Businessman wins e-mail spam case     Tuesday, 27 December 2005, 15:00 GMT 

A businessman has won what is believed to be the first victory of its kind by claiming damages from a company which sent him e-mail spam.
Nigel Roberts, who lives in Alderney in the Channel Islands, took action against Media Logistics UK over junk e-mails in his personal account.

Under new European laws, companies can be sued for sending unwanted e-mails.

The Stirlingshire-based firm has agreed to pay £270 compensation to Mr Roberts, who runs an internet business.

'Tiny victory'

Three years ago the EU passed an anti-spam law, the directive on privacy and telecommunications, which gave individuals the right to fight the growing tide of unwanted e-mail by allowing them to claim damages.

Mr Roberts received unwanted e-mail adverts for a contract car firm and a fax broadcasting business and decided to take action against the company.

The company filed an acknowledgement of the claim at Colchester County Court but did not defend it and a judge ruled in favour of Mr Roberts.

In an out-of-court agreement Media Logistics agreed to pay Mr Roberts damages of £270 plus his £30 filing fee.

Mr Roberts said he had limited his claim to a maximum of £300 in order to qualify to file it as a small claim.

He said: "This may be a tiny victory but perhaps now spammers will begin to realise that people don't have to put up with their e-mail inboxes being filled with unwanted junk."

No-one from Media Logistics UK was available for comment.

A spokesman for the Information Commissioner's Office, the watchdog who oversees the Data Protection Act, said it was the first case of its kind he had heard of.

He said: "What I can say is that I haven't heard of anyone doing so and we haven't taken a case under that legislation."

more superb work by John Child  :twisted: great to see a new genre from the top forums cartoonist

well I just saw the Dawn of the Dead (remake) on Sky Movies and it is pretty amazing, they made the ending totally different to the original film, well hey, most of it is way different actually

ORIGINAL DAWN OF THE DEAD 120%

heeey it's all in froggy french nes pas?

can't understand a word of it  :x le oiseaux le chien le voiture  :twisted: that's all I can say

1. yellowstone park, a massive volcano eruption | would devestate 80% of America immediately and the rest of the world soon after

2. a bird flu pandemic | this would wipe out at least 5 million of the population in the UK alone

3. an asteriod/ Comet collision with Earth | last time wiped out the dinosaurs, humans would get the same fate

4. WORLD WAR III | could easily involve nuclear/ biological/ warfare

5. an OIL/GAS crisis | what happens when all the oil and gas resources in the world run out?

6. Waterworld | sea levels rise by such huge amounts that the world land mass shrinks to 5%

7. Independence Day | just like in the film - intelligent, but hostile lifeforms descend to earth from another solar system

8. a SARS virus outbreak | a prolific and unstoppable virus sweeps across the globe

9. some OTHER WORLD disaster not listed above will probably happen in our life time

10 NONE OF ABOVE |  all wholly unlikely to ever happen in our life time

falkor's TOP 10 satellite TV :JULY 2005

1  14JUL ITV Heartbeat the lovable rogue http://www.nicholasrhea.co.uk/heartbeat … Greengrass is the top character in the 1991 series

2 15JUL SC2 The Warriors (1979) I saw this at the cinema when it came out and it is wicked to see it on satellite TV now, rival gangs mete out street level violence and the rule of the jungle in a New York 24 hours that you'll never forget

3 9 JUL BBC1 Mad Max (1979) Mel Gibson in one of his best films! Y'know ....  how many trilogies actually stay to the quality of the original ?? How many? Well Mad Max is one of the few that keeps that level in place  - this is known as a post-apocalyptic film - civilisation has descended into a world without police, army or government, a chilling thought and an action packed film - no doubt about it!!

4 9 JUL ITV2 Tour de france highlights Hehe all those video shots from motorcycle pillions, I so much remember watching this stuff with my Dad, in fact that's where I got my liking for the Tour de France from, cause he watched it from noon to night, the miles those cyclers put in is phenonemal and great TV viewing I tell ya, especially with Eddie the Eagle riding uphill in 15th gear with a flat tyre - there are always thrills and spills on these routes - it's the only decent thing that France DOES!!!

