    In am an EU plod, i was sat here opposite my American collegue reading this just saying i wonder how long it would take for some tit to start the EU v US patriotic rant.

    This may come as a bit of a shock, but no one fcuking hates you at all, we are not what the American news service says we are.

    And before you rant off on remember, it seems perfectly justified for your country to go against the rest of the UN and do things you think its best, you try and enforce your law on the rest of the world perhaps its time you tried intergrating and find out what the rest of the world is like.

  8. Please Read. on Barbra Streisand, Miss Vermont, And Your Website · · Score: 2

    Why should an actor or actress have more protection than any other person, if they are allowed to hide their addresses etc to stop stalkers why is it that everyone else's address's are out there.

    What makes the life of an actor or actress any more valuable than my life or yours.

    Ok he tracked them down and shot them dead but whats the difference between that and the other thousands that are shot dead every day in the rest of the world. You could even argue the fact that they make no real contribution to the real world, only in make belive (although this is not my point of view) no life is any more or less important than any other life.

  9. Gods Damn it.. get a grip on Mars Express launch today · · Score: 1

    I was not going to enter this pan global slanging match but i have decided to lay down my 2 cents worth (or euros or pence or whatever)

    The Europeans are as bad as the Americans except they dont get on the high horse about unlike the post that this is attached to....

    it is also unfair to compare schroeder to bush, the reasons why the europeans hate bush is he is a war mongering idiot that could not outwit a yoghurt, but for the same reason people hate blair becuase he is a sycophantic war mongering manipulative little tit who generally goes against the wishes of the people that voted him in.

    The idea that Euro's hate US is the stupid, almost as stupid as US hating Euro's, the only differnce is americans take it too heart too easily and euro's keep on going on and and on about.

    all sides, shut up sit down admit every population has its faults (im my case spellin) and either lighten up or go to a slightly less intellectual web site to spout your zenophobic bollocks.

  17. Re:SMS ? on Is There Room for an IM only Device ? · · Score: 1

    SMS in the UK costs usually in the region of 10p a text (but this can be lowered by adding on packages on to the tariff) in fact it is a large selling point of a tariff based on the amount of free sms txt's that the user will get from the supplier. I read on BBC not long ago that the UK sents something in the region of 1Billiob txts a month now, pretty much every one from the ages of 11 to 40 has a mobile phone with a large number older than that also having one.

    And lets not forget MMS, i also do this but iut is more expensive (30p a message) and using my nokia 7650 i can send multimedia messages to other users, using a voice recording, a piccy and txt (all created with the phone) to get a better point accross.

    I think honestly IM devices will never take off in europe simply becuase there is a cheaper alternative.

  18. Re:Sometimes im glad on Pentagon Soft-Pedals Total Information Awareness · · Score: 1

    The point of the data protection agency (a well funded and working agency) is that for a company etc for hold data on you they have to register the types and reason that are to be registered, this information is open, for example

    http://www.dpr.gov.uk/cgi-bin/dpr98-fetch.pl?sou rc e=DPR&docid=148942

    this is the entry for the company that i work for (The Royal Mail Group) as a computer developer.

    For the maximum sum of 10 quid you can apply to your employer (government, phone company etc) and they have to (by law) supply you with the information that they hold on you, the only reason this is not case is if the information is 'classified, national security etc' which of course your employer cant do

  19. Sometimes im glad on Pentagon Soft-Pedals Total Information Awareness · · Score: 4, Insightful

    dont get me wrong, im far from the ancient european critising the USA.

    But there are times when living in the UK is sooo much more attractive than living in the US, at least we have a strong Data protection Act that gives us access to any information gathered by us.

    And shamefully (being a privacy crusader myself) have even been put off travelling to the USA now as my information is already passed to airport security (my name, visa card number, what meal i had on the plane (true) etcetc) before the place has even had time to taxi down the runway.

    I know that this will be flamed or trolled out becuase of the patriots within the slashdot crowd or i will have many responses based on the, but we are America and better, but bear in mind this is not supposed to reflect on the nation as a whole (paranoid although it is) or the poeple just a simple statement based on the privacy of the people.
