Maybe you've had a bad experience but I've been using them for years and they are definetely the most reliable (till now) andf efficent registrar I've ever come across. I recommend them and still would.
Charles Kennedy's address to the House of Commons states that only 4 explosions have been confirmed. The bus, Edgeware Road, between Russell Sq and Kings X and Aldgate
The military and police have blocked off Charing Cross Road at Cambridge Circus although there are reports it has recently (13:23) reopened.
oh dear! Another blind, confused and mislead Anonymous Coward!
This is not really the place for this but no
I do not get treated like any other employee. Yes, the 10% is the employers tax but I don't
get any of the benefits. I do charge more but I work and train a lot harder than most employees that I have worked with. I also am also investing money to build a small, profitable business and hopefully employee a couple of people. Under IR35 I cant do this. If I want to buy a PC I have to pay tax @ 40% AND social tax at 22.5% before re-investing it to pay another 15.5% VAT.
I presume (since you don't mention) that the
original poster was based in the US?
If they have the misfortune to be in the UK
then they will discover that the contract
market here has been sent back into the
Dark Ages by our mis-guided Labour government.
There is a lot of work here but the new law (nicknamed IR35) means that you pay 10% more
tax then regular employees but without any of the
perks of full-time employment. Insecurity AND more tax! hmmm-mmmm give me more of that! I'll make my voice heard at the election;-)
In the last couple of weeks England & Wales have
just brought in a new Human Rights Law. It was a funny situation here for a while, despite the UK
being one of the more liberal places for political and religous free speech there was nothing actually written in law that said you had the right to free speech. It's only because the EU has forced it on England that they brought it in. BTW Scotland has a seperate legal system and has always had some basic human rights written in law. Man, I just knew that we were smarter!;-)
Anyhow, what's the point of all this drivel? Denying people access to a service/business/resource because their DNA isn't right must surely fall foul of our shiny new Human Rights. After all, you can't discriminate against someone because their DNA makes them of a different race?
Imagine it, Sorry sir, your DNA says that your are black and we can't have that here! or how about I'm afraid your job application was turned down because your DNA test says that your are just not intelligent enough. Gattica here we come.
If this guy really is the developer then a lot of things make sense. A lot of things can look like
a government conspiracy when in fact all
they are is a good old fashioned f*ck up. Never attribute anything to a higher intelligence, it's not there.
It should be more accurate than just within a cell. Although you only really talk to one base station, if you are in an area where there are lots of base stations they can actually do a triangulation on your signal and work out where you are to a much tighter area.
I don't know how accurate it is or how they deal with all the ghost signals from buildings but the specs are there for a WAP gateway to potentially pass your location back to a server.
You can see it now.... Oh look, Mr Jones is in the same street as his favorite pub and it's 6pm. He's probably going for a drink with friends, time for a beer advert. Scary.

Your view is valid, shame it's not correct.
