But what the fuck is online promiscuity?

Having two different web cam girls on screen at the same time.

Or at least that's what I've been told.

Re: Ditch the DOG

Dogs aren't there to remind the viewer which channel they are watching, they are there to spot when a rival TV station is ripping of your feed.

There was a documentary about Al Jazeera filmed during one of the Gulf conflicts in which a US network got hold of the live feed and passed if of as their own. The documentary filmed a phone conversation that went like ...

Why are you using our feed.

Don't lie to me you bastard I can see our logo on the screen.

The Al Jazeera teckies then through in an encryption layer on the feed and watched the US network broadcast the encrypted feed for a few seconds.

are you seriously putting heroin alongside a pint of bitter in terms of danger?

Yes,

Which drugs are legal and which are not and the whole illegal drugs classification thing has bugger all correlation to.

a) How addictive the drug is

or

b) How dangerous the drug is.

Note that even 'How dangerous the drug is.' is a misleading statement as it give zero idea as to dosage or other activities performed while taking the drug.

Boffin Nutt was sacked for trying to explain this to a government in thrall to the Daily Mail.

And a fourth suggestion.

Tell the person who you employ in the afternoon not to bother as I got one form the person in the morning.

Re: Ark in Space

I really wish someone at the BBC had the courage to commission equally scary stuff these days.

Are you my Mummy?

Re: Shame

I have a different list for not buying Sonny products.

It starts with root kitting my PC and continues from there.

Re: Willful infringement?

Yes.

This answer brought to you by the Eastern District of Texas

I've got a little list.

why doesn't he release a list of the MPs who made/voted-in the laws which allow these accounting 'tricks' to exist in the first place?

All that information is already in the public domain. All MP.s votes on legislation are publicly recorded.

See http://www.publicwhip.org.uk/

“We are very aware of the community concern about the situation, and it is unfortunate that we were forced into the legal process, but unfortunately my client is a giant *rich* dick."

A pour giant dick. is call a prisoner, or in some states of America, dead.

Re: Dare I say...

Re: Anyone here using Virginmedia?

Yes I use Virgin.

No I don't recall them telling me they export my data abroad.

Yes I did spot the gmail folder in my mail box.

However. Wouldn't transferring my data outside the EU without my express permission fall foul of EU Data Protection Laws?

Re: W3C against privacy & for DRM

They are not actually for DRM. They just accept that as it's already here, having a standard to code to will make it easier for the end user to control.

Wile E. Ciotie ...

would like to disagree with <THWACK>

I have a better one.

"People should not be afraid of their government; governments should be afraid of their people" V - V for Vendetta.

Teenagers, Marketards, Governments & religious groups need to get a life.

Of the four mentioned above I'd suggest that the Teenagers would 'get a life' if the other three left them to it.

pure speculations and unsubstantiated opinions that defy logic and reality itself.

Are you talking about string theory again? :-)

UK gov't: "Filesharing is wrong and unacceptable."

Perhaps we should be arresting all the nursery teachers for encouraging their wards to share.

@Don

You really should learn how silk Road worked before spouting of that way. The only thing the dealer knew about the buyer was the address where the buyer wanted the product delivered.

Re: Noise pollution

Aspie people CAN learn to understand subtext - most of the time, and eve pick up on body language. But it takes actual practice and conscious thought, and it's not as reliable as most NTs' sense of others' feelings. The very best thing we can learn to do in terms of personal interaction is to deliberately compensate for this by asking questions and -ensuring- we're on the same page, not just misreading someone's intent.

The problem I find is that when I'm concentrating on something, I'm no longer thinking about subtext or interpersonal relationships so I come over uncaring.

I've spent a lot of my life looking for situations where I know the rules. Otherwise I flounder like a fish out of water.

Re: If only there was a way for computers to send data to each other...

So how do you propose to update the clock at the power station, you know, the one you where told to disconnect from the Internet last week.

I just up voted you

Then thought, is windows available in Urdu, Paschto, and Punjabi?

Apparently parenting is hard

As a recent report pointed out that 4yo's where turning up to school in nappies as they had not been toilet trained.

And, I bet the good people of Wiltshire return her to the house ...

Well yes, you wouldn't want her back in Wiltshire talking bollocks, would you?
