From my own stats, I'd have to agree with Win7's market share; I get about 1-1.5% too.

...some of us jump before we are pushed.

But according to my statistics, Firefox 3 is the most used browser. If this story is true, then how many more would switch?

Looks like NASA did what the BBC perfected decades ago

Arlen Specter is also the inventor of the ludicrous Single (a.k.a Magic) Bullet "theory" (a.k.a fairy story) when he served under the Warren Commission in 1963/4. There are some details on just how far h would go to twist people's opinions and medical evidence to suit his own theory here: http://www.flash.dealeyplazauk.org.uk/pdf%20articles/The%20wounding%20of%20John%20Connally.pdf and http://www.paullee.com/jfk/bunchedjacket.html

This place is infamous in Cambridge, and the rest of the world for the way it treats its staff. And not just this company, but is sister and acquired companies as it heads onwards in its quest for worldwide supremacy in the search market.

....there won't be as many of these

as the poster above says, it depends on who you ask: my own stats at http://www.paullee.com/computers show no usage of Safari 4 at all since the beta was released

You can glean a great deal from historic documents, such as ice reports from Lloyd's List, which could help with this; each years reports are different. I collated the reports for one month in April 1912, and have written up my results here. Theres a Java applet in there showing time evolution of the reports, and I am working on a few bugs in it.

hete show that Chrome doesn't even get 0.1%. YMMV, as the saying goes...

Look at http://www.paullee.com/computers/index.php and follow the link in the second bullet point. The f*ckers are trying legal tricks to shut me up.

PS Sorry for the small sizes of the graphs. Gnumeric was having a bad day :(

Still Ballard has been doing well on the gravytrain, grandstanding and taking nearly all the credit. Just look at all the specials dedicated to him and his ego. The late undersea explorer Ralph White bemoaned Ballard, saying that he wishes that he would give credit where its due and not just act in a "me me me me me" attitude all the time. And don't forget the French covered 80% of the search area, and their participation is hardly mentioned at all. With Ballard, it was originally "how we found the wreck"; now its "how I found the wreck." Without the French, Ballard would never have found the wreck at all...

...or would he? Did Ballard know where the wreck was all the time and sent the French searching in the wrong direction? Its a question that I have researching for many years, without a definite answer so far: was Ballard the first to find the Titanic? Have a look here: http://www.paullee.com/titanic/titanicfound.html

My book is very different from the CSI/Forensic book on the sinking, as it focusses on a ship ("The Californian") that was nearby and reputedly saw the Titanic's distress rockets. 24 hour wireless watch was not mandatory, and the operator had gone to sleep for the night. The watch officers kept a patient watch of the other ship, observing her rockets going off at intervals, and sending messages down to their snoozy captain in his cabin below the bridge. Apart from a few cursory questions, the captain went back to sleep and was not roused until well after the disaster, when the wireless operator was also awakened.

Meanwhile, on the Titanic, a ship was seen off the port bow, and distress rockets were sent up. Watching the other ship through binoculars, the officers on the doomed liner noticed no response and the effort to communicate with the other ship was given up.

The Californian tried to help the next day, but it was too late and she resumed her passage to Boston. On arrival there, the Captain, Stanley Lord, gave a highly over-exaggerated story of his rescue attempt, but there were was mention of rockets, until a couple of indignant crew members told their stories to the press and relatives on-shore. The cat was out of the bag, and both US and UK inquiries in 1912 declared that the Californian had seen the Titanic and had ignored her calls for help. Lord denied this to his dying day, always believing that there were two ships in the area that night; one seen by the Titanic, and the other by the Californian. Re-appraisals in 1965, 1968 and 1990-92 have only served to muddy the waters.

My ebook discusses the confusing testimony and how it altered over time; why did Lord and his officers' attempt to disguise the truth of the matter?; why did one of the Californian's watch officers declare that the ship he saw was steaming away, at a time when the Titanic was stopped, and why did he lie about the rockets?; why did the other officers give blatantly untruthful accounts under oath?; why did authors in recent years use dishonest tactics to exonerate Lord by suppression of evidence and legal practises?; and, the ultimate question- could Captain Lord have saved any of the 1500 victims at all? The answer may surprise you.

I haven't yet decided whether I shall be selling copies of my book on ebay or amazon, but this report gives me cause for concern.

As such, I can't wade through over a thousand replies, so heres a question (feel free to mod this as redundant if already asked): but since Mohammed supposedly lived hundreds of years ago, any depictions of him are artists impressions. So, how can Moslems get hostile about an image that doesn't necessarily reflect reality? If I were to post a picture of Santa Claus, George Lucas or any other bearded fellow, and relabel it "Mohammed", would I be charged with crimes against religion?

First of all, let me say that I'm a scientist by training. Secondly, that I have an open minded attitude towards ghosts. There, thats an oxymoron for you. Thirdly, that I was born on Hallowe'e. Whether this has anything to do with my interests or not, well, who knows :)

I have been interested in ghosts for all my life, but have been interested only semi-professionally for just over a decade. In that time, I have seen the rise of gullible, credulous idiots who believe in any old rubbish, and the fall of critical peer reviewed scientific method-driven enthusiasts. Even among university people, there are few interested people, and these tend to be lab-based ESP experiments, or groups who do research into the effects of magnetic fields on the brain, probing "god-like", or disocciated experiments.

A few of us are interested, though, but I doubt we'll find the answer. If you'd like, I'd ask you to review the pages on my web site, which list some of my experiences in the paranormal. Also recounts my meetings with some of the creduolous goons I mentioned above!

This story is decades old! Persinger's work has recently been surpased by the work of Dr.Jason Braithewaite, a neuroscientists at Birmingham (UK) University. He's also linked possible paranormal experiences to magnetic field stimulation of the brain, and has some field evidence to back this up from his work at Muncaster Castle. I've written about this on my website

Have a look at my webstats for visiting OS's: http://www.paullee.com/computers/ - I'll be updating it in the next few days to take account of August's numbers, but theres no great change in the mumbers already there. What will be interesting is whether the Christmas period will perk up sales of Dell/Linux (I doubt it) and the post-Christmas period for Windows Vista SP 1 (slow uptake I guess)

From my website's own access logs, Firefox's useage isn't too bad at all: look Look here

I've collated some results from my webpages, showing visitors browsers and OS useage: http://www.paullee.com/computers/

Time for me to put my two penneth in this argument; I've done a bit of writing on this subject, namely the bunched jakcte nonsense which has been pounced upon as proof of Oswald's guilt. Nonsense. Have a read of this: http://www.paullee.com/jfk/bunchedjacket.html Also, a mate of mine has done some writing on this, based on John Connally's wounds. He asks some very serious questions: http://www.dealeyplazauk.co.uk/The%20Wounding%20of %20John%20Connally.htm

How about reviews of other non-Ubuntu Linux distros. and see how they compare with Vista?
At the moment, I'm running Mandriva ( my rolling "blog/review" is at http://www.paullee.com/computers/computerblog.html ) - but I can't do a side-by-side comparison with MS software because I won't let that bundle o'bugs near my PC! Argghh!
