foreign investment

we must limit foreign investment

weve privatised everything.
and allot of that is now foreign owned

we have to set a limit to which countrys which are oil rich, with almost unlimited cash funds can just buy up britain wholesale.

And economic crashes like this provide rich pickings for foreign investors.
the idea that BAA is owned by a foreign private business for instance is insane, it is vital infrastructure. The worse thing is determining even ownership nowadays is almost an obsession in itself, as its an egg within an egg scenario, so widely distributed interlinked are shares of one company to another and the major shareholders behind those companies even more un-decipherable.

the truth is any future government has been so screwed in terms of it position, by the last 30 years of government they could probably never sought the blurry mess, this country is in.

economy again

65 billion to bail out northenrock or is it now double ? whichever the moneys funny anyway which is half the problem, it would cost 28 billion to wire all british homes for fibre optic broadband as a government id rather invest in that. That has more potential for societal benefit than taking on the debt of bloated failed uber capitalist banks who over leveraged their exposure to debt in the vain attempt to gamble hard and make more money, the normal individuals will suffer more by the bailout as it gives us all a share in the misery and risk of further decline. Our government have been consisently failing for the last 30 years on a societal and economic way which it has managed to hide till now.

We need real laws and more self governance (The EU distorts are destiny and nullifies voting in our democracy), fiscal prudence and an agile smaller independant economy is the only recourse to a stable future. A 9 year old could have told you the accounts of america dont add up, so how come all the financial experts didnt see this coming, and much the same in this country because we follow their lead way to much, if we had independance from other cultures to a large extent, then we wouldn’t be exposed so badly to the vagueries of the global capitalist system, which tries to spread its toxicity of nature and idiocy of thinking and impoverished get rich quick attitude everywhere.

Eu law formatted versus unformatted capacity and SmartStatus

How is it ever, in the users benefit for Hd’s to be sold described by their unformatted capacity? EU should regulate against it. if they believe in consumers rights. They have yet to convince me that most of the laws they have introduced to supercede are own, have been in favour of the common man.

Secondly what we need with drive failure is … warning, yes theyre can always be catostrophic failure and therefore a backup is the only real solution, but to be honest if the drives internal self repair mechanism wasn’t constantly hiding the trouble thats going on in the drive, and keeping the knowledge to itself as to how fucked the drive is, until its so bad it falls over, we be allot better off, if only it communicated with us a bit. In theory smart status enables us to see whether the drive is beginning to fail, but only if connected internally, so many people have external drives, smart status is no use at all in this scenario. The truth is the drive standard should be able to store a condition report about the drive mechanism on part of the drive which is accesible when in an external case by the user. So we can get some indication as to when the drive is going home.

Get this I had a drive that was exhibiting hardware failure, disc speed being continually reduced to read parts of the disc, down to the reading at 4k a sec type level. I lost allot of data and it happened without warning. Then when ive finished extracting what i Could lost about 75% of the data in the end. I reformat the drive and drive then says its perfectly fine ? In my opinion whats going on is the internal repair mechanism used the opportunity of a fresh format, and locked of more dodgy portions of the disk away from use and proceeded to format and pretend everything is fine. When in reality probably more of the disk will begin to fail ? In a way these self repairing mechanisms where they ascribe more of the disk as unusable and then keep on going, allows manufacturers to pretend theyre drives are much higher quality than they are, ie if we actually knew how much of the disk sectors were dropping out of use wed be appaled and would complain, but because its all a hidden process were lulled into thinking everything is fine, and drive quality is acceptable, when what users really want is not drives that wll carry on when reformatted but, drives that are polite enough to inform us when they are about/likely to fail, it looks like SSD will be this way inclined hopefully.

