So true. I live in a cabled area, my choices are minimum 20Mbps cable with virgin media (after they go on their free doubling) or maximum 3.5Mbps with anyone else. But BT should be rolling out Infinity in my area soon too. But even with cable you still get your telephone services over a standard analog line.

I know what you mean, but in the UK, BT were forced years ago to open their network to other providers, and on top of that the use of VoIP were eating into their traditional revenue streams. Are BT crying about it? No, they're implementing VoIP technology on their main network to reduce their running costs and are offering new, better and complimentary data, voice and management services to pick up an entirely new revenue stream.

Comment Copyright (Score 1) 162

I'm not contending whether or not the video is faked, but the argument that there is a Sony copyright mark is totally invalid. That copyright mark is in relation to the wipeout name, concept and logo, which they are required to display under the fair use provisions along with the fair use statement as JIST (fake or not) would not have the rights to. It clearly states that the copyright for the video does not belong to Sony.

Comment Consistent? (Score 5, Insightful) 223

Is this proven to be consistent and will it continue to have this effect on the workers? I'd like to reference the Hawthorne Effect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawthorne_effect which basically states that any change to the working environment will increase productivity temporarily. So how long until it gets old and productivity slumps again?

I didn't read TFA, but the summary hints that Greenpeace are not protesting against the plant itself or even nuclear power but at the lack of security which could prevent more potential disasters. This seems completely reasonable and unlike most protests we associate with such organisations and Greenpeace should be commended as an example to the activists that go over the top by trying to ban a video game simply for featuring a racoon hat.
