Is Gordon Brown safe to work with vulnerable people?

The Buck Starts Here

It only stands to reason that those with the most control over the lives of the most vulnerable persons should be the first, and most deeply, vetted of all.

Hi!

The competition "Medway 2010 Calendar competition" being run looks like great fun.

However, due to the attitude of Kent Police force, I am afraid to take part, for fear of arrest, and a police record which would show up in any enhanced CRB checks , disqualifying me from any work deemed to be "sensitive".

It is with regret that I must decline.

Cheers!

Fraggie.

Only logged in to make the point that you already have, but then had to post, you know, its a synchronous extended data operation thing.

If I'd had lower latency I could have gotten some coffee instead.

ESA to develop cargo-lander space podule

Police may have had a duty to notify phone-hacking victims

Pay to Play

Seems slightly incongruous that the newspaper group can pay an "out of court settlement" to get away with a criminal act.

I thought the principle was, that the law was an equal asset to all, rather than the decisions of the police and judiciary being dictated by the ability to pay, or political clout.

<sigh>

Seems to me that those useually branded as Criminals have more integrity.

Get some education! Look at Windows 85, then go look at RiscOS from the 80s!

Then find out where the RiscOS boys got their ideas from.

Seagate shines under Luczo's law

Who cares?

After the "seagate snubs linux" insult, and the crappy reliability of recent product, its obvious the rot extends through Seagate.

So it is not relevant to me or my companies, we now shop elsewhere.

Shame.. My ST-506, ST-412 and both ST-225s are /still/ working, reminding me that Seagate were a great company. Once.
