    Making a world a better place was just another thing to do in a list of things to do. You've not mixed up any of the other things in the list (Cooking with paint for example). Are you making a point out of a point you know I wasn't making?

    You lost me at that bit. I guess "make the world a better place" is a bad thing to want?

    To reply to myself. Sentences for making child porn on the first page of search result is 25+ years. Texas being most awesome by handing out a 290 year sentence! Go Texas.

    Creation and possession of child porn £300 fine and 6 months suspended sentence.
    Illegally downloading said child porn without the copyright holder permission - 10 years for each file and a max fine of $250,000 per image.
    Copyright is theft!
    The crux is - Copyright is a civil matter; but they've turned it into a criminal one.

    Have you had any trouble with license people harassment yet?

    My comment got modded troll so the debate is moot.
    So for you, Fair point; I'd add anything with Professor Jim Al-Khalili; but its so dumbed down I'd rather not bother.
    I can't opt out off the BBC and not have people knocking at the door. Search TV licence fee on youtube as see the harassment people get.
    I don't have sky, virgin, netflix, or any other cable. NHK and Al Jazeera English do better news coverage. I've not watched ITV or C4 in about 5 years. I want out!

    So with no BBC connections try these on youtube: Vsauce, veritasium, Computerphile, Mike's Electric Stuff, Big Think and my fav periodicvideos and many more.

    As for the BBC make programmes for X. Do you really need another polar bear program?

    The BBC is WAS .. It is far from that now. Even the NEWS has sunk down to a tabloid level. thus far this year I've watched Sky at night - The 6 tops gears and some horizon programme about waves. That is not £145 of value. When I look at iplayer there is nothing on that i want to watch. I'm done with TV for the most part.

    Sell me a 2560 x 1600 screen and I'd fucking buy one! I don't care what OS it is really. I open up another program and work with that. Os Vs Os is company marketing crap that is a non issue.
    I'm in the market for a laptop and there is nothing I want.
    NO matter how good the 16:9 screens get, No matter how high the resolution 2k,4k,6k I just don't want a stumpy screen. What about films?? On a 13" screen? It doesn't really matter!
