    Yep. I flummoxed my Careers Advisor with this question. She advised going into technology, which is what I had already decided on, and here I am. Not in NASA, though.

    "If instead of targeting someone "pasty" conducting business on a cell phone in an expensive car, you had chosen a Mexican conducting business on a radio from a van, it would have been "hate speech" and a bunch of heroes (a.k.a. "activists") would have put on face paint, beat drums, and waved placards in your face denouncing you as a "hate monger"

    A Mexican conducting business on a radio from a van does not constitute Yuppy Twatness. Someone "pasty" conducting business on a cell phone in an expensive car does indeed.

    Or Pimpness.

    Yes, yes. But I have no copyright symbol on my keyboard (must get the Sinclair Spectrum online), hence the (TM).

    However, the point I was making was, why over-copyright things that no-one would really want to use in the PD, or things that would not:

    a)make you money if protected, or

    b)lose you money if released from copyright.

    ie, What's all the fuss about here??
