Speed cams ditched in Wiltshire

Speed Kills

Here is a link,

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/safety/2749525/Speed-kills-inconvenient-facts.html

the point being that only 5% of accidents (official figures from the Department for Transport) involve exceeding the speed limit, now I admit accidents are more often caused by travelling too fast for the conditions but how does a speed camera work out the conditions are bad and you should go slower or relax restrictions in good conditions?

BTW, I have no points on my license and have never had any and I don't speed, just figured rather than random unproven arguments maybe a thirty second search of the internet may enlighten, then again I realise too many people have strong opinions backed up with no evidence so why am I bothering, carry on people, I'll just stop reading the comments pages and get my coat

Flight Safe?

As soon as you walk into any hospital you are asked to turn off your phone. Which I have always done.

So was this picture taken in flight safe mode? Or are Surgeons using mobile phones in operating theatres and putting lives in jeopardy? That or there is no basis for the no mobile rule?

bah humbug (a bit)

I have been streaming h.264 off my NAS for a while now, encoded from DVD using Handbrake on a mac.

It has been working fine until now, after the update the first time I select a video it tells me it can't play it. select it again and it works, a tad annoying and I am sure it will really wind up my better half...

(Connect360 from nullriver does a very good job of letting my 360 talk to my Mac)
