There IS competition...
There is nothing to stop a private operator providing an unsubsidized bus
service anywhere they think there is the demand. Also, they are allowed to
bid for the subsidy to operate an unprofitable route.

The main problem is that, since most of us own cars, when we make a choice
of which method to make a journey we are comparing the MARGINAL cost of
going by car to the TOTAL cost of using public transport. Also the benifit
of using public transport is not only to the passenger. Other road users
olso get the use of less congested and safer roads.

Well, I've heard it claimed by some people that they drive better when
mildly stoned, because it allows their intuitions and reflex to take over from a
more analytic mode of thought. It may well be that cannabis does afferct motor
control and/or motor reflexes, but its other effects, direct or otherwise, may
sometimes be more important. Perhaps just as a alcohol, which is a depressant,
can make you more high by removing a few inhibitions and a smattering of
rationality. Or for, that matter, why doctors will prescribe sedatives for mild
cases of depression, to reduce the anxiety level and hence the depressive
reaction to it. (Or something.)

Really?  Interesting.  I could swear that I first heard the music as one of
the tracks on "The BIG Demo", a hackers' demo on the Atari ST.  Since "The
BIG Demo" was basically a selection of Commodore 64 music tracks converted to
play on the ST sound chip, this would support someone else's assertion that
the music was from a Commodore 64 game.

Maybe we're all right, and it was the C64 version of "Robocop", and Nintendo
copied the music for the GameBoy version...

Hah, you were lucky! You should be a Hawkwind fan.

Then you'd have the joys of various ex-members of the band (let's say
there are around sixty of them) releasing various live tapes to obscure
record labels to be put out on CD and vinyl. Then, because Hawkwind have
been on almost as many record labels as there have been lineups, there
are rereleases (with one track different usually) and an almost endless
number of compilation albums many of which are the same tracks permuted
in various ways.

To add to the interest there are cases of the same album being called
different names on different releases, different albums being called the
same names, different albums with different names but the same covers,
albums with tracks listed which don't appear on the album, tracks
appearing on albums unlisted, the same track appearing under different
names, different tracks appearing under the same names. The CD's of
course usually have extra tracks, but the extra tracks are often
squeezed on to foreign releases of the vinyl. I won't even bother
mentioning the limited edition releases :-(

And now there's a new angle, different tracks with different names but
the same lyrics.

On the other hand, it would surely be discriminatory against those of
us who can't cope with smoking.  I've only ever experienced the stuff
once, in rock buns (of all things), and was told that its lack of
effect was to be expected - I should have been smoking it.

Pressing "hold" twice will overcome this (at least on my sets).
Or you could use the sub-page codes, once you get to know where the ads

Apparently-To: mail2news@demon.co.uk
Date: Fri, 8 Jan 1993 16:58:35 +0000

I am getting an intermittent problem with Nicam reception on ITV and CH4.
(this has been going on since before the handover to Carlton etc)

The problem is a loud clicking sound which happens every 4 seconds or so.

It does not happen all the time and if I turn off the Nicam monitor on the
video it goes away.

I was originally convinced the video was at fault because it has taken
to playing up in other ways recently. But I would be very interested to
know if anyone else has experienced similar problems - especially in the
Surrey area.

Actually, come to think of it, I have never noticed the stereo tv doing
it without the video. Maybe I should modify the question to has anyone
experienced anything similar with an Akai VSA 750 (I think) video?

...and should I just have the machine shot? 

Basically it is very annoying and I would appreciate any relevant 
information.

Thanks,

Dave

Actually, while I know this has been over hashed and re-hashed in the past, I think that
the actual law (Broadcasting Act of 1990 (?)) says that you need pay for a license for any
equipment which is capable of receiving electromagnetic, electrochemical, etc etc, and so
on transmissions...someone even mused that according to the law we technically need to pay
a fee to be able to speak in public.

If your equipment is capable of receiving any electromagnetic signals in the bandwidth
which tv signals are broadcast in, then in theory you need a lic.

I could be wrong...infact, I probably am.

There are number of stand-alone NICAM decoders you can get - though none too
cheap. Ones I am aware of are from Maplin, Sachs-Nicam, and ARCAM, cost range
about 100-500 quid. These have audio outputs you can feed into your Hi-Fi, plus
UHF, as well as composite video you could feed picture into your TV with if
it has a SCART or viceo input.

Look at it from the decoder's point of view. It has to turn the random-looking
number into a channel/date/time combination. I haven't seen anything which
says that there can be only one number that decodes into a given combination.
Are you saying that the UK {\em decoders} are different from the US ones?
Or is the encoding difference just a red herring.

Has anyone tried the 19297 number above on their UK decoder?
Why do people want the information anyway, other than curiosity and in reaction
to the claims it is proprietary?
The whole Video+ thing seems a solution looking for a problem to me.

I think they were German, actually, and they were a trio called (ahem) Trio.
The song was called 'Da Da Da'. Earlier Ariston adverts (around 2 years ago?)
used a direct steal of this song. The more recent ones seem to have moved on 
a bit.