Advertising break increases on tele ?

dear blizzard

Being currently dormant as a player who used to raid consistently, and has a long time played in this game. I would like a clear and thorough explanation as to why over the period of time you have had to introduce it, you still find it impossible to allow tranfers of chars from one region to another ? ie moving a US character to an EU realm. This has been the bane of world of warcraft game for some time for me and many other players. I have previously heard excuses like the US and EU worldofwarcraft are seperate business entitys etc. Which frankly is an issue for you to deal with and not your customer base who are not interested in such logistics. The truth is a character should be merely a tiny file sitting on a server. and there is no real difficulty in transferring that character from one server to another wherever they may be located.

I want a rational explanation as to why you still do not allow such transfers ?

please no automated un-informed bloated corporate silly responses.

IKEA what are they like ?

Bought some “samla” storage boxes, only to find the lids are a seperate purchase, so I got the lids, now i discover the lids dont clip onto the bases in anyway and that they distort and dont sit properly on the box bases, IKEA has to understand there are minimum standards that they have to meet and selling each component seperately and at an extra cost invalidates them appearing cheap and making them out of materials that easily and by themselves distort invalidates moulding plastic in the first place. fourthly mine seem 1cm too tall for sliding under a standard bed height ?
so lets list the design flaws so far :

• 1 plastic distorts by itself after purchase perhaps plastic not cured properly ?
• 2 1cm to tall for fitting under a bed
• 3 doesn’t include as standard way to self clip onto box base without extra faffy purchasable parts
• 4 when stacked they slide around on top of each other rather than stacking neatly foot of box into socket on lid. (only possible reason for this is perhaps breaking roll resistance when transported in a car but if the lid flys off whats the difference ? )

Total UK Public Purse refinancing of bad private debt (Disguised as Nationalisation)

Brown why are you calling taking the taxpayer taking on responsibility for bad private debt … …Nationalisation ? when it isnt because all the profitable parts of the companys are being given freely or sold for chicken feed to foreign countrys companys … Santander etc.

Total debt assumed by Taxpayer so Far :

Northern Rock : £100 billion (£3600 for each person in the country)
and thats the least of it read this article to be horrified as to how messy banks have been running their affairs.

Bradford and Bingley : £50 billion (£1800 for each person in the country)
liable to be much more and Banco Santander, the Spanish bank that owns Abbey just picked up : , has bought the £20 billion deposit business and the network of 200 branches probably worth in the region of 100 million in themselves, for 612 million pounds, So im guessing 512 million has been paid to bring 20 billions worth of deposits onto their accounts, perhaps they need deposits ? thats a bit like being loaned 20 billion at 2.5% interest rate.

Total So Far :
£150 billion (£5400 of personal debt for everyone in the country)
we have already agreed to deal with this !!!!!!!
whilst he has passed off the more profitable parts to foreign companys someone go shoot brown

This guy does not need to be in charge of the economy he’s allowed half these disasters to occur by allowing the banks to practically regulate themselves, and in the process is trying to clear them up at our expense … ridiculous … hes saddling us with debt that will depress the economy for a decade.

This is the hangover for the cocaine fuelled financial gamblers/bankers who’ve personally done very well out of the proflegate and fiscally imprudent unregulated era, theyve now got a load of bad chips on their hands to dispose of, from encouraging people to borrow money so they can dis-enfranchise the non house owning set even further, and those that should regulate the economics of the country have been letting them gamble imprudently in this manner, now the games is to be paid for, this syndicate of gamblers cant find anyone who will lend them to keep playing(no interbank lending), So now they palm the cost of the gambling to the average saving taxpayer who wasn’t even in the game and may not even own a house, and was in fact being destroyed by the game anyway. This is just more evidence if any were needed of the criminal nature of society.

lacie black disk huh :S

why the hell do people do unboxing videos, video about opening a case to replace a drive maybe, but opening the box, after purchase, just plain nuts.

lacie disks are ok but not great whats really important is what drive is on the inside of the unit, and how good is the bridge board and power supply, Ive had 4 lacie power supplys failed on me, bought 5 of their products, one of the drives inside one of my 4 lacie external hard disk is on the way out, the drive inside it is a maxtor :(. Seagate , hitachi western digital & samsung are generally more reliable drives. but if you base buying a drive on how black it, is then good luck to you.
