"V for Vendetta"

Wiki link

It's an upto date tale of Orwellian oppression.. coincidence David Davis resigned?




Note: It gets stranger and stranger... The Telegraph have already portrayed David Davis as a Guy Fawkes suicide terrorist bomber in this remarkable animated cartoon. (1m1s) short video. What a disgusting way for people to treat the only politician with enough guts to challenge the threat to British freedom and privacy with such contempt.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/news...Davis%27s.html
thats just sick.....
and his website's not much better
http://www.livedraw.co.uk/archive.html

i admire David Davis for standing up, speaking out, and fighting for his and our rights.

will the anonymous readers here do the same, and take the time to write those letters.... and send that Email, YES even you Pro-Phorm voters if you are playing fair, and it is your personal opinion.....

how about really planning to get to the Demo if your in london or if you can afford the train fair and sundries to get there.....go.

BTW Pete, i was looking for the rebol banner Gfx loader and scroller were you can load up any text over the top of any Gfx so as not to have to make them static every time, it exists as iv seen it but cant find it now.

But this rebol local proxy script i came aross while looking
http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap...script=proxy.r

http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap...anner&form=yes

proxy.r got me thinking about how one might use and adapt such a free thing to the Anti-Phorm armory, that stopping javascript and replacing adsense ad's with your own personal ads got me thinking.

if some good scriptor can adapt it, we might get a really good Anti-Phorm free "end users" run ad service using P2p (innovate not stagnate, [Muticast P2p tunnels through Unicast web] ) and a little of your upload bandwidth to pass the ads around.

unicast P2p webservers already exist, so why not our own free ad services too?, carrying help the aged, community wireless projects, and other free and werthy causes to kill off the commercial cashflow intake valve.

most people dont want to see ads OC, but it might be worth
overriding any commercial ads with free ads even if most block them anyway.

the commercial Phorm type ads are working hard in the background intercepting all your webpages and makeing Unlawful derivative works, but if the users are killing off javascript to the (injected)ads and replacing them with community free ads, their flogging a dead horse or did i forget something?

for those that dont normally block, they are still helping to zerofeed the commercial webwise network......

Wow, whatever you do do not leave your browser open on Google AdWords account pages, firefox was using 2.4GB of RAM (1.8GB memory, 600MB swap).

Pedants corner: Rt Hon is for Cabinet Ministers (strictly, Privy Council members) other MPs are just Honourable, unless they are bent MEPs, in which case they are Dishonourable. All right, I made the last bit up.

Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]

Clearly BT and Phorm have been doing a publicity blitz in Parliament.

Could I suggest that as well as writing to your own MP, people also write to the MP's in surrounding constituencies. This would need to be done on a 'for your information' basis, as they cannot act for you.

It will ensure that we cover everyone, we don't want any gaps.

Also, pick 10 members of the House of Lords, at random, to copy your letters to?

Any info on the PIA?
Is this likely to be released any time soon?
The last I heard was from Alexander who indicated that Simon Davies said it would be finished by Friday.

Parts of the site have been deactivated to reduce load, so it may be better to only use the site if actually signing the petition until it gets back to normal.
