In England you do NOT get a ticket for just sitting in the passing lanes. You can sit in the outside lane at 85 (speed limit is 70) all day and generally you will not be bothered, although you WILL piss off a lot of drivers. I used to regulalrly pass police cars on the M65 to Preston I was doing 80 to 85 and never got bothered once.
If you get rear-ended, it's ALWAYS the oher guy's fault. It's YOUR responsibility to ALWAYS make sure you can stop in the distance available to you, (and yes that includes mechanical failure)
I remember recently a day in the UK - two stories in the newspaper... a) man convicted of manslaughter - drunk driver killed a little girl. Got off with a hefty fine and some points on his license because his lawer argued that he had a very important job and so he shouldn't go to jail. Neither should he be banned because he needs his car for his important job. b) Man kills his wife's pet parrot in a drunken rage by biting it's head off. Gets 5 years in jail for animal cruelty.
In the UK,the "CO" of Colin" is pronounced very short and sharp, as in "dog" or the "Boll" in "Bollywood". the way he pronounces it the O is extended and long to rhyme with "GO" or "SO"
Bad grammar has an effect on me. I am affected by bad grammar.

I'm interested in how you map wireless access points with the GPS
How does this all work? You need to triagulate the position of the AP somehow, (by just driving around?) is there a package that does this? How does it do this magic?
Who is Steve Jobbs and what has he got to do with Apple?
The CEO of Apple, Steve Jobs is just that, the CEO, if he has a desire to make Apple into a major S/W outfit, he will. He usually gets his way. Apple machines are so quiet because of his own personal hatred of ambient noise - just a small example.
Any such mod to license plates is illgeal in the UK and are likely to get you a very hefty fine. Here are the rules. You can't use the "reflective" plates that some people sell that are supposed to defeat speed cams. You can't even use fancy fonts any more - and you certainly can't use the old trick of dirtying up your plate "sorry officer, was driving through the dirt roads in the countryside yesterday" - nope, can't do that, it's illegal to even have a dirty plate
They used to be film based, and many still are I think. The problem with that is keeping them stocked up with film.
People in the UK used to routinely ignore speed cameras because they knew that the chances of there being any film in them were slim. The flash goes off as if it's taking an image even when there isn't any film in them.
I understand that they're all being replaced with digital cameras - either hard drives or a direct wireless link to the control room.
I was merely pointing out that the parent of my reply was incorrect in stating that Roland checks his grammar. His grammar is obviously wrong to a native English speaker, but as you say, it could be acceptable for someone who's native tongue is not English.

well, it;s just satellite imagery, we've had that for years. :)
It is awsome though to be able to see your house from space
Don't understand your sig, why are you comparing your photo with Google's satellite image???
Are you suprised that they look the same?
Neptec is working with NASA for ten years now
Tick. Yep. Checked for bad grammar.
Apologies for the drool dribbling down your screen from this message.

Surely the answer is to rotate the shield harmonics?
