Of course not everyone can get this but it is pretty amazing, hours of archived shows. All all the various stations live and only the normal license fee to cover it all.
For me and a millions of other budding musicians how are we to learn our instruments. Are guitar tabs are covered by this copyright (even if they are interpretaions and not accurate)? I normally try and find the sheet music first (since this is the most accurate source) but 90 % of the music i listen to, there are no printed music out there. So I have to go on line to find the tabs and lyrics. Don't blame the artisits here either since usually they'd love you to be able to play their music but since they sold the rights to the publishing companies they have no say in it.
Andam Hart Davis has a programme on the BBC at the moment and in it he created the experiment at a smaller scale. He used a round disc with a lot of small flat mirrors that could be tilted to focus a beam of light onto a boat. With in a few seconds smoke started coming out. It worked and was shown on tv recently.
Just because 50% of papers are incorrect has no real baring on the integrity science. Because its not the publishing of papers that make a theory correct.In Science for a theory to be accepted as being 'fact' it must be testable make predictions and be falsifiable.
Ioannidis says
"We should accept that most research findings will be refuted. Some will be replicated and validated. The replication process is more important than the first discovery," Ioannidis says.
Ehh Yeah Mr Iannidis you need to take a lesson in the Philosophy of Science thats the whole reason of Science you publish a paper its gets checked by its peers then the if its hold up to further test and prediction it becomes stonger till it eventually gets universal approval! Duh
The real problem is when a paper gets published the press get hold of it, sensationalise it before its ever gone through the proper scientific checks i've just mentioned.
In Britain if you are made redundant from a job (Note not sacked/fired) Then the company that made you redundant cannot employ someone in the same position as you once had, until after a fixed period has elapsed. If they want to do that they have to sack you with due cause i.e you have to have been incompetent at your job etc. You do however get paid a statutory fee for the number of years worked.
However there is a loop hole where by you can be made redundant and your position filled by a similary qualified person by having your position outsourced abroad. I find this rather odd that you can be allowed to do this!!
Thank god its not Sweden its even stricter my freind was demoted to a receptionist until he left of his own free will. Then they filled his position agian.
Bravo! Youv'e Highlighted some of the key thinkers that had a major influence on the Golden period of thinking the age of enlightenment. I know we talk alot about some of the philosphers ideas on reason but the people you mention are the men who gave it practical purpose. Its a pity this is now reversing we live in an age of mumbo jumbo and unreason.
London did get bombed after the 'square mile' was put in place they just bombed outside the square mile or other centers like canary wharf. The other interesting thing is yes the cameras did help identify the guys that did the recent bombings. However for some reason these cameras stopped working when the police shot an innoccent man on the tube!
Red Hat have trademarked Red Hat and that will do them very nicely. See Red Had you see linux . There is no need to exploit the linux trademark for redhat. Novell on the other hand proabably do need the Linux Trademark Novell does not mean linux distro since they have many other products. Trademarks are about product association. Somebody could create a whole new Os and call it linux which would not be right, the trademark will protect that. However morally every vendor should pay the license since the protection of the Trademark benifits all the vendors. If nobody Trademarked or protected the Linux trade mark and the name became synonmous with a bad 'other' product I'm sure the distros would all be pissed off.
Although it seems that Dixon pulling out of the 35 mm market doesn't seem that significant but if other retailers start to follow suit then I can see that 35 mm camera (esp. SLR) will rise in price. Ok Digital prices will drop but for pro photographers and amateurs who still like use 35mm format they will be the losers as they have to pay the extra price. Ok a lot of pro photograpers (magazine and newspapers) use use digital because its easiar and quicker to get into print. However for the more artistically minded 35 mm is better. Have you ever tried to use a wide angle lens on digital the focal length multiplier really screws things up. For example on cannon I think the multiplier is 1.6 great for zoom but tribble for wide angle unless you buy a 10 mm lens!!
As a some one that records music its now becoming more expensive to record analogue tracks its really hard to get hold of tapes for my 8track. I know that digital eventually can cope with the requirements but why take samples of the real thing! Have you tried to do distortion in digital its horrible!
Err Its not actually free. We (Brits) pay a license fee and therefore we have a right to access those performances since we paid from them. If this case wins then ITV and other non-license fee channels could argue that all free t.v is illegal!
Morse code last year officially stopped being used on the ocean waves. But I hear that on the canary islands they have a messaging system that uses whistles. Apparently you can have a quite good conversation using this technique over vast distances. SMS vs Morse vs One man and his dog

Cell phones on the subway! Didn't the madrid bombers use cells phones to activate the bombs?
