacy HP-UX/Ingres/ system with no documentation and no knowledge transfer....
What are the odds that some sort of IP infringement suit will follow, with some half-munched-fruit-logo'd company claiming to own the sole rights to use the lowercase "i" followed by any bollocks they choose appropriate for their latest vomitous offering?

Evangelists For Hire?
I believe we have (at least!) one in government - Darth Mandelson.
"Find out who pays for their evangelism in money or in other ways."
Well that's easy, it's David Geffen... What do we do next, short of throw a party on a yacht in Corfu?

Love it though.

It will achieve only one thing...
...the Labour tripe being spouted will push Twitter well beyond the recent statistic of 41% of all Twitter content being pointless babble.
Why not give up on all this Web 2.0 bandwagon jumping, and try to actually provide a policy the people of the UK might actually benefit from?
No obligation? My arse!

Ok...
So a spam-generator gets hacked and used for sending spam to their own mailing list of spam recipients?
Surely they should be thanking the "hackers", and paying them time-and-a-half for working out of hours...
Don't you people know...
... it's one rule for the ruling Elite, and another for us lowly surfs?
Now stop questioning your betters and go back to being good little sheep.
Hmmm