5 9 JUL SM7 28 days later (2002) another post-apocalyptic film - this film divides into two distinct halves, the "survive in the city phase" and then the tottally different "survive with the army phase" - each are quite different halves of the same film but adding it all up - it's top late night viewing

6 11 JUL CH5 Columbo (1974) Those early Columbo series/ films were the corkers weren't they? In this one Columbo latches onto a crazed scientist who was supposedly killed by a weird drug addict BUT in fact it was the other way around - now WHO could've figured THAT out? and don't say the butler did it! I have a mack just like Columbo's and once had a car like his too

7 11 JUL CHALL who wants to be a millionaire Chris Tarrant is just THE quiz show MASTER to me, I got the CD that allows you to play the home version and it is such a great game. When the playstation version came out I got it at Christmas and it was so masssssive I tell ya, great game, great programme too

8 13 JUL ITV3 CHANCER what a wicked series this is, in this episode Stephen and Victoria decide to take their relationship to the next level

9 13 JUL BBC3 First Blood (1982) Sylvester Stallone is bullied by a small town US sheriff and exacts rollercoaster revenge as he escapes from custody into the woods and finally goes totally berserk mounting an unstoppable assault on the sheriff's police station and town, always worth a look for late night viewing

10 11 JUL SM2 Deepstar Six (1989) if you haven't seen Deepstar Six in the 15 years since it's release, catch it on satellite in the next few weeks, it's doing the rounds on Sky Movies and is well worth a look, underwater SCI FI at it's 1980s best, I can watch this a few more times so get the beers in and draw up a chair :-)

that's mine  now you!!

http://fullcoverage.yahoo.com/s/space/2 … tune]Large New World Discovered Beyond Neptune

A newfound object in our solar system's outskirts may be larger than any known world after Pluto, scientists said today.

It also has a moon.

http://fullcoverage.yahoo.com/s/space/20050729/sc_space/largenewworlddiscoveredbeyondneptune] EL61 with it's moon

Designated as 2003 EL61, the main object in the two-body system is 32 percent as massive as Pluto and is estimated to be about 70 percent of Pluto's diameter.

Other news reports that the object could be twice as big as Pluto are false, according to two astronomers who found the object in separate studies and another expert who has analyzed the data.

If the mass is only one-third that of Pluto, then theory holds that it can't be larger than Pluto, according to Brian Marsden of the Minor Planet Center, which serves as a clearinghouse for data on all newfound objects in the solar system.

Marsden, who was not involved in the discovery but has reviewed the data, told SPACE.com that the mass estimate is very firm, within 1 or 2 percent. "I don’t think it is bigger than Pluto," he said.

Where it fits in

This is still a big world, once again raising the prospect that something larger than Pluto might still lurk out there.

Scientists base their size calculations in part on the object's reflectivity. Since they don't know exactly how much the surface brightness of distant objects varies, there is some wiggle room in their size estimates.

A team led by Mike Brown of Caltech has been observing 2003 EL61 for a year but was seeking more data before announcing the discovery. Brown said today it may possibly be larger than Sedna, which has been the largest known world beyond Neptune other than Pluto.

Sedna is between 800 and 1,100 miles in diameter. Pluto is about 1,400 miles across.

Brown figures 2003 EL61 has a diameter of around 930 miles.

Is there any chance it is bigger than Pluto?

"No," Brown said in a telephone interview. "Definitely not."

In fact, Brown's team got the new data they had been waiting for, from the Spitzer Space Telescope, last week. While not fully analyzed, he said the Spitzer observations show "absolutely" that the object is not bigger than Pluto.

Who gets credit?

The object was spotted independently by a group led by Jose-Luis Ortiz of the Sierra Nevada Observatory in Spain. Ortiz' team announced the finding in astronomy circles recently and the finding, including the claim that it might be twice as big as Pluto, was reported by an online news site today.

Ortiz said that based on his team's observations, there was one outlying theory could allow 2003 EL61 to be larger than Pluto, but he does not think it is right.

"I do not think it is larger than Pluto," Ortiz told SPACE.com today.
