Anglophone cybercops team up to fight fraud

Kevin Kitchen
Thumb Up

Limited yes, but still better than nothing

"The Anglophone group is all well as good but until it incorporates law enforcement officials from the likes of Russia, the Ukraine, Brazil and China - all hubs of cybercrime - its scope will be necessarily limited."

Yes, but its a start, and its better than each of those individual countries working individually on the same issues.

And they do say: From small acorns, great oak trees do grow.

Jane Fonda c-word slip shocks US

Alert

Context...

Some of these bodies set up protect us from TV are out of their minds.

In the context of the conversation this word is perfectly acceptable.

The word c*nt, is just a word. It is fine to be angry about it when used an an expletive, but when used in the correct context, as in Jane Fonda's case, then I see no reason to pursue this matter any further.

Personally I think NBC should retract their apology and tell The Parents Television Council to go f*ck themselves.

Peace.

Healthy? You're a burden on the state

(Total lifetime taxes) - (Total healthcare)

But what is the lifetime total of a healthy individuals taxes minus health care costs versus that of an average or unhealthy person.

Surely an average or healthy person would manage to contribute more in taxes to the state by working steadily from 20 to 65 with little or no health care, this would mean that the net gain would be greater than that of an obese or smoking addicted individual who would need health care costs over their lifetime.

Vista Issues

I have a relatively good computer running Vista (what else would run it correctly) and I am having very little issues.

OK, it feels like I am testing a Release Candidate of Wind-blows, but the only issues I am having are:

* The mouse pointer is not right in the head (the actual click location is near the arrow head, but I am never sure where)

* Philips Dect/Skype phone drivers don't work. I rang Philips support and they where useless.

* I keep on getting an annoying message saying that a program has stopped working, but if I press cancel every thing goes back to normal.

Dang, where's my XP CD.

Unable to comment

*a Wigan Infirmary spokesman felt "unable to comment"*

Probably due to a fit of hysterics.
