Speed cams ditched in Wiltshire

Aortic Aneurysm

@Morons

"8 people die a day on our roads - most of those caused by speeders" - got statistics to back that up ? Saying its speeding is such an easy cop-out.

I live in Fife, In Scotland. We have NO fixed cameras, and two mobiel vans - operated by the Safety Camera partnership people. the Police now have camera vans, and ofcourse, traffic poilce and unmarked cars on our dual carriageways / motorways etc.

Now, It might be bias, But i believe we have probably the safest roads in Scotland. Co-incidence? I think not.

German privacy watchdogs agree social networking ground rules

Aortic Aneurysm

well...

"The GDK also said that social networking companies must let users delete their profile" - As an ex-administator for a uk-based social netowrking site, one of the things that got complained about most was the fact that users cannot delete their profiles.

people were told to "disable" (meaning it was hidden from public view, but anyone with any level of staff access could see it) the accounts and after 6 months inactive they would automatically delete. This is not the case.

Personally I'd love to see that site taken for everything it's (not) worth.

"They don't need to play it, they live it, name an impoverished country muslim country which doesn't have radical factions that go around shooting each other because "my faction interprets the Qu'ran differently to yours"?"

This is indeed true, I'm useless at anaolgies :(

Muslims 9023823 - 0 Everyone else

Unbelievable. I honestly wish people would stop bowing to Religion (muslims are the majority) and develop a pair of testicals. So what, two lines of something was included in a game, which a vast majority of muslims will never ever ever play, due to the fact, that most live in impoverished countries. I mean, when was the last time you seen a muslim from an impoverished country, playing call of duty on the xbox 360?

the reason that Sony did not relaunch R:FOM - Was that religion in this country is not a big thing. No-one other than church leaders gave two hoots about it. I can't see Archbishop of canterbury settling down at night to play R:FOM - So why are they complaining ?

This whole PC nonsense needs to be banished into room 101.

The good news is

I've still not recieved a screen asking me to join in the trial. The bad news is, my internet connection feels as though it has developed paraplegia, it's so slow. (compared to what I'm ued to, but it's still pretty fast)

@Shurely some mishtake?

Up until recently, I had over 3000 in one email inbox, and I have well over 1500 in my current hotmail box, I use it for msn, which is a rare occurance.

Anything important comes to my work mail.

Touche. Only noticed this briefly, so shouldn't have posted it making me look like a mungo.

I'm with BT...

Or Rather, my parents are, and refuse to change. Luckily, due to my less and less frequent browsing habits ( I only browse maybe 4 sites, including this one, the other is a social networking site I help run, so it will be blocking Phorm) and more game playing on the xbox, I won't be affected by Phorm. First time however, the page comes up, I'll be getting the old man to cancel the contract.

Interestingly, the Home Hub has my MAC address on it - meaning I could sign up with a new company right now.

Slimline Xbox 360 due in December?

RROD

I can't understand how some people get RROD on "new 3 week old" consoles. I've had mines since nearly release, and it's still going strong. I had a first batch ps2 (remember the problems with them?) and it's still working like new today. Ps3's break aswell, but since more people own xbox's the problem with them is far more documented.

No sightings in Fife

I'm disappointed, Althought I work in Edinburgh, i might just spend this weekend trawling streets of Fife, praying for a sighting. Although, They'd be brave souls to enter some parts of the kingdom, they camera would be broken off quicker than paris drops her pants.
