The Best of Times, The Worst of Times

Oh yeah I have a Sony. I bought the PCG-505FX when it came out ten years ago. Wonderful then and now, especially as it runs Puppy Linux flawlessly (apart from firewire because Sony used some crappy chip). But... (pregnant pause) from the outset I begun hating Sony more and more for it's absolute disregard for after-sales support and a maze of a website that disappeared up its own backside. And dare I remind ye all that this is *the* company that thought it had a right to infect your computers? 'nough said.

Would you listen to yourselfs!

All this debate when in reality there is very little if anything worth watching *once* on the BBC let alone twice. Who exactly is going to be bothered downloading anything to watch again... but only within the time dictated by an outdated, outmoded service run by the biggest bunch of wishy-washy, money wasting drama queens ever created in Bullshit Britain. PULLLLEASSSE... tell me which brain matter challenged individuals (other than employees of aforementioned crap organisation) will choose this method over the "record" button on their video recorder/ pvr.

Really, it is yet another money wasting exercise from start to finish in the fantasy world known as the "BBC".

Confused

So does this mean there is no danger if no one reports having any symptoms? Like if I get run over and die but fail to complain then the driver of the car couldn't have been driving dangerously?

But seriously, would the average person who is probably not even aware of the location of local masts even make the connection to symptoms they may be suffering?

Who sponsored the research?

Fools

In the best case they can only gauge what is being displayed not what the user is looking at, if indeed they are looking at anything... I'll leave this page up while I go for a coffee.

Traditional metric based search engines are ultimately doomed I say and the sooner they fold the better.

If anyone was serious...

...then OpenSource would be a legal requirement on equipment manufacturers, at least when production of a device ceases. This would drastically reduce amount of technology being dumped purely because it doesn't have that extra feature and/or becomes unsupported. Back to reality, we know that will never happen but until it does (along with a whole host of more practical measures, eg, more teleconferencing, more telecommuting) I for one won't take climate change and the lip service paid to it by governments and organisations any more seriously than I take the threat of a killer asteroid.
