Rights holders stump up a loseable deposit

Make the rights holders pay a deposit that they get back if they win.

After all if they are so sure, they'll get it back. Simples.

So much

for CRS checks etc then

Re: calculators

My calculator refused to add up - I was nonplussed

Memory

My little 8 year old Nikon doesn't need a SD card, it has 14Mb internal memory. You can put a card in as well of course. But you can get quite a lot of pics on internal. So i can save to internal the pics I want to keep and give the copper the SD card with a couple of pics on it. Done.

Coincidence

What a jawdropping coincidence that Rackspace shut down this site right now, and not, say, 3 months ago.

Received a complaint my arse.

Laws

It's about time we had some actual concrete laws in this country.

Not these wishy-washy need-to-be-interpreted vague excuses at pathetic legislation.

Then we would all know exactly where we stand.

haha

VOTE FASCIST WHILE YOU STILL CAN

Last time I looked

Answerphones were not computers

Connection

Will someone please explain what religion has to do with online porn ?

Gay family values

"David Campbell, another "family values" minister, resigned after being filmed leaving a gay sauna"

Are they saying that gay people can not have family values ?

Sony

I'll stick with Sony thanks - better sound quality, which after all, is the PRIMARY purpuse of these things, or is it

Disappointingly pointless

I initially hoped that this "exact replica" would in fact be an exect replica.

However it's just a PC in a C64-alike case. So what's the point.

How disappointing that there's no SID chip etc.

Exact replica rating 1 out of 10

Re: U in O-Level English

They don't "fail" you any more, that "could" be "traumatic".

Instead you 'pass" at a slightly lower grade.

It's what we pay for.

Tilt

ANPR cams are up poles. Work out the angle range that the hemispheres reflect back to cam. Tilt your plate from the top ever so sligthly so that the reflect will not hit the cam. Plate still perfectly visible to a human in visible light (check the regs)

Innocent

I'm afraid that, under current legislation, they are innocent unless proven guilty. Fact.

I can't believe nobody has said

I, for one, welcome our new neutrony magnetar overlords

Restaurant

Pity the restaurant won't be functional.

Guy de Maupassant, when asked why, since he hated the Eiffel Tower, he dined there every day, said that it was the only place in Paris where you can't look out and see the Eiffel tower.

"We believe that speed cameras reduce the number of accidents on roads"

Presumably before spending our cash, they will provide solid scientifically accepted evidence of this.

Gifts ?

YUK

gives

please

Huh

If they don't know what it means, how can they find it offensive ?

If they do know what it means, how come they still find it offensive ?

Normal

What is the state of the country, when normal behaviour is considered suspicious ?

Oh wait ...

Payback

If they release the film and make millions, arethey going to pay back the damages, since ipso facto the CD did not damage the film income

Skylon

What's all this Skylon "Tower" it was Skylon Pylon in 1951 when I was a lad has it been PC-ised or something

Points

X-rays are absorbed by water vapour in the air, otherwise we'd all be fried by incoming. They can also travel a long way e.g. from Cygnus X-1

Submarines don't issue 'ping' sonar sounds, they digitize samples of the "sound of the sea" taken a random time earlier, and transmit that, the refelected pattern bit-shifted in time, it doesn't have to be a ping you see, any sound will do, so sea sounds are very non-noticeable.

The transmission through metal bit, try thinking at a molecular level.

expectation

This show just how out of touch HMG are with the people who voted them in, all those weeks ago. They now find that the population is made up of the product of the 80's Thatcher cuts "education" system, and they wonder why ........

Free speech

... extends even to David Cameron

Carts

Are those running costs using "original" or compatible cartidges ?

Paypal

Hopefully ebay have $11.4bn in their paypal account

Torture and Death

I thought we didn't extradite to countries that use torture and the death penalty ?

Oh wait ...

re: Why the fuss

Godwin 2.0 on you

i.e. mention of terrorism or paedo

Test

Please explain what happens when you drop one onto a concrete floor.

Ofcom

Who pays Ofcom's wages ?

Yes so whose data is it then ?

Simpson - what's that reply got to do with me ?

I mean, God not liking etc

Come on man explain yourself

Child protection

It may have escaped your notice, but at 16 years old, Jules Mattson is in the eyes of the law a CHILD.

Courts ?

Do they still have courts over there in the Colony ?

Or have they gone back to hangin' 'em fer jus' lookin' a-shifty ?

You remember courts, those places where people were innocent until proven guilty.

Oh wait .....

Octave lights

Those colour-changing octave shift lights are not actually an "innovation" since they have been in use on Korg kit for many years e.g. MicroKorg

Also desperately needs a Mod-wheel equivalent.

Stolen

Go on then, there's 2 computers, examine the hard drives then tell me which one is stolen

Huh ?

You mean people actually try to MAKE PHONE CALLS on this thing.

Did they run out of Apps to buy ?

Rickrolled

But has anybody been fooled into playing a Rick Astley track yet ?

Last week

... it was 2 million, this week 3 million, next week ....?

And all this happening while Jobs said there was a shortage.

makes you wonder

Trust

What's there to "trust" in Facebook or Twitter ?

Re: Isn't there some kind of constitution or human rights act

".... that would make it illegal for the government to pass laws that criminalise activities that do not affect other people"

Try shagging a bike in a locked room.

So, no, there isn't.

Irony

That's a bit rich coming from the country where all known scanner-perv-episodes have actually happened e.g. the one where they ridiculed the size of a mans todger until he went postal, or the one where the airport employee was babbling on about big norks .... hey ho

Archimedes

The co-pro would be the 487, surely

RE: CCTV

"You only need to watch one or two of the usual cops on tv shows to see that they play an important part in reducing crime"

Erm, if they reduce crime so well, there would be barely anything worth showing captured on a cctv cam ?
