Another example, the lego collectors website called "Brickbay" which was forced to change it's name by eBay. One sells used and new Lego, the other sells everything from knock-off Perfume to Dodgy grey imports. Hardly comparable.
And Brickbay (Now "Bricklink") looks NOTHING like eBay...
Hand-held console, SD card interface and Free dev tools from the word go. Ok, so It's primarily a home-brew console from the start, but commercial games ARE starting to appear.
Surprisingly enough It's happened to a colleage of mine.
Someone added their mobile phone to his account so that he had to pay for the calls. This is the UK so different result here. The mobile company (vodaphone) told him that anyone who quoted his name, address, and date of birth could link any phone to his account and they could do nothing about it (nor wanted to, it seems)
Result? Yep, they expect him to pay and if he wants some sort of Justice he has to get the police involved himself. Whoever did this must have registerd the phones to their own addresses, provided evidence of ID to get them... the mind boggles that they are getting away with it!
Now of course if they were seen dropping litter, or speeding they would be infront of a judge PDQ!
Yes, it does sound more like Blair's britain every day. My objective now is to make pots of money and go live somewhere else - apparently over 25% of the UK public feel the same way.
D'oh. Many, Many (grovelling) appologies... I Got confused with Oceania (Australia/etc) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceania
And to think I actually had to "Read" 1984 for my English GCSE course (In my defence that was some 15 years ago...)
Looks like I have to stand by my comments on the British educational system, then;-)
Will read 1984 again (properly this time...)
Let's see... Eurasia is Europe and Asia, and Oceania is in the Southern Hemisphere... Since when is the UK in the southern hemisphere!?
(I'm British equally happy to take a cheap shot at the US or UK school systems and the teaching of Geography...)
For What it's worth: I Completely agree with the you about the obsession with CCTV cameras in the UK. Croydon, a fairly largish town (largish for the UK, the size of a medium-sized shopping mall to those in the US...) outside London has more CCTV cameras than the entire city of New York. Possibly because it hosts a very large immigration and assylum centre, which MAY have something to do with it.

Bullies.
Can't say I'd have thought to use a chinese search engine otherwise
It's only libelous if it isn't true :-)
Am I the only one here thinking GP2X?

Yes, we (the UK) have the telephone preference service.
But does it stop the b******s calling from the other side of the world? No.
Anyone who interrupts my Sci-Fi marathons should be shot. Hung. Drawn. Quartered. Castrated. Boiled in Sulfuric Acid.
