This is great news, I hope that everyone who has not contacted their MEP will do so via faxmymp or otherwise.
I may even go to the effort of sending a letter in the post to mine to say thanks, and to continue to listen elected voters over companies.
Remember the parliment makes the decision based on voters preferances, it it just up to us to tell MEPs what we want.
the system below, cut and pasted from a website.
you could do the same for pc's but it's a bit overkill
'ELCODE
The anti-theft protection of Mercedes-Benz cars has been perfected with the development of ELCODE (Electronic Code System), the intelligent access and drive authorisation system. At the center of this system is an electronic key with multiple functions and an ignition start switch which replaces the conventional ignition lock.
ELCODE's intelligent access authorisation system uses the innovative electronic key as its main component. The key contains two transmitters, one for transferring invisible infrared data and the other for emitting radio waves. With this dual signal transmission feature, Mercedes-Benz engineers have ensured that the system has both optimal reliability and a larger transmitter range. The car owner transmits the radio or infrared signal by pressing one of the transmission buttons in the key, unlocking or locking the central locking by remote. This system also enables various other functions to be remote controlled by the key that could not be done with a conventional type of key. Some of these features include remote boot opening, remote opening of the car windows, and sunroof if equipped.
To start the engine, the wedge shaped 'tongue' of the innovative key simply has to be inserted into the ignition start switch and briefly turned to the right once. Electronic systems control the start process autonomously until the engine starts running.
However, before then, a split-second check is performed inside the ignition start switch, as the electronic circuitry automatically checks that the right key has been inserted.
When the ignition has been switched on, a further test is performed, this time between the ignition start switch and the engine management system. This check is much more rigorous than the previous data check between the key and the ignition start switch and involves the engine computer asking the ignition start switch to solve a complex arithmetical problem. Both systems will run the problem simultaneously and the ignition start switch must come to the same result as the engine computer. If their solutions match, the starter motor is activated and the engine starts.
As soon as the engine is switched off and the key is removed, the vehicle becomes immobilised and will not start again until the key recognition and the ignition start switch / engine computer tests are passed again.
With technology this advanced, the vehicles owner can rest assured that their Mercedes-Benz will not be disappearing on them.'
They can cope with demand (if slashdotters ordered one)
I did, because I cannot get the demos to run on my equipment.
I remember having a load of boot disks for all the different memory settings.
Anyone else rememeber the day when DOS came out with Multi config.sys settings you could choose as boot up.
last useful thing microsoft done.
Eh Return?, did they ever go away? There are
loads of open source and freeware gaves out there.
It's just that people seem to pay more attention to music/video ripping/sharing stuff righ now
I was in Beijing before The 1st lord of the rings came out and got hold of a copt of the 1st film on DVD, It was very poor copy and the sound was awfull, however it was the original. It cost the about 60 uk pence (about $1).
You used to be able to get the pirate DVD's in shops but now they cut down on this becuase China wants to be in the WTO so the best thing to do is to go into some coffee shops and wait to be offered. There are some shops that seem to have the whole purpose of selling these DVD's.
I bought about 60 when I was there and About a third were unwatchable.
Also the english writing on the back is hilariously badly translated.
Sorry to reply to someone who has been moderated Troll but I agree.
And the dating site ones that mention these beautiful girls that have left a message for ME.
I mean I have never registered to any of these sites and yet the messages from beautiful girls are for me.
excellent
oh yes and if bonzi stop advertising on the internet then then we will have to help pay the website costs as the ad revenue dries up.
It is us the internet users who are benifiting at the moment from these adverts. It's like taking money from the stupid to pay for the websites of the informed.
1) Site gets money from advertisers
2) someone clicks on link, buys rubbish software
3) company buys more advertising
4) more free sites
And anyway.
Isn't Linux, effectivly an open source game.
A lot of people here seem to have fun 'playing' with it. Rather than actually using it for a 'real-world' productive use.
why should they care anyway. It's not like the points actually mean anything.
This is like all those people who complain about 'Karma Whores'.
Let them cheat, in fact give them a million points, just worry about the data I say
How about an interview with a normal everyday user in China (i.e. the chinese version of the average/. reader) asking what it is like to be a computer user/nerd over there
See how Microsoft wants everything to run windows and be compatable with everything else, so yout fridge can talk to your bedside lamp.
Well you guys seem to want everything to run Linux so everything takes hours to set up and no-one else can use it.
But heh, TiVo is Linux based and I like it. So cool.
no, but if you are on a long flight. For example I went from Hong Kong to Heathrow in jan, it took 12 hours,. everyones bodyclock is on different timezones on these types of flights and you need to sleep so that at the other end you can get off the plane and not have to crash out at a hotel all day.
Basically you need people to be quiet so that you can rest. People don't talk to much on planes but not much, partly because they don't know the person next to them.
With cell phones people would be having full on conversations and trae the place like an office.
Change your question, would you have someone sitting next to you for 12 hours, including when you go to bed, who had a cell phone.
They will Ban them again, not for safety reasons but 'for the comfort of other passangers'.
I would choose an airline with a 'no-cellphone' policy. especially on long haul flights.

yes but these could only be used to play tunes (Fm synthisis on Adlib bit better on Roland)
any explosions were silly musical sounds
Creative added a DAC and then people took PC games seriously.

top of the line mercs don't have ignition keys.
well try any make a folder private. you can't without NTFS

Why don't you just e-mail her and ask her who she works for. She probably will not say as she will think you are some wierd amazon reviewer stalker.
But if she works for amazon she *must* say.
Anyone involved in gurilla marketing has to admit it when asked. That is why it's not classed as deception.
