In Home Secretary swats away calls for Mosquito ban

Alert

14 events, cars & houses damaged, assaults and two prosecutions means I want 4 please.

Live where theres a a problem - then lets see if the fuglies still whine to the EEC.

"youth dispersal" devices treat young people -as if they were unwanted birds or pests-

I have young daughters, not pests, nor their friends.

Hoodies from the slums down the road are, personally I want a damn Tazor

Well overdue, read NHS SCR thread & see it in context  

In BT could face criminal case over Phorm trials

Flame

When you compare this evil concept with the fuss about the NHS Summary care Record, it shows exactly where the real problems for Privacy exist - commercial greed.

You're the sort of punter that scares the crap out of us professionals

and the idiot who sues after a problem occurs.

SCR runs over the spine   

In Computer boffin on NHS Spine: Get out while you can

Flame

Which shows the report authors ignorance of the subject.

but then the real professionals already know this.

Genius comment   

In Computer boffin on NHS Spine: Get out while you can

Thumb Up

You should record your name and receive the due praise you deserve.

Its a bad system as it is.

if the SCR is not quite right, these fools should be working to fix it; not run public scare stories.

There will no tears for Vista, anywhere  

In Microsoft slams nails in Windows Vista, XP SP2, 2000

FAIL

Vista, no-one will shed a tear.

its gone the same way as millenoium

Both over-hyped and crap on all counts.

So, got a better idea? Fax? Idiot !  

In Computer boffin on NHS Spine: Get out while you can

Grenade

At the moment staff have to use Fax over POTS

and I've had stuff for A&E on our machine by mistake and the number is quite different, luckily we are NHS.

But it shows how insecure and crap the Fax service is, plus someone has to be there at the other end and unclip notes to fax and it takes f-ing ages.

The critical time for Streptokinase is 40 minutes

(Thats the clot buster drug for strokes)

Guess how many times we miss the target beacuase of a lack of info - it can't be given twice!

Of course when you go on Holiday to Cornwall or in the case of the readership, Blackpool - there is an even more critical issue - they know nothing about you!

So rather than digital dic-heads spouting through their asses about withholding data that is less harmful than the stuff insurance companies hold about you - he suggests what in place?

The FAX

Word of mouth over phone?

WTF?

The answer is to FIX the spine and it might help is no1 dick for brains put his efforts into that scenario instead.

The difference here is - I actually know what I'm taking about as I'm on bothe sides of the problem. Clinical and Technical deployment

chris 130

Unconscious patient?   

In Computer boffin on NHS Spine: Get out while you can

Heres your scenario, chest patient on holiday, unconscious.

name in wallet - no medical history.

DISCUSS

Been there, still doing it.

NHS Staff here - we already knew that  

In Experts rubbish iPhone for health use

FAIL

Where have these guys been?

We already knew that, its so last year (and the one before it)

Radio 6, only one of BBC worth lsitening too  

In BBC to cull radio stations, halve websites in painful biz review

Unhappy

Pity

Radio 6 on the DAB is one of three channels worth listening too in the home counties- rest are just so much crap or untunable

chris 130

Simple solution   

In Microsoft finally debuts Euro-choose-a-browser screen

Grenade

Simples

just install Firefox and all your nasty Microsoft issues just fail to exist.

Just a bunch of Russian asswipes  

In Attack code for Firefox zero-day goes wild, says researcher

Grenade

Deliberately releasing trouble to show how clever they are?

Sounds like another pre-pubescent Russian asswipe script jockey kid.

Thats Germany right?  

In 'Fat birds get laid sooner, have more one-night stands'

Where they prefer bigger assed/breasted women?

Try another survey in Arabia & Egypt, surprised?

Don't be so bloody naive mate.

Yanks = Prudes

Buggerations  

In Google Buzz leaves privacy concerns ringing in ears

Flame

I have always avoided all this sort of bullcrap and have checked Googles data on me -it is crap and useless - but by default -I might now be advertising myself to the unwashed masses out there looking to trouble me.

I have a dog and a crowbar and will learn how to use them and get some big tattoos;

(Maybe)

Great tip to turn off CHAT & BUZZ, thanks

The first ever shoppers in Tesco 24 hour in Aylesbury  

In Tesco store bans shopping in pyjamas

Headmaster

...were a family in the 'jamas at 2 am at few years ago

So - are we banning a long established tradition?

iPad bra? - call up the Fraud Squad  

In Fujitsu: 'iPad? That's ours'

Coat

There's something very wrong with the concept of an interactive padded bra;

ie: the prduct (the rack) is being advertised as something it is not.

Is not a breach of the Trade Descriptions Act?

or just sheer bloody-minded fraud?

Either way, its just not cricket.

Porn should only feature large breasted females, its all true  

In Aussie censor balks at bijou boobs

Coat

Its a good point, obviously to save confusion, all porn should only contain the larger breasted variety of female.

Rather 'ol boy, what !?

chris 130

Flash Ah Arrrrrr, he'll save everyone of us.....  

In Firefox 3.6 goes live and final

Nuff said

and its in the same fantasy scheme of things.

BT v Virgin  

In BT reveals faster broadband pricing

Flame

We are on the list - sometime in the near but still dim future.

Interesting because the BT copper lines offer us a max of 1.5Mb flat out if the sun is shining and much less if its raining, I kid you not.

So for the last few years I use Virgin

10Mb whatever the weather and never a drop-off, in fact the whole south side of our Buckinghamshire town have to due to the bloody poor BT line service, whatever carrier, its the same-same poor service.

Wonder why they chose us to upgrade then?

Basically its a Brillo pad  

In Steel-woven wallet pledges to keep RFID credit cards safe

Paris Hilton

Being a Brillo pad at heart makes this:

A truly multi-functional wallet, now rather than just one rather boring sedate task, the Steel Knight (TM) offers layers of multi-functional genius and remove those stubborn saucepan streaks after that fine meal that you bought using your Steel knight protected credit cards.

I should be writing their PR

These guys are obviously Amateurs, pfffftttt !!!!

Any other uses you can think of?

A good kicking is in order  

In UK gets final warning over Phorm trials

Flame

To dissuade nasty corporate boys from trying this again; they need a damn good kicking.

I'm in - who's signing up?

chris 130

Spot the bleeding obvious solution anyone?  

In Microsoft offers EU choice on Windows browsers

Megaphone

This is one of those situations where everyone knew the answer already -we just had to wait for various committees to huff,bluff, dive and jive only to come up with the bleeding obvious solution.

We already knew this was a hallucination  

In UK gov admits gamble on massive net snoop plan

Flame

Anyone with a modicum of IT knowledge could have worked out the impossibility of this nonsense months ago- I wonder how much the fools spent chasing their false gold?
