That's a terrible fate.

The British Interplanetary Society did something similar a few years back: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Boreas

The filters are voluntary OPT OUT for the end user*.

I know it seems insignificant, but it makes a big difference.

Also, I am right in thinking, this hasn't been proposed as a bill yet to the house of commons/lords? I feel as Cameron has a long history of broken promises.

Is that Jurassic Park in the background of the first image???

Bosence | 12 years ago | on: FB event to walk to NSA's Dagger Complex results in a visit by the German police

That's just simply fantastic.

Bosence | 12 years ago | on: How to permanently delete a Facebook account

I know it's not the best solution, but I have a dummy G+ account for my youtube account, so it doesn't pester me.

Bosence | 12 years ago | on: Why HTTP/2.0 does not seem interesting (2012)

Oh yes, the regulation was rushed in by people not really sure what to do or what was happening.

Why it couldn't be a browser option, I have no idea.

Bosence | 12 years ago | on: Seth Vidal, creator of yum, killed in hit and run accident

I do feel though, that more innocent people are killed by other peoples driving mistakes than other peoples alcohol/smoking/diets.

Of course it matters, otherwise they wouldn't collect it.

Bosence | 12 years ago | on: Making the web fun again

http://blog.neocities.org/ points to it (incorrectly, but it tries), at least. I wonder if that's user created or not.

Bosence | 12 years ago | on: Obama refuses to barter over Snowden

Demonize him and also case your state for requiring internet monitoring in a single blow. It's done very intentionally.

The perspective to take is that of a normal consumer and not someone technically able with technology.

Would taking the battery out simply suffice, too?

Unless you're a physicist... :)

Bosence | 12 years ago | on: Why Snowden's passport being revoked doesn't make it invalid outside US

Yes, my family and myself had our passports stolen in Tenerife (now known as Tenergrief in my family, wasn't the best of holidays) and we flew back to the UK on a police report (which was in Spanish).

The UK customs officer said we shouldn't have really flown back on that, but he let us in regardless. Not even an interview in a room.

Bosence | 12 years ago | on: European roaming charges will end in 2014

I highly doubt they will, there's too much to lose. They're just bluffing hot air to win over support from UKIP/BNP voters.

Bosence | 12 years ago | on: European roaming charges will end in 2014

There's nothing saying that they have to provide coverage, just the same price.

Bosence | 12 years ago | on: European roaming charges will end in 2014

I'd imagine it's a bit different from eastern Europe, sadly.
