the UK is the same, it's all about being distracted from driving, using a phone/txting etc is just a specific examples

I've seen people applying makeup, eating, even reading a book (I kid not) never mind reading instructions or a map... they'll still pull you if the officer thinks you're driving distracted.

Quite - everything seemed to happen v quickly once the oil pipe broke. And yes the engine should be able to contain a broken blade

Allows get issues with new engines and the original Trent almost broke RR (its development costs being the major reason fir nationalising it in the 1970s from what I remember

Have been doing this for years. They constantly stream data to RR HQ and theres a team of highly experienced people watching the data. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPIYBgZNrsg&sns=tw

Another vote for LED
You can get v big 60" jobs quite easily and theres no burn-in esp if theres alot of static content as you imply

+1 to that exactly what i was thinking. Same for many countries

Uk is currently moving from the 7 tier IL 0-6 markers to a three tier system, so doesnt surprise the US are looking to follow this

So how does this work with the laws allowing those nice national security letter to be issued by the fbi etc?

All down to current CESG guidance on data soveriegnty. Until the new data classifications are fully launched (replacing the IL based system) this wont change, and event then its down to the accreditor to assess the risk so still doubtfull we'll be seeing any major offshoring

Since when was Dublin in the UK??? Not since Irish independance in the early 1920s.

Eire is a soverign state and given rhe history I can see why CESG wont entertain this level of offshoring

we dont like quakes in the UK so we'll keep the shale gas down there ;-)

Not here in the uk, and of course this price is very volatile anyway , more so then diesel with massive swings year on year.

none - STORM the embassy isn't what would happen, This would be the normal police who would remove the immunity and remove him under internation law.

Basically it's just forcing the Equadorians to make a descision, either kick out of the embassy or give him political assylum. They've been waffling about the whole thing for weeks so we just helped them make their minds up.

we've dropped about 10p in last 3 weeks, yes once again we're getting stuffed royaly in the UK.

(£1.30 a litre is the cheapest I can find anywhere. $7.63 a US Gallon)

Seems someone at the FBI has been reading Tom Sharp's Riotous Assembly..... now if ALL the threats are suddenly undercover FBI/CIA each not knowing each other actual status, and trying to outdo each other to gain credibility with the others you have the main plot line exactly!

The sticks dont follow either ie if rhe copilot pushes forward the pilot gets no feedback on his stick this is happening. This was an issue here not fbw itself.

Other factors at play also of course
