I think they already do. Most UK ISPs already have peering agreements with the BBC. For me a traceroute to bbc.co.uk is 8 hops. It never leaves my ISPs or the BBCs network.
"his reasoning is often biased". That's the understatement of the year!
I don't believe in hocus-pocus but to approach these subjects with such a closed mind just makes James Randi look a fool.
I saw him on TV once where he had a dowser locating something by working on a map of an area. The dowser went straight to the square on the map (out of 100s) that contained the buried object. Strangely Mr Randi didn't have an answer for that one. Chance? Probably, but this was live TV and he just made himself look stupid.
I've been to the National Archives researching 1st world war records (fascinating place BTW). These were stored on reel to reel tapes (similar to microfiche) that you viewed with a special machine. These are pretty much future proof, other than the fact that they will decay over time. ASCII would not be a good medium as they contain hand written comments etc.
We was looking for records of a certain A.J. Wheeler (whose name is carved in the basement wall of my GFs fathers house in the Somme area, France). You wouldn't believe how many A.J.Wheelers there were!
Amen! Personally I stick to the Windows 'classic' look (even on Vista). Can't stand it when an app decides to use its own theme.. (that includes Office 2007 BTW)
I've finally got Vista running like Windows 2000 here. One thing I miss is the ability to drag an icon onto a cmd window, previously it used to fill in the path but it doesn't work with Vista.
If you want to query it, your machine has to read to entire file, throw out the lines it doesn't want, and present the results
That is incorrect. FoxPro only reads only the data it needs.
I know this will come across as flamebait, and I'd normally not say this, but anyone who claims that FoxPro is fast is a hobbyist programmer. It's simply not fast by any imaginable standard other than the trivial case of small files on a single user's drive.
Another lie. I've written FoxPro apps that are used in 100+ multiuser environments with multi gigabytes of data. Fast as hell.
I'm not saying it's better that client-server but to say FoxPro is slow is wrong. You can write crap applications in any language you know.

The UK only under certain conditions. e.g there is no possibility of the death penality for the crimes committed.
Why not?
128MB? In the mid 80s? Maybe you mean 4Mb :-)
There's no commercials on the BBC. Wouldn't you pay for that?

I agree but have you seen Office 2007? Totally different UI. Now relies heavily on the mouse which is really frustrating.

You just described every PDA released in the past 5 years.

What always amazes me is the fact that cheques (er, checks) are still so common in the US. I haven't had a cheque book here in the UK for years.
You don't *need* to have all these elections on the same day you know.
There's no shitty brushed metal so it can't be a Mac.

Yuck!!!! No thanks!
Not just Poland, also in 2004: Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Slovakia and Slovenia.
Forget Ogg, what about AVI?
And just like the US Clear Channel are in bed with TicketMaster. Kickbacks anyone?
You spelt SeaCrate wrong.

For what it's worth I agree with the parent. NT4 with SP6 was rock solid.
IIRC Dungeon Master was the first Amiga game to require 1Mb of RAM and actually increased memory upgrade sales.

Emirates had touch screen thingies on the back of every seat the last time I flew with them.
