As with the photos: wheres the detail people?

without knowing the timestamps on the photos, of both the car and the snow, you don't know....

if the first car photo is older than the second, then it's moving away from you
if the older photo of the snow was in winter and the new one in summer - then maybe it can be explained logically, with an average-based graph, instead of "dear lord, the last few plots on my graph are going downwards, if we don't stop this, we all goin die!!!"

Comment Story posted after downtime (Score 0) 408

This was a tad late :) during the downtime, both my python google scripts and my android G1 were functioning correctly with the odd garbled text in the python script instead of an "unread" number.
the G1 didn't have any issues updating itself, i am therefore going to assume it uses imap, but don't quote me on that!

"Gmail is single point of failure." - all singular email services and hosting companies are a single point of failure, in this case, merely webmail access was down. businesses who relied on google via pop/imap did not even notice. Not to mention, google offer convenient backups of all your data in a tarball, if there was ever a failure, it is your own fault for not downloading these on a regular basis, you can also re-upload these tarballs in the event of a failure or to move to a new login.

it should prevent itself from being sold, it lacks a detailed storyline and its mostly bad rape porn for the first section, followed by the usual gore, its nothing special, the "no rating" is probably the only marketing that would ever work for this film (so yes torrents have been out for a while if you really want to see it)

Comment Re:CCTV part probably fake (Score 0) 693

Yet another case of Timothy impressing his own anti-UK views onto an article, I'd say distrust his article content as much as the daily mail as well until you have RTFA yourself, this is about social workers being pushed to the limit in a society where the people are so dumb the culture actually glorifys idiocy and the kids willingly get pregnant at 14/15 because that's how their parents got a place to live. Then they attempt to raise kids, its effectively creating Alabama-Britain.

but if I wish to impose my own agenda on America's social workers in Timothy like fashion:
Last time I checked America still stole children off the worst family's and put them in prison like conditions... to make sure that kids go to bed on time and eat healthy meals and the like. This is going too far, and hopefully will not pass. Where will it end? KEEP CHILD ABUSE ALIVE PEOPLE!!!!

The Internet

Submission + - Worst privacy invasion in the world, by the UK (telegraph.co.uk) 1

Anonymous Coward writes: "A European Union directive, which Britain was instrumental in devising, comes into force which will require all internet service providers to retain information on email traffic, visits to web sites and telephone calls made over the internet, for 12 months.

Police and the security services will be able to access the information to combat crime and terrorism.

Hundreds of public bodies and quangos, including local councils, will also be able to access the data to investigate flytipping and other less serious crimes.

It was previously thought that only the large companies would be required to take part, covering 95 per cent of Britain's internet usage, but a Home Office spokesman has confirmed it will be applied "across the board" to even the smallest company."
