  1. Re:News? on UK ISPs Could Be Forced To Block Or Restrict P2P · · Score: 1

    In fact I've read several times on slashdot that it's already happened, but I'll only believe it when the files stop coming.

    yeah, I think that Apple avoid telling you version numbers because they're not user friendly :(

    I thought that "you must be new here" was the correct response in situations like this? ...

    guess I must still be new here

    For your information, I am Welsh, and well aware of the history of the NHS and its creation by Aneurin Bevan, the minister for health in Clement Attlee's post-war government.

    And yes, the UN CRC doesn't count, unless you don't think that children (or anyone else, in my opinion) should be subjected to the death penalty.

    Of course I'm aware that there are creationists in the UK, but I can honestly say that I've never met one, and of the links you provide the first is about outcry against creationism, which surely reinforces my point. The second states:

    In a survey by Southampton University, 36 percent of teachers said God was involved in humanity's creation

    which is not the same as the young earth creationism that I should have specified I was referring to, furthermore, I agree that creation should be taught in schools, in fact, I was taught about it at school, in religious education classes where it belongs.

    Even the third and most relevant of your links is only a debate about whether it should be discussed in lessons, not taught as fact.

    I admit that there are a lot of things about this country that I don't like, but I'm fed up of reading "OMG UK is fascist" posts on slashdot, it's complete nonsense.

    indeed, as far as I can tell it's hogwash

    UK is a fascist dictatorship. But instead of one Mussolini, it is governed by elected MPs

    . . .

    Please don't compare US and UK.

    yes, one of them happens to have a national health service, to have signed the UN convention on the rights of the child, have adequate gun control, and a distinct lack of creationism :P

    so painfully true

    Seriously, I nearly cry every time I hear stuff like this, just like I nearly cried the first time I played oblivion.
    Although I don't really play games any more, I'd prefer to play morrowind or daggerfall any day of the week. In fact, if someone remade daggerfall in a slightly less hideously 2D-sprited manner I just might have to drop out of university...

    if this already exists please, for the sake of my future, DON'T link me to it! ......no, please, do

  10. Re:Is this that important ? on Attempt To "Digitalize" Beatles Goes Sour · · Score: 1

    why don't you go and ask mr bob dylan, or chuck berry, or the rolling stones, or most of the musicians of the last fifty years, what they think of the beatles?

    Bonus points to the article for misspelling "fertilizing".

    "fertilising" is in no way an incorrect spelling thank you very much.
