Ah but, according to the article, credit and bank fraud are far more common than counterfeit cash.
I can't remember where I heard about it, bbc website or the TV news, but a recent report concluded that CCTV did not produce a drop in violent crime. However, the serverity of the injuries suffered was reduced because the emergency services could get on the scene quicker.
Personally, I am not a big fan of being watched everytime I enter the city centre - but I offset this against the fact the Police Officers could be deployed more effectively. I feel the same way about speed / safety cameras.
The runner from GB quite literally went to pieces emotionally toward the end of the race
To be fair to Paula Radcliffe her emotional reaction was less to do with the pressure, but more to do with her disappointment of not being able to run the race.
Of course, her inability to win the race, as she was expected to, maybe have been down to pressure.
Walking upright does have at least one disadvantage - The pelvis has to be stronger, as it is carrying more weight. In humans it became more bulky, narrowing the birth canal, making for more painful / dangerous births, and smaller more vunerable offspring.
Of course, this didn't stop us surviving.
With regards to hunting, I thought that the best human defence was not that we moved about on two feet, but that we developed more mentally - particularly with regards to groups tactics and the use of tools / weapons.
Is it possible that we are going to see more and more covers, and less and less orginal material, now that many "classics" are reaching the end of their copyright protection?
Start campaigning now for more prohibative copyright rules. You'll regret not doing it after the 50 Cent / Britney duet of "I got you babe", or Timberlake's "Blue Suede Shoes"
First up I am a massive Tour cycling fan, but the whole doping issue is a big problem in the sport.
And we are seeing a lot of cases now of people never failing a drugs test, but being implicated in doping offences. David Millar, the GB Rider, has just been booted from the Tour and Athens for admitting to using EPO. And he hadn't failed a test.
Personally, I believe that Armstrong is clean, he is a great rider with a very powerful team. Or at least I have a lot more confidence about him being clean than I do about other US atheletes / sportspeople.
In the past I have had many design meetings with Contractors, and the fact that one of us maybe use imperial and the other metric has never been a problem.
Lots of construction items have not changed size, just names (like steels), and the other items tend to go up in 25mm increments (timber) allowing easy conversion to the nearest inch.
Every time this argument comes around we have the same old points, but (and I know this is/.) I can't remember seeing any real evidence. So here are some questions that prehaps can be answered with more than opinion.
1) How much have artists lost out because of d/ls?
2) How many people would actually buy a legal copy of the product after "sampling" it?
3) Revenue from touring vs cd sales, which is greater (and lets have some numbers here)?
4) Estimated cost to people working within the record industry, but not artists ie. studio's, cd ractory staff etc?
5) Do record companies make excessive profit on cd sales? What would be an acceptable level of profit?
I am sure that there are hundreds more questions that people, who would like to make a more informed decision, want answered. I am all ears for evidence. But I am not holding my breath.
In the UK a lot of call centres were outsourced to India etc. But now a lot of them are being returned for a few reasons. Reasons that can be summed up as "it was more hassle than it was worth".
Imagine a linux warship. Each captain / officer could bring their own distro and boot it off the cd. The only real question would be to run it from the command line or not. And think of the support avail able to the ships crew via mailing lists and irc.
And could you imagine a beowulf cluster of these things?
Is SpamCop telling the ISPs to shut him down. Or is it just telling them that he is using them? Surely, then the decision to shut him off is the ISP's?.
What if ISPs ask spamcop (or whomever) to provided infomation about spammers? Although, they should be able to police their own.
Really though, how come spam is still been sent? Do the marketeers really make their money back through sales of their high quality products?
I find this whole 100% coverage a bit strange. Living in the southwest of england (Devon and Cornwall) coverage is nowhere near 100%. One network might cover the area but others won't. So I don't think that wireless networking has much of a chance.
And does 100% mean population or area? Both in low denisty population areas is surely pointless in terms of cost and visual impact on the enviroment?
I am not a graphics person, but on slashdot I play one. But I have used both Photoshop and GIMP for my modest graphics needs. And Photoshop was far easier to do stuff with. Purely becuase the functions that I wanted to use where in the places I expected them to be. GIMP's menu system had me searching for hours, even with the help (which is poor, I think).
However, this is probably because I was more used to Windows interfaces.When I used PS on a Mac I was also a bit puzzled about what was going on.
Despite that I am switching to GIMP as part of my move to Linux. vim was equally confusing at first, but now when I switch back to a windows editor I keep pressing i everytime I start to type. GIMP probably is good enough for the most of us. But are we patient enough to learn how to use it.
In the UK the laws for corporate manslaughter mean that if a Civil Engineer (and this is an example as I have experience in this industry) makes a mistake with a construction they can individually be prosecuted.
Which is probably Civil Enigneers are a lot more careful at sticking to proper procedure and QA.
I am gald to see that most people seemed to get along with these but my only experience was bad.
It was used to help set up a new office were cash was tight - but it just proved a nightmare for people to use. So slow and unreliable - just like the IT support guy there.
Now many times have I been asked to quote on a project with out having any specs.
Some people just don't know what they want just think that they want it. However, they always know "that is a quick and simple job, shouldn't cost too much"

Whether it is true or not I believe that in most, if not all, UK Petrol Stations you are not allowed to use your phone.
Possibly because most people can't talk and fill at the same time?

Yeah, right up gee dubya's ass.
It is good to see that our two countries (GB and AUS) still have much in common.
I am looking at you Blair.

After the WMD ficaso hasn't the term "smoking gun" been redefined to mean "imcriminating evidence (that we would like to find)"?

Bring back Jeri Ryan. Walking plot-elements rock, occasionally.
rock she may, but apparently she does not swing.

It really sucks to lose something once you've set it loose.
But if it comes back then it must be love?

From what I read about the lax drug testing in US sports maybe a chemical analysis of the player would be more interest?
