  1. Re-define broadband on U.S. Broadband Access Falling Behind · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The original subject suggested the President wasn't going to meet his stated goal of broadband availability. Might I suggest he follow the excellent idea of Tony Blair and his New Labour govt who made the same promise? Once you realise you haven't got a cat's chance in hell of delivering what you promised, re-define the word broadband to include ISDN.

    Problem solved!

  2. Re:The first cash machine was BRITISH!!!! on History of the Automatic Teller · · Score: 1

    Obscure trivia for British readers - the first customer to use the machine was Reg Varney from On the Buses.

    Read this in the Sunday Times magazine a couple of weeks ago and they even had an accompanying photo from the opening ceremony.

  3. Rejected on Dirac: BBC Open Source Video Codec · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    So when I submitted this on the 22nd April it gets rejected, but now ntk runs a story it's newsworthy. Is there any reason why individuals submit stories as standalone interesting items if they need the validity of another tech site first?

  4. Re:Sharing taped shows (replay and so on) on Slashback: Squashing, N'Synch, Yopy · · Score: 1

    Not in the UK it isn't. We're allowed to keep stuff recorded of the telly for 2 weeks..
