So true. But 'speed' is easy define, unlike 'danger'. It's not right to get jail for speeding alone, there has to be something more, or you're trashing someone's life for a number. And it's just not factually correct to say that anything over an arbitrary speed is dangerous. There's a huge shortfall in the law between 'careless' and 'dangerous'. I think most of you would agree that this lorry driver deserved a harsher penalty, certainly the difference between his sentence and the rider doing 166 mph should be a lot more than 15 months!!! ...

This poll is rigged!

Maybe I was looking forward to the E52, but then I heard at least some have a call quality problem http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discussions/board/message?board.id=communicators&thread.id=46085 Have you tried the E55 in a noisy place yet?

Yep, that DPI tag is largely irrelevant I think the only time it would come into play is if you loaded a picture into some program and asked it to print at a size given as a percentage (as opposed to in inches) - it would then work out the print size from the pixel dimensions and the dpi. At 100%, it would ask you to load paper that's about 40 x 55 inches

What a long thread! All that arguing, and it turns out you're both right... it depends on the year... (this is for J-spec...) [ATTACH]98085[/ATTACH]

Hope I didn't come across as criticising your choice, that wasn't how it was meant at all

Devan, on my scale I think I'd say those are very very very bright! Main thing for me is that for that type of LED, the white version is a very good match to 4300k HIDs. Lbm, I tried some similar to those but didn't like them - they didn't fill the reflector with light which I though looked 'odd'. Got any pics?

The white version of these match 4300k quite well, and fill the reflector with light so they don't look like dots... http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/images/u5019w.jpg 9 LED (very bright!) 5 LED (plenty bright enough to look fine)

Is there a reason why you don't want to use the bookmarking within Firefox? Its bookmark toolbar could give you what you want - you can have folders on the toolbar, which then act like menus, so you could have a folder for each topic. New bookmarks can be dragged into the right folder straight from the address box. Commonly used links can be on the toolbar itself, and if the site has an icon that you'll recognize, you can delete the textual part to fit more in. Ends up looking like this...

I'm not asking anybody, I'm just telling everybody. We can look for the North Pole, or we can play 'Here we go gathering Nuts and May' with the end part of an ants' nest. It's all the same to me.

All maps are 'wrong' in a way... the world map I posted is 'wrong' because the north pole would be shown as a line across the top of the map! (If it went that far north, it doesn't for that reason). But going up each of the vertical grid lines does head towards true north.

Sorry, that's just not right It depends on the projection used for the map - they're the same for many rectangular maps of the world...

Good point, if he's wondering which bit of Wales he hits first, it's not going to make much difference!

Grid north is a confusing term - I'd say true north instead, in what you just said there. Grid north on a map is straight up the sheet - it could be the same as true north (often is on a world map) but is different on an OS (or UTM ) map.

Does this help? The 'curvy' grid is on compass directions relative to true north, the square grid is what OS use for GB mapping... (From p35 of this doc: http://www.arrows.demon.co.uk/wgs84/50000026.pdf) [ATTACH]97738[/ATTACH] If you look at an OS map, it has info on it about the direction of true and magnetic Norths for each corner of the map... So yes, on OS maps there is an angular offset that varies depending on where you look... BUT it's just a result of the projection used in OS maps. You could use a different projection which keeps north 'up' over the whole map, but then distances would look distorted instead - Scotland would be wider, south coast narrower. (There's always a distortion when projecting the 3D world onto a 2D map, but you can choose between distorting angles or distances, or both).
