Yeah same, i get the form, can fill in some value and click the button. I even see the "Incorrect value!" message appear but there is nothing else. I don't get a gradient:(
People have mentioned a lack of isobars, wind direction, strength, muddy colours etc.
On our version we get an isobar map first, which shows the bars changing, fronts coming through etc. Then a broad sweep over the country showing weather effects like cloud/rain + temperature/wind info overlayed by town. Then a close up on the major centres (6 are shown). The weather is very nice showing what the temperature will go down to tonight, in the morning, and afternoon.
Perhaps the BBC is doing something different and leaving out some of the info we see here. That would be their decision.
As for the muddy colour of the map. Perhaps the British should wake up and realise that their green-and-pleasant land isn't a vibrant shade of green any more. AFAIK it uses true colour satillite images of the landscape. So that mud colour is what your country looks like.
and f-lock damn it.
Keyboards are getting worse for this stuff. Damn f-lock being off on start up is annoying if you use windows and have to press F8 or whatever it is to interrupt the boot process.
And those sleep/suspend buttons! I want to disable them in Windows, but there is no option. Now I can lock the keyboard using some software so my 2yr old daughter can't press any buttons, but it doesn't disable that button!
The exact same thing happened at my company. Except the Russian firm developed magical powers and could fly around the room. And shoot lasers and stuff.
I'm from NZ...
Nuclear reactors: depends on the design. A pebble-bed reactor design sounds perfect for us and plenty of other countries. No nasty maintenance or melt-down problems because they can't happen. They are walk-away safe, instead of using the bolt on safety of current designs.
There is an issue of maintainability here though.
Will there be a patch, or will MS believe they have fixed it by telling everyone to just use this piece of code? I wouldn't want to have to rememeber to add this code everytime I write a webapp in the future - forgetting to add it in 1 year's time and getting bitten.
Code re-use or in this case copy+pasting code isn't a nice idea either. One alteration here for a special case and you might end up copying it into multiple applications.
Does it interefere with current apps that need or use a \ in their path?
Websites now might have this code added which will live there for the rest of their lives, even after a patch is produced.
In places like New Zealand we can have a range of speed limits (50,60,70,80,100km/h), and some roads vary as you move through dense areas into less dense.
It would be nice to have the car remember what the speed limit was. I have driven along the road, stopped at a place for a few hours, and when returning to the road couldn't remember what the speed limit for the current section was.

Problem turned out to be that FF1.5b1 needs gdiplus.dll. Windows XP comes with it, but earlier versions of windows needs to download it separately. read more here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=1731 455#1731455

The NZ version is used on TV 1 and TV 3 here.

Can't we do both? I mean if you are nuking a moon, you need to eat, right?j
That is taken straight from that episode of Star Trek last season

if there is no one there to hear it, will it make a sound?
What about MS Word...

Time to go back to VHS. At least I can fast-forward through copyright warnings and adverts.

Perhaps it was the terrorists who called Homeland Security. They might be taking advantage of the govt to do their terrorism for them.
