Glyphosate is in all the major weedkiller brands.

I tried very hard to buy a decent weedkiller without it in, but ended up just buying Roundup because it was on a special offer as a result of the negative press.

A little known add on for Windows clients: RemoteApp for Hyper-V. It allows Windows clients (XP+) to be used as seamless application hosts for RDP clients.

Submission + - BBC and YouTube in Deal Talks

Submitted by Algis on Wednesday February 21, 2007 @10:46AM

Algis writes: The BBC and YouTube are in the process of striking a deal between themselves, allowing BBC content to be available on Google-owned YouTube, the world's largest and most popular video sharing service. The Beeb has previously demanded takedowns of a large number of its videos that were posted to the site by YouTube users, resulting in the message, "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by The BBC". Quite what the BBC-YouTube deal will entail is anyone's guess. It is highly, highly unlikely to include full-length current BBC shows. What could be possible is the addition to YouTube of much older shows, such as classics like 'The Young Ones' or 'Faulty Towers', in an effort to boost the shows' exposure and increase DVD sales of these shows.
