...is there somewhere a good stat showing the percentage of illegal uses of torrents compared to legitimate ones?

Somehow I doubt any search on 'nine-pounder' would fail to bring up something...

And normally by the time we get it Sky have bought the rights and the first time us normal folks get to see a show is when the DVDs appear.

He was specifically talking about the 'remaster' when he said about the 'jarring'. If you're actually defending those then you've gone beyond the Lucas defence field and there may be no helping you!

Revenge of the Sith is the only half-decent Star Wars prequel in my view.

I think that's mainly true of the first two series, isn't it? Series 3-6 don't really rely nearly as much on the sort of comedy you're talking about and in fact I seem to remember the BBC barely acknowledged 1 and 2 existed when it came to repeats for years.

I like the circular notion of documenting the disposal of someone's personal information.

"No Mr. Smith, your data was fully deteled. I have the document right here to prove it: 'Mr. A. R. Smith, born 17th Feb 1963, married to Mrs. C. J. Smith, degree from Cambridge, DNA sample number 0900303093029298992,' etc., etc. and here at the bottom, 'Deleted' and it's stamped by three separate officers. Yes sir, your data has definitely been destroyed."

'Orwellian'? Those poor French bastards! Oh the humanity!

(FWIW my main disagreement was on the basis of costs and the security of your information so it's fine by me that it's gone.)

The trailers will spoil more jokes than a dozen Twitter/Facebook feeds ever could.

Unless they also have some sort of brain-wiping techniques it's still not going to stop someone Tweeting about it later.

I'm a big fan of the 6th series, mainly because they introduced some more sci-elements to their stories. It really felt like the 7th series would have been quite amazing had it come out with the usual writers.

Cheers. I'll definitely install it because I like to have all the options and it'll get its chance to make me like it again.

I hope someone mods the parent up 'funny'.

It's probably marked, "Happens under Windows, so who cares?" somewhere.

What put me off Firefox was the time it was taking to boot up combined with the time spent watching as it told me it was upgrading / telling me I had upgrades to all my plugins to look at. Yeah, I can probably turn all that off but I don't need to on Chrome, Opera or IE.
