Strange. I get nothing and I have 17 lists loaded in PG2.

Maybe your lists can't be up to date or you are'nt using the same lists we are.

Put these into your permanent blocklist then visit page 213.

Nothing to do with the fact that the photograph about half-way down that page is linked directly to Phorm's web site is it?

(From todays Reg)

Quote:

We asked a Phorm spokesman why it doesn't believe people have the right to know how likely it is they were part of a secret test. "We're just not going to disclose that," he said. "They were BT customers and you have to ask BT about that."

A BT spokesman refused to provide a figure.
<...>
Phorm and BT say their lawyers told them the trials were legal, but won't say why.

So, that's cleared that up then.

(VM - you still "waiting and seeing" then? Don't tell me you are you still looking at clambering into bed with these clowns?)

BT saying their lawyers said the trials were legal simply does not got them off the hook. Their lawyers were wrong and BT are the liable parties. Lets not forget, lawyers are wrong 50% of the time (in any legal case 1 side always loses).

Hello again gentlemen.

With regard to the pictures from the Phorm website that are creating problems with those running PG2 ( thanks Pheonix labs, still no working version for us Vista users I note ) may I suggest that you copy the pictures and rehost them on a free picture host such as Imageshack or better still my friend's hosting site which is not advertising driven and is both capable of large traffic and advertisement free. http://www.b3ta.cr3ation.co.uk/
This will solve both the problem of setting off PG2 and the fact that it is not good form to hotlink to pictures on 3rd party sites as issues of bandwidth can arise.

With regards to Simon Hickling and the advice given to Phorm by the home office I don't recall the Home office memo being posted in this thread before and if it has I apologise but the conclusions by the Home Office given to Phorm are public record and have been reproduced here.
