Sellafield is right up in the north west of england. London is in the south east. The people who decided where to put Sellafield(then Windscale) are, however, based in London. Strangely they decided the best place for it was as far away as possible.
If an oil tanker crashes the captain is responsible and takes the blame. They are required be able to navigate without GPS.
Every time the US comes out with this crap it reinforces the idea that they have no idea what a terrorist is, or how they work. You don't need GPS to hide a bomb in a city centre bin.
People stop behind the senser, and then wait for the lights to change. Thermal camaras and magnetic sensors can't see cyclists. These systems are in use, and need a lot more work before they are really useful.
Next thing you know, the Secretary General's son will own your domain name, and you'll have to pay his Swiss lords a monthly fee to use it.
Can you give any examples of similer things happening in the past?
The traditional response is that touring makes a loss but promotes the album. Without an album to sell there is little point in touring, especially on the small scale that new bands do. Clear Channel may profit, but the band themselves would be heavily in debt in no time.
I thought that all their funding came from the licence fee. I certainly prefer that to the endless streams of adverts that fund other TV stations. The BBC has a reputation for quality and impartiality, which I think a lot of Britains are proud of. Witness last summers controversy over a radio broadcast made at 7:15am. I can't imagine the board of News International resigning because Fox News used a story from a single source.
There are other ways of finding one's position. If Bin Laden has a decent map, a compass and a local guide the US can bugger about with GPS all it likes, they still won't be able to lead him off somewhere. Likewise missiles can track their position using dead reckoning(counting the miles some other way, using a gyroscope compass to stay on track). They won't know exactly where they are but they will still hit the US. There's plenty of population centers close enough to Washington that the missile may hit accidently.
The only people who will really be effected by disabling these systems are the civilians who paid for them.
Seems to me the US are just throwing their weight around again, and hiding behind FUD.
Troll. The railways were certainly flogged for a song by the Tories. Since then public subsidies have doubled (to nearly 2 billion pounds p/a), services have gotten worse and investment in maintenance and new stock effectivly stopped. In York hundreds of people lost their jobs when orders for new trains ceased. When the tracks became fatally dangerous more public money was used to patch them up.
If the government were still pulling the strings they may have stopped investment, but they would not have let the subsidies increase. The nearest the government comes to directly controlling the railways is via the the railways watchdog, with whom they have had very public arguments.
"deployment of IPv6 networks across the globe will be gradual, gradual as michael easing himself into taco's backside, the two standards will coexist for many years to come."
But I don't walk to talk to some agency kids, I want to speak to the people who made the mistakes in the first place. Companies who hire other people to answer their phones are avoiding their customers and have something to hide, or at least give that impression.
Bad analogy. You are constantly listening to the engine, the road etc and adjusting the controls to suit.
What would be cool is if a senser built into the car constantly monitored the tatoo and warned you if you were getting low and needed to get off the road.
The opportunites for branding are scary. Stuff Nike swooshes, now the name of your preferred soft drink just appears when you need it.
One suggestion thats been around for a while is the energy saving that could be made by painting all the roofs white. There's a study here. This info has been around for a few years. Has anything been done about this? Living in the UK I'm certainly glad that the US has found another way to burn up the remaining supplies of oil.
I like good computer books, they tell you stuff you didn't realise you need to know. 'Running Linux' told me how to write letters using Latex, and 'MySQL and mSQL' showed me just enough PHP to get me interested and encouraged me to start playing.
If you do a Google search you can usually find what to do, but without the explanations that let you know why you're doing it.
If Bill, Steve and so on are using MS Money to do their finances then at least M$ will have one application that's been fully checked for buffer overflows...
Can anyone cite any other [industry / realm / product space] where one is required to retain all receipts in order to prove ownership?
IRATA, the International Rope Access Trade Association do audits of their members and can demand to see all the test certificates and the reciept for any piece of climbing equipment their members own. It is, of course, all voluntary and they argue that it is neccessary to prevent companies killing their employees. It's a lot of work for the members and very expensive. Most of them use databases to track their kit and... Hang on, I've got a great idea for a killer app. I wonder how much people would pay to keep these vultures off their back.
Whilst these LED lights are bright enough for home use they are still nowhere near bright enough to take on traditional theatre lights, even the old rusty buckets that light up the curtain in my local cinema. These seems like another way to buy time while the research continues. I think it will eventually pay off, at which point those patents will be hot property, and companies such as Artistic Licence in Britain who are working along the same lines will have a fight on their hands...
The revoloution is still in development... At the moment these lights are not bright enough, and the range of colours that they produce is quite limited. They tend not to do white very well. On the last tour Pink Floyd used a lot of VL5's, made by Vari*lite. These fade between colours by spinning plates of coated glass in front of the lamps. Some readers may find Vari*lites approach to patents distressing. I belive they use cold light mirrors that reflect light but not heat.

Occasionally heard on London's Oxford Street: "How did they get those generators up there? And how do they refuel them?"
Britain extends beyond Greater London. Radio 1 is national, Capital and Heart are local.

Once you know Luton, nothing is funny anymore...
I've heard Livin' On A Prayor so many times I'm not convinced that weddings and parties aren't Mr Jovis current major income source.
