Well if you look up on wikipedia, it links to a document naming colours from 1955 so you can call a colour champagne as it predates the champagne name ruling.
ISCC-NBS Dictionary of Colo(u)r Names (1955)
So that means as lots have mentioned Green Party etc may try to limit our use of that colour that Grass is..

I used to do re-enactments in the bunker, staying there at night and sleeping in the bunks.
We used to do the Cuban Missile Crisis, 1962.
It is scary to think that on that day Russian bombers were coming down the north sea and if the secret talks had not succeeded in america the missiles in Norfolk would have been fueled and WW3 would have started.
But that information is not commonly known with the standoff at Cuba being the more widely known incident.
A few months ago a dev i know wrote an article about using Cloudy TFS to do Windows Azure Continuous build and unit testing, however it used Cerebrata Cmd Widgets and some other 3rd party tools, Microsoft contacted them and said "this looks great can we publish it on the Microsoft MSDN Newsletter" So they said yes and then had to rework the article to remove any and ALL references to InteliJ Resharper, CmdLets and some other stuff.
So they certainly don't like developers using their brains and doing something else.
Well when will the government force BT to give people normal broadband, For instance the Plaistow Exchange in Surrey/Sussex a stones throw from the Top Gear Test Track, has not even got ISDN and are stuck using 14400 Baud Dialup,
BT has said that the exchange is too small for upgrade and will never get LLU or ISDN let alone Fibre.
Well it shows that he would not make a good person to run a country, I would like to see all the MPs play Eve online and set up their own corporation called [GOVUK] (their corp ticker) and see how long before they have nothing left.
Eve is like real life and i don't believe that the current government or opposition have any clue as to how to run a company let alone a country.
Ok so I sit down I write a computer game, I put it on source forge. How much do I have to pay to have my home brew zombie apocalypse 1st person shooter available in the uk. This will stifle game development and could end free software sites and places like big fish games who do hidden object games usually with some violence for very low cost. It's another way for the government to get more money. I mean what pegi rating would minecraft have?
I would love ADSL2 or even the BE bonded service at home, however Where I live BT has chosen to only offer ADSL1 and there are no plans to upgrade the exchange at all.
Whereas, the village next door (a stones throw from the Top Gear Test Track ) will never Have ADSL of any type with BT refusing to provide more than 14400baud connection.
When will BT realise we want Fibre to the cabinet everywhere and not just in the middle of cities.
this is getting silly, soon i will not be able to persue my trade (computer programmer) without infringing a million patents because I use Java and connect to a MySQL database and display records from it to the screen using a GUI interface....
so will i be sued just because someone else had an idea to get records out of a database and display them on a screen - and then they patented it. GROW UP APPLE AND SAMSUNG AND GOOGLE AND ORACLE, cherish the competition you will make better products for it in the end...
WIN WIN WIN WIN look at the consumer not your bottom line.
Well a local village near me has a wonderful 14.4kbit dial up and BT have told them that their exchange will not be upgraded even to ADSL1

I sort of get it....
Like in radio waves light has an amplitude (brightness) and a phase (hmmm cant think what this would be,. frequency would be the colour of the light but there you go)
what they seem to be saying is they can push the vacuum anomalies into either amplitude or phase, and when they do, the interference at the quantum level reduces in the other part.
Meaning that if they shove all the interference into amplitude then read the phase, they get less noise and so can properly see the gravity waves without the distortion,,
Sort of makes sense to me.
Why arent they thihnking smart about this.
IPV6 the backbone, have 6->4 nat routers at the isp's
then slowly move it down until the ADSL modem you get is IPV6 WANJ IP4/6 LAN.
but then why not just expand the ipv4 by adding another 255 on the front.....
Security is shot to hell under ipv6 until they restore the ability to firewall whole subnets no body will go to ipv6 in earnest.

I still have an old Psion II with extra eeproms and somewhere in one of my boxes in storage a Barcode reader for it.,
I suppose it may go the way of my old Nokia Orange or Cellnet phones and the original Black and White Gameboy.
Shame i had to throw out the C64, Vic 20 BBC b and Amiga 500, 600 and 1000 i had last time i moved.
I once owned a Burroughs B21 Standalone until the PSU exploded....
Maybe i will see if i can get my old Amstrad Laptop (luggable) working if i can find it.....
Strange how they don't mention the most addictive games out there like
Eve Online (www.eveonline.com)
and the most addictive multi platform game that i have ever seen (it has even stopped me playing Cataclysm as i am too engrossed in creating my station and getting resources in
Minecraft (www.minecraft.net)
How does compressed paper sound?
Make the ribsout of compressed paper, (like the cardboard boxes you get routers packaged in?
they would be stronger and if hand made with paper mush and a press you can make your own stiffer ribs, Paper is good but how are you going to make sure that the paper for the wing covering is tight, for model plane makers they use solarfilm which shrinks when heated, is there maybe some solvent which would make the paper shrink? or what if it was put on damp so it shrinks when drying?
