Any DTP professionals reading who fancy putting together a PDF "booklet" for this?

In fact I could put two auctions up, one for free and one for £1.00 so people can choose to donate by purchasing the booklet rather than getting the free one.

PM me all the details, I'll have a draft ready by start of next week

I feel so stupid.... i must be sooo slow.... it's only just occured to me, the irony of their chosen company name (someone must have mentioned this before)...

We've had Phreaking, Phishing, Pharming, Phlooding etc... and now we have Phorm.

I was in Comet and Curry's today. Saw an offer there that caught my eye. 6 months free on Virgin.

Now if that isn't desperation I'm not sure what is.

And if that doesn't explain why ISPs find themselves short of a bob or two...

First rule of a plan for increased wealth? Don't give your money away.

surely that should read "6 months privacy free and beyond..."

It has been mentioned before on The Register I think. I noticed that the name is an anagram of morph which it tried to do from 121Media but got noticed!

While we are fighting BT and phorm maybe we need to look into the suppliers of the internet like opel, tiscali, orange,02/be, bulldog, cable and wireless etc and see if there is any chance they might be silly enough to think while BT is being hit they can stealth it in...

Alex,
I think there is a problem with the Forum on your nodpi site as whatever topic I click on, nothing happens.
It was OK the last time I used it a several days ago. It is showing me logged on OK and I can vote in the polls but zilch on the forums.

At first I thought she was actually going to do it, but then she said: "Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?"

I was going to tell you the search string I used but I'd only have to get me coat!

O2 has stated in an email to me that they have no intention of joining PHORM.

"Thanks for your email. We don't currently use the PHORM system, and have no plans whatsoever to do so. I hope this make you feel safer about joining O2 Broadband. Remember if you are moving to us, to ask for a MAC code to make your move as quick and as easy as possible."

Working fine here, maybe you have the page cached? the new page for the forums is https://nodpi.org/forum

But the old page should still work fine.

Anyone else having any problems?
