It's a bit misleading to say the Rupert Murdoch owns Sky, New International holds about 40% of Sky, and the Murdoch family hold just over 30% of News International. It's really an object lesson in how to maintain control with large but minority shareholdings.
You want to change the status quo, so the burden of proof is on you. And saying 'Get it' at the end of every line make you look like a moron, the use of 'shit' really helped you argument as well......
Users don't 'prototype' applications in Access (or Excel for that matter), they 'develop' them (for want of a better word). Then five years later after they have left the company some poor sod from IT (that would be me) has to fix a broken by (lack of) design mess. The idea that users get a handle on the problem by playing with Access is like saying I learnt surgery by loosing a leg.
How exactly can they tell how you drive from the amount of petrol you buy at BP? If you told your insurance you drive 8000 miles ayear, and you actually drive 16000, buy all your petrol at Tesco!
Also, Blunkett just used the (borrowed) Nectar card as an example, he meant all loyalty cards.
And yes, let's look at the London congestion scheme. Brought in ostensibly to cure central traffic problems, when revenue undershot expectations they decided to extend the scheme to the suburbs against the wishes of 76% of the inhabitants, and today it's announced they're also raising the price. Trffic problems? Revenue raising.
I don't think you can really call Kensington and Chelsea suburbs, I think extending it there is more to do with them being true blue, gets right up Kens nose.
In case you haven't noticed my other posts, I happen to be politically a "free market anarchist"
No, you happen to be a loud mouth idiot.
If the foundation is an attempt to further Bills financial and business aims it's doing a crap job, all that time and money and it's done nothing like that yet.
Still bollocks. So the MS shares are now cash, so fucking what? The foundation cannot turn round and give this money to Bill. As for having 'CONTROL' of other companys, the foundation only holds $728 million worth of shares in total, the phrase 'drop in the ocean' springs to mind. You really do need to lay off the crack pipe.
Bollocks. Take off the tin foil hat and join the rest of us in the real world. The Forbes article says almost nothing, and the dslreports one is best described as sour grapes with no backup.

How cute, you have never met me, but you know that I know nothing about the oil industry! Sorry, but being a VP of Shell means shit, most of the directors know shit, so why should I take the word of a VP?
Funny, I thought we where all going to France for our health care due to the state of the NHS! Also, very little money is scamed from the DWP via fake ID, most of it is people claiming more than they are due.
So why are European taxes so much higher? Because they tax as a percentage of the price, whereas the USA taxes as a amount per volume. Hence, if the cost of gas before taxes doubles, in Europe the price at the pump doubles, whereas in the USA the price may only go up 25%.
In the UK only VAT (17.5%) is a percentage of the price, the rest of the tax is by volume, it's just that the tax by volume is much higher than in the US. This means that the price of crude oil plays a much bigger role in the price of petrol in the US.

Shell are the company that overestimated its reserves, by about 20% if I remember correctly, so your father quite frankly knows shit. And gosh, we have found enough oil for 1 1/3 years! if that is a big find then we are fucked.
Full dislosure, I own shares in Shell transport and trading.
Look, does Denmark not have some type of crime that the UK doesn't? If not, what does an ID card gain, and frankly, all that stuff about 'Police sweeps' still sounds like a police state to me. Do you trust the labour party, do you trust the torys, and do you trust any party that might be elected in the future, because I sure as hell don't. And you still hanvn't given anything like proof that an ID card will stop any crime.
Right, so you are right wing. What you are proposing has a name, it's called a police state, and I for one do not want one. Lets try rewording one of your statements shall we. Or just a sweep against (lets call them) Jews.
How exactly will an ID card keep people out? It's not like they will be issued to everyone as soon as they turn up at Dover/Heathrow. The people you object to will do what they currently do, turn up and vanish into the grey economy or the criminal underground. At the end of the day, how do you tell the difference between one of your bogeymen, and a tourist? If your not a right wing bigot, I suggest you use a more specific term than asylum seeker, economic migrant usually covers it. Your original post looked like it was suggesting getting rid of all asylum seekers, hence my comment.
I think a lot of the complaining comes from the 16-26 year old student/post-student market. They shut up pretty quickly when they have to start paying tax.
Bzzt wrong. As a tax payer I object to the govenment spending my money on a system to spy on me. But then again, I also object to the demonising of asylum seekers as well, so I might not fit you right wing bigot world view.
At the time they started the project I don't think there wasn't much excuse for not using some kind of markup and nowadays there's absolutely no excuse.
How many negatives? What are you trying to say?
If (as I suspect) you think there was no excuse for going with plain 80 column ASCII in 1971, I suggest you read up on your history.

"Does history record any case in which the majority was right?"
We should be safe then, Labour didn't get a majority of the votes, just the seats.

Ready, Steady, Cook is actually a cooking programme, Chef! is called Chef! in the UK as well (and hasn't been on broadcast TV for ages).
That's nothing, before the UK Sunday trading laws where changed, it was legal to buy Playboy on a Sunday, but not legal to buy the Bible!

You do realise that it costs something like 30,000 per annum to keep somebody locked up don't you?

Steering locks are a joke, they can be broken with a couple of good kicks, it just adds to the repair cost if you ever get the car back.

VU Games is Vivendi Universal, not Valve. It's still a stupidly large amount of money to loose tho'
Frankly, if any insurance company wrote that risk they deserve everything they get.
