In my home city of Durham we have had these installed for a while. It's a shame that they are necessary but frankly they are better then the rivers of pee that used to run out of alleys and doorways after 11 o'clock! And if you are the one caught short on the way to the taxi rank, at least you don't have to worry about getting your collar felt by the boys in blue for peeing through the letterbox of Argos (disgusting, but I saw it happen...)

I think they are over complicating things. Instead of applying Moore's Law, why not Occam's Razor?
