Cheers. I've added this to my Amazon wish list!

Please can you send me a source for this! It sounds unbelievable, and if it's true, I want to read more!

While it may remind you of that story, it doesn't remind you of a true incident. http://www.snopes.com/business/genius/spacepen.asp

Can someone mod this up please, as I was about to paste the same thing. It's a *major* error in the summary.

While the words have changed somewhat over the past few years, one of David Cameron's (current UK Prime minister) key stances in his early opposition was "small government". It still seems that he thinks this way, but has represented his thoughts on the matter ("big society"), and being in a coalition government obviously means his party does not have carte blanch to do as they wish there.

This is not a ruling. A court hasn't applied this ASBO, it's just TFL requesting it.

You just stated that roundabouts are rare in the UK. I didn't say anything about the relative numbers to "stop signaled" intersections.

Roundabouts are rare in the EU are they? They're all over the place here in the UK...

You could just take the train.

In many places I've worked (all in the UK) it's been a clear perk of the job that "reasonable" usage of a work-provided mobile phone for personal calls was acceptable.

How does that work in practice? Could not the doctor you speak of say "I'm pleading the Fifth to avoid criminal prosecution"? Does the doctor have to say which criminal law he may be prosecuted of? If so, that in itself would be self incrimination surely?

The second sentence is:

"Although a few metazoans can survive temporarily in the absence of oxygen, it is believed that multi-cellular organisms cannot spend their entire life cycle without free oxygen."

I did Google for a bit, and couldn't find anything to disagree with this, except the word 'temporarily'. While I'm not particularly familiar with anoxia tolerance, my quick searching suggests that certain species of turtle can have up to 3months without oxygen in cold water. There may be others out there, but this is the largest number I found. This is clearly a temporary phase in the life cycle of the organism. Are you trying to argue that they are implying that this is more than merely 'temporary' but a major chunk of the life cycle? Personally, were I reviewing the paper, I'd not have had a problem with allowing that phrase to be used (with the caveat that there is no information that I am not privy to currently, and there is no controversy in this area currently).

Try installing libpcap - I used the libpcap0.8-dev package on my Ubuntu Hardy install. (I'm getting a handshake error that I can't get around at the moment though - but that appears to be unrelated to FastCollector/libpcap)
