Whilst I'm sure examples of this exist, it goes the other way too.
I used to live somewhere that F1 teams started testing on a disused air strip. It was used occasionally for some motor sport previously but was inaudible outside of its immediate environs. When F1 teams moved in, areas that had been peaceful for decades (since the site strip was last used in WW2) were suddenly subject to a lot of noise - villages and urban areas miles and miles away from the site.
It's not just the immediate surroundings of a race track for just the duration of the events that suffer at the hands of noise pollution caused by motor racing.
This is an article I quickly googled, but it was going on for years- http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/new...
TFA says '..youâ(TM)ll quickly see that it doesnâ(TM)t feel the same as Gmailâ"and thatâ(TM)s the point. Gmailâ(TM)s still there for you, but Inbox is something new....' So it doesn't sound like it will be compulsory at all. Just an optional 'view' or secondary app maybe.
It sounds quite appealing to me and it would fit in well to my email workflow but I'll wait to try it..
Except out side major tourney's (every 2 years) (like Euro 2004, which IIRC was 50% covered by ITV) there is fuck all TV on the BBC apart from highlight shows, and you have to pay Murdoch through the nose to watch the good stuff anyway.
The BBC provide 4 Channels without advertisments for free, not to mention numerous radio shows (local and national) on analog and digital networks (as well as being broadcast and archived online). The license fee also pays for bbc news and all their online services.
I don't know if you were beating on some stereotypical view of what the BBC provides or not, but we get paid TV here Cable & Satellite which is the same dross as you see in the US. Hundreds of channels of shite (with commercials, that you pay for).
Ultimately you get what you pay for, and the BBC delivers far more than any other broadcaster in the world as far as I can see.
I didn't make this plain in my daddy post, but I do download TV, and it is exclusively American.
At the moment it's exclusively The OC where in the UK we are about a half-season behind, but previously it has been Buffy, Angel, or whatever.
I think I've only downloaded British TV when its been something I've been watching but missed an EP for whatever reason.
The people who don't pay the TV License (which is ~$200 USD a year) still have and watch TV's.
Most people just pay it, it's not a big deal. It funds the BBC and some of Channel 4 (and a tiny bit of five). In the case of the BBC they put out top notch TV with no commercials - I bet you pounds to donuts many people in the US would pay that kinda money not to see Commercials on that kind of output.

It's good how they manage to land safely though.
Isn't Bill Gates the current CTO of microsoft? what happens to him. I reckon his redundancy package is probably alright though.
Are you tellin' me you don't watch TV?
You are part of an insignificent minority though.

Sellafield is nowhere near London. It's about a 300 mile drive away according to Multimap. It's at the complete opposite side of the country.
