  1. Re:F*ck the license fee! on British Goverment to Reshape BBC Governance · · Score: 1
    My objection is, I'm paying a telly tax. And incidentally, my Sky Bill is £9 a month. And it's a lot more interesting to me than gardening and Eastenders. I like Ads. I can get up and take a pee, or get a beer, and I don't miss anything.

    Also, i don't trust anyone for news, no one gives it completely non-bias. They might criticise the Government, but they do it in a half assed way.

    They weren't reserved; the Chairman spoke up and lost his job. Funny how no one has pointed out that he could do them for unfair dismissal now we know that the 45 minute was, in fact, as we knew all along, complete bollocks.

  3. F*ck the license fee! on British Goverment to Reshape BBC Governance · · Score: 0
    I know they're talking of 2017, but they want to abolish the license fee and either blanket tax every house, or charge a PC tax in order to cover themselves in case we download stuff.

    Why the hell can i get hundreds and hundreds of channels on Sky, and yet I have to cough up every month just in case i watch BBC1 or BBC2 (the extra channels, are, I believe, not funded from the license fee)

    with the exception of a black driver

    And there's Chekov and Sulu, down the front, both driving, they both had steering wheels! Too many steering wheels... but you never saw them in the morning, when they came in to the starship Enterprise, going, "Oh, get the engine on, Chekov! It's fucking freezing in here! Boy!" (mimes starting up ship) You also never saw them backing up either, Chekov going... (mimes backing up) "Captain Kirk, put your head down a bit."

    Or just maybe they're concentrating on their hardware like Apple do?

    While the hell does every company nowadays have to release source code just to be accepted by you guys? Sun have been doing their thing, and doing it well, for years. They don't need to pander to you Open Source hippies in order to succeed.

    You do - Anakin is Vader before the suit, or at least that was my understanding, although the captions seem to indicate otherwise. I thought he became Vader around the point that Obi-wan and Yoda seem him kneeling before Palpatine

  15. Re:erm... on NSA to Become Government Net 'Traffic Cop?' · · Score: 1

    But these are still private networks that i'm going to assume must link up with the Gov Net to share data around. This still isn't the Internet, and it's scaremongering to say so. Personally, I would have said it was a good idea.

  16. erm... on NSA to Become Government Net 'Traffic Cop?' · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I can't read the article, as my wonderful UK Government overseers have deemed it bad enough to go on the proxy blacklist, but... how is policing Government networks the same as policing the entire Internet???
