MEPs to US: Hands off our bank accounts

Mike 102

don't think so...

much more than just international transfers go through swift...

Mike 102

No they don't

That was probably the worst part of the whole affair. It's one way, they get our data (and can use it for all sorts of things not just looking for terrorists) and we don't get theirs... crazy.. nearly as crazy as the one way extradition agreement where they can extradite people from the uk and we can't get at theirs... our government is great...

its just you

I'm pretty sure you're not the only one but then again most people haven't a clue about where their food comes from or how long it's been cured/aged before they eat it. Ignorance is bliss as they say..

You don't get crusty bits on the outside... they are covered in fat and it tends to be soft... and probably slightly mooldy looking...

Thumb Down

Sorry but..

You haven't a clue about the Fujitsu situation or unites involvement.

I don't have a problem with you thinking they are Marxist, you can have an opinion. However you clearly have no idea of what has been going on at Fujitsu, how the local union members have behaved, how the local reps have behaved or even how the unions 'execs' have behaved.

Go and check your facts then feel free to spout off.

Alert

Family friend??

"They were taken by a family friend about eight years ago." My mothers family friends come round for a BBQ,or a pot of tea and scones...

I'd understand if she said "They were taken by a boy/girlfriend about eight years ago." maybe it's an NZ thing...

"All hands man the pumps..." for obvious reasons ;-)

Users claim iPhone 3.0 GPS mis-map mishaps

GPS at home

Could this be nothing to do with the GPS? If people are using WIFI at home then the iPhone can locate them because they look up the location of the wifi (apparently there are databases - I was surpised too http://wifinetnews.com/archives/2008/01/apple_adds_iphone_location_over_wi-fi_base_station_backup_ma.html) and know where you are because of your access point rather than your GPS.

So maybe it's something screwed there, either in the database or in how the iPhoen handles the location it gets form the database. Which may mean that location services under GPS work fine...
