  1. Re:Compare with $100 bill, just paper on Lies, Damned Lies, and the UK Copyright Industry · · Score: 1

    A $100 bill actually worth $100 dollars, though. That is to say, that I can trade a $100 bill to someone for $100 worth of goods. I can't do that with an mp3 file, it has essentially no resale value in my hands.

  3. Re:Whats a p? on Music Streaming to Overtake Downloads · · Score: 1

    You never use £ and p in the same figure. It's very uncommon to use decimals when using pence, you usually just use more decimal places for a pound value.

    But has to slow down in certain residential areas, near crossings etc.

    And so do cars, and there's still the problem of cars having to sit in traffic.

    They do if it's a red light on the track.

    Red lights on a train journey are significantly less frequent than in a car journey.

    You don't actually have to be sober or alert in a car, although it does help.

    Is that supposed to be some sort of rebuttal? You are significantly safer in a train than you are in a car if you are not sober or not alert.

    Oh, and have you seen the price of a soggy bacon buttie on a train? Parking is usually cheaper!

    How much does a bacon buttie cost in your car?

    If all cars were electrically powered, this might be up for debate.

    If all cars were electrically powered then this might not be completely obviously a win for the train. As it is, you're right, it's not up for debate, the train wins.

    I guess if the truth sounded anything like what you're saying then, yes, it would change the warming theory.

  13. Re:Educational materials especially should be Free on What Can I Do About Book Pirates? · · Score: 1

    People are free to do what they want with their time, knowledge and effort. That shouldn't infringe on our rights to copy the fruits of that and use our own time, knowledge and effort to further spread it.
